ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

I don’t buy a lot of 8-inch vinyl. Price and space are always considerations when one is attempting to make a living in toy journalism. That said, I will throw down the Benjamins for these 8-inch enlargements of Easy Hey’s Artoyz Elements. I love the concept and sculpting of the mini-figures, and based on these proto-pics from Delkographik’s Flickr, their big brothers are on point.

Artoyz also just launched a mini-site for the Elements. If there’s just one blind-box group series of mini-figures you get this year, you’d do well to get the Artoyz Elements Alpha Series. My case yielded every single standard figure, one rare figure, one chase figure and 5 doubles.
