ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Mi2 Studios’ Buddha’s Delight was one of the most interesting toys to blog about in 2008. Unique and beautiful to some, questionable and controversial to others, in the US, Buddha’s Delight (and her little pet too) were just a blip on the toy culture radar. But overseas, Mi2 Studios ended the year with a solo show produced by Malaysian art project/community, Pipit. A whole bunch of photos were uploaded to the Pipit forums by Ivery. Here’s a Buddha’s Delight-heavy sampling, but check out the forum to see Space Hike and other figures from Mi2.
