MONOLITH Dunny 8" Sculpted Vinyl Art Figure by ROBOT SODA - Sangre Edition (Limited to 150)

MONOLITH: A single, massive object collecting and sharing a story told through modern iconic vignettes.

ROBOT SODA aka Juan Carlos Arenas on his new Dunny art toy design celebrating the bold, colorful, and rhythmic world of border culture.

“Growing up on the US-Mexico border, I've always been immersed in a unique mix of U.S. pop culture and tradition,” says Arenas. “This blend is at the heart of my work.” 

He pulls inspiration directly from his life and works in a variety of mediums — paintings, sculpture, animation, and printed media — to represent his vibrant bicultural experience. 

“A few years back, I started making tile sculptures that capture little moments and icons from my childhood, influenced by my favorite things: a mix of commercial art, bootlegs, and Mexican folk art. By combining different techniques, I reflect the unique fusion of contemporary and traditional elements that define border life.”

His tile sculptures make up MONOLITH's iconographic design, which pays tribute to everything from ancient Aztec imagery to the classic Mexican TV series El Chapulin Colorado. Look closely and you'll find eagles, snakes, Día de los Muertos sugar skulls and marigolds, luchadores, conchas (sweet breads), and so much more. Cacti are also a theme throughout — a symbol of resilience in harsh conditions.

“Through my work, I aim to evoke pride, nostalgia, purpose, and celebration. I want to share the beauty of our identity and invite you to explore the dynamic world where cultures meet.”

Measuring 8 inches tall, this articulated art figure is made of blood-red vinyl with a dark wash that accentuates its sculptural details.

Third and final in the series. Limited to 150 pieces worldwide.

The MONOLITH collectible art figure comes in Sangre, Onyx, and semi-translucent Jade editions.
