Vinyl toy research- My thoughts

Munny
Designs and Designers that appeal to me
The design is suppose to loosely represent a monkey but i feel this design is very neutral as it has the foundation to be anything you want it to be. This design is aesthetically pleasing which is the most important trait in a vinyl toy.

As this is a pre-painted product the paintjob is one of its strongest traits. The 'cell shaded' look of the toy appeals to collector as it makes the detail stand out and has a 'comic book' feel to the design.

A character created out of an object such as a marker pen which has been designed in an urban manner.                                                      

Proportions are exaggerated in this toy yet it still shows it is designed to look human. This toy is very detailed in the face comparing to other vinyl toy designs which have less features or no face at all.
Michael Lau's style is urban and unique. The designs aren't just toys but a piece of art. He mixes all his skills of being an artist,illustrator,toy and fashion designer into one when designing his toys and shows in his final products.
