Tarnished Daydreams Feature: Steam Locomotive Perambulator by Doktor A

TOYSREVIL: A customized toy-set featuring your own toys, is a brilliant move. How do you feel about production toys in general? And seeing Doktor A designs made into production pieces?

DOKTOR A: "I love making production toys. I would rather make just one off art pieces which are all new constructions or sculpts and production toys, than do toy customs. Making toys takes a very long time though. Its a slow and sometimes painful process to get right."


DOKTOR A: "This set seemed like such an obvious idea to do that I had to make it. In general I don't feel the need to customise my own toys. I have them just exactly as I want them in their original state.."



PRODUCT-DETAILS: "Steam Locomotive Perambulator" is a two-piece combination of Mechtorian toys by Mindstyle. In total, the figure set stands 11" tall, and is made from Vinyl, Lead, ABS, Paper, Brass, Copper, Rubber, Steel, Wood' Bamboo, and Found Objects. Steam Locomotive Perambulator is listed as SOLD.

WHO: One of Stephan LePodd's adventuring machines. Over the years Stephan has commissioned various vehicles and contraptions to aid his speculative travels around the planet. From flying platforms to burrowing torpedoes. This slightly egotistical creation is mostly used around the city on high days and holidays.
