New Gas Mask Figures From Instinct Toy
A pretty exciting find on the Internet for an otherwise unremarkable Thursday morning: Instinct Toy just posted pictures of their series of new gas mask figures here. What lacks in Google translation is certainly made up for in gloriously detailed full turnarounds. Each figure appears to be a tribute to or revision on a previously released figure from another company--notably Bounty Hunter.

Thursday, September 25, 2008
A recent message board post by David Horvath seems to have thrown a bit of confusion in the air regarding the future of designer toys. David posted “…we can’t continue ‘designer toy’ projects unless the producers get each item, and each colorway of each item, safety tested and certified. It’s our own new personal policy.” Kidrobot [...]

Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Amy from Lulubell Toy Bodega just sent over a sneak peak of their colorway of Frank Kozik’s Ludwig Van: A Clockwork Beethoven bust. While some cleverly viral t-shirts are proclaiming that “Obama is the new black,” you could make the same claim for this figure. Lulubell is the exclusive retailer of the prized black (absence [...]

Kaching Brands “The Good Life” company is finding their inner child.

Monday, July 28, 2008
First off, I should let you know, I hate the Residents. There isn’t much music that I can equate with nails on achalk board, but this band makes my skin crawl. Perhaps you are a Residents fan? Well, I’m sorry. But your band sucks. I should also mention that the love of my life, the [...]

On our ToyCyte forum, Steve Talkowski announced he was working on his first vinyl toy, Sketchbot. He posted a few prototype sketches on his blog, and he recently started the sculpting process. In Phase One of the process, he made a 3D sculpt out of wires and aluminum foil. It’s amazing that he has not [...]

Friday, June 20, 2008
I’m a big fan of functional vinyl toys. If it has an extra purpose, it makes me feel less guilty about spending money. That’s why I love this new vinyl figure from Nooka, a watch company. As their official mascot, Nookanooka is a vinyl toy that doubles as a watch holder. Since I’m always [...]

Thursday, June 19, 2008
I don’t remember where I first saw Angry Woebots, but I remember liking his work as soon as I saw it. We’re all used to pandas being cuddly and cute. His version of ferocious pandas really appealed to me. Since then I’ve seen his name pop up all over the place. There is a nice [...]

Tuesday, May 20, 2008
Living Dead Dolls by Mezco Toyz take the prize as the creepiest collectibles ever. I love horror movies, but I’m scared of these vinyl figures. I thought Series 15 was creepy, but the upcoming series 16 takes it to another level. If you watch enough horror films, you know that kids can be scary characters. [...]
