ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

It’s over. Disney has fully embraced the idea of the custom designer toy, and their mighty fists shall pound the idea into the masses, and their trumpeting, well-paid angels will send out a clarion call, mixing culture and subculture forevermore. The Experiment 626 Project Custom Art Show launched in Hong Kong this past Friday, November 28th. Wizards of Waverly Place Qees soon to follow, and subsequently, the end of the world.

The blank form in question : Mindstyle’s blank 8″ Stitch, from the movie ‘Lilo and Stitch’. Images are trickling in from the other side of the planet, including graphicairlines’ ghost-faced, worm-eared Stitch (via Flickr). The show will be traveling across the world throughout 2009, accumulating more and more artworks, and eventually wrapping up in Hawaii.

Also, check out Yuen Kee’s crazy colorsplosion of a Stitch, who is absolutely tickled to meet you. It’ll be exciting to see more and more pieces as they trickle in over the year, and here’s hoping that the Stitch army makes a stop in New York sometime soon.
