VIDEO REVIEW: Otto Bjornik × Kidrobot's "Shah Mat" Dunny Chess Set!

Otto Björnik's "Shah Mat II" Dunny & Mini-Totem chess set was easily one of the best custom designer toy creations of 2011, so it was thrilling to see Kidrobot ask the artist to reinterpret the design as a purely Dunny-centric concept. As Spanky discussed in his unboxing video, this release was primarily available as a blind box series — though a very limited number of complete sets were also sold. Having gotten all the designs myself, we decided to do a proper history and review of the release in video form… And, if nothing else, its worth watching for the first 30 seconds wherein I somehow ended up playing myself in a game of the "Deadly Race to the Eighth Square!"
