5 Points Fest - A Clutter Event

A celebration of designer toys, comics, craft beer & food, and street art culture, Five Points offers an amazing alternative to the big box comic conventions, while still having the draw of being a New York City event. The new home of The Designer Toy Awards (www.designertoyawards.com), Five Points Fest will take part on May 20th - 21st, 2017.

Curated by Clutter and presented by Midtown Comics, Five Points is a convention focused on designer toys and comic art debuting next year in New York City’s Lower East Side.

Artists Present to include:  Ron English - Huck Gee - Tara McPherson - Scott Wilkowski - and Many More!

http://fivepointsfest.com/

One of several new events tied to the world of Designer Toys, such as the new CurioCon, and Designer Toy Summit. Following the lead of the long running Designer Con, of course.

Where will the next event start up across the United States? Austin? Kansas City? Chicago? Atlanta?

Made in the style of the GI Joe action figure of my youth except the Combrat is the age of the boy that would have played with the GI Joe and is a clown/soldier. He either ran away to join the army or the circus. You decide.

Designer Toy Awards Nominations - by Gavriel Discordia

Not my picture...

Designer Toy Awards Nominations - by Gavriel Discordia

As a blogger of Designer Toys over the last year on Tenacious Ninja, everything gets my attention. These are the Artists and Items that got my special attention. Some of whom I have worked with, some who's goods I have stocked, some of whom I met personally at Designer Toy Summit last March, and some that just really got my attention as one of the best Custom Toys I've ever seen in over a decade of being a toy dealer.

So consider this my list of predictions if you like, but I just go with my tastes in everything I do. I just know what I enjoy looking at.

Serious Question though; If a Designer Toy comes out for pre-order at the end of 2016, and doesnt reach fans till this year, 2017, then does it count as a 2016 toy release, or a 2017 toy release?

The Vinyl Frontier - a film by Daniel Zana

The Vinyl Frontier
a film by Daniel Zana
At the dawn of the 21st century, renegade toy designers, bored with the G.I. Joe status quo, boldly remixed and reassembled the toys of their parent's generation. Birthing a new format of toy and medium of artistic expression, these artists were the first to explore The Vinyl Frontier. A world where Art is Fun! 

By exploring a landscape inhabited by a wide range of artists, their creations, and obsessive collectors, the documentary examines the hybrid objects' artistic and commercial value, as well as the creative process of art-toy making. 

The Vinyl Frontier is a comprehensive look at a fresh and exciting art movement that anyone young at heart and imaginative can enjoy.

The documentary features artists, scholars, and collectors such as:
Paola Antonelli, Attaboy, Van Beater, Tim Biskup, Luke Chueh, Dalek, Tristan Eaton, Ron English, Ferg, Huck Gee, Thomas Han, Jim Koch, Frank Kozik, Haze XXL, Joe Ledbetter, MCA, Van Beater, Brian McCarty, Dave Bondi, Bill McMullen, Tara Mcpherson, Gary Baseman, Sket One, Joey Potts, Jermaine Rogers, Bwana Spoons, and many many more..

You can find the trailer and more on the film's website: www.thevinylfrontiermovie.com
This is The Vinyl Frontier special edition DVD. Along with the film, this DVD comes packed with tons of bonus content.

Special Features Include:
· Artist & Director Commentary
· 18 Vinyl Frontier Artist Spotlights
· Q&A with Artists and Director Daniel Zana at Royal Flush Festival
· Making a toy with The Sucklord
· On Location with Brian McCarty
· A look at Gary Baseman's Collection
