Cool Toys From Singapore

I spent all of last week in Singapore working on a new project and one of my seemingly endless line up of meetings was with Darren and Jackie of a toy company called Play Imaginative. Darren and Jackie are both great guys and they are doing some amazingly cool stuff with vinyl. I had no choice but to leave Spore with an extra bag full of stuff. Ugly Dolls and To-Fu vinyl to name a few.

In general, besides the stifling heat, Spore is a pretty cool city (state) and boasts an impressive community of geeks. Tons of great comic and toy shops, a thriving traditional bookstore community (Kenny Chan of Kino is THE Godfather of Books in SE Asia!), an impressive 501st Garrison and yes, damn tasty chili crabs.

Here's hoping all goes well and I'm back often in the coming year. Until then, enjoy the pics from Play Imaginative's showroom......
