The designer toy explosion continues in Kidrobot’s second book, I Am Plastic, Too, which features a worldwide survey of the newest, rarest, and most sought-after toys. By offering designers, comic book artists, illustrators, and graffiti artists a new outlet for their creative energies, these toys become miniature works of art, collected and coveted by fans everywhere. Showcasing examples from more than 140 artists and companies from six continents, this book includes images of scarce, limited-edition toys and extensive interviews with 13 of the hottest designers working today. Many of the most popular creators from the first book are back, along with new faces such as Amanda Visell, Brandt Peters, eBoy, Jon Burgerman, Kathie Olivas, and Tara McPherson.

I Am Plastic, Too: The Next Generation of Designer Toys Reviews
-
Great book although a little biased toward KidRobot Artists.
-
Much better than the first one
-
Much more interesting a read than the first book. One improvement over the previous is to include a short bio of all the artists which lacked in the first book. Interviews section also follows the artist section instead of an appendix like the first one did.
-
Lots of great modifications to the world of plastic "toys"!
-
so many dope toys! the book is put together great. there's a slight bias towards the US but whatever just enjoy the great photos.
