Disturbing Japanese dolls
All manner of dolls (and outfits to dress them in) seem to be popular in Japan, but these ones seem a little freaky. They seem to be a more humanised version of the robot design in the film iRobot (Will Smith).
Even worse is the ability to swap some “parts” to show a slightly different mood…

Michael Lau x Nike China BMX Blazer
Perhaps the world’s most recognisable designer toy designer, Michael Lau, who is based in Hong Kong, worked with Nike to come up with the following very unique China BMX Blazer.
From Hypebeast:
The shoes come in “Chinese” colors with yellow all around and red shoelaces and insole. It has great details such as the flares of the sun drawn on the sides, and the year 20-08 on the left and right shoe separately.
It comes with a vinyl biker figure and his bike, all in a special box that seems to be covered with dirt.

Chi-Bo : New Vinyl Toy Series With Comics
Following on from our last post, Galaxy Bunch are also launching another vinyl series in August 2008, designed by Chi-Kit Kwong called Chi-Bo.
“I believe in the significance of individuality. The individual is ultimately the most valuable and main ingredient of humanity. The characters of Chi-Bo celebrate and reflect the beauty of humor.” Chi-Kit
Every two months, five characters will be launched with a secret character with a total of 60 characters in all.
A small comic book comes with each package, with different stories and parts of the sixth character (the secret one) comes with each toy. When you buy all five characters, you will automatically have the secret character.
It will be showed at Taipei Toy Festival, Toyko Wonder festival and SDCC 2008.
