TOYSREVIL's Sunday Toys & Design Feature (April 13 Edition)
There are essentially two ways to enjoy a toyful Sunday, at least in my book: (1) visit the weekly Sunday Flea Market at China Square Central, and (2) Gawk at images online for toys I have no information for … which I now present to you, my gentle readers, as a weekly-weekend blog-feature! Marvel at the yummy pics with basic to zero-information LOL
Credits Due: Jeremy Brautman used to do a feature like this on jeremyriad.com, before he 'up-n-left' and co-authored the new upcoming book "Art Toy 2.0", so my tip of the hat to his forward-thinkingness :)
Above-Left+Right: "The Simpsons LEGO mini figures" is available NOW in the United States (specifically Kansas) and Greg Merreighn has them in-hand! (Top pic via too) Last reported for a May-release … this'll surely wake up my toy-desires! #OMGMGOMG
