YELLOW CARD = PACKAGE! in the military. :)

my and my husband's mailbox carried yellow cards this week. while his package will remain unopened, here's what's inside my little priority mailed boxes... :)




2 completey different styles of vinyl toys (artist wise) and that's all the more reason why I appreciate this art form. Now, I was never too attracted to Kozik's "smorkin' labbits" series, but for some reason, the 3d design and the labbit with it's tongue out just made me smile. So in they went in the cart. Everything was open box except for the mint labbit and Zapp from Futurama, which fittingly enough holds his "Big book of War," reminding me of my husband.

*note: part of my collecting logic isn't only based on me liking one certain type of toy or artist. a lot of it has to do with its appeal towards me (it's different for everyone) but also, how the toys are made (is it wood, vinyl, or resin? how's the articulation? how much TLC was given to its making, the quality, etc.) and even their pop culture value, like in the case of the simpsons or futurama toy. so i do give a lot of thought to what i collect. it's not based on one natured line of reason or bias. if the toy stands strong on its own by way of simplicity, fun factor, nostalgia, and the things above, then it probably will end up at my door.

food for thought from my end to yours.

:) enjoy -
