Happy Monday everyone! The weekend before Thanksgiving I attended one of
my favorite conventions, Designer Con. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s
a toy and art convention mostly focusing on the designer toy world. I’m
going to share more from the convention over the next few days but I
first up is the Dream Big Friends now on Kickstarter.
“After watching their own kids
play, David Horvath and Sun Min (Award Winning Designers of Uglydoll)
began a discussion with Klim Kozinevich (Creative Director of Bigshot
Toyworks) and wondered; what if there was more? The worlds of princesses
and pixies, fashion models and super heroes are all fantastic, but
something was missing. The trio set out to create a unique personality
in a small plastic body, focusing on aspirational, inspirational and
imaginative play. Something that would encourage kids around the world
to embrace what makes them who and what they are, inside and out. With
all that in mind, Yuna was born!
Yuna is the very first doll in an all new line called Dream BIG Friends. She's also the first Asian American girl to be the center of a doll line! She loves science, travel, rockets, art, design, and Korean food. Her BIG dream is to run a company designing rockets that will one day take her to Mars. She'll be the first one to stand on the planet's surface, naturally. With your help, she’s sure to get there.November 20th (that's TODAY!) heralds the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for Dream BIG Friends, where you can invite Yuna and her cat Kamata into your home. There have been many discussions about body types and unrealistic proportions and attitudes imposed through children's toys these days. David, Sun Min and Klim wanted their first doll, and all of her friends, to feel like very real characters, complete with rich backgrounds and boundless potential... Avatars for your imagination. Made with high quality materials and built to last, our BIG Dream is that one day far from now, your kids will share Yuna with their kids. Yuna will be making her first appearance at DesignerCon November 21 and 22 in Pasadena, CA at the Bigshot Toyworks Booth #901.Spread the word... and Dream BIG with Us!“
