The following are Winston's TOP TOYS OF 2025, presented here in no specific preference, cheers. Scroll to the bottom for a lil'Q&A with Winston about his toylife! (View higher-res images what has been posted here on @winzleong)
#01: Shin Machinesider by RealxHead x Cord Viper
WINSTON LEONG: It's actually really rare and difficult to win an online lottery for anything Real Head so I had to commemorate this! Also, loving the sculpt and the colorway!
#02: Punk Drunkers Astroboy
WINSTON LEONG: The last item I got in 2025 and it's great! Another addition to my mini collection of Astroboys!
#03: Little Peace from Kila Cheung
WINSTON LEONG: Missed the first version (white) of this figure and was elated to be able to get this at Amazing Toy Show! Love how it juxtaposes good and evil! And this colourway grew on me (was a little against it at the beginning)
#04: Freak Babi from Mutant Vinyl Hardcore x Abao x Unbox Industries
WINSTON LEONG: My favourite colorway of this figure so far. It is really a great mashup of all the parties involved!
#05: Makalele by Rumbbell X Duckhead
WINSTON LEONG: The custom paintwork on this is amazing! Again another combination that showcases both artist's styles!
#06: 両さん自転車RC
WINSTON LEONG: Stumbled upon this at a JB flea market and bought it straight away (less the Remote control) and had to get another set with it just to have a go at playing with it! Was totally FUN!
#07: 天狗小僧 小坊 by Grapebrain
WINSTON LEONG: Having been collecting Grapebrain toys for a while now and am always glad to have new characters he comes up with. Have always loved figures based off myths and legends and this fits right in!
#08: Icon Vinyl by Kasing Lung
WINSTON LEONG: Am glad to have been able to attend his 10th anniversary shows at Taipei and Hong Kong and even more elated to have this figure with a new pose to commemorate it!
#09: Anousagi キョンシー from Sugahara Yuta X Toy People
WINSTON LEONG: What's not to love about rabbits and jiang-shis? A little bit of cute mixed with a little bit of evil!
#10: Bärlicious by Coarse
WINSTON LEONG: Bears on desserts! Yummy!
TOYSREVIL: How have your collecting habits or focus changed, since you first begun? How did you begin?
WINSTON LEONG: In terms of collecting toys, as it has been more than 10 years, I have learnt to be more selective but at the same time, also expanding the collection and not limiting it to just toys but more skewed to the arts side (sculptures, paintings, etc). For me, it has always been about what's my aesthetics and how will what I buy work together when displayed. It has sort of become my identity and I will keep at it as long as i can still afford it.

WINSTON LEONG: I first started collecting toys through a friend's birthday gift of Yujin Tofu Oyako Gashapons and I instantly fell in love with designer toys! Subsequently, joining my first TTF got me more into it and also introduced me to other designers and I have never stopped since.
