I called the owner of Toykyo today. They recently told me that they have collectors who purchase every sculpture they make. So i guess they get contacted first. The previous birds were for sale at Toykyo for +-$500 each, Colette sold them for +-$1080 :-s and they were gone in no time. The new birds are $400 each + shipping.
Let me know if you want to buy one, i can call right away. -

Vera, listen, please...I don't have an issue about other people's semi-personal comments. I love them! Sil and I did that, but some people were annoyed. As far as I see it, it makes Roto alive. It's not like the clever comments are standing in queue!!!! Mostly it's just ; "I love this..blah blah".... But the moment people are getting personal, it's all : GET A ROOM! . Roto was meant to connect people, right?
Maybe in the near future Sergey will add a chat room????????? -

12 years ago
actually, I am terribly unlucky with shoes :-( I have tiny feet indeed, but not enough tiny for those beautiful red shoes... I just bought them online and unfortunately they are too small. I love them a lot, so they might end up as... display shoes, haha. lesson learnt: never buy shoes online, buy only toys :-)

@ penguin: i gotta agree, it looks bigger than i expected as well, but as vera said, she has tiny feet, hence the shoes are tiny, too ;)
@vera: may i ask for your shoe size? your feet might look like baby ones next to a 10 1/5 - 11
and can't you exchange those ones for a size bigger or was that an ebay auction and not an online store??? -
12 years ago
I wear size 36 (european) and yes, it was an eBay auction, no bigger sizes available.
the bird is a bit bigger than I expected too, but well, shoes are small :-D

This is very different from what I had expected. Toy is bigger than I imagined and the weight of it is....well, light! Thought it would have a massive weight, but no. It doesn't really matters with the weight issue at all, this toy IS a killer. You can twist his head, arms, hands, and shoes around, and that's a BIG PLUS! Always loved toys that are articulated, so you can change the expression on the figure. It's one of my favorite things, posing a toy making it look like I feel it should. (Toy nerd over and out!)
Oops, not! - I simply love the middle finger! -

I love them too - particularly this zombie.. Found one recently too: http://plasticplanet.co.za/?p... .
I think this series particualr kindof has a place here, due to it's blind packaging and collectability - but it is the slippery slope into all the starwars lego... which would lead to starwars figs... etc... etc..
Have you seen the Robot yet? - he's my fave! -

Until someone can provide a useful definition of what a designer toy is exactly, I can't see a basis for excluding any toys that have been designed (which pretty much includes every single toy that can be bought for money) and even though I don't really like the look of these particular lego figures, some legos are amazingly aesthetic and cool. Had a combination of lego and star wars figures showed up as a custom or on Kidrobot before Lego made them (or even if Lego first made them for Kidrobot) I don't think there would have been any doubt that they belong here.
Also, hasn't something made specifically for collecting/display seized in being a toy? -

Sorry for keeping silence for some time, guys.
Appearing of the Action figures, Legos and Ugly Art dolls at Roto doesn't mean we've lost our focus and aiming for every toy collectibles possible. As I said before, I'd like to split our database later this year and move character toys, action figures and 1/6s (threeA included) to another domain where you can keep track of your non-designer toys collections. Until then, please, don't fight :) -

@fliphappy I totally see your point that this is more a place for mass market or artistic intent, the old toys vs art debate!
I have to admit I HATE mass produced pieces and to be honest Dunnys (and many more 'designer' toys) are far too mass produced and mass marketed for my tastes.
I guess the real question is whether this site is catered towards toys or art piece. If a piece is for displayng and not playing with (which most of my own stuff is), is it a toy or art?!
More importantly, does anybody care? :) -
-
13 years ago
I really wish I remembered the pages where we have had long conversations about "what is a designer toy"! As by now, I beleive we would have compiled enough opinions to make a valid answer.
I agree with fliphappy - "designed with message and artistic intent in mind"
I initially said "they are designed to be collectable toys for display purposes" yet they are not intended as specially designed artistic LEGO pieces, if they were, that would rock more.
Saying that, Lego is one of the most designed toys in the world. The amount of design stages between initial concept to production is insane!
To make people understand the intent of a designer toy and what they are, I mention that they are like "modern day porcelain statues"
Yet everything has a designer behind it, EVERYTHING in the world. What sets "designer toys" from toys that have been "designed" ?!
I think all you need in a "check list" is this =
1 - Is the designers name of the toy known?
Any company releasing a piece without mention the designers name, isn't intending to release that piece as a "designer toy".
They may be cashing in on it being a "designer toy" but it truly isn't a designer toy with the artistic intent behind the piece. -

Some qees and be@rbricks haven't got a designer named but they've got a cool or fun design and I think that's what it's all about.

Also, a lot of mass market toys are based on an original design by a known artist, for instance anime action figures. Sure it wasn't the original artist who turned his/her drawings into a toy design, but the same applies to, for instance the Heroes of Burgertown. Jon Burgerman only drew some original concepts (I'd assume) and then some one who's good at the technical aspects of designing turned them into toys.
Personally I think the best approach is to provide the users with tools to exclude and include toys in what they can see on the site based on their personal definition, but allow pretty much anything to be added. Take it in to the house, but put it in the darkest corner of a cupboard.
Like comus said, everything has had one or more designers (except for things in nature). -
