Episode notes
Together, we trace Flaw Toys’ journey from Dutch toy-store summers to life in Thailand, exploring how an engineering career gave way to sculpting strange, resin-cast figures that embrace imperfection. Along the way, you’ll hear about early experiments, artistic flops that became fan favorites, and why “flaws” are actually the soul of handmade art.
We also get into the nuts and bolts: resin casting challenges, the high costs of toy expos, international shipping headaches, and the surprising perks of staying small and personal in a mass-produced world. Plus, a cameo mention of Adam Savage reviewing a no-face toy? That’s in here too.
It’s insightful and packed with stories for toy collectors, artists, and anyone who’s ever wondered how a passion project can take over a life.
