  Was interviewed a couple of weeks ago by a reporter for a local business paper, Business World, on the topic of "designer vinyl" collecting. Ended up injecting some inputs on Japanese sofvi collecting. The article consist of other interviews with a designer vinyl shop owner, and two other toy collectors here. One of which is the sister of a fellow boardie, xpollardx, Aiee. |

Nice setup! But must say seeing the word DOLLS in big letters makes me wince a bit. Still, nice! |

I don't know, there's still a world of confusion with regards to distinction between designer vinyl toys and the toys that most of us collect here. Probably the endless collabs. with a host of different western artists, I am not sure. I am just too happy to have my 15 minutes of fame, and of course, a newspaper's interest on putting it out in the public. But seriously, there are no "kaiju" scene here. No stores locally, nothing. Some western stuffs trickle in via FRESH MANILA and Vinyl on Vinyl both owned and run by friends. Heavily dependent on on line stores. |

Thanks for the link. My favorite line: "According to some art critics, designer toys are 99% hype and 1% talent." F*ck art critics! I hate that whole pompous scene |

Don't let Jay's modesty fool you. He's the equivalent of Anderson Cooper in the Philippines. |

Awesome Jay! Couldn't read the whole article though. I get so annoyed at journalists focusing on prices and getting their facts all messed up. |
