Toy OTD: Doma, Kid Robot's Acid Sweetie Figures: Bomb Eater, Don Gelatto, Mr. Earth

Kid Robot released another series of blind-boxed mini-figures this past spring - Acid Sweeties, created by the Australian street art collective Doma. I love the design work, but wasn't quite driven to get the entire set. My toy collection's big enough these days that I have to prioritize, so I stopped blind buying and found a website that was selling opened figures. I gave away the others I'd accumulated to a friend. These, then, are my three favorites!

Happily, the characters with smaller legs are assembled, not molded as a solid piece. That means you can rotate the legs at the hip to adjust the feet, if any casting variations have thrown the figure off balance. The sculpts and paint work are very nice, too, appropriate for the tight design style.

You can still get these three figures separately if you want, though it'll cost you more than the original $8.00 price - kawaii-uk.com has them for £5.99 and £4.69 (about $12 and $10 USD) + shipping each. Still, you can go through a lot of cash just hunting, and Kid Robot doesn't even have them for sale on their site any longer - I guess they sold pretty well!
