There's much more love in Lego minifigs than in these chunks of merchandise plastic. -

Sweet, loved watching the doco when it came out and anticipating the second one. I guess I will have to grab this dude while I wait!
I really wish the bat said "Beat the brat" rather than toypunks (which is already on the back of his jacket) -

This is very different from what I had expected. Toy is bigger than I imagined and the weight of it is....well, light! Thought it would have a massive weight, but no. It doesn't really matters with the weight issue at all, this toy IS a killer. You can twist his head, arms, hands, and shoes around, and that's a BIG PLUS! Always loved toys that are articulated, so you can change the expression on the figure. It's one of my favorite things, posing a toy making it look like I feel it should. (Toy nerd over and out!)
Oops, not! - I simply love the middle finger! -

I like this but I really wish people didn't upload renders.
-
14 years ago
I totally agree on renders, but as there are no other pics available, let's just see it as a temporary solution.
I like this figure and I thought it deserves some visibility.
they are using those renders for pre-order, so when real photos will become available, the toy could be sold out. -

I really don't see this as a place for Lego. I mean, I'm not hating on it, but I think it's bad enough that so many things that don't conform to the 'designer toy' genre have already been uploaded.

I love them too - particularly this zombie.. Found one recently too: http://plasticplanet.co.za/?p... .
I think this series particualr kindof has a place here, due to it's blind packaging and collectability - but it is the slippery slope into all the starwars lego... which would lead to starwars figs... etc... etc..
Have you seen the Robot yet? - he's my fave! -

If you allow Kubricks but not Legos then you're excluding toys based on their manufacturer instead of what they actually are.

Playmobil is also going to release blind-packaged toys. And does this mean that Minimates count too?
I LOVE Legos, but I always saw this as a place for toys done as ART rather than product. -

Until someone can provide a useful definition of what a designer toy is exactly, I can't see a basis for excluding any toys that have been designed (which pretty much includes every single toy that can be bought for money) and even though I don't really like the look of these particular lego figures, some legos are amazingly aesthetic and cool. Had a combination of lego and star wars figures showed up as a custom or on Kidrobot before Lego made them (or even if Lego first made them for Kidrobot) I don't think there would have been any doubt that they belong here.
Also, hasn't something made specifically for collecting/display seized in being a toy? -

Sorry for keeping silence for some time, guys.
Appearing of the Action figures, Legos and Ugly Art dolls at Roto doesn't mean we've lost our focus and aiming for every toy collectibles possible. As I said before, I'd like to split our database later this year and move character toys, action figures and 1/6s (threeA included) to another domain where you can keep track of your non-designer toys collections. Until then, please, don't fight :) -

@fliphappy I totally see your point that this is more a place for mass market or artistic intent, the old toys vs art debate!
I have to admit I HATE mass produced pieces and to be honest Dunnys (and many more 'designer' toys) are far too mass produced and mass marketed for my tastes.
I guess the real question is whether this site is catered towards toys or art piece. If a piece is for displayng and not playing with (which most of my own stuff is), is it a toy or art?!
More importantly, does anybody care? :) -
-
14 years ago
I really wish I remembered the pages where we have had long conversations about "what is a designer toy"! As by now, I beleive we would have compiled enough opinions to make a valid answer.
I agree with fliphappy - "designed with message and artistic intent in mind"
I initially said "they are designed to be collectable toys for display purposes" yet they are not intended as specially designed artistic LEGO pieces, if they were, that would rock more.
Saying that, Lego is one of the most designed toys in the world. The amount of design stages between initial concept to production is insane!
To make people understand the intent of a designer toy and what they are, I mention that they are like "modern day porcelain statues"
Yet everything has a designer behind it, EVERYTHING in the world. What sets "designer toys" from toys that have been "designed" ?!
I think all you need in a "check list" is this =
1 - Is the designers name of the toy known?
Any company releasing a piece without mention the designers name, isn't intending to release that piece as a "designer toy".
They may be cashing in on it being a "designer toy" but it truly isn't a designer toy with the artistic intent behind the piece. -

Some qees and be@rbricks haven't got a designer named but they've got a cool or fun design and I think that's what it's all about.

Also, a lot of mass market toys are based on an original design by a known artist, for instance anime action figures. Sure it wasn't the original artist who turned his/her drawings into a toy design, but the same applies to, for instance the Heroes of Burgertown. Jon Burgerman only drew some original concepts (I'd assume) and then some one who's good at the technical aspects of designing turned them into toys.
Personally I think the best approach is to provide the users with tools to exclude and include toys in what they can see on the site based on their personal definition, but allow pretty much anything to be added. Take it in to the house, but put it in the darkest corner of a cupboard.
Like comus said, everything has had one or more designers (except for things in nature). -

I find it surprising that many pieces are so cheap (in the general community) compared to the hours and materials put into their pieces.

Here here. surprisingly the hand made / small run ones are cheaper than the more mass produced big business ones. Perhaps the artists under value their work or they just ask for what it actually costs, cutting out the middle men? personally i dont mind, my preference is always to buy direct from the artist if possible.

For me personally, I hate to have stuff hanging around. I make so many pieces that unless I price them well I'd run out of storage space.
I don't even want to think about the time factor and how little I'm getting per hour! -

I wouldn't call Cris Rose's toys expensive either. When you consider the cost of materials, and the time and effort that goes into them, Bargain! The fact they all sell out in minutes backs that up. Plus the designs are often far better than most production toys.
