Peter Kato is planning on ramping up the festivities this week as he proudly announces his special Holiday Sale! Featuring all-new Bedtime Bunnies tree ornaments, “Holiday” edition Sleeptime and Bedtime Bunnies, plus the debut release from former intern Kevin Nam, we bring you a quick rundown on each of the pieces that’ll be up for grabs from Peter’s online store this coming Thursday, December 11th at 8pm EST…

Bedtime Bunnies Ornaments- A completely re-sculpted, hanging foot interpretation of the ever popular Bedtime Bunnies, the little guy comes in at around 2.25″ tall, featuring a loop-screw on the head with a metallic wire ornament hook. Limited to 20 in a mix of white and pink resin, these will be up for grabs at just $20 each… A bunny is not just for Christmas though! Luckily we can expect to see this sculpt again in the near future as part of Peter’s new range of danglers and keychain figures.

Sleeptime Bunnies Holiday Colors- The tiny little Sleeptime Bunnies return for a festive Holiday round of colors! Limited to a batch of 35 this time around, the adorable micros have been produced in a blind-assorted mix of white, light green and pink resin with hand painted detailing. Pricing on these is still to be confirmed, but we’re guessing they’ll be available for around $12 each.

Bedtime Bunnies Holiday Polka Dots- Last from Peter comes the latest round of ever popular Bedtime Bunnies. Produced in a mix of red, pink, green and clear purple resin, each has been treated to a round of hand painted white polka dots. Limited to 10 in the 3″ medium size and 20 in the 2.5″ small, these have been priced at just $20 and $12 respectively.

Kevin Nam’s Big Top- Having interned with Peter over a 7 month period last year – picking up the ins and outs on hand sculpting, mold making, resin casting, dremeling and beyond – up and coming artist Kevin Nam was tasked with creating an original resin toy as his final project, the result being the awesome Big Top ‘bot you see above! Standing at a chunky 2.5″ tall x 2.5″ wide, the fully working, hand sculpted spinning top features an ingenious “rock, paper, scissors” style mechanic, with each of the robots hands (clenched, outstretched and 2 fingers up) representing the game’s 3 choices. Produced by Kevin in 3 different colorways for this debut release- “Red”, limited to 5, “Green”, again limited to 5 and “Marble Red/White/Green”, limited to just 2 – each comes packed with a clear stand for display for just $30 each. Here’s hoping Big Top is the first toy of many we see from Kevin!
