Kidrobot presents the Breaking Free 8-Inch Resin Dunny by WHATSHISNAME. Pressure to be what your family wants you to be. What society says you need to be. What advertising says you’ll be happy to be. But you can break free. This collaboration between Kidrobot and London-based artist Whatshisname uses the canvas of the Dunny to explore the struggle between the parts of our identity imposed by the outside world and our desire to be our authentic selves. This empowering 8-inch resin figure shows a person pressing back against the strictures of the world and in the process of emerging as themselves.

Limited Edition of 1300.

With artworks and sculptures that intrigue and surprise, WHATSHISNAME is one of the most ironic names out there for an artist.

The Polish-born artist started creating his first digital art at an early age of 7 while using the iconic Atari 130 XE, building image pixel by pixel using the text editor, an art from which is currently known as pixel art. After moving to London, UK in 2006, Sebastian worked with variety of British artists as an assistant, helping fulfill their creative visions, while being mentored and refining his craft before embarking on a solo career as professional artist.

Samuel ★★★★★

This resin Dunny has real heft to it—the 8-inch size makes it a proper centerpiece on my shelf. The way the figure is posed, mid-break free from that invisible pressure, captures the feeling way better than I expected from a collectible.

Henry D. ★★★★★

The paint job on this 8-inch resin piece is flawless—crisp lines and a finish that feels substantial in hand. It's heavy enough to anchor a shelf without wobbling, and the theme about breaking free from societal pressure really hits home every time I glance at it.

John ★★★★★

I was honestly expecting a standard collectible, but the pressure-cooker theme with the ropes and cinderblocks really hits home—it’s way more thought-provoking in person. The resin feels solid and the paint job on the little details is cleaner than I’ve seen on similar pieces.
