Toys for the grown up folk
I have a serious addiction. I love art toys. The first thing everyone always tells me is "adult toys, really?" No, no, friends. Art! I dig the whimsical designs, the variety, and the limited editions. My kids dig 'em too, so it's win, win.

Up until now, the options for creating your own art toys were quite limited. This new design company, MAQET, takes the fun to an entirely new dimension and it's beyond awesome. Here's the deal. You choose a model ranging from a catgirl to a ninja, and then you go wild. The computer program is super easy to use, and there are so many ways to customize your toy. You choose your colors, special designs, and pose. Then you can take a look at the finished product before you order it and choose a size. There are two sizes, and the price is quite affordable to boot.

Once you have chosen your toy, the MAQET factory will create your figurine out of plastin, which is eco-friendly and a great way to display your creativity. When it arrives in the mail, you and your kids will be blown away. It's your personal bit of inspiration come to life! The only thing to remember is that plastin is durable, but not unbreakable. These toys are art pieces after all. Did I mention how much I love art toys? -Eva
