Thrillist Dallas
Thursday July 30, 2009

Kidrobot Dallas

Grand Opening Party, Thu Jul 30, 6-8p: In Mockingbird
Station, 5307 E. Mockingbird Lane, Suite 107; 214.887.6226

As you grow into manhood, you go for upgraded versions of
the things you loved as a kid, like not-BB guns, or a
full-sized pink Corvette with matching genital-free
boyfriend. Now upgrade your action figures at the Kidrobot
pop-up store, open today thru the holidays.

In a long, narrow, coolly branded Mockingbird Station space,
this Dallas pop-up follows NYC, Chicago, and London spaces
as temporary homes for an aggressive collection of figurines
so next-level, some have actually been featured at NYC's
Museum of Modern Art, right next to feces paintings. Stock
ranges from Simpsons and Adult Swim characters
(Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, etc), to the Mongers
collection (hilariously pissed-off, cigarette-smoking
apples, bananas, grenades, pandas, etc), to "Things That
Hurt" zipper pulls (brass
knuckles/guns/razors/knives/grenades), to the Grateful Bear:
a bling- & Wayfarer-rocking polar bear designed by artist
"Dust la Rock" and DJ A-Trak, who won the 1997 World DJ
Championship at age 15, no doubt coached by his overbearing,
Marv Marinovich-like dad. More awesomeness is available
online, including the squatting, sweater-clad Miss November
1978, and a German posable-figure line that features
gorillas, aliens, cowboys, boxers, HazMat techs, and a
smoking-jacketed Hugh Hefner, who hasn't had to use his
kung-fu grip since 1953.

Tonight at Kid's grand opening, the first 200 to show up get
a free "Golden Ticket Dunny", a pocket-size gilded samurai.
As for arriving on time to get it signed by artist Huck
Gee...You Ken do it!
