SDCC 08 is over, but I had so much fun writing about it, it’s kind of hard to just drop it cold. Luckily, some of the Comic-Con “exclusives” are slowly spilling out into the general populace. ToyQube, who I blogged heavily in the weeks leading up to SDCC, just sent out an email that [...]

I use my tokidoki Mimobots all the time, shuttling my data from here to there and back again. Now I’m thinking I might have to let me little tokidoki’s flash drives take a little nap. Why?

This concludes ToyCyte’s SDCC 08 Weekly Roundup of [...]

I’m back from a long weekend, and I have another San Diego Comic-Con exclusive for you. This one is from Munky King — Mecha Sad Bear: Clear Edition by Luke Chueh. Produced by In the Yellow, this “kaiju for grown-ups” is clear with silver eyes. Luke Chueh fans go crazy for anything he does, but [...]

Sure, I’d like to think that my little “Playing With Politics” series [tagged] and Obama poster coverage [tagged] has gotten some toy fans thinking about the importance of the upcoming presidential election. But try as I might, nothing penetrates the hearts and minds of toy collecting voters quite like an action figure of presidential candidate, [...]

The SDCC ‘08 news keeps coming, and this time it’s two from Gama-Go. First up, the eagerly-awaited 2.5-inch Gama-Go mascot x Toy2r Yeti Qee. Maybe it’s because he’s a Yeti, but somehow he seems bigger than a 2.5-inch Qee. You can see a sample of the Yeti at the Diamond Booth at SDCC ‘08. [...]

I’m a little confused by the MINDstyle press release for Buff Monster’s REVENGE series 2 art toys. They’re calling this an SDCC exclusive, but saying that “each Buff Monster SDCC exclusive figure purchased will come with a free Buff Monster Series 2 mini figure.” I thought these were the series 2 mini figures? That’s like [...]
