It opened our eyes to a world of <strong>creativity<\/strong>, <strong>expression<\/strong> and <strong>collective passion<\/strong>. Designer toys are short-run, limited edition items made by artists from all over the world who come from all corners of the industry including graphic design, illustration and painting.<\/p>\n<p>The now massively <strong>popular art-form<\/strong> originated in the <strong>1990&#8217;s <\/strong>and still has unlimited growth potential on a global scale. &#8216;The Vinyl Frontier&#8217; takes the audience on a journey into this underground world introducing us to the legends in the industry as well as outlining the fascinating process of making these figures from concept to completion. This <strong>documentary<\/strong> has plenty of local appeal, wonderful stories to be told and an incredible perspective on a sub-culture you may never have known existed otherwise!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Vinyl Frontier\u2019 plays Sat, Aug 28 at 8:20pm<br \/>\n<a title=\"Vinyl Frontier screening at ACEFEST\" href=\"\/tickets\/films\/vinyl-frontier.php\">Tickets \/ Info<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought it would be appropriate to introduce our readers to a world that was completely foreign to me a month ago &#8211; designer toys.
