Tim Tsui continues to release Lupus Hope colorways in a fast and furious manner compatible with the werewolf himself. Perhaps as a consolation prize for the lack of Kate Beckinsale in the upcoming installment of Underworld, lycan-lovers can grab up this glow-in-the-dark blue Kidrobot exclusive. The blue GID Lupus Hope follows the SDCC version, [...]

Tim Tsui is dropping the curious colorway of yellow-flocked Lupus Hope on December 22nd. It’s actually kind of a cool color combination. Not sure what it has to do with wolfs per se, but if we started down the road of random colorways, I’d need to go get some more coffee. Tim says of Lupus [...]

This was one of the most "pure fun" art shows I've seen in a while. It must be pretty hard to hang plush in a gallery setting, but they pulled it off with good lighting and a cool backdrop. Credit to Katie and G1988 for an awesome show and inviting me in early to take pictures. Art toys abounded, but no one was taking themselves too seriously between the spooky muzak and Kaiju Big Battel's psychedelic presence. It's also always great to see (in person) art by international designers I write about (like Tim Tsui, the inimitable Doktor A and DGPH to name a few), and it's also nice to watch local artists like Leecifer and Anna Chambers have their pieces snatched up quickly. For those who couldn't make it (the show runs through November 1st), enjoy a virtual tour below.

I’ve never been one to covet things like Olympic pins. I love a collectible and things that are made in limited editions but these much traded accessories have never spoke to my aestetic interests, until now. Coca Cola picked two very talented Chinese artists – Tim Tsui (known for his Da Team Bronx and Da [...]

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 [...]

Every year, fanboys and fangirls of varying stripes descend on San Diego for Comic-Con.

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