View this post on Instagram My top 5 toys of the year! If there was one good thing about 2016, it was the toys. Got a lot of good ones, and managed to cross some off my list of wants! Can't wait to see what my favorite makers come up with in 2017.
When do we get to see some toy snaps from you, @bryce_r? Some of the only clues as to your collecting habits, PK and GGML notwithstanding, are when you grace us with a purge.
The Giant Peanut was my absolute #1 for the year, but I dearly love my Keberosman and Cambrigons. Really want to track down the other color of the inuzame this year! It Bear was right up my alley since I love anything clown related, I love MILKBoy & Kenth Toy in general, and it has that super cute outward appeal!
Finally got around to getting a shot of these guys. It was a phenomenal year as far as toys went for me, but I tried to keep it simple. Honorable mentions: It was a phenomenal year for Galaxy People releases. The lucky bag was one of the highlights of my year. Shouts to anyone who framed their bag! I think Brian is an incredibly talented/underrated artist who is gonna kill it even more in 2017. (Standard figs on the horizon!) Shoutouts: Kento Sato (KTO), Ryuuji Kii (Amapro), and everyone involved in the SBX Slimebat release.
Love that top shot, Patrick... in particular, that clear Bog Dweller looks so good with that painted Slimebat... just the two of them posed together might make a nice pair-up shot... the conjurer and the conjuree!
There's absolutely no way that I could narrow it down to five, so here's fourteen: View this post on Instagram
2016 was pretty epic for toy collecting in general and with NYCC, Hyperstoic Returns and Death's Vault taking place. I picked my top 5 and attempted to be fair across the various artists (just to make things difficult for me). It was a good year for Pushead, so picking only one was tricky. Although 3 are RxH collabs, they're each pretty unique, plus two were grail-wants from earlier years. PK x RxH Jinxman: Aimo Robot: (I'm probably getting the name wrong.) Glyos x RxH Pheyden: Hyperstoic Returns Siamese Orm: MVH x RxH Sludge Fighter:
I did 9 favorites of 2016. I was initially going to do just 5 but i found it hard to just do a solid 5 in general. So i did trio shots instead of one giant group photo.
