The Corner

The Corner

When I was 5 years old, my mom looked down to me on the short eight block walk home from school and she said “Sam, promise me that when you grow up you wont stand on the corner like all those other kids”, referring to the pot heads and crack heads, we would see on the same corner ever day. When I turned 15 it hit me, I was one of those kids I saw standing on the corner that I used to see when I was walking home from school. When I was 17 the regret of not being anything my parents had wished for set in, and I tried to use drugs to blindfold me from the truth. At 19 years old after listening to my mother cry on the phone asking over and over where that little boy was she once knew, I now know. I am not that kid standing on the corner all day, I am not going to waste my life on a feeling that doesn’t exist. I am going to do something with my life. I will not be one of them. I will be better. I will be stronger. I will be smarter.
I will make them proud, something I haven’t understood until this day.

Fake Dunny Alert! Please Read

So there have been many listings on ebay lately for Dalek Dunny Series 1, including many of the rare pac man dunny. Thease are FAKE people. The box has a pop top flap, rather than the traditional fold down flaps. They also come with plastic wrappers and not foil. Other than that it is hard to tell because they are the original molds, but have been sold to company that is not kidrobot who is using them to manufacture fakes. Note the Made In China gold sticker on the bottom of the box. Check pics for fake dalek dunnies from australia.

Smash!

Coming soon from Joe Ledbetter! After the fiasco with the Ringo Bear, and the select few who actually recieved theres, its nice to know Toy2r will be handling this production. We can most likely look forward to a larger production number and maybe even a better chance at taking all the colors home. Keep your eyes open for the initial release date!

Sancho Is here!!!

The first two colorways are out, check fugitive toys through my banner to find the turquoise edition. The margold came and went quickly, i snagged one from Toy Tokyo. They retail about 100 dollars and are worth every penny. The design is absolutely gorgeous, and they look amazing displayed. Look out in the near future for the red, canary, gid and flower colorways, and keep your eyes open for news on Beezle and Quixote.

Toy Tokyo

Toy Tokyo is located on the second floor of 121 2nd Avenue, between St. Marks Place and 7th Street in New York City. We started in 2000, and since have gained the reputation of having the most unique inventory in the city. There is always something new to experience at Toy Tokyo, and many customers return a few times a week just to make sure they aren''t missing anything. We have toys of all kinds, far too many to list, but we''re sure to have something that you are looking for. Many of our items are coming directly from Hong Kong and Japan, but we also carry the latest in domestic toys and collectibles as well, along with a large inventory of rare and vintage items. In 2003, we made the big step onto the online stage, and ever since, we have been supplying collectors from around the world. In addition to selling the greatest toys in the universe, we are involved in aspects of production overseas. We''ve also been known to have a few celebrities stop in every now and again so you never know who you might see! If you are in the area, and would like to have the ultimate toy store experience, please stop by! We''re open every day 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
