Designer toys is a term used to describe toys and other collectibles that are produced in limited editions (as few as 10 or as many as 2000 pieces) and created by artists and designers. Designer toys are made of variety of materials; ABS plastic and vinyl are most common, although wood, metal, and resin are occasionally used. The term also encompasses plush, cloth and latex dolls. Creators of designer toys usually have backgrounds in graphic design, illustration or self-described low brow art; some are classically trained in art and design, while others are self-taught. Designer toys first appeared in the 1990s and are still in production today.

I got to know this online designer toy store thru a friend in facebook. I guess maybe they are the first Malaysia online toy store that specialized in Designer Toys. I bought a Pecanpals Plush (Periwinkle to be specified) from them for only RM 69 as a gift to my cousin brother’s new born baby girl. They shipped via Poslaju and very efficient. I paid via Maybank2u to them, and received the pecanpals within 2 days. The pecanpals is really adorable and each pecanpals have different characters. Periwinkle is cares for animals big and small. And the designer a company called Noferin, located in Australia.

The others designer toy I love is the Qing Soldier from House of Liu series. It is a 8 inch tall vinyl figure holding a 7 inch spear and wearing an unique hand-weaved bamboo hat. It is RM 189 inclusive of free shipping within Malaysia. And it is only 400 pieces worldwide, more exclusive feel. : )
