Wednesday, December 10, 2008
I think this is the most exciting Dunny series for me in the history of Kidrobot. The upcoming “proper nice” set features 17 blind boxed, 3-inch figures by the likes of Clutter, Doktor A, Frames, HiCalorie x Julie West, ilovedust, Jon Burgerman, Keanan Duffty, McFaul, Mimic, Peskimo, Shok 1, Tado, Triclops and UAMOU. The series [...]

Wednesday, December 3, 2008
You know when you look back at pictures of yourself as a child and you think, man that banana-yellow Datsun my Dad drove me around in sure made me popular? You now have the power to break the cycle of embarrassment–for both you and your spawn. Since writing about Kid Kustoms’ designer strollers, my eyes [...]

Friday, November 28, 2008
You probably already issued a great big monster burp after yesterday's meal. Now, commemorate the classy (in some cultures) gesture with the matching vinyl toy from Peskimo and Crazy Label. Andy Woo sent us one to check out, and it's great. In fact, with Monster Burp now standing next to my Pooty figure by Touma, I could probably power an imaginary car on bio-diesel.

Friday, November 14, 2008
We’re big fans of this new figure from Peskimo and Crazy Label. We’ve been watching the evolution of Monster Burp from a screenprint, though prototypes in evolving color schemes, to appearances at conventions. Finally, here’s the official scoop from Crazy’s Andy Woo: Monster Burp will be released in late November in a window-boxed edition of 800 [...]

Friday, November 14, 2008
Here’s a really good excuse to go get some an injection of culture and make your way to a museum. On December 6th at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, there will be an opening reception for this star-studded custom vinyl show called Dreams to Dreams. The reception will be from 1-4 and the show [...]

Friday, November 7, 2008
Crazy Label, purveyors of a wide range of charming cuteness (like the popular Treeson), are on the verge of releasing their latest collaboration with Peskimo, and a graphic depiction of a dinosaur belching has really never been more adorable. Their Monster Burp toy (due for release by the end of November) depicts a little black [...]

Monday, July 7, 2008
Crazy Label has got a new Peskimo prototype in the works. Clutter picked up the scoop on Andy Woo’s Flickr, and between the time when I first read Maz’s post earlier this morning and now, Andy had already blogged a preview of his own. But it was “Clutter Ho” who helped me figure out [...]

Tuesday, July 1, 2008
The best part of writing about toys isn’t always the toys themselves. Often, the toy is just one platform within a rich mediascape in which designers make their marks. These days, urban and pop artists design skate desks, clothing and housewares. I recently blogged about Infectious car art and Pop Clings wall decals and noticed [...]

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
The Rotofugi Plushform exhibit and launch party is just over a week away and I’ve been waiting for the leaks and peeks. On Monday, KaNO showed his custom Plushform, blogging that “plush is kind of hard to paint on, but once you get cracking it gets easier.” Taking a cue from KaNO, Sketchbot posted [...]

Friday, May 23, 2008
I read about this great project [via Clutter in the UK] too late to get in on it. Selling was to start today at 9PM, and I thought, great I’ve got several hours to scrape up £25. Too bad that’s 9PM GMT. Everything was gone by 9AM PST (when I checked), if not much earlier. However, [...]

Tuesday, May 20, 2008
I told myself, “Just 3 boxes.” I don’t really need to start another blind box collection, but I couldn’t help it. I just wanted 3 boxes of Peskimo’s BambooZoo. They’re all cute, so I had nothing to lose by collecting a few. I wanted Bamboobi, and I was glad I got that one. I picked [...]

Friday, May 2, 2008
A few weeks ago, I blogged about KidRobot’s May releases. Peskimo’s BambooZoo was at the top of my must-have list, and now we have a closer look at the lovable critters. The BambooZoo Mini series is a blind box collection of 16 creatures with 2 mystery figures. They’ll be available on May 8th. From the intial [...]

With a clean and user-friendly interface, UK-based Moo.com lets you make your own mini business cards, greeting cards, note cards, postcards and sticker books.

Friday, April 18, 2008
This has been a sad month for my toy collection. I have not bought a single toy since mid-March. I had to save my money for Radiohead tickets (August 24th @ The Hollywood Bowl). I’ve also been saving money for Coachella which is next weekend. Even though it’s still April, it’s not too early to think [...]
