Timber Pop Culture Toys

The Amanda Visell Wooden Idols are Crafty Versions of Childhood Characters

These Amanda Visell Wooden Idols remind me of the good old days and the pop culture characters that once populated film and television screens. Visell has taken some of the most iconic characters of the past and transformed them into wooden toys. The toys come complete with custom hand-painted boxes too.

These handmade and hand-painted toys reference back to a day where your toys didn't have to be electronic to be fun. Visell did a great job of choosing subjects; characters from Alice in Wonderland, Transformers and Gremlins were recreated for people of all ages to enjoy.

The Amanda Visell Wooden Idols are available through the artist's online store, but they are so popular that they are sold out right now. Check back soon so that you can get your hands on one.
