Kuso Designer Toys
“Kuso”, the word was brought to Taiwan in 2000, meaning “reckless doing”. It was from Japanese “kuso-ge’s”. The word was used and quickly spread over internet by young people in almost everyday, and gradually the definition of Kuso shifts to “anything hilarious”. Kusovinyl is located in sunny California, and we are the best place to build your vinyl kingdom. As a lover of designer toys, I know how difficult it is to sometimes find rare and valuable figures.
