Barbie – ESTRELA – Made in Brazil
According to Portugee’s site Barbie Fashion News Mattel might be moving some of its Barbie factories back into Brazil, currently Barbie is manufactured in China and will still do so, but with less intensity so it’s reported. I guess we will have to see if this really happens I am happy to hear that production is coming a bit closer to home. Also it seems that ESTRELA toys is rumored to be the manufacturing company, that will take over production. ESTRELA back in the 80′s and early 90′s produced Barbie until Mattel sent production over seas. Interested in seeing if this really materializes.

Pixar Toy Story Real Life Andy’s Room
Pixar Toy Story Real Life Andy’s Room
After toying with the idea of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time or Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas nursery room themes. Soon to be father of Jack Always, daddy Jonaas, eventually decided on Pixar‘s Toy Story films. The next task was how to recreate Andy’s Room. A long time fan of the films, Jonaas used resources and inspirations from Pixar Planet forums along with the films to hash out the rooms every detail. Using material resources from places like Ikea, etsy, Walmart, Target, Kinkos and eBay. Jonaas got to work, based primarily on Andy’s room in Toy Story 2, the room also takes bits and pieces from the other two films. Jonaas first started buying toys resembling Woody and Buzz, Hamm piggy-bank, Rex, and even a bucket of Little Green Army Men with plans to buy more. Moving along with a fresh bucket of sky blue plant the adhesion of bright yellow stars, adding three blue wall-mounted shelves (where the broken toys are exiled to).

Left everyone leaving the San Diego Comic Con very happy. The list goes from 1 to 20, 20 being the number 1 toy of SDCC 2012. I hope you enjoy the list it took me decades to do ( not literally) but if you feel something else should have been on the list leave me a comment!
