TEAM ROBBO’ VENGEANCE CONTINUES IN SOUTH AFRICA

TEAM ROBBO SOUTH AFRICA from Team Robbo SA on Vimeo.

Here´s another act of revenge by Robbo supporters that adds to the “Robbo vs Banksy” beef, this time in South Africa, fueled by what happened a few years ago on the Regents Canal in Camden (London).
The stunt was a total prank in this war between “Robbo Vs. Banksy” which has turned into “Graffiti Vs. Street Art”. Pure entertainment… for some.

“Those Maricons at Welcome skateshop in Madrid have this warehouse that we skate every time I go out there. Over the past few months I’ve been skating there a lot, so we’d just film once in a while…and this is what happened. —Haslam”

Kidrobot x Family Guy ‘Mini Figures’

 

 

 

“Giggity-giggity-goo… Seth MacFarlane’s ridiculous Fox hit gets Kidrobot-ified with these 3-inch FGKRs. Packed full of all those utterly inappropriate good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely, it’s Family Guy! Your faves Peter, Lois, Chris, Stewie and Brian are there along with what’s-her-face. Don’t want to Stop Believin’? Quagmire, Joe and Cleveland make it happen. With more accessories than correctness, each of the 15 blind boxed figures comes with an insert card and begs the question, “Which FGKR will you get?”
