Nada designed by Mélanie Baillairgé and produced by Madame Edgar (Montreal) stands pretty much in a circle of its own. This 11-inch tall female vinyl figure sans clothes pushing a grocery cart filled with fruit and a dose of social commentary sits squarely on the art side of designer toys. Mélanie Baillairgé’s "trash barbie doll" has 5 points of articulation, comes with a grocery cart, 3 oranges and a melon and will be available this spring for an estimated $45-65 Canadian. Nada comes in two colorways: Natural (Green with hair -500 pieces) and Dull Gray (Grey without hair – 250 pieces). A world tour for Nada is planned upon release stopping at Madame Edgar in Montreal, Magic Pony in Toronto, LA, NY and possibly europe. Since we love "behind the scenes" peeks at toy development, here are a select few shots of Nada’s journey to 3D. Thanks to Mélanie Baillairgé for all the images.
Ah, some fresh ideas! Truly unique and probably to weird for most collectors. It looks cool to me.

Well I don’t know. How can I say… I don’t feel like playing with the model or manipulating it. Something playfull is missing.
Once you get to know her, I bet you’ll let her play with you!
