Vive le Plastic!
"Designer toys are serious works of art; they are also plastic, mass-produced products that sit on store sheves. Adults put them behind glass while kids play with them. Product, logo, and design are art. They're all one.
What I love (about designer toys) is the anarchic spirit of joy and freedom they still represent. The designer toy movement thrives without any serious curators, without important gallery owners, and without grim-faced or sunglass-wearing arbiters of style who decide what is good and what is bad, what is important and what is trash."

This website is a summary, pictoral presentation of our personal vinyl (and a few non-vinyl) collectible toy art. These collectibles include Android Mini Collectibles (Dead Zebra), Dunnys (Kidrobot), Bots (Kidrobot), additional vinyl toy art from artists like Jesse Hernandez, Doktor A, and Joe Ledbetter, and customized toy art collectibles in different form factors.
The top or main menu takes you to straight-forward photographic galleries of the android, dunny, other Kidrobot, and custom collectibles. This is a drop-down menu with more specific links to specific groups (years, special themes, etc.) of collectibles within the larger grouping. When viewing specific groups of dunnys, there is a hover link image at the top of the page that will take you to a checklist page of the dunnys contained in that particular group.
The bottom collage menu contains links to some individual artists, additional figurines, and some limited edition or orginal art. The currently featued artist in this menu is Jesse Hernandez.
In the right column, you will find find a number of links to communities and resources in the world of vinyl art collectibles. If Android Mini Collectibles interest you, I would suggest a vist to the DeadZebra website for a thorough briefing on this art format. For those whose interest may focus on or extend to the dunny universe, I would suggest a visit to the KidRobot website (and forum). Trampt is a great platform for contemporary artists who, among other things, create custom and designer toys. Also, Allvinys is an excellent vinyl toy encyclopedia.
If you are here, look around a bit. You may find something of interest and pleasure in vinyl toy art.
The Molecular structure diagram link remains for your return.
