We like when designs transcend our little art toy niche. With the blue and clear colorways of Super7’s Gorilla Biscuit figure, we had people visiting ToyCyte who didn’t know (or care) about “designer vinyl.” Perhaps they’ll come back for a bite of this banana. Following the lightning fast disappearance of the First Pressing, the Second [...]

After another full day of WonderCon, I popped over to see Itokin Park’s opening at Super7. I have met a lot of international artists working in the video game and anime industries, and I found Kazuhiko to be one the most humble artists I have ever met. I hope that his future is bright here [...]

Wondercon isn't about toys; it's about comics: superheroes, Star Wars, cosplayers and comics. Semantics aside, Comic-Con has more toys. That said, we scoured Wondercon in San Francisco's Moscone Center for several hours seeking out the toys. We were happily surprised by who and what we found. Read on for vinyl, plush, plastic and resin--from prototypes without websites all the way to finished convention exclusives.
