Kidrobot
Kidrobot is a producer and retailer of designer toys, vinyl art toys and collectibles founded in 2002 by Paul Budnitz, specializing in artist-created toys and imports from Japan, Hong Kong, and Europe. Kidrobot also makes ''Kidrobot Mascots'', which are figures of their main logo. These figures are usually nicknamed KR (Kidrobot's common nickname) and the number of the Mascot. For example, the first Mascot was KR1. Some figures also have names; for example, KR1 was called Brooklyn. In August 2008, Kidrobot collaborated with jewelry designer, Tarina Tarantino, to launch a limited edition jewelry line, kidrobot by Tarina Tarantino.
In November 2014, National Entertainment Collectibles Association Inc. (NECA) acquired Boulder-based art toy company Kidrobot. Terms were not disclosed. Artist-driven Kidrobot remains headquartered in Boulder, CO. Frank Kozik, the famed concert-poster artist and creator of Kid robot's Labbit vinyl toy products, joined the company as creative director in 2014.〔http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_27021210/kidrobot-sold-labbit-creator-frank-kozik-named-creative〕
