Store window displays are always an interesting sight in New York City. This one from Barneys New York is especially interesting because it shows a blue mannequin being attacked by little white people. Actually, these little white people are Munnies. Munnies are small vinyl action figures made by Kidrobot, a creator and retailer of limited edition collector toy figures. They are extremely popular among teenagers and college students. Recently, Kidrobot ventured into the apparel business and it is doing very well, especially among its core fans, the toy collectors.While researching the identity of the little white people in the photo, I discovered these Gorillaz action figures. Aren't they cute? You can watch the video starring these action figures by clicking here. I love this video!!
Do you have a favorite toy or do you collect anything special?

merci pour la video, je ne connaissais pas du tout (pas encore arrive en France, enfin je pense). moi c'est les peluches (mais pas trop car m'ami amedée est rapidement jaloux ;o) ).

thanks for the Tanya Chua youtube vid :)
In Switzerland, the little coffee creamers come with foil lids that feature places or animals or flowers -- every creamer I've gotten has had a unique lid. Apparently, there are people who collect them. No, I'm not one of them!

well... I don't collect toys... Ok, i have mines and keep them from my childhood, but everyones did it uh?
Wasn't at all seduced by the Gorillaz figures. The Manga Culture doesn't work for me. I'd throw the lot in the bin immediately if I could.
Oh, looks like we have to start collecting sugar sachets for Keropok man ???
Loved your chair installation post. I have an aunt who did installations with chairs in a Theater hall. When people entered the theatre they saw them piled in a certain way. When they came out after the show the were arranged in a different way... hmmm is that art? I have doubts but i'm polite so I didn't tell her.
How cool! Of course munnies haven't yet hit the 'South' yet, and I'm not holding my breath, but, they sure are interesting.
I love your hook line, 'Blue man gets attacked by little white people.' Perhaps something for our space faring future...?
ha!
It's very cold down here!

La.
olivier - I thought amedée when I posted this photo.
keropokman - This is a great venue to collect sugar sachets. I've seen those cute square sugar cubes and long straw shape sugar sachets here in NYC and in Europe. :-)
lavenderlady - I know some people who love snow babies too. Didn't know they were discontinued. You might have a prized collection there.
oya - Thanks for the explanation.
edwin - You're welcome. Tanya ROCKS!
Z from Villigen - I think some of the yogurt lids here are like that too.
dsole - No teddy bears in my bedroom. I swear!! I DO NOT HAVE A TEDDY BEAR!! :-))
Natalie - I don't get the manga craze too. Cartoons are supposed to be funny and cute, not dangerous or sexual.
DMov - Give it a couple of years. It will get to Monroe one day. :-)
Nice shot.

Who knew? Not me. I really enjoy getting these lessons in contemporary culture.
