JLed's Mr. Bunny Triplets

Joe Ledbetter's Mr. Bunny vinyl figures from Wheaty Wheat Studios have made a huge splash on the scene.  The ultra-limited (50 pieces) black/yellow KR exclusive Lava Bunny sold out immediately.  The regular edition Yellow Mr. Bunny (400 pieces) has been completely distributed to retailers and is pretty hard to come by for retail price.  The coveted blue Sno Bunny edition (just 100 pieces) should be available any day now from retailers.

These figures are an excellent representation of Joe Ledbetter's unique 2D drawing style.  JLed's signature character has made the jump to 3D as  one of the most unique designer toys available today.  Wheaty Wheat is quite proud of the JLed series toys and rightfully so.  The design of these toys is meticulous right down to the metal inserts in Mr. Bunny's ears to prevent droopiness.  Beyond the figure, the packaging is sweet.  The box panels contain 3 amazing JLed illustrations including a nice yin/yang pair - one featuring a dolphin and the other featuring a ravenous shark. 

Many collectors are frustated about the relatively small edition sizes for Mr. Bunny.  Wheaty Wheat decided on the print runs back when JLed was not the mega star that he is today.  Believe it or not, there was some question as to how well these would sell due to their very unique design.  Hindsight is 20/20, but the end result is an extremely desirable and highly sought after piece.  No doubt about it!
