But now Imaginarium has taken it upon themselves to bring it to the masses.
Although it's not the superior craftsmanship of Take-g's, the feeling of his toys is reflected in these wooden vehicles. I think it's really cool to see such nice wooden toys sold in a larger chain such as Toys R Us. 
Let's face it not all of us can shovel out upwards of 6,000USD it requires to buy and authentic Take-g wooden toy. Not to mention these new ones are environmentally conscious and the wood used is grown in sustainable nurseries. Well, as environmentally conscious a mass produced product could be I suppose ^_^. 
I found these posted on I heart wood but you can check out the original post here.Sometimes it's best to keep things simple in this toy world of lights, ic's, and plastic.
Sweet! I love these often simple formed, natural material toys.
ReplyDeleteBut I run into the problem of conveying them as interesting in my sketches. Any suggestions? I feel alot about this is material.
hahah you're in luck! I actually have on my list of tutorials "Take-g Wooden Toys"! I want to maybe sketch up some stuff then show how to render the wood so stay tuned I'm trying my best to keep up with it all. O_O
