Randy Regier's space toy artwork

Artist/sculptor Randy Regier makes one-of-kind toys and sometimes exhibits them in shops that never open their doors. To see them, you must peer through the storefront window. His latest work is a batch of space toys.

I was commissioned to find a lost shipping crate of early 1950's era space toys from a Wichita, Kansas based company called "Wichitoy". The search - most of which occurred in my studio - was ultimately a success

WICHITOY, Where Are You Now?

Randy struck up a thoughtful e-mail conversation with me in response to a comment I made here about the “artspeak” that accompanied the Wichita NuPenny installation [http://www.nupennytoystore.com/]. Love his stuff, and his approach to creating it.
