STRANGEco Exclusives for Vinyl Toy Network
STRANGEco is bringing a bundle of exclusives to this weekend’s Vinyl Toy Network. James Jarvis’ Martin X sold out at STRANGEco and Amos Toys online this past weekend, so VTN remains the final destination for acquiring the Bounty Hunter tribute. There will also be a GID Lorbo by Jim Woodring, the tree edition of Julie [...]

Monday, November 3, 2008
First, a confession: Clowns totally freak me out. Even though Ledbetter, tokidoki and Baseman will be busting out the red noses, you still won’t find me anywhere in the vicinity of the Corey Helford Gallery on November 15th for the CLOWNS group show. Sure, there will be a host of hot new works from some of [...]
Continue reading...Miao Custom Show at Subtext
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
By November 14th, we’ll be able to forget about donkeys and elephants and we’ll be able to think about cuter and less politically laden mammals like a cute and lucky cat and an adorable mouse (or mousubi). Opening on the before mentioned November 14th is the custom Miao show at Subtext, the bookstore and gallery [...]
Continue reading...Sid Vicious by tokidoki
Friday, October 10, 2008
What would Sid Vicious think if he came back to life and found himself rendered in kawaii-cuteness by tokidoki? Regardless of that, these new punk-inspired t-shirts from Simone Legno are probably right for the right person. The line features shout-outs to Sid, Nancy and Sheena (as in “is a Punk Rocker”) on colorful shirts. [...]

Friday, October 3, 2008
I originally spied and posted about the upcoming tokidoki Captain Coco figure during the San Diego Comic Con (man, that seems a long, long time ago). I was introduced to him by the STRANGEco team at their filled to the brim with awesomeness booth. And finally, any and all dreams of hot Coco action can [...]

Friday, September 26, 2008
Yesterday I posted about the collaboration between tokidoki and Yahoo and the exclusive line of purple and Yahoo logo-ed T-shirts. Today I bring you yet another Yahoo exclusive, the limited edition Mimobot series. You may know and use the Mimobot flash drives and their mash ups with artists such as tokidoki, Sket One, Reach and [...]
Continue reading...tokidoki x yahoo!?
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Yeah, tokidoki is EVERYWHERE! But on my default Yahoo.com browser window? Yes, even there. Internet God’s Yahoo are doing some promotion about “the power of purple”. They had some really slow loading video that explained the gist of it, but you know, I really don’t have that much patience to wait for it. But in [...]
Continue reading...My Little Pony by tokidoki
Friday, September 19, 2008
Okay, I’ve already confessed my secret guilty pleasure of having a soft spot for My Little Ponys (I can’t help it, I’m a girl!). And since I’m a girl that also means I love tokidoki. So just imagine the saccharine sweetness that is so cute it makes my teeth hurt, the tokidoki My Little Pony! [...]

Thursday, September 18, 2008
They say history repeats itself. If so, that’s a lucky break for Give Kids The World Village, the charity recipient of the My Little Pony Project. Junko Mizuno’s customized MLP (above) is now part of the MLP Project’s gallery, and if I was a betting man, I’d bet on her horse to reprise the 2005 [...]

Wednesday, August 20, 2008
What am I writing this on? A boring silver box of a laptop. No bells, no frills, I don’t even have a kitchy sticker on it, what I really need is “I’m with Stupid Bumper Sticker” on there, just so everyone knows what sort my powerbook hangs out with. If you’re one to judge a book [...]

In case you haven’t yet had your fill of conventions: Twice a year, an “astounding array of the world’s best home, gift and lifestyle resources converge at the NYIGF… offering an incredible selection of exceptional merchandise in one convenient, well-organized marketplace.” Of particular interest to toy fans is the attendance of San Francisco’s STRANGEco (Booth [...]

Monday, August 11, 2008
ToyCyte has been covering efforts from the toy community from adFunture to Brothersfree for aiding the victims of last May’s tragic earthquake in China. Most of the projects have been isolated episodes without the far-reaching momentum of a group event. Today brought rad news of a noble (and highly necessary) charity that is sure to [...]

Tuesday, August 5, 2008
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 [...]

Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Yeah, I like to watch Nick Jr.. How else am I supposed to keep track of all of Dora the Explorers exploits, the Backyardigans hijinx and of course the shenanigans of my favorite, Brobee of Yo Gabba Gabba. While watching Ni-Hao Kai-Lin, the super adorable Chinese immersion show that debuted not too long ago, I [...]

Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Last week, Sunny wished for a My Little Pony custom show, and when girls wish for ponies, well, sometimes Rainbow Brite and Punky Brewster materialize in a cloud of glitter and make their dreams come true. Er, or Hasbro has your back. Per their press release: Titled “The MY LITTLE PONY Project: 25 Ponies for 25 [...]
