Do you think the vinyl toys trend is on the decline? or is it just another medium for artists to express themselves?
(more questions)
Trends do have high points and cycles, But I think the designer toy medium is more than a trend, it is a legitimate new vehicle for artists to work with. Like the invention of silk screen technology. It is now with us, and it can't be un-invented or suddenly go away. It will morph into other strands, and take on new incarnations by innovative artists, but the basic premise of being able to work in 3D will remain constant. It's too big and varied a medium to just die off.
Also, toy companies can extend the demand for toys by keeping them innovative, exclusive, and having them sit along side other product categories such as apparel or homewares.
