THUNDERDOG RELEASES THUNDERMUTT!!!

December 2005 - Brooklyn-based Creative Agency THUNDERDOG STUDIOS INC. happily announces the creation of its very own toy label!

From now until the end of time, THUNDERDOG will be producing and designing top-quality Designer Toys and Fine Art products, ranging from clothing and accessories to books and nightlights!

THUNDERDOG's passion for art and design has finally collided with capitalism! For your benefit, the resulting product will soon be available on www.thunderdogstudios.com (and soon available in select stores and boutiques!

THUNDERDOG presents: THUNDERMUTT Version 1.0!

THUNDERMUTT is the debut toy on THUNDERDOG's brand new Toy Label! THUNDERMUTT is a 4" tall, rotary cast, soft-vinyl figure produced in a limited edition of 500 pieces. Designed by THUNDERDOG founder and President Tristan Eaton, this toy is accompanied by a special, hand-signed and numbered print. THUNDERMUTT also has a secret interior design that can only be revealed by removing his 'ginormous' head. This interior design is TOP SECRET and will not be made public until the first box has been opened!

THUNDERMUTT works as a personal 3D canvas for the designers of THUNDERDOG STUDIOS to explore and execute their design sensibilities. Expect to see multiple variations coming in the future, featuring collaborations with such artists as FILTH, Mr. Shane Jessup, SEEN and many more...

As long-standing creatives for Kidrobot Inc., THUNDERDOG members Tristan Eaton and Lucas 'FILTH' Irwin are proud to further their contributions to the Designer Toy community. Woohoo!

THUNDERMUTT Version 1.0 will NEVER be available in stores! So how do you get your THUNDERMUTT? Sign up for the THUNDERDOG mailing list at www.thunderdogstudios.com to hear about exclusives, events and rare availabilities where he might show up!
