Can anybody point me to an article, book, or website that discusses the whole creation process? From concept sketches to manufacturing process and independent distribution.

Thanks

    kidrobot's message board might be a better spot to ask this. by all means, correct me if i'm wrong, but i think everyone here is more consumer than creator. if the book doesnt exist that right there would be great project.

    There is a great book called "Vinyl will kill" by Design Lab. I got it at Giant Robot. It's an inside look into the designer toy world. It was pricey, about $35, but worth it!

    It came with a pack of ool web cards that had links to different toy companies, as well as a poster.

      J.B. Thanks for the tip > I just bought the book based on your reco. You should write the publisher and demand a kickback. Heh!

    Shadow, have you had any luck? I bought the "Vinyl Will Kill" book, but I don't see a lot of info like you're asking for... Please keep us posted if you find something good!
