No self-respecting vinyl toy convention can go on without a custom show, and VTN didn’t disappoint with a selection of 15-inch interpretations of its mascot, Vinnie. For such a giant and rotund original, the asking prices–even during the economic recession that was on everyone’s mind during the event–were pretty great. Really nice cartoony work that went all the way around the figures. Most of the artists have full turnarounds on their websites and blogs (I just checked). The customizers included Scott Tolleson, Ragnar, Miss Mindy and CJ Metzger, Jim Mahfood, Erick Scarecrow, Andrew Bell and a plush Vinnie by Amy Vutiya.

Here are all our Dunny's (and a munny)
Oh and for the fun of it, you can add notes to identify them!
The Playtime Group,
I hadn't taken her out since I purchased her during NYCC. Woops. There were some QC issues with my figure. The top of her head had some discoloration, so I went ahead and "fixed" the issue myself.

Not sure which was cooler: Interviewing Frank Kozik or getting to look through his toy collection. You can read the full interview with Frank here:
blog.neonmonster.com/library/frank-talk-with-mr-kozik
An excerpt of the intro:
Frank Talk With Mr. Kozik
Frank Kozik is misunderstood. Or maybe he’s perfectly understood in a scene with many contradictions. Either way, he’s earned a living making stuff he likes for three decades. At the age of 48, he’s already been a successful poster artist and run his own record label. These days, most people know Frank Kozik from his toy art, which began in Japan with Medicom and Bounty Hunter. In the early part of this decade, Kidrobot discovered him through a credit card order, and what followed set the course for both Kozik and the American vinyl toy scene.
Frank invited us over to visit his San Francisco studio-slash-toy shrine this week. Perhaps you’ve met Kozik before, at a toy signing or event, and come away thinking he seemed jaded or grouchy. (I have.) But at his home base, the man who gave birth to a million smoking bunny rabbits was at ease and open. For a couple hours, we talked about toys (there to make people happy), art (jury’s out on what it is) and money (one of Frank’s unabashed favorite things). Frank answered every question we lobbed his way. Ultraviolence? Fiberglass on the way. More Kaiju? Maybe in 2011. Current music? “Old metal and flavor-of-the-week fake South African hip hop.” Let’s begin at the beginning.

i love the way this window is... I'm about to change this whole wall, and all. New setup, coming soon, so check back
From Kidrobot Nightriders series by Nathan Jurevicius. The description on the Kidrobot website:
“Nightriders are a particular breed of nocturnal bird spirits that wander between the supernatural world and earth-bound gods, communicating with the unseen.”
Charli comes with a card that describes her:
“This is the youngest of the Nightrider Family. An Impish, mischievous creature bubbling with vast pools of magnetic energy. Charli is known for her hypnotic dance moves and ultra-powerful happiness aura. “
The Nightriders also come with a little owl figure, Charli's is glow-in-the-dark.
I really like the design of this series and hope to find more of them.
Coming Soon.

There are always a lot of gutsy people at Wondercon, but one might argue that Wendy of I Heart Guts is the gutsiest of all. As an anatomically-obsessed illustrator, Wendy created the line of soft innards in 2005 and has been harvesting them ever since. When you really need to give the gift of gallbladder, I Heart Guts has you covered. The small company recently found themselves in a tough spot when they had to recall their plush uterus when it failed a pull test. The entire lot of other internal organs passed just fine, and while these are adult collectibles, not recommended for kids under 3, the plush uterus found itself getting the virtual equivalent of a hysterectomy. However, attendees at Wondercon 2009 who understand the detachable ova disclaimer can still purchase the now-rare organ, which sat alongside the even rarer black heart. These are really fun plushes, and you can tell I Heart Guts has a good time with them. It’s not all playtime though; the company uses their lighthearted toys to help aid serious medical organizations. Awesome.
