This is a swap for vinyl designer toys (aka. urban vinyl.)

Examples of these would be Qee's, Dunnies, Bearbrick's, etc.. They are usually found for sale in comic book shops or stores like Urban Outfitters and are housed in cardboard boxes (blindboxes) so you won't know what you got until you open the box and bag inside. Some series have rare "chase" figures and some sets have figures designed by well known artists and even bands which adds to the fun in collecting these.

.....

.....

====================================== please read! ↓↓↓ =====

Specifics:

  • You will send your partner 1 new & unopened blindbox. These figures usually run from $7-15, so I'm going to set the value for this at $7.

  • What qualifies for this swap?: Any of the aforementioned brands of toys or any other blindbox toy that can be found alongside them in the store.

  • If you'd like, you can post a "wishlist" below in the comments but please be aware that certain sets are not available everywhere.

============================================

Must have:

  • at least a 4.8 with no 1's or no-sends in the last 3 months

  • participated in -at least- 2 rated mail swaps (e-swaps, postcards and letters will not be counted)

  • a filled out profile (this is to help your partner gain a better idea of what to pick out for you)

============================================

Final Notes:

  • Please remember to rate your partner when you receive your package and please don't rate your partner poorly if you got something you already have or if you don't like what was in the blindbox.

  • And if you will not be able to send your package by the send date, PLEASE let your partner know. Communication is a must!

  • Finally, I will not be able to angel this swap. Sorry.

.....

  • (and if anyone is curious, the figures in the picture shown above are from the Endangered Dunny series.)

Also, if anyone is interested in joining this swap but doesn't know where they can find vinyl toys, you can check these links for more information:

  • Kidrobot has retail stores in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami and Toronto.

  • But if you don't live near one of these, you can check here for retail stores that carry kidrobot merchandise

  • toy2r.com has a list of stores all over the world that carry toy2r (qee) products. You might find others besides Qee.

  • Some comic book stores carry vinyl toys too. comicshoplocator and the-master-list.com can help you find some stores in your area.

I hope this helps.

If possible I'd like ANY of the McPherson series, Fat cap Dunny, The Captain or Wounded Captain from the heros and heart breakers series. I'm not too picky those above are just my wishlist toys. =]

Muffina 06/ 9/2009 #

Hey everyone-- I don't want to be picky buuuut- My bf andI only really collect Dunny's and we have a LOT of Series 5 [so please don't send those- we'll have duplicate upon duplicate!]

I'm also really loving right now the Yummy Breakfast Series, as well as Luckies, Lets Hang, and Things That Hurt Zipper Pulls.

Thanks for reading...I hope I don't sound like a snot :)

@Muffina I'm considering starting an "open box / dupe" swap soon so if you do happen to get a duplicate of something (or if anyone does, for that matter), there'll be that to trade them off? =)

I've just created a swap for open box figures and dupes.
