#TOYSREVILTop9for2021 (for 780+ to 940+ LIKES on Instagram)
WHAT-IS: After failing constantly on dedicated "Top/Best 9" apps, I had decided instead to manually look thru each+every image upload on my Instagram (for the year of 2021), and eyeballed the stats, screen-grabbed them, and formatted them into 9-grids ... and THESE ARE THE RESULTS, cheers.
In this blog-feature today for #TOYSREVILTop9for2021, I will be counting down images featuring 780+ to 940+ LIKES on Instagram! Happy New Year, people!
The first of two @foolsparadisetoys-listings on this Top Nine (with much more to be had in the entirety of #TOYSREVILTop9for2021) which showcases the popularity of the Hong Kong toy-brand's pop-culture appropriated mash-ups, which has evolved from Movies & Comicbooks, to Eastern films and Anime, with this two-figure Gundam+Zaku-inspired footballers from their "STEEL OF LEAGUE" line...! And these are HUGE too!
Found the above image from Facebook, and fits
perfectly right in my life right now, thanks!
Witness the "Masterpiece" production of "Gundam"-themed helms by Thailand-based prop maker @poot__prop (Above), whose work I've shared before on TOYSREVIL with FACEMASKS & similarly themed COLLECTIBLES. Check in with him for availability, cheers.
Japanese illustrator cum prolific toy-designer known as "GRAPE BRAIN" blasts thru 2021 with his GVX-collaborations with artists, group customs shows featuring his toy-character creations (including GVX in NYC), and as well a brand new character figure in the form of the "mysterious woman who exists in rumors" "GERA GERA" vinyl figure made with Unbox Industries (GRAPEBRAIN's first collectible figure not self-produced by himself)!

The above IG-upload for DRUNK FROG IN BEAR SUIT (circa 2007) was apart of my LOONA vs DESIGNER TOY serial feature on TOYSREVIL (also on TUNESTALKSG), specifically for YEOJIN FOR LOONA VS DESIGNER TOYS!
A fab blast-from-the-toy-past, this @tnes1-created character is currently being developed digitally and poised tio enter the NFT-space! Stay connected to his very own Insta at @drunkfroginbearsuit.
Evoking "Total Recall" (the 1990-version starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and not the Colin Farrell-starring 2012 remake, thanks) and appropriating Super Mario Bros, SUPER RECALL FROM FOOLS PARADISE no doubt scored recognition from the cinephiles, and collectors of Folks Paradise collectibles.
After SOLD OUT pre-orders based off a digital render, the in-hand reveal of SHINIGAMI THE AWAKENING resin toy figure from toy-superstar @iamwetworks X @clogtwo certainly has it's fair share of attention and LIKES, no doubt diluted by the reveal first on The Wetworks Complex (Facebook Private Group)...!
A shark in a astronaut suit? I cannot get enough of this! Seen above is the "Candy Planet" Version of SPACE PILOT TAN TAN from @kuchuarttoys X @merrygoroundfamily, in what would be one my my new WANTS in 2022...! CLICK HERE for continued SPACE PILOT TAN TAN on TOYSREVIL! Also note that this is NOT the only colorway of the figure on my TOP NINE of 2021... :)
Are you ready for some BEARPLAY? Underverse unleashes their "Isobelle Pascha" femme figure in a bear suit, amongst other releases for "THE NEW JOURNEY" Mini Exhibition (from Oct 1st), in Beijing, China. Stay connected to Insta @underversehq for continued toy-goodness into 2022...!
