Riker's Island Death Row Inmates custom Dunny series by JC Rivera

"... and so, as punishment for your heinous crimes, I hereby sentence each of you to death by lethal injection. You are remanded to Death Row on Riker's Island to await your executions. Court adjourned."

With the pounding of Judge Gerety's gavel against his desk, the fates of the five criminals were sealed. The prosecuting attorney and the D.A. shook hands as the Inmates were led away in shackles through a door in the front of the courtroom. Reporters screamed a cacophony of questions and flashbulbs went off like strobe lights as the Inmates stepped into the beat-up, white DOC van. The short ride over the bridge to Riker's Island would be the longest ride of their lives. It was over.

The Riker's Island Death Row Inmates custom Dunny series by JC Rivera will be for sale tomorrow, February 1, at 5pm EST. The one-of-a-kind 3" custom Dunnys will be $75 each and you'll be able to find them on our JC Rivera page. 

We'd like to thank JC for giving us the opportunity to work with him on another exclusive release!

AW177 "Year of the Dragon 2012" Custom 8" Kidrobot Dunny, originally uploaded by AWI77.

This custom dunny represents the dragon, the mightiest of all the Chinese zodiac signs, the supreme spiritual power, the most ancient mythological emblem of dominance and ambition.
