I've been won over by Rose Vampire. My favorite tough is still the original.

My taste in toys has really changed since I started collecting toys! I've been won over by a lot of Japanese stuff, a simpler designs, like Devilrobots.

@SillyK Thanks!!! D-LuX killed this piece...it really stands out in my collection that's for sure. He's done a few different rainbow styles but I think this is one of the few with 6 colors instead of 5.

@lordsketch It's amazing how much my taste in toys has evolved these past few years. I like figures now I never thought I would have just a short time ago. But that's what makes this hobby so fun.

@TheBlotSays-I agree,I think that's one of the things that makes this hobby (addiction?) so interesting.I'm gradually starting to appreciate this sort of figure :)

The pink Hot Cha Cha Cha is the nicest colourway, and he is kinda cute in an ugly way. A bit like a mutant Tiki...

tonight we have a Gary Baseman show opening here in Israel :) usually I get to envy San-Francisco/NY people for all their openings but tonight I have one myself.
it's his second time here. Guess he likes us :P

this was the first toy I ever got so I owe something to Gary for my wonderful collection, all of you beautiful people, and my lack of money ;-)

Why would you take an old male name like Jan and change it into female? Why? Why?
And what about Kim? Bo?
angel

sbb that's Spanish. They put their adjectives after their nouns, so they're a mess to begin with. We write out our dates, "December 25, 2011" so we abbreviate them the same, "12/25/11." The metric system is for losers too, and men named Jan are an abomination.

TPJ: Jan the woman's name is usually short for Janice or Janet, and pronounced with a soft G sound. Jan the man's named is pronounced like "yahn," so they're very different things.
angel

SillyK

the name "issue" and relation with the genders depends on the countries and even continents, you come from/ live in, combined with the main language of the nationalities.

i can see the confusion with the typical assigned gender of the name JAN as a female for english speaking nations due the different pronunciation.

but nobody in europe (perhaps english speaking countries excluded) for example would assume, that JAN is a females name, nor the short version of janet/janette or janice.
so, where i come from JAN is a complete name for a male and it would never be chosen for a female.
and i maybe even would say, that people from the UK are used to jan as a male as well, because it is a very common and often given name in the neighbor countries...

so, i stop this name analyzation now and let toys be our priority

They went on sale. They were 50 Euros, and they've sold out. But that translates to £42, so that's still far too steep for a 3'' figure, even if it is a gorgeous resin Jumping Brain...

£42 doesn't sound too bad for a handmade resin toy.Watch the YouTube video and see how much work goes into them!

But still, a lot of money for a toy :)

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…
SolidusFake

58 263 125

13 years ago

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...

CoMus

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.

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.

? 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...
angel

CoMus

171 468 619

13 years ago

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.
SolidusFake

58 263 125

13 years ago

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...
angel

CoMus

171 468 619

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.

LoneCub

13 years ago

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.

This is a rarity in the world of toys. A toy that doesn't represent an animal / human / "living" being (no facial features!), but a "dead" thing like a tree block.
I think I stumbled upon a mailbox in our library without facial features as well, but I'm not sure.
That's TWO toys out of 13624!!!
