Vinyl Toy Network Convention

In our quest to find a good, quality vinyl toy factory/manufacturer, we took a trip down to Pasadena on Sunday for the Vinyl Toy Network convention with Sean and Marcel to check out the latest and greatest vinyl toys out on the market. Found a lot of great and interesting products; some were extremely elaborate while others weren't. What amazed me about the toys/collectibles at the show was the creativity these artists put into each and every one of them. SKET, Cameron Tiede, Daniel Monahan were some of the few artists that attended the show.

Our main objective, however was to try and find a vinyl toy manufacturer in which we succeeded at doing. The company we found was called 'Wheaty Wheat Studios.' Rich, whom is the owner of 'Wheaty Wheat' was an awesome guy to talk to. I presented him the poly-resin figurine of our 'Dieting Fat Bastard' and he thought it was pretty cool. We chatted for some time before the staff over at 'Toy Break' came to talk to us. I did a quick interview with them and talked about our toy figurine as well as what Bastard & Friends is all about(located above). The video from 'Toy Break' was streaming live at the time, but you can view it below:

The interview is about a minute into it.

Overall, the show was awesome! The only thing I was disappointed at was the fact that we didn't get the goodies bag that they were handing out. The bastards in front of us grabbed the last ones. errrrrr....
