Hundreds of people lined Collins Ave hoping to get one of the limited edition Miamified 305 Skullhead Dunnys designed by Huck Gee and get a sneak peak of the store. The lined stretched from 6th down pass 7th street. People camped out in line from the night before. Some came from NY, DC, Orlando, etc.
I made it at 4:30pm with shades on, I was #119.
The line continue to grow from there as the sun went down.
We met a lot of cool people while waiting in line. We saw a lot of freaks as well. People around the beach kept asking us, "What's going on?". I kept telling them Michael Jordan is getting braids and we're waiting to see.
These dudes came around with crayons for everyone waiting in line to draw on the sidewalk.
I had to mark my spot in history. ST//--11.29.07
I formed a new crew out there, our name is Nicca nicca nicca (inside joke)
It's getting dark. I felt sorry for the women in heels = /
People are getting antsy.
Ah yes, finally. Inside, Kid Robot style colors exploded everywhere. All of the toys methodically arranged on the outer walls, with clothing and bags in the back of the store.
Huck showed love to the peeps waiting in line. He even drew on some DIY dunny's for people waiting in line.
This is what we came for. Limited to one per person, I manage to snag 3 bwahahahaha! Good times, everyone was in a good mood. We need more events like this, sneaker pimps, rock the bells, etc. Miami is not all booty music and dope boys. It's not all fake Jordans and silver chains. There's culture here so beware!

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and assume that you don't necessarily play with these figurines/collectibles?
I'm guessing that's it's a form of art/expressing a certain culture but then again that's all questionable.
I think it's pretty cool, although I'm not familiar with any of it.
You guessed right. I don't play with them, I just collect them.
I have a new found respect for people with certain interest such as beanie babies. I use to make fun of those people. But then again...they could be making fun of me right now...
I think Beanie Babies is a wide stretch there buddy.
The only thing worth collecting is cash!
