Crazy new Horvath/Kim pieces come home!

My Friend Dave
Monster #14

I got incredibly lucky and stumbled into GRNY at the right time a few weeks ago, just as an interim art show was being launched.   Some amazing work was there – a little bit of everything.  But the highlight by far, at least for this camper, were some custom David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim pieces.  David has been customizing some of his My Friend Dave kaiju and I scored the only lemon-lime one at the show.  And as incredible as that piece is, Sun-Min’s resin Monster #14 is out-of-sight.  I’ve never owned a resin piece before so the sheer weight of this guy is shocking.  It’s definitely not a toy – it has the heft of a statue and it’s gorgeous.

Toy Fair Quick Glance

Some quick highlights: Uglydolls booth is amazing as always. Their new tin toys produced with Schylling are spectacular. Lunchboxes, trucks, robots and alarm clocks are crazy detailed and fairly inexpensive. Looks like MSRP is between $4 and $8. Wow.

Lego and Playmobil are solid. Nothing mindblowing but dependable. That’s why they’ve been around as long as they have.

I’ve only cruised maybe 5% of the floor but so far Diamond is the most fun booth because of the variety of companies and product they distribute. Great new Kubricks for Pixar, Nightmare and Ren and Stimpy look great.

Also spied the new Qee Domo blinds series 2. Nutso.

New Uglies @ Toy Fair

We can’t wait for the latest and greatest from Uglydolls — Toy Fair promises to be uglier than ever this year.  We’re looking forward to the second line of Uglydoll action figures as well as the public debut of their 2010 plush line — just picked up Pointy Max & Picksey at our local toy store – Big Fun Toys – and they’re outta sight.  But perhaps the most exciting development in Uglyworld is their upcoming line of tin toys.  Unreal.  Check out David Horvath’s blog and Facebook page for updated pics and be sure to check back her during Toy Fair (2/14-17) for our first hand reviews.
