I LOVE MY SHOP

ToiToy owner Earl Fischhoff has fun

DELIGHT: Earl Fischhoff of ToiToy Picture: MOEKETSI MOTICOE

Describe your shop.
IT'S a wonderland of designer collectable toys and has a fabulous energy, with many fun and interesting things to look at.
What makes your shop unusual?
We sell a range of products and merchandise not found anywhere else in Cape Town. The toys are all limited-edition designer collectables.
How did you come up with the name?
At the time of starting the shop, there were a lot of strikes happening so we played around with the idea of toyi-toying and came up with the name.
Why did you open a shop like this?
I've had a barrow at the waterfront for five years and have wanted to expand. I also carry a few other selected brands like Mooks Clothing and Skullcandy Headphones. I also create customised display cabinets for the toys and now I have place to exhibit them.
Do you have more branches?
Yes, we have a barrow at the V&A Waterfront.
What were you doing before?
I am still a plumbing contractor.
What are your plans for the shop?
To create an outlet for local designers and artists to display and sell their creations, and to make available to the public this incredible new form of art - toys.
Describe your customers.
We have a very wide spectrum of customers - from kids aged five or six to adults of 96. Many of our clients are in the design industry or are involved with creative work of some kind.
Where is your shop?
49 Kloof Street, Gardens, Cape Town.

Vinyl Roots Preview 1-4 by Kevin Gosselin

OK, you've seen a couple of these guys before, and although my wife says, "haven't you done that idea to death?" I said, "no, in fact I've only done two." Believe it or not I did the original tree ent that got me a win in Munnyworld almost two years ago and the another munny ent shortly after but otherwise, no other munny ents. SOOOOO, I figured I'd make a series of them. This isn't your average mini munny though, I stretched the body an additional 2 inches to give the added tree effect. The series is limited to six of which two are reserved for a couple special individuals in my family. Plus the original is also available, so that makes 5 that will be at the show. Each one is handed painted, signed and numbered.




OK, here's number two. Now I know this seems like it's beat to death but people seem to like and I've allowed myself to make a mega, a regular size one and now a series of minis. BUT THAT"S IT!! No more golems for you after this. hehe, at least not this version ;-)There will be 8 of these fellas available at the show tomorrow. The original plus 7 out of 10 of the resin series, three are being held back. Each is signed, numbered and comes with a "Golem, my command is card" which will allow the owner to cast a command spell to their golem.Aren't they cute?




Say hello to Sydney the Sapling. Sydney was created one fateful night when a wandering old kind hearted, yet poor sighted witch clumsily flew her broomstick into a giant oak tree. On she flew unawares that she had accidentally spilled some of her magic powder loose from her bag of tricks. Magic powder is powerful stuff and we're lucky it didn't fall and do any damage, or did it? But that's another story, for another time. Today I will tell you how that powder managed to sprinkle on one tiny acorn to close to the giant tree. If it hadn't been for the powder, why I doubt this little guy would have had a chance to grow at all in that deep shape. But it had been sprinkled, and in time, and a little luck, something magical happened. Sydney was born. Now Sydney, being just a sapling, is just too light in the britches to stay standing long. He's a clever little guy though and he used all his sappy strength to grab a hold of a small rock which keeps him grounded. And who's this he's looking at? Some Woolly Bully Caterpillar with no respect at all chewing through his leafy hand. Sydney gets no respect.As for Woolly Bully...he's a no nonsense caterpillar who's on a mission to earn his wings. All those in his way will be devoured!

Here's the last guy being packed up to appear in tomorrow's show at Dragatomi.
He's a little field mouse out on a nature walk study all the flora and fauna.
