"I Am Plastic, Too: The Next Generation of Designer Toys" by Paul Budnitz

In the words of Jesse Hernandez "Finally, lol". Kidrobot President Paul Budnitz is set to release the follow-up to his 2006 book "I Am Plastic", which is a great book, filled with amazing pictures and info. "I Am Plastic, Too: The Next Generation of Vinyl Toys" is going to be a 368-page hardcover book, which you can pre-order right now over at Amazon for under $30. This time around the main focus in this book is the huge influence that Western designers have made in the scene... it should make for a great read, but who really reads anymore, I know you all stopped reading what I have typed thus far, I wanna see the pictures :-)
