Toy to the World

Kidrobot Opens

You’ve amassed your fair share of tchotchkes (Pez dispensers, anything bearing monkeys). Drawing the line, that is, at cherubic ceramic children.

Up your collecting cool factor by visiting Kidrobot, which just opened its flagship store in South Beach. Famous for its graffiti- and anime-inspired toy collectibles, the company works with artists who design limited-edition toys, accessories, and apparel that’ll run you $1 to $1,000.

In addition to munnys, dunnys, and labbits, the new store also carries Kidrobot’s own clothing label and a new women’s line that includes swimsuits, skirts, dresses, hoodies, tees, and, naturally, designer kicks.

Plus, look forward to appearances by artist collaborators like Miami natives Friends with You and Carlos East, who will hold regular signings at the store.

Just the kind of precious moments you cherish.

Kidrobot, 638 Collins Avenue (305-673-5807 or kidrobot.com).
