It was an honor being nominated…

So we've been nominated over at the Designer Toy Awards under the Best Blog section (thanks, Mom!).

Plastic and Plush in 2013

So I've been blogging about toys and the designer toy scene for nearly 9 years now. I started a site called Toytoons.com in the summer of 2004. The basic HTML site was going to be silly drawings I did, random interviews, and reviews of cheap toys my wife and I picked up in the local [...]

We’ll be right back!

As some folks might have heard, the Raleigh, NC area got hit with several tornados this weekend. We've seen some crazy things...houses demolished, sheds hanging from power lines, hundred foot tall trees uprooted, etc. Luckily we have power back, but they've estimated midweek for cable and Internet service to resume. That means posts will be [...]
