The Papertoy Network!

want to play a game?

use your best circa 80's robotic voice when you say those words, btw.

so here's the idea for the game. it's kind of a stream of conscience meets 6 degrees of separation type thing.

rules: post a pic of a customized paper toy designed by one person and skinned by another. list the provenience of that toy in this order; designer x customizer. it's that simple. the person who posts next has to select a toy designed by the previous picture's customizer and then customized by someone totally different. so it would look something like this...

initial picture

boxy by shin tanaka custom by dyadic

then the following picture could be something like this:

dumpy by dyadic custom by abz

so the next picture would be an Abz original customed by... your turn!

Okay, here's a tough act to follow

It's Twitch an Abz original, customized by Henk Engst.

Yo Paper-peeps,

I thought finally a game I can win with one hand behind my back and two fingers up my nose.

But we're supposed to string along as many toys as we can.

BKD ain't mad at me, so here goes... Restart:

It's another Twitch, customized by Sal Azad.

I can't find any toy designed by Sal Azad that had been customised by another artist. Anyone know of any?

@ Greenelf Damn did I pick a wrong one again?

BDK asked me for an original Abz customized by...

And what's a game if ya can't win? So to me it's 2 - 0. =)

Okay, next up is another Twitch customized by Zakane aka Justus.

Who said games should be EZ?

Anyone could've asked Henk or Sal for a blank and customize it.

So ask Zakane for a blank and whoop my ass!!!

Now that's a game.

Sorry BDK. You shouldn't have asked me for a first move.

Yikes! Another tough one. I believe the only blank toy created by Alex was Paper Cut. Both Sal and I did customs... which brings us to another dead end. Why do I feel like I single handedly killed this game. :( On the bright side, my Dumpy custom and three custom Twitches were listed. But still a game killer!

Come to think of it, the only 2 artist that had customed my toys are Sal and Alex. It's back to a dead end.

Shall we start a new one?

yes, please, by all means, start a new chain. i began this thread not as a competition, but instead as a way to link a whole bunch of cool toys and creative designers together. if there's a dead end, so be it, start a new thread. i just want to be able to have fun with this, not keep score.

i'm looking at you Meth! ; )

that being said, Meth does have quite an impressive collection of unique toys!
