rotofugi

next up on the chicago front is kid robot-style toy store, rotofugi. i've never really jumped into the whole realm of toy design because for some reason it overwhelms me. however, i found this store's stock pretty approachable and certainly worth mentioning. my favorite was a DIY collection that came ready to paint, decorate, sketch on, etc etc. you can't beat diy design, you really can't. i think it's a great idea. their selection of the diy designs is a bit sketchy at the moment but they promise to restock some of the several styles asap. click here for more info.
