Add to this thread if you can think of any designer toy or art gallery sites around Toronto!! I mean there's always the AGO, the Art Gallery of Ontario, but there are lots of nifty places along the way!!

Cool figure stock includes: tokidoki figures, gloomy bear plushes and things, domo-kun, Labbit, and others
publications: Foreign and Canadian Artists works
paintings/creations: recently I fell in love with a series of sleeping bunnies in there that look like lambs, they're handknit crafted, I want one, but I am too poor for them ahaha..

694 Queen St W, Toronto ON Canada
Tel/Fax: 416.861.1684
It's located queen st west, my prof and a group of students had a field trip in their art gallery known as narwhal recently! Narwhal is featuring a gallery by Taxali, a prof from Ocad's work, he's done publications, magazines, commercials, comic book, and etc artwork around the world.. He's been around for decades but I don't know if you guys would be interested but here:

He paints on old book pages, and book covers, I was amazed because of the fact it's all hand painted and not digital, magic pony is full of digital artwork prints for sale, but the Narwhal's stuff is also on sale. I like his cover that has the Chinese words for Jupiter Blood. I don't know what advertisement or scifi it was for, but it's pretty cool.

Function 13
Design, Art + Technology Store
I found this place while getting lost near my doctor's office over summer. It's a book store with foreign, and Canadian publications. It's got zines, artbooks, design books, and a small gallery in the back as well. If you go further in on Augusta Avenue, there's another gallery with delicious coffee and foods.. you'll know it's the right place when you pass by the vespa/scooter shop.
I bought a photobook of anime-game bentou-lunch making book there finally after seeing my doctor recently.
