On a recent trip to New York I became the proud owner of a kid robot swatch watch designed by Frank Kozik. There are eight artists in this kid robot collection: Tara Mcpherson, Gary Baseman, Joe Ledbetter, Jeremyville, SSUR Ruslan Karablin, Tilt, MAD, and Frank Kozik. With each watch you get your own little dunny, also designed by the artist. With the Frank Kozik watch, you pay a little extra and you get a big dunny with your watch.

I hate to drop the ‘C’ word, but Christmas is only two months away and that time is going to fly. These plush mini Labbits would jazz up any Christmas tree and they’d be great stocking stuffers, too.

The original New York porthole into Japanese Kyju and vinyl toy culture, Toy Tokyo is back with a new East Village storefront showcase for cutting-edge designer sculpture. Along with other luminaries such as Kid Robot, Toy Tokyo has filled the void between the comic book shop and the art gallery with some of the most intriguingly beautiful and affordable art ever created.

Grown men who get excited over Kid Robot products and ‘adult’ toys generally give me the heebie-jeebies, but Lego’s new Lego Architecture division gets me pretty excited. Soon you’ll be able to build iconic buildings such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum, in addition to the Taj Mahal, the Sears Tower, the Seattle Space Needle, and others already available.
