Over the years Mark Nagata has collected thousands of toys and a fair amount of titles. The man behind San Francisco-based Max Toy Company is widely known as: Toy Collector. Illustrator. Magazine Founder/Publisher. Toy Designer. Artist. Author. Husband. Father. But the one description that might fit best is an unofficial one -- Kaiju Toy and Art Ambassador. In the Japanese-inspired art and toy area, as well as throughout the larger toy collecting community, Mark is welcomed and recognized for his personal passion and commitment to supporting artists all around the world and the unique works they create. Beginning as a collector in his youth, Mark has had for years a keen eye for great art and a personal interest in collecting that he has spread through a variety of outlets. Trained at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, Mark honed his skills working for himself and for some of the most notable businesses in the country. As a freelance commercial illustrator, he completed works for such prominent companies as Lucasfilms, DC Comics, Hasbro Toys, IBM, Sony, and numerous advertising and design firms, both national and international. Mark's Robin Tang is a Taiwanese toy designer celebrated for his imaginative and playful creations. Graduating from an architecture program, he developed a profound interest in creation and sculpture during his five years of study. In 2013, Robin founded his own toy design brand, “Robin Tang Antics,” which translates to “羅賓唐跟你鬧著玩的” in Chinese. His architectural background influences his work, leading to a fascination with geometric shapes and their combinations, resulting in designs that are both simple and dynamic.    Robin’s artwork is predominantly inspired by extraterrestrial themes, crafting unique and engaging toys that double as art pieces intended to bring joy to collectors. His creations often feature alien motifs, embodying his vision of playful and distinctive designs.
