The Dolbee is a brand new vinyl platform figure designed by MAD TOY DESIGN & ATP and brought to you by Clownshoes, the toy company from the people behind All Tomorrows Parties Festival and Don't Look Back Concerts.

Measuring 5", the Dolbee platform is moulded as a cassette tape and boxed in an old school boom box.

At each ATP festival, Clownshoes will release a Dolbee to coincide with the event. The first edition, designed by MAD TOY DESIGN (www.madtoydesign.com), was released for the Portishead curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival, which took place in Minehead, UK in December ‘07. There are 365 of this first edition available for public sale, each one numbered with a day of the year.

Our second Dolbee was designed by Kathie Olivas for the event that took place in Camber Sands, UK on May 2008. The event was curated by music website Pitchfork and ATP.

Silkscreen poster artist Michael Motorcycle who has designed numerous posters for ATP festival events, presents the third edition. This Dolbee was designed to coincide with the May 2008 event, curated by Explosions in the Sky.

There were 366 editions of both Kathie and Michael's designs available from each respective event onwards (one for each day of 2008).

Each figure retails at £20 / $40 or is sold as a set of all 3 designs for £50 /$100. Future toys will remain exclusively available at the festivals initially. Any remaining will then be made available for sale after the event through www.atpfestival.com and the following toy outlets:
Toy Tokyo in New York City, Rotofugi in Chicago & Outre in Melbourne, Australia.
