Post Chinese Factory Workers & the Toys They Make
This is a pretty interesting photo study as part of an art project. Photos taken by German-born Michael Wolf for his piece 'The Real Toy Story.' These seem to be taken from a more 'reputable'-looking factory by my estimation (hence the openness to the idea I imagine), but with so many toys being made in China, I am sure that the production facilities run the entire gamut. Wolf created an installation of the photos surrounded by the toys the workers were making. [more information at the link]

Just a few highlights from the Imgur Album:
