Awesome Designer Toys Gallery

According to Wikipedia, the term Designer Toys is used to describe a toy or other collectible work of art made in limited quantities, usually by designers or graphic artists. The most common materials used to manufacture these toys are vinyl and plastic. Plush dolls are also a frequent designer toy expression medium. Metal, wood and cloth are occasionaly used.
These toys are consumed predominantly adults and very rarely by kids due high prices and the lack of a naive aspect.
Sometimes, a designer toy is produced in an all white version just to let designers and artists create their own exclusive version of the toy, just like a work of art. These versions are usually very expensive for a toy.
This list gathers a sample of some of the most famous designer toys manufacturers. Also, at the end of this article, you will find an useful list of shops, designers and other designer toys resources.
If you have a link that you think it should be mentioned on this article, just share it with us in the comments section. Go and have some fun with these designer toys!

I love kidrobot stuff, even have some kidrobot shoes and ugly dolls are pretty cool too. You should check out Flying Fortress, his toys are sweet, I think he’s a British graff writer (he has a lot of stuff in Barcelona) He works with The London Police (crew)

Though I do not have a link for toys, I do find that these toys presented here are really marvellous. The creativity level in producing them are relatively high. The variation is wide. This demonstrated the human’s ability to come out wonders in whatever they desires if sufficient efforts are put in.
