Designer Toy

CollectionDX defines a Designer Toy as any toy that was designed as an art piece first, and a toy second. These toys are made for display more than play. Toys commonly known as Art Toys, Urban Vinyl, Boutique Toys, etc.. fall into this category.

Review: "Emperor" Bechigon and Larvagon by Velocitron

Happy Halloween! My contribution to this fine holiday is a review of a decidedly creepy pair of designer vinyls...


Review: Mutant Zone 1 Chaos "Family"

A long review just in time for Halloween of some scary figures: the various mutations of Chaos, the most popular and iconic Real x Head character, and the last of my Mutant Zone I reviews.


Review: Mutant Zone 1 Mutant Bigaro (Custom)

We're here to discuss the sculpt, but the figure is also one of my first Real x Head customs, in tribute to Tetsujin 28! The third of the original Mutant Zone characters.


Review: Mutant Zone 1 Real x Head Mutant Evil (Beige blank)

The second of my Real x Head series, Mutant Evil. Despite the name, he's on our side!


Review: Mutant Zone 1 Real x Head Mutant Head (Orange Booska)

The first of my series on Real x Head, documenting each sculpt. Neo-kaiju just in time for Halloween! I'm going to do the first three Mutant Zone characters this week, and then Chaos on Halloween.


Review: Diablo the Satanic Chicken

With a name like that how could I NOT buy it?


Review: Molly

Molly comes from the anime "Oban Star Racers", a joint collaboration between a Japanese and French anime studio. The series centers around a competition called the Great Race of Oban, an intergalactic series of races.


Review: Mallow DIY (Black)

When I was approached to review this Mallow figure, I had expected the worst. Imagine my surprise. Something really wonderful happened.


Review: V.I.N.CENT (SDCC 2009 Distressed Edition)

If your only making 300 pieces of a collectible, is it really asking to much to not get a screwed up one?


Review: Glyos System Series Gobon

Gobon is actually the creation of Matt's wife, Michelle Doughty, who is also an excellent and talented artist in her own right. The character first appeared in issue 2 of Michelle's comic, Sidrick.


Review: Bootleg The Creature Super-Glo Edition

War is still Hell! But now, you can have fun with it in the dark!


Review: Bootleg The Creature

War is Hell!


Review: Ghost Land Dokuwashi - SDCC 2008

According the the flyer that comes with the Ghost Land trading figures, Dokuwashi is "is the door that all spirits must pass through to enter Ghost Land".


Review: Mighty Muggs Darth Vader

Who wouldn’t love a cute and cuddly Dark Lord of the Sith? I know I couldn’t resist him when I saw it on the shelf at my local Wally Word, err … I mean Wal-Mart. Seriously, when I saw that not only was there a cute and cuddly Darth Vader in Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs line but that it had a removable helmet and old Anakin’s face underneath - I had to have it.


Review: Zagoran (Glow) SDCC 08 Exclusive

So, this is my first Zag. I got it because I really just wanted the guys at Gargamel to have one of MY toys, and this one looked appropriate. But damn, it's very cool. THIS is my kind of Zag.
