Designer toys

Toys, the word brings up so much memories of my childhood. I remember crying to my parents in Walmart when I pass a toy I want. My parents would always complain saying that I had too much toys, but I wanted more. The more cool gadgets, accessories, and actions it did, the more I wanted. However, as I started to get older my love of toys died down. At the age of 16 I started collecting spawn “collectible figures.” They looked so cool, but they were quite expensive and not having a job made it hard to buy . Eventually, in 12^th grade I donated all my toys to goodwill. I had no use for them. However, one day I was shocked. During my art class my teacher handed me a magazine with a bunch of toys on it. But these toys were different, they were meant to be artwork. It was like the canvas was the toy. They were called “Designer Toys” There was an array of art styles: graffiti, surrealism, even abstract. I eventually wanted to partake in this art movement, but when I looked at how the figures cost it blew my mind, $600 dollars for a 10 inch figurine.  Anyways, here’s a link to the site if you want to see some http://www.myplasticheart.com/
