Oni Baba (Blue Demon)

This profile is a mix of all designer toys made by the artists. We may reorganize this profile in the future and an artists that creates their own toys would have a separate manufacturer profile. My love affair with toys stared at an early age. As a child I collected and played with the traditional 80’s mass market action figures but as I grew older I began to realize the unique beauty that these “toys” possessed. In high school I could be found skipping class to hang out in the aisles of ToysR’us waiting for the new shipment of figures to come bursting out of their cardboard coffins. In 2002 on an extended visit to Japan I discovered the world of designer vinyl and art toys. Since then I have become an avid collector and customizer of unique 3D art figures …. as well as the mass produced action figures of my childhood. Currently living in San Francisco, I spend most of my free time collecting and creating one of a kind toy art for pleasure and for SF's own Blamo Toys.
