ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

I’ve been wanting a Michael Lau figure for a while. Any version of Davy and some of the Crazy Children (especially Crazy Girl and Her Cat) have been on my wishlist, but I couldn’t manage the expense. However, after writing a zillion posts on CSBOOTH15 and contemplating the relativity of my film degree, I was unable to hold back: I ordered up Michael Lau’s Stanley Kubrick set from Ningyoushi (which is still available here).

Two-dimensional pictures really can’t do Michael Lau’s figure’s justice, since their very shape and style are what makes them so unique. Due to the dirth of pictures of the SK3 figures online, I took my set down to an empty lot with a tagged up wall by the train tracks and shot some images. These are watermark-free for your viewing pleasure, but if you use them elsewhere, a link back to ToyCyte is appreciated! Lots more photos on ToyCyte’s MySpace page. Let me know what you think. (I’m partial to FatWestJacket in the Houseplant Jungle.)
