Is this thing really belong here?... it look more like a regular toy then a designer toy.
This is one step from posting MacDonald happy meal toys. -

Well its the yellow submarine from the Beatles song right? Perhaps its artistic origins give it some right to be here? I wouldn't add it to my collection, but I'm not a Beatles fan. Though the quality doesn't look that great from this photo..*shrug* I think it -may- be questionable, but not one step away from McDonald's toys.

I'm not a huge fan but I know the history of the band and it's designs, but still I think it's a wind-up music memorabilia toy more then a designer toy.
The porpoise of this toy (as it seems) is to be play with and not to be "admired" as a piece of art, I think it's plastic not vinyl and the quality (again as it seems) is not high and more fit to a child mess produced "made in China" toy. -

There was bunch of mainstream toys added recently.
Most of them are not fit into designer vinyl genre, but most of them are amazing pieces aesthetically.
I changed the type to Character toy — http://rotocasted.com/library... />I think it's good to have it here. -

OK you're the boss :+)
I just hope it wont be a precedent for thing to come (Mac's like I've mentioned) or maybe toys are toys?... gray area here we come. -

There are lots of action figures on here that's for sure, especially Japanese mass produced toys. its not a "designer toy" just because it's not in the mainstream stores where you live

Are there any guidelines on what toys you want and what toys you don't want here? I have a lot of toys that are lovely, but don't fall within the category of designer vinyl and I'm not sure if I should add them or not.

@larzor: No not yet. At this moment we're adding everything that people would collect with their vinyl. Some time in 2011 we will split the website to several directories.

I used to have the original version of this when i was a child.It was made from die-cast metal, wasn't a wind up but a push a long toy.
The periscopes revolved when you pushed it along, and two hatches could open up with the Beatles popping their heads up :)
Thanks Sergey for the info on Heinz Edelmann, I didnt know his history, very interesting! :) -

I'm pretty sure this character was actually called Pon de Lion and the actual doughnut it was a character for was the Pon de Ring. A quick google image search using google.co.jp will bear this out.

Yep, it is Pon de Lion. That's what comes from uploading too many toys at once! Thanks.

How about photos of each toy individually?

I could do that. But I had this group photo sitting around, so i thought I'd start by adding that so at least there's something up here for Parappa toys. Separate photos would mean doing some dedicated shooting, and I will... when i get time to dig the pieces out of their boxes.

counter on homepage says 10012 (11:55GMT 3rd Dec 2010) so if I count back from the latest toy, this might be #9999? Will let the boss figure it out :P

We had a couple of dupes in the way and the edge is blurred between this, monstrooper and kikaida.
I think http://rotocasted.com/toy/10910/ posted by @amavevera is #10 000, but @rtysmith made a fantastic push yesterday. -
-

We'll, we could keep going backwards by finding dups, I'm sure there is more in the system, this was the official # 10,000 yesterday

This one had battle damage,sadly used to play marbles by my younger cousin a few years ago. :(
These were all blind box, I have a whole bunch that are still sealed and will open for more pictures.
At the time I had not watched gundam or knew much about it! All I knew was I really wanted the animal releases :D so kept on buying :P This was the from the first series (or may have been the second)

Where is the line to classify it a "designer toy"? For example, I wouldn't consider any of the revoltech line "designer" toys.
This toy still freaks me out... the proportions are not fun, they scare me -

Revoltech should go with action figs as well, I think.

Yeah I have a bunch of gashapon/anime trading figures I would happily add but don't know if they would be acceptable either.

Haha ! I was sure of that ! But not at all : the color is not the same (this one is "beige", the other one is "yellow", even if the photo doesn't really show it - this one is clearer in reality).

Yes, but I've already seen another photo (on mintyfresh.com, long time ago) where it was more grey and almost green than it seems to be here. This toy is called "beige" and that's true ; this photo doesn't do it justice at all. But this is the only one I found (on atomplastic.com), sorry !
