So off and on I get these urges to buy vinyl toys, but I can never work up the money to splurge on one. I think the only toys I have are the Reina Pinky Street ones.
I got them a couple of years ago (I think) while I was in Little Tokyo with the Lei. If you’re unfamiliar with Pinky Street toys they’re little toy figurines. They kind of remind me of paper dolls 
you can just pop the head off and but it on another body, or pop the legs off, or the torso, and they even come with a little accessories, mine has the scarf and a little wallet/purse that sticks to the hands. I want more =(
I also love the DIY toys, but I’m kind of afraid to buy one because I’ll end up keeping it blank just so I wont mess it up :p. The DIY ones are blank vinyl’s that come is a plain color and then you mess with it. You can use a marker, pens, paints, sew clothes for them, cut them, turn them, whatever. It’s basically a blank canvas in toy form for you to make your own. Two of the more famous DIY vinyl’s are Kidrobot’s Munny and Dunny.
Aside from the vinyl DIY’s there’s another popular DIY but its a plush one. Shawnimals Plushform is basically a plush think with four limbs and something that might be a head… or not. Some of the more interesting ones are when they just totally cut into the plush and patch up the gaping hole with something else like an open mouth, or sticking something into the patch area (like an eye). I also really <3 a lot of the painted ones though.
I think I might get the Plushform eventually >D since its closer to my comfort zone, not to mention being a little more to my budget considering the size. The Kidrobots cost anywhere from $7 – $210 for just the blanks, of course if its been morphed by an artist those can go for a lot more. Still want D<
