Waiting On A Toy

DISCLAIMER: This post is not necessarily meant to be a teaser-post, but the sudden sheer excitement of receiving a huge box of toy, is actually heightened this sunny Tuesday morning.And by-the-mother-of-toygods, this is a HUGE box! Or as Thiago Correia Carneiro from Rio had mentioned on my Facebook: "this is like sex in a box!" - and honey, I is horny like a toy-bastich! … Although I am actually

Living The 1/6-World: Headsculpts (New works from HeadPlay)

What is it about the 1/6-hobby that entrails us? The miniature clothing? The fantastic micro-weapons? The ability to hold a plastic-man's "toy-life" in the palm of your hands? Regardless the reasons and motivation, one thing seems extremely important in this age (beyond the hobbyists and perhaps grabbing at non-traditional hobbyists, and dragging lulling them into the hobby while you're at it),

BLIND BOXED: TOYSREVIL's Blind-Box Experience

>Jeremy Brautman from Toycyte asked me for an opinion on "Blind Boxes" - for an investigative series where he spoke to Toy Companies, Fans & Collectors, Toy Stores, Creators & Artists themselves, and rounding off with a buncha us Toy Bloggers :)And before I realized it, I had spewed forth a ridiculously long (semi-incoherent-ish) entry. Now, I wasn't going to subject Jeremy to editing my
