Glad you like the toy.
If other people want to see what Alan is talking about the website for my toy venture (called FiGUREPUNK) is here www.figurepunk.com if you're interested get in touch. All the toys I've produced so far are available via the website. Actually this is version 3 of the site so if you notice any problems with it let me know. I'm currently prototyping more toys so hope to have a few more out in time for christmas.

No Don you didn't miss it, I'd not yet posted about it to the list as I was waiting to get the newer version of the website up. Art vending, well.................. Hayvend have been going in the UK for a while http://www.hayvend.com/index.shtml you could ask them for advice.
or you could use a gashapon vending machine (like they use for toys in US and Japan) and sell art in little capsules for example http://www.toysnjoys.com/gashapon.html you should be able to get empty capsules to fill with handmade pieces.
Hope this is of use.
cheers,
Sol.
