A rally? really? It’s pretty sweet that they’re giving away stickers and toys but I really don’t think KidRobot has much of a case. They weren’t the first ones selling random miniature figures. Japan has had this thing called Gachapon for ages. For the record I do enjoy Dunnys and Munnys and the whole Urban Vinyl style. I just don’t buy them because I feel they’re overpriced. College student here, I’ve got bills to pay and food to buy.

Also KidRobot better start suing Disney. They already came out with Dysney Vinylmation.

TACO BELL BOYCOTT WEEK 3
Congratulations to all of you who continue to join the boycott! As of today, YUM BRANDS stock is down -6.13% since the boycott began. Taco Bell has seen their profits tumble since the boycott began and they will keep going down. During the same time, Del Taco profits have doubled. None of this would have happened if Taco Bell would have done the right thing and apologized and pulled their rip off designs off the shelf. The boycott continues to grow in numbers and more and more customers are switching to Del Taco. Our industry sources tell us that STROTTMAN has been secretly interviewing creative directors from neighboring agencies to replace MIKKO MERONEN. We think this is a good start and a public apology should follow. We will continue to boycott Taco Bell until they remove all Bell Hedz from all locations. Kid Robot’s lawsuit against Taco Bell and STROTTMAN will only get bigger the longer the Bell Hedz are on the shelf. The people have voted with their pocket books. Hopefully the good that will come out of this is that future rip off artists will think twice and not want to join MIKKI MERONEN on the wall of shame.

I think it’s great that Taco Bell has put more edge into their kid’s toys. Creating thinly veiled novelty sex toys is briliant. Young people today are more sophisticated about sexuality and this hits the mark. Congradulations Taco Bell! Or should I say Dildo Bell? Ps If Taco Bell is going to sell sex toys will Spencer’s Gifts start selling tacos?

No please, go ahead. Make Taco Bell stop selling Bellhedz. I’ve almost got them all, and when they’re gone, I’ma sell ‘em on eBay and make enough to buy all the cool Dunnys & Munnys I can’t afford because they’re too expensive!

Seriously folks, it’s like this: EVERYTHING YOU LOVE WILL EVENTUALLY BE COPIED, CO-OPTED, SUBVERTED, PERVERTED, DILUTED, DUMBED DOWN, REPACKAGED, AND SOLD TO PEOPLE WHO DON’T GET IT BY PEOPLE WHO DON’T CARE FOR LESS THAN HALF WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY PAID FOR IT.

THIS IS THE TRUTH EVERY FANBOY SECRETLY FEARS.

Haha you people are funny. First of all kid robot would never win this lawsuite and taco bell
Won’t stop selling these and expect more series to come. As for hating these things how bout don’t buy them? “Id Robot will not loose money over these crappy knock offs just like cheap superman toys at the dollar stores don’t hurt dc. Kid robot is kinda of a rip off but they make some cool ass stuff so it equals out.

TACO BELL BOYCOTT WEEK 2
My heart goes out to all of the people at Kid Robot that MIKKO MERONEN OF STROTTMAN ripped off. Several industry sources have confirmed that Kid Robot has issued a cease and desist letter to Taco Bell, and Taco Bell has been cooperative. I have received thousands of emails from people joining the boycott until Taco Bell removes all Bell Hedz from all locations. The public is tired of corporate scandals where big companies pick on the small guy. Taco Bell has an opportunity to do the right thing here. First, they need to issue a public apology and remove all Bell Hedz. Second, they need to settle with Kid Robot. Finally, they need to show that they do not associate with companies that rip people off and hurt their livelyhoods. The Taco Bell investors will be hurt by the fallout of this as well, similar to the Bernie Madoff investors. MIKKO MERONEN AND STROTTMAN have been around long enough to know how badly this will hurt Kid Robot. Yet, they had no creative ideas of their own and ripped them off. On their website it says they understand what motivates and inspires kids. Is teaching kids to steal motivating and inspiring? MIKKO MERONEN thinks so. Finally, here is my advice to the STROTTMAN employees that keep trying to save their jobs by writing comments on here. It’s time to dust off your resume and make a run for the border!

BOYCOTT TACO BELL UNTIL THE BELL HEDZ ARE DEAD. This Boycott started yesterday and will continue until they remove all Bell Hedz from all locations. Thousands have already joined in this boycott. MIKKO MERONEN of Strottman should have thought twice before ripping off Kid Robot. He better have a damn good lawyer. Strottman should be ashamed of themselves for hiring this thief.
