Back to Vinyl Already!!

Ok ok, enough already about the stuff besides vinyl related arts right?  :-D I get a little side-tracked at times when I find things interesting in other areas, but hey, you know what?  Its my blog.. so deal with it :-P  just kidding, actually I like to try and keep this blog revolving around the vinyl scene as much as possible. 

So here we are.  The latest thing that I came across that I found that I really like is the new M Bears by Stikfas.  I found them via the blogaholic ToysREvil originally and had to check them out for myself.  Now they are only 2" tall so I am not sure how much I'd like them first hand, but I have to tell ya they are cute.  They have personality packed in even with the small size.. that says a lot.

After checking out the MBears, I looked around the stikfas site, and they are an intriguing toy.  I've seen them around the vinyl scene a bit, but never understood their following, but now that I've looked they are kind of interesting!  I have a question for anyone that has collected stikfas..  Do people paint them or anything or just collect them as is or what?  They do remind me of toys I had as a kid in Japan, many of which would come on plastic trees that you'd have to snap together before playing with them. kind of a cross between models and toys.. ya know?  Anyway.. I think they are kind of cool.  Maybe I'll get my "kid" one..hehe. ;-)
