Wednesday, April 25, 2007 It starts with one and the next thing you know you find yourself dragging your friends into toy stores everywhere. It is so hard to resist these little figures. I just got two new Kid Robot Dunnys and a Tokidoki Cactus Friend. So I may not be bringing home many plastic bags, but now all the plastic is in the form of vinyl toys. At least they don't get thrown out. I take some comfort in knowing I am not the only one... I found three books on the subject at Amazon. I Am Plastic: The Designer Toy Explosion Vinyl Will Kill: An Inside Look At The Designer Toy Phenomenon Full Vinyl: The Subversive Art of Designer Toys Labels: book, toy posted on 4/25/2007 :: link ............................................................................................ 11 Comments: OOoh I LOVE the cactus friend! (and it looks like Stewie does too) By  Michele, at 26/4/07 12:38 AM A "Dunny" in Australia is a toilet! By  Anonymous, at 26/4/07 6:11 AM Aren't they great? I've always been a huge fan of Kidrobot. I painted one of those Munny's a while back for my boyfriend. (http://flanthrower.blogspot.com/2007/02/walkin-in-memphis.html) It was so much fun! I like Stewie's paws in the background. By  flanthrower, at 26/4/07 9:30 AM I like that cactus friend. Do you have any of the Tokidoki milk toys? I soooooo want one of those. By  Yvett, at 26/4/07 11:24 AM They look like fun I have never seen them before. By  Kristi, at 26/4/07 11:59 AM Have you seen the TokiDoki bags that LeSportSac is putting out? I have two from last season's line, the forest pattern (very green, tons of fun characters), including my diaper bag!!! :) I think I am going to get a purse from this season too ... pirate pattern. Arrrrrr ... http://www.lesportsac.com/external/tokidoki/tokidoki_spring.html By  Jesser, at 26/4/07 12:32 PM Jesser - I stood at an Urban Outfitters in Las Vegas staring at one heaven Tokidoki LeSportSac bag and one hell version for a long,long time. I was torn because the heaven one was white and would get dirty, but the black hell one had little demons all over it... seemed too sinister. I am a dork. By  ljc, at 26/4/07 1:42 PM I love the cactus guy! Thanks for posting these findings because I'm starting to get addicted to little vinyl creatures too. By  erika, at 26/4/07 8:11 PM those are beyond cute! i also wanted to let you know you mentioned the personalized google and the google themes. Well they have finally changed the seasonal theme from wintery snowmen to springy frogs and outdoor animals By  Treadmill Knitter, at 27/4/07 3:04 AM Ooh. I've been resisting the urge to shop at Kidrobot for a while. It looks addictive. By  from away, at 27/4/07 8:31 AM Awe! Mister kitty sure likes Bastardino!
