Synopsis Perhaps you've never heard of them, perhaps you've caught a glimpse through a store window, or perhaps you're already obsessively collecting them, but for the last decade there has been a boom in quixotic designer toys for adults. Creepy, funny, cute, or pseudo-cute, these Zombies, Uglydolls, and Devilrobots generally fuse ingenious design with an off-kilter cultural aesthetic. I AM PLASTIC charts the rise of these odd figurines, and examines the creators, the collectors, and the underlying appeal of this new world of toys.
