War - Teddy Troop

Sander Dinkgreve, also known as Flawtoys is raised in Purmerend in the Netherlands. With a love and passion for creating products he started studying Product Design and developed his own touch to design. The love for Toys started at an early age collection Mario and Anime figures. This expanded into collecting more and more and ended in the Art(designer)toy world. Because of his passion to toys he created the DIY figures called The Strangers. With this unique figure the journey began into creating more unique toys and designs. The art of Flawtoys can be described as clean and calm. You can see this in all the Stranger and other customs toys made by Flawtoys. Check out the Flawtoys website and webshop for more information and a lot of his work www.Flawtoys.com The Teddy Troops had been around in the streets for a while before they also turned into a 3D vinyl toy in 2004. First of all Flying Förtress started in 2002 to get up with his chrome Trooper icon. Trying to use an easier readable illustrative symbol instead of doing the classic coded graffiti letters and tags that he had been doing before since 1989. Together with the chrome pieces there have stickers also been seen around in the streets since 2002. Handpainted or silkscreend ones with a hand-drawn finish on "free" post stickers and series of offset printed stickers.
