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.
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.
lol...LoneCub has 200+ figures in his collection and you guys want to crucify the guy for wanting to share the existance of his clock?...You're probably a fan of the Jersey Shore, huh?
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...
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...
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
