Junko Mizuno’s La Flamme Dunny
Having previously created her Dunny designs as self-contained characters, Mizuno’s deviated from this pattern with La Flamme, for which she treated Kidrobot’s form as a three-dimensional canvas. Contained within its curvaceous shape is what the artist describes as a “fun party/ritual scene,” the central image depicting her Witch archetype with the sculpted addition of a pig-tailed disciple looming overhead. Their magical energy emerging as wreaths of transparent flames and a skull-adorned wand, this one-armed vinyl form is decorated with a multitude of Mizuno’s signature creatures on both the front and backside. Conceived more akin to a sculptural screenprint than a simple stand-alone piece, Mizuno’s La Flamme design debuted on Friday, October 11th of 2019 in the 1000-piece Green Edition and the 400-piece Black Edition, the latter being a Kidrobot.com exclusive version which is also known as the Dark and Metallic Edition. Returning at DesignerCon in the frigid-hued Ice Edition, this 250-piece variation powerfully emanates Mizuno’s art, her colorful decorations popping against its silvery skin.
