I have been thinking about this long and hard and I have decided that as my interests change and I gadget related news has become slightly stale that I will add a new aspect to my blog. From here on out I will cover Vinyl/Designer Toys in my blog in addition to the tech and gadget related news I have already been covering. To get this started off I will direct you to my Toy Gallery located in the photos tab above. Most of the pictures are items from my collection with a few random pictures as well.
Some of you that read this might be scratching your head thinking, "well these are just toys, what is so special?" Well Designer toys are toys that are generally created by an artist and/or painted by an artist. Many of the toys are "platform toys" which means that its one general toy design that many artists paint or use any variety of mediums to translate into their own work of art. You might be familiar with some of the more famous designer toys out there like Qees from Toy2r, Dunnys from KidRobot or Be@rbricks from Medicom. Beyond the more famous brands there are many small companies or independent people making toys that are completely amazing and deserve recognition(although their sales prove how sought after they are).
To make this transition easier to you the readers I will be adding special icons/tags to distinguish a toy post from a tech post, I will post what these look like very soon.
Update: I have added pictures for the tags to reduce any confusion and to easily identify what the post is about. You will notice in the upper right hand corner there are 2 icons. One icon for posts tagged with the word Toy and pretaining to anything related to designer toys. The other icon is for posts tagged with the word tech and pretaining to anything technology or gadget related.
