A few weeks ago, I got an invitation from Kris Knutson, owner of Robot Love, for the release party at his store of the Dunny Series 5 vinyl action figures. I thought that it would be fun to take Hua Mei to the event. I showed her some pictures of them on the web and she liked them. I decided I’d be a couple of the ones she liked. Little did I know that Dunnies are packaged so that you don’t know which one that you get when you buy one. As we waited in line to buy some, many were talking about getting a case or two. In the end I figured that I’d go ahead and get a case since I figured that I’d most likely get the Dunnies that Hua Mei liked.

As it turned out, we got 17 of the 19 Dunnies that are in the series. We got doubles of a few which I took to my office. We got a couple of pretty rare ones including two of the Huck Gee Dunny, my favorite.

Hua Mei loves them and calls them her “little men.” She also got a Dunny shirt at the event and she loves to wear it to sleep.

So, being the obsessive person that I am, I finally broke down and got the last two Dunnies in the series off of ebay. They arrived this past week. They now sit with the other 17 on a shelf in Hua Mei’s room.

All right, obviously I didn’t get them just for Hua Mei. And yes, I do like to collect things like that. But I think I’m done. Whew. …

… Okay, well, I’m done for now, at least. ;-)
