I doubt I would be able to sleep with this in my collection. I'm legitimately afraid of it.

I love dark art like this. Dolls freak me out but I quite like to be freaked out.

I propose we get a new 'want' button to click. As in 'never want.' Would that be too offensive to the creators?

It's not that I endorse smoking per se, only I do endorse figures that don't get churned out of factories like Wal-Mart bags, like labbits and dunnies.

These are awesome. Anyone know the story behind these figures? I like the crown insignia and the exclamation mark.

It's a clock, fo' sho'. Same with the bookends. We really need to have some sort of restrictions on what can be added to the library.

If I owned this clock I would carry it around with me for 24 hours and stay awake through the night in order to see all the combinations of pictures. But just for the first day.

Tristan, what if you missed something?
-
-
13 years ago
The thought hadn't occurred to me, but it's totally possible. 3am to 6am would be a true test of willpower. I'd have to do something that keeps me awake, but not too interested, or I might miss a minute!
My consolation and growing regret is that I will never own this clock. -

Can't something be both a toy and a clock at the same time? This, however, is just a picture flipper. It doesn't have any toy qualities as far as I can see…

I don't see what the big deal is...I mean, Isn't this a site for "Art/Designer Toys"?
Art-The product or process of deliberately arranging items in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect.
Toy-A toy is any object that can be used for play. Toys are usually associated with children and pets. Playing with toys is training the young for their social role. Many items are designed to serve as toys, but goods produced for other purposes can also be used.
Please correct me if im wrong, but if I wanna play with a clock then it becomes a toy... -

Designer - A designer is an agent that "specifies the structural properties of a design object"
Art + Design + Toy = An object used for play, developed through specification of the structural properties arranged in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect.
A designer toy is created by a designer, developing a piece of art (not re-creating a piece from other properties) for the purposes of play.
Still, thats very broad and I wouldn't consider a clock a designer toy or even a toy. -

Are we not all adults here? This is an endless argument. Not everything can be categorized because of different opinions.

Why play the adult card? I was essentially agreeing with you. Categorisations are too broad for any definition.

-

There are lots of sites that are for general collecting but Rotocasted about having a place that is for cataloguing toys created for the purpose of art/design.
This is a clock, it may have a character on it but it isn't a toy. -

If you take this site that seriously, you need therapy...
-
-
13 years ago
? I am truly confused by this direction you (GencoFett) are taking with what is being discussed.
The discussion seems to be about what is a designer toy for categorisation purposes for the site. You are making your own valid claims but to turn around and say people need therapy because they are also adding their opinions is ludicrous. -

I find it amusing that people think that the site is in some sort of danger if someone post something that doesnt belong. It's gonna be users with attitudes that make the site take a turn for the worse. Items that don't belong can be deleted...
-
-

Its more of the general flood of recent entries that are on the edge of being okay. Then a line gets crossed with clock entries and people voice their opinions.

I understand that, but 3 clocks (1 of wich has been deleted) vs. 1300+ toys? Some people seriously need to chill. If Sergey doesn't want it on the site he'll get rid of it and I doubt that anyones opinion is gonna change that...
-
-
13 years ago
It seems that Sergey wants it to have as much community input as possible, that is how Web2.0 works. So having opinions on either side is needed.

When I added this clock I thought "why not?".... There is a bunch of other Yoshitomo Nara stuff up, including the candy container and seeing as how that also isn't considered a toy I again thought "why not?" It's not a big deal to me either way if this stays up or if it comes down, so whomever is a mod here can do what they do.
Also I want to make sure that everyone knows that I have a complete positive outlook on this site and I in no way want this post to seem like I am complaining at all.
Have a good day to everyone. = ) -

I assumed the clock got uploaded because Yoshitomo Nara is a beloved creator of awesome things. When I first saw the clock, my mouth fell open. I pass over more than half the toys on this site because I don't like them, but it's still a good place (and the only place I go) to see amazing things.

Seoop is an enthusiastic sushi chef, whose restaurant is located in a busy Australian subway station. His passionate nature often scares customers, but he always means well. When he's not slicing & dicing, Seoop is flying off with his trusty jetpack to retrieve exotic - & occasionally tasty - morsels for his restaurant’s kitchen.

Another Minitreehouse obstacle: Heenie Night Edition had defects that caused the arms to break, and a new run was never produced. Many were recalled, so the ones you can find for sale will break when you try to switch arms. Boo.

If fliphappy wasn't around to have a different opinion, things would be boring and I love him for that! (and so should everyone else) Even so, I also agree on this, I have been waiting for another figure from her for some time.
Also, some figures replicating the wood treatment (like that sweet bat by Gary Ham) are cool but I would prefer this toy in wood.
Its not a complicated form so why not get a developing nation to make them? You can spin that for sales, while helping people out! Now that would make an interesting continued release of this toy from Amanda rather than other objects it eats.

@ CoMus That's an idea. Jibibuts are said to be made from sustainably grown/harvested trees. Still, I don't know whether Noferin is using fair trade labor or what. Here's a cool place to buy fairly traded housewares and decor from all over the world, and as far as price goes, some of the items are cheap, while others I would compare to spending $40 on a 3-inch piece of vinyl. :)
