Share Your Toy-Joy, people!* [CLICK to read all]
From toy collector and photographer Sahril Dolaman AKA "Mr. Slopes" (IG @slopesurfer), we have the latest Top Ten to share! And it is a sweet one, indeed!
(#10) Smorkin’ Choice Cuts Labbit 2.5”
WHY: "The blue lines over the white base just works for this piece. I’ve also had eyes on the bigger one initially but pockets were not deep enough during the release. So to get this smaller version is a no brainer."
(#9) Wandering Misfits
WHY: "I’ve always wanted a Kathie Olivas piece and this particular one from the Wandering Misfits series is one of my favorite. It’s cute, has for legs and holds a lollypop. What’s not to like :)"
(#8) Penelope McStompsalot
WHY: "No need to mention who this piece is designed by. It’s very different from the usual 8” dunnys that were released. It opens up to reveal a smaller dunny inside. Insane!"
(#7) Coarse Omens
WHY: "These smaller sized owls by Coarse just speak for itself. Cute aren’t they? Now you can have an army of these without really breaking you wallet :)"
(#6) Dunny Mardivale series
WHY: "I’m a big Andrew Bell fan :)"
(#5) Mahakala Misfortune Cat
WHY: "I was floored after reading Andrew’s blog post on how he created the original Mahakala cat. When I found out that they are making a smaller sized production piece I was floored a second time. Then I got to know that Mike (Ozzo Collection) was bringing these in… floored!"
(#4) Oozebeet
WHY: "I’m also a big Scott Tolleson fan :)"
(#3) Kookie No Good
WHY: "STGCC Exclusive colorway! Definitely a must have. Sad toys makes me happy. I don’t know why."
(#2) APO Frog Oddly Merry
WHY: "I first learnt about this frog during STGCC 2014. Seen it in person and that was it. This is the 5th frog that I own."
(#1) ThreeA AP Adventure Kartel Series 1
WHY: "There were not many 1/12 releases by ThreeA in 2014 (I only collect 1/12 due to limited storage/display space). To finally have a big 14 figure boxset release was like an ‘I don’t know how to describe’ feeling. Opening them one after another… wahh ‘song’!! And yes... I bought the whole set :)"
