Heroes of Burgertown

image

Brand new limited edition mini-figures produced by Kid Robot.

Burgertown has set up an award scheme to help promote civic pride across its population. Unfortunately real heroism is a little thin on the ground so the awards have been granted to these characters, for quite dubious reasons.
There are 16 figures in total to collect, they are approx. 3” tall and come accompanied with an information card, detailing why they’ve been labeled a Hero of Burgetown. The colours are bright and the quality of the sculpts and paint is excellent. The figures come blind-boxed, which means you don’t know what you’re going to get until you open it.

If you are based in America you can get them from Kid Robot as well as you local toy stores.
They are also available at toy stores and trendy boutiques around the world.
If you can’t find a local stockist, or would like a signed box, they are available for a limited time only from my webshop.

This is a photo of Zomboo riding The Gobbler. I’m not sure The Gobbler is enjoying the ride, yet Zomboo seems to be smiling about something.

This is Alfonzo, he is quite hairy.

image
Coco Gulab Juman is a really greedy and likes eating sausages. He also likes pies, sweets, vegetables and anything else that can be classified as food.

image
Collie is a quiz show king. He also is quite good at worrying about everything.

image
Dinkton Wallis is a thrill seeker, an adrenaline junkie and a secret knitting fanatic.

image
Doofus has three legs. This helps him stand.

image
Sausage is made entirely out of soya protein. He has a slightly smokey flavouring.

image
Tittymon is a rapscallion and a tiny terror.

image
Yimmi Bites bites.

image
Piccalilicus likes to disco dance, do fries come with that shake?

image
Tiny Hero tried to fly off the roof of a house last week. He broke his collar bone.

Hi Will La, there’s actually a total of 15 including 2 chases. I should know b/c I made a checklist and was meticulous in my pursuit. Oh also, I asked Jon! (Although it would be cool if people started making additional Heroes of their own...)

Just got my first hero - and it’s one of the chase figures..Mendaline! Should be enough to convince my wife that buying even more is an investment, and not just me being some sort of weird grown-up who should know better raspberry

These came out great, really nice asymetry across them: they really stand out from the standard round shaped characters we so much of now.  Awesome stuff!  Dinkton is a classic.

I’m totally in love with these guys! I’ve had a lot of discussions about which character represents people I know best! Great way to waste time wink
