TOYSTREET – CHEERS.
Huge thanks to everybody who came to the ToyStreet launch! We had a good turnout and it was great to see people come out to support the designer toys/art/culture scene here in NYC. It was truly a blessing to be able to pull this off and we appreciate the support from everyone. This would never have happened without you folks and we look forward to continuing to do many more ToyStreets.
I must mention that we did not do this alone. This event would never have happened without the support of our sponsors, our vendors and numerous other folks who helped spread word about the event. With that said, we would like to say a big thank you to our media sponsors – SpankyStokes, VinylPulse, Toys R Evil, Plastic and Plush. We are thankful beyond what words can describe. We would also like to thank all our vendors for being a part of it and helping make ToyStreet a reality – Sucklord, Toy Tokyo, Toyqube, Marka27, Cubeecraft, TooFly, KupiArt, Giant Robot NY, GoodWood, Dave Cortes, Argonaut Resins, URNewYork, Circa 95, Lee Iturbe, Wrecords by Monkey, Vickipages/No Label Watches, 1HundredB, Rob Luciano (Lil Nayshunz), Ghetto Geppeto, Klusive Brand, LuxSugar (Incredible cupcakes!).
Also, a major thanks to the 2 talented bands that kept us entertained – Elizabeth The Band and Shinobi Ninja. Shout out to our very own Dj Jon Blak as well who kept the good music flowing through the ToyStreet speakers. It was definitely a great launch of what will be a staple event here in New York City.
Pictures from the event are below. All photos by Rio (Fadsnap Tokyo) as well as some by our friend Frankie Velez. Enjoy.
Thanks again and see you next year at ToyStreet 2011!

THE KLUSIVE BRAND.
ToyStreet is only 2 days away!!! As we countdown to Friday, we’re happy to introduce you to another one of our event sponsors – The Klusive Brand.
In their own words: The Klusive brand founded in 1993 by two New York natives, but it wasn’t until 2006 that the visuals went from its designers’ mind to clothing. The line is inspired by Brooklyn culture and identifiable characters and situations from everyday life. In addition to that, Klusive is a perfect example why streetwear isn’t just about clothes. It’s a lifestyle, art, culture, and passion we incorporate in every piece of our garments.

CUBEECRAFT.
As ToyStreet gets closer, we’re happy to introduce you to another one of our wonderful sponsors – Cubeecraft.
Cubeecraft (pronounced “kyoob-ee”) papercraft toys feature interlocking tabs and slots for construction – eliminating the need for tape, glue or other messy adhesives. These designer toys are the brain child of Chris Beaumont, a Philadelphia native. Chris moved to New York to attend Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, earning a BFA in Communication Design. Also an alumni of several saturday morning cartoons, Chris has left his mark on many properties, such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Resident Evil, Scott Pilgrim, Penny Arcade, The Princess Bride and the Sesame Workshop, just to name a few. Cubeecraft has recently begun exhibiting and selling large scale original designs which we are proud to offer to the toy collecting public for the first time at Toy Street.

SUCKLORD.
As you should already know or now know, ToyStreet is coming up in 2 weeks. You definitely do not want to miss it as it is going to be a fun experience. We’re happy to have some good folks down with ToyStreet and it’s time to shine the spotlight on one of our sponsors as well as an artist who will have a booth at ToyStreet – Sucklord.
Sucklord is an artists’ artist. The type of artist that believes in an artist creating art from start to finish by themselves. The type of artist who’s outspoken and you can either respect for that or dislike. (We respect him 100% for that, FYI). A straight up NYC bad-ass super talented artist. He embodies the true essence of what an artist is. He’s been creating handmade toys for years and is one of the more popular individuals in the designer toy scene. He’s been in plenty of magazines and all his pieces sell out pretty quickly, and since they’re mostly handmade, these are true collector’s items. Check out his Bootleg figures for some of the dopest sh*t you will ever see.
Here’s his bio taken directly off his site. Visit his site for more info on Sucklord and to check out all the dope stuff that he has on there. He will be present at ToyStreet with exclusive pieces!
“SUCKADELIC is an Evil Arts Organization that has made a name for itself thru creative toy bootlegging and illicit remix records…Owned and operated by the mysterious SUCKLORD of CHINATOWN, Suckadelic takes nerdy obsessions to the heights of hipster cool…
Greatest hits include the unlicensed STAR WARS BREAKBEATS album and the radical GAY EMPIRE: HOMO-TROOPER figure. Made by sweatshop labor in New York City’s Chinatown, Suckadelic is by far the sleaziest toy brand in the game. Adding to the mix is an ongoing series of internet videos and commercials, featuring the Sucklord and his enemys in the ORIGINAL VILLAIN NETWORK. SUCKADELIC is comitted to bringing more toys, more movies, and more musical buggouts thru 2009 and beyond. Stay Tuned.”
Also, check out this cool video from Sucklord for a custom Suckadelic show that happened a while back. There’s lots of cool videos on his site that you have to go check out…right here.
See you at ToyStreet!
