ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Brin Berliner should need no introduction in our humble community since undoubtedly you’ve got several of his pieces in your collection. He’s the unnamed force behind figures by MARS-1, Ron English, SEEN, Jermaine Rogers, Frank Kozik, SuperDeux, Gary Baseman and tokidoki, but like a Stewart Copeland to a Sting, Brin is not always a household name. A sculptor for over 15 years, Brin now specializes in toy art and has applied his skills to this custom translucent recasted Obama action figure.

Check out the current lineup of Art + Action = Obama 08 [blogged] here. The show goes off at Toy Tokyo’s The Showroom on October 17th (that’s tonight). Keep it tuned to ToyCyte for exclusives, sneak previews, available work and coverage of the event.
