The Most Wanted Crew : Behind The Hype
Welcome to the blog spot for all things related to The Most Wanted Crew; An artist collective created by Tim Munz, Igor Ventura, and Manny Rivas, featuring some of the most sought after up and coming artists and customizers from around the globe. Feel free to check out our online shop for original artwork and customs from some of our many talented artists. Thank you for checking us out and we hope you come back often to see what's new in the world of The MW Crew.
This Friday at 12 Noon PST we'll be dropping the "all CATS" Charity Custom Dunny Series curated by Tim Munz in collaboration with the Most Wanted Artist Collective [that's just a fancy way of saying we helped out every now and then, lol] at the MW Shop! Featuring some great names in the custom vinyl toy scene, these are pretty already spoken for except for the last 4 blinds. As featured on Spanky Stokes and Opportunity LOL, never has a charity custom series looked so purrrrrrfect [sorry, I had to do it]! With 11 different designs by RunDMB, Tim Munz, Igor Ventura, Betso, Matucha, Map-Map, & Luhiz Unreal, these are sure to sell out on the quickness! And just in case you're not able to score one during the drop, you can try your luck at winning one by picking up the "Breakfast at Maggy's" print. Good luck, thank you for all your support, and in the meanwhile checkout the original thread over on the Kidrobot boards to see how it all got started.
Much Love,
The MW Crew
For those of you following the "all CATS" Charity Custom Dunny Series (put together by Tim Munz in participation with 5 other amazing artists), half of the limited edition prints will be up for sale today over at our shop at 12 noon PST! And for those of you who haven't been following the series, well, here's your chance to get acquainted and help support a good cause by scoring some dope PAUSE (see what I did just there?!?). All proceeds will go towards helping Maggy (a once stray kitty who has found a good home with Tim and his girlfriend) in her recovery. Plus, for every print you buy you'll be entered to win a free blind box from the series, or a super limited laser engraved version of the "Breakfast at Maggy's" print on wood! The wood print is absolutely beautiful and is not for sale, so this is your only chance for scoring one! And at only $12 bux a pop, it's a win win situation ;)
PAUSE! is at it again. This time they have taken their Chainsaw Panda character off paper and brought it into the 3D world by using an 8" Dunny as their canvas! Now I usually don't like to throw the words, "@#$!%& awesome!" around, but this is in fact, @#$*%^! awesome! And if you're wondering if this violent little bastard is available for sale, the answer is no (sorry!). This was made for a private collector and shall be making it's way across the Atlantic very soon. For more pictures and details check out this link which will shoot you on over to the Kidrobot boards!
Tim and a few other MW artists (among others) have gotten together to help an injured cat that Tim and his girlfriend found in their backyard a few weeks ago. The cat was in so much pain due to a serious injury to her back and was rushed to the vet the very next day. Luckily they were able to perform a surgery which saved her life, but it left Tim with a hefty bill. So after putting together an amazing line up, we bring you the "all CATS" Custom Dunny Series! Every cent will go to making sure Maggy the cat get's proper medical treatment, has a roof under her head, and food in her belly :) Check out out more about the series and the down right mind blowing line up (including names like Betso, runDMB, Map-Map, and more) on the Kidrobot Boards!
Thank you for all your support!

Tearing up campsites, crapping in your bird feeder, and knocking down your snowmen, this angry Yeti is far from friendly, but what a magnificent bastard he is! Originally this was an 8" Dunny (yea, I know, right), but he can get away with passing off as an OG sclupt. PAUSE has definitely killed it (or should I say, brought to life) with yet another dope custom from their design studios all the way in Canada (ey?) ;] And if you're thinking, "Ok, I need this, where's the bloody purchase link?!?", well, I hate to be the guy to ruin your day but this little fella was a commission for a private collector. Stings just a little bit don't it? But if you stick around you'll have a shot at scoring one of their pieces through MW3, and I gotta say, it's going to be one hell-of-a design! Or you may be able to squeeze on to their commission list (no promises), just hit up their link and you'll be able to find some contact info. Enjoy the pics, compliments of [II] Designs, and you can find more info on the Yeti HERE!


And we're SOLD OUT! Thanks a lot everyone! And remember, you'll have two more chances at scoring some MW3 goodness. There's one more preorder (will be pretty limited as well though), and the final drop date! Keep checking here, our facebook page, twatter, and of course, the Kidrobot forums ;)
Well, it's not the full on preorder (that's coming later on), but we are going to offer a very limited amount of spots later on today! I know, I know, this is indeed very last minute, but that's the point ;) We just wanted to give you guys (our biggest fans and followers) a shot at ordering a blind or two in a more private unannounced setting. Here's a very crappy teaser just to keep you guessing. Honestly, it'll probably annoy you more than anything, lol. And all the info you need is right below. . .

So after a month long hiatus, we're back with a huge grin on our faces! Our very own Sergio Mancini received some very nice recognition on Kidrobot's own online magazine, The Kronikle! In honor of him placing No.1 in the 2012 Munnyworld contest, Ryan the Wheelbarrow (who I should mention will be a part of the already amazing MW3 line up) sat down with Sergio for an in depth Q&A. Check out the full interview here. Congratz Sergio, we know things will only get better from here ;)
