A few years ago there was this huge vinyl toy
crazy that everyone was into. With
brands such as Medicom Toy and Kidrobot releasing limited edition artist
designed toys. Unfortunately just like beanie
babies, trading card games and pogs; it was a craze I just didn’t understand. I especially didn’t understand the price tag
of vinyl toys, considering the fact that some sold for hundreds of dollars. While I did buy some figures throughout the
years, it was still something I had no interest in.
Earlier this year I found out that Medicom Toy
would be releasing a line of retro Nintendo figures. I wasn’t excited about them, but when I
happened to see them in a local store one day I decided to get them. I bought a Super Mario, and a Link
figure. Both figures are inspired by the
Famicom version of those games.
Both figures are vinyl, are made in China, and
are beautifully packaged in plastic clam shell that displays retro cards on the
back. Both figures also include a black
base that pegs the figures in place. I
was disappointed by the paint job considering the price of these figures, and
Medicom Toy describing them as “ultra detailed figures”. Despite that I still love the figures and I’m
happy to finally add vinyl figures to my collection that I actually understand.
