Why do people collect vinyl toys ?, by Sacked... on Jan 30, 2016 12:58:34 GMT 1, From an article in SOLARIS 100 :
After breaking down the sneaker queueing game I thought I address the next essential puzzle piece in a street geeks identity: Collecting expensive toys.
Now when I am talking "expensive toys" I do not talk Porsches or Rolex watches here, I mean actual TOYS made out of plastic or vinyl! Now how did that become part of the Hypebeast DNA you wonder, well, let me enlighten you...

Plenty of people out there collect milk bottles bus tickets and all manner of things a lot stranger that toys or art.

Why do people collect vinyl toys ?, by Hairbland on Jan 30, 2016 16:58:46 GMT 1, I started with vinyl, Kaws was cool, Kid Robot, Giant Robot et al. My transition into 2D was natural as the Kid Robot boards had art sections, with chatter about Kaws, Chueh and others and their prints. Then I started to read that over time vinyl could/would degrade, and a few fortunately not terribly expensive pieces started to discolor. I decided to part with a large part of my vinyl, most going for much more than I paid.
I've kept a few odd pieces, Biskup, Baseman, Chueh but largely gone.
Always game for something odd, though.
