Gotcha.......but I'm still trying to understand who these "toys" are being marketed to? If it's not kids, then teens and young adults or am I missing something? Maybe "collectibles" is a better term? I wasn't trying to piss on your parade, just trying to understand it all? And no, I haven't researched you or your work as the toys don't have much interest for me.......cause I'm an old geaser. Can I ask what something like the small item would sell for?
It's all good... and yes "art collectables" is usually what I write instead of "Toys", because really its not a toy... Its supposed to go on your shelf for viewing pleasure. Its just that throughout different forums and blogs that I show on, they will market it as a "custom toy" or "designer toy" so sometimes I catch myself just writing toy because of it. idk if your familiar with artist like Mars 1, Jeff Soto, Ron English, David Flores? These are just a few artists in which I will customize there "designer toy" into my green inspired world. For my customers the youngest was 18 and my oldest is 68 years old... majority is 23-40 years old... I won't sell to any one under 18 endless its through the parents, in which I have had plenty of times and no problems. The average pricing for the small ones (3" tall) start at $140-200... If you do get a chance google me.. Ian Ziobrowski you will pretty much get the idea who shows my work in galleries, too big toy collectors that hire me on commissions.. I even do New York City Comic Con every year, and this year making it over to San Diego Comic Con.
I didn't take offense to anything you wrote previously, I'm totally open to opinions. Just want to make sure I can help you understand this upcoming art industry that I'm involved with, and how I approached it, creating green inspired collectables.
