Under the collaborative efforts of K.R. and IZUMONSTER, the iconic figure of Mr. PotatoDogHead has undergone a radical transformation, reimagining its classic appearance.
The figure is meticulously crafted, retains its potato-shaped head but now captivates with a redesigned face. Bright eyes contrast with the brain model on top, and the toothy mouth adds a touch of humor. Replacing the black hat with the brain model cleverly blends whimsy and surrealism, enhancing the character’s charm.
This Mr. PotatoDogHead showcases K.R. and IZUMONSTER’s artistic collaboration, mixing horror and humor. It’s both alluring and unsettling, with the brain structure symbolizing creativity and the character’s leap from the ordinary to a realm of pure imagination. This narrative art challenges conventions, drawing viewers into a captivating, imaginary world.

Italian artist Codec Zombie’s MiniMurrays art toy series features his take on Bill Murray’s cinematic performances including MiniZissou (The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou) and Boss Murray (Isle of Dogs). It’s fitting that the brand-new third figure in the series from Codec Zombie is none other than Zombill.
Transcending the Wes Anderson-lineage of the previous two drops, Zombill is inspired by Bill Murray’s turn in Zombieland which gifted movie fans with the memorable line: “I do it to blend in, you know, zombies don’t mess with other zombies.” Zombill debuts in a pale tan with purple hair edition. The stylized proportions of the sculpt amplify Murray’s comedic genius with an oversized head and instantly-recognizable face.
