Old pals and long time collaborators Tristan Eaton & Lucas FILTH Irwin have come together to create the latest and greatest installment in the THUNDERMUTT vinyl toy series. THUNDERMUTT 3.0 features FILTH’s signature design aesthetic while incorporating Tristan’s iconography on it’s surface, all concealing a special FILTH design deep under it’s head. This installment features both RED and BLUE editions of THUNDERMUTT 3.0.
Each THUNDERMUTT 3.0 is packaged in a special gift box, with a silk-screened, individually numbered, metal print. Prints are randomly assorted and printed on brass or aluminum.
THUNDERMUTT 3.0 RED: Edition of 500pcs.
THUNDERMUTT 3.0 BLUE: Edition of 200pcs.
If you can’t get to one of the coasts, never fear! THUNDERMUTT 3.0 will also be available on the THUNDERDOG WEBSTORE Sept. 22nd.
Or bug your local toy store to order them for you from: DKE TOYS.
If anyone is down for a party this weekend, roll through the Halcyon 10 Year Anniversary Party at Water Taxi Beach at the South Street Seaport!
Of course, we’ve been fans of the D.U.M.B.O. Brooklyn record store since they started, so we’re honored when they asked Thunderdog to design their 10 Year Anniversary logo. Thanks guys!
The event should be a blast. Keep an eye out for some special live painting action and Thunderdog toys in the Charity Auction!!!
Tristan will have some paintings on display this weekend in Portland along side some of his deviant buddies. Come through if you can!

After 5 months of hard work, we have completed and launched our very own iPhone App!!! It’s called B-BOT and is up on the iTunes store now! We are so proud and so happy to see this out there in the world and we know you’re gonna love it!
Make sure to write us a review and let us know what you think! 5 stars are appreciated!!!

B-BOT!
Make friends. Customize your contacts.
B-BOT is brought to you by New York based creative agency Thunderdog Studios and features all new artwork from world-renowned artist Tristan Eaton.
Famous for his work in designer toys (including Kidrobot’s Dunny and Munny), Tristan Eaton has brought his art to the small screen with an app that combines the visual style of the art toy movement with the sleek technology of the iPhone. If you ever wanted to see how you’d look as an Urban Vinyl Toy, here’s your chance!
With B-BOT you can customize your contacts by making awesome cartoons of yourself and your friends. Once you’ve created a B-BOT, you can assign it to a contact on your iPhone or iPod touch directly from the application. Now when you receive a call from that person, the B-BOT will show up on the caller ID screen. Or you can use our built-in shuffle feature to randomly generate B-BOTs ‘til the cows come home!
B-BOT features a huge variety of bodies to choose from along with hundreds of hair styles, accessories, eyes, mouths, sneakers, and more. No matter how fresh or freaky your style is, there’s something in there for you! With over 400 items to choose from, you can make over a billion B-BOTs of yourself and your friends. And if you don’t have any friends, just make them!

B-BOT was conceived by Tristan and New York creative Peter Cortez while working together on a project for the 2008 Barack Obama Campaign.
B-BOT was developed by Greg Elliott, the creator of SynchStep; the app that automatically synchs your music to your pace. www.synchstep.com
