Otto Björnik's beautifully rendered custom work continues to grow as he unveils "Kwadro Kwin (Four of a Kind)," a series of 9-inch tall Dunnys done in a royal theme. As he explains:
It has been written that ‘War is the trade of kings.’ But we all know that behind every great king, there lies an even more powerful queen. This is the story of four sisters who were each destined for royalty. They were the beautiful daughters of a wealthy nobleman who lived in the Center Valley. They spent their days playing spirited rounds of mahjong and betting against each other in lively, trash-talk-laden games of marbles.
But each of the pieces is uniquely designed, reflecting their individual personalities (click on the images for a larger view of them):
| Qortni had a temper that was quick to flare and difficult to extinguish. Had there been anger management courses in her village, she would have flunked every one. She had a glare that could stop a snarling hyena and send it whimpering away. |
| Quilla was an incurable romantic and masterful daydreamer. She could often be found chasing frightened woodland creatures in the hopes of singing with them. To this day, that has not happened. |
| Qiana smiled and skipped wherever she went. Luck, it seemed, always seemed to follow her around like puppies eager to be noticed. This annoyed her sisters greatly. |
| Quarta wanted to have it all. She liked to fill her pockets with baubles and gems, some of which were hers and some of which were not. She also had the habit of licking every bonbon in the box so no one else would eat them. |
These pieces are sadly not available for sale, but Björnik is working on a series of 3-inch Dunnys based on these designs that will be. And, he teases, that these 9-inch versions are "also a part of a series of toy releases in the coming weeks."
