Some Toy Fare for Toy Fair
February 17th, 2009
It’s Toy Fair week here in Manhattan and here’s my rallying cry for someone to pick up the mantle of producting Mad Men plastic crap. It’s a no-brainer, really, the hipster designers touting the show the loudest are the ones most likely to have 10 billion Kid Robot toys in their cubicles.
Minifigs, I believe, are technically the little people from Lego, but there’s a whole genre of blocky tiny toys (like Kubricks, Minimates, etc. ) many with a huge customizing communities. I don’t have the means or the wherewithal to make these a physical reality so I’m throwing it to those with the can-do know-how.
- I’d also add that if these were blind-boxed, the ultra-rare “mystery figure” would be Dale (not pictured).

Those are fabulous – I’d buy ‘em in a heartbeat!

Dear lord I NEED THEM NOW! HERE! ON MY DESK! I hate it when you’re right. (shakes head). Have I really become a hipster designer with the 10 billion kid robot toys in my cube (well, not kid robot, but My Little Ponies. Sorta close, right?)
This post just makes me sad that they’re not available for me to have and love and share with the world. (sniff)
