Designer Toys

When I was a child I loved my toys. I would spend hours upon hours play­ing with them. I had all the quin­tes­sen­tial 80’s boys toys; Trans­form­ers, G.I. Joes, He-Man, Go-Bots, and Thun­der­cats. Each and every­one of them was great. They were all my favourites. Some­times all of them would inter­min­gle and team-up for all out bat­tles and some­times it would be a sin­gu­lar genre play time, des­ig­nated to the lim­its of their par­tic­u­lar car­toon realm.
Now that I am an adult I don’t play with toys. I col­lect them.

 

My inter­ests have moved away (mostly) from my 80’s cartoon/toy inter­ests and have refo­cused on “col­lectible stat­ues,” not toys. I Love that! Seman­tics! The toys that I have becom­ing pri­mar­ily fix­ated on are from a New York based com­pany called Kidro­bot. Kidro­bot is an awe­some com­pany with an awe­some con­cept. Essen­tially they make a blank vinyl shape and lets artists from around the world put the design onto them. Paul Bud­nitz one of the cre­ators of the com­pany related it to paint­ing on a can­vas, except that this can­vas is tex­tured and con­toured. I love it!

I love it in the same way I love graf­fiti, the mod­ern­iza­tion of art. Last year I went to the Museum of Mod­ern Art in NY and was delighted to find a cou­ple of these lit­tle Kidro­bot toys on dis­play. Cool huh?

Check­out their web­site kidrobot.com, it has some great stuff, not just to shop but sim­ply to view.

I could hon­estly write about these pretty obses­sions of mine all day long but will stop here and instead will show some pic­tures I took of my toys around my apartment.

Enjoy!!!
