These Expensive Toys Are Heartbeat

Speaking of the trend circle, the shoe circle must first be thought of. $1,500+ sneakers at every turn, co-branded and re-enacted models, are beyond expectation.

In fact, in addition to the shoe, like toys, electronic game consoles are also indispensable in the trend circle.

Like this year’s COVID-19, almost everyone stayed at home, causing the price of switches to soar, especially like the price of fitness rings more than doubled, and it also ushered in the national “Dong Sen” boom.

Liu Haoran also revealed the Lego he played at home. The prices of this Emperor Star Destroyer and Millennium Falcon are both close to $800. The life of the rich family is so ordinary.

Lego is the most basic introductory toy, suitable for any age group, especially the moment when it is spelled out, it is really a sense of accomplishment.

I believe that every LEGO fan hopes to have a 1-meter-long street view model, just looking at it with satisfaction!

In addition to Lego, the blind boxes that have emerged in the past two years have also captured the hearts of many young consumers. The price is moderate, and the blind box is the heartbeat, you never know which doll is in the box.

Many people are immersed in the excitement of opening the blind box, and will continue to buy. The whole cabinet of the more exaggerated player’s home is a doll of the blind box.

The energy of the toy market is also huge. Trendy play is also a culture that trendy people are very passionate about. What is the magic of these tens of thousands of toys? Today I will give you some of the more well-known trendy toys that belong to the toy industry.

KAWS

KAWS, whose real name is BRIAN, is a street artist who is known to the public for his highly recognizable graffiti images.

In addition to the paintings, KAWS’s dolls will be more widely known and won a lot of diehard fans. And the name we are most familiar with must be Lin Junjie

Daniel Arsham is a contemporary visual artist, but he is different from ordinary people in that he has visual weakness. However, he has loved art since he was a child, and his vision has not stopped him from embarking on the road of art ▼

There is a sense of brokenness in his works, which is actually related to his experience when he was 12 years old. A hurricane turned his home into ruins, and this experience gave his later works a sense of “broken” ▼
