MF Toy Show – Opening Reception
Designer toys have been gaining popularity worldwide for a number of years. Although vinyl figures are the most common among these, many artists have been producing their own toys in a variety of materials from cast resin, to plush, clay, wood or metal. Ever since 2003, MF Gallery has been gathering the best of these hand made Art Toys from around the globe for the annual MF Toys Show. These toys are produced in very limited quantities, each item being a one-of-a-kind work of art, making them highly sought after collectibles.
With oversized felt plush by Australian artist Cupco!; sculpted Classic Monster figures by legendary Heavy Metal artist Ed Repka; delicately hand-crafted dollies by Sara Lanzillota; robotic toy creations by Italian artist Andrea Petrachi; “Little Pisser” by Elmer Presslee; “Pill Pals” by Jaz Harold; soft plush sculptures by Jenny Harada, Aya Kakeda and Bianca Banzram; hand-cast resin figures byMoses Jaen and MF Toys; and much much more, this year’s show promises to be the best one ever!
The Opening Party, with music and refreshments, will be on Saturday December 5th from seven to ten PM. Admission is free and open to all ages. Many of the toy artists will be present. The party will be a “Cash & Carry” event, meaning that buyers will be able to take their new toys home with them upon purchase. Can’t make it to the Opening Party? MF Gallery’s Toy Show will also be open to the public every Saturday (4-7pm) and Sunday (2-7pm) before Christmas, or by appointment. The toys can also be viewed and purchased online at: www.MFgallery.net
