Thursday, November 20, 2008
One-Up is now taking pre-orders for two of TOUMA’s new figures. First up is TUDO. This guy will be released around the end of December in a purple and blue color way. With horns like a stag beetle, this figure is sure to be packed with cuteness and power. He will be sold for 3360 [...]

Thursday, November 13, 2008
I don't typically go for potty humor, but I'm crazy about Touma's Pooty figure. There's something so absurd about a skunk off-gassing a vinyl fart cloud. Every time I look at them, they make me smile. To that extent, we're giving away three of the figures in exchange for a laugh. The funniest comment will receive the rare all-black Pooty figure signed, dated and doodled as a collab between Touma, ToyCyte and Paradise Toy Land (who donated the figure for the global good of rebuilding the ozone layer one poot at a time). Two runners up will be awarded the standard pink (with grey) and standard blue (with purple) Pooty figures, also signed and dated by Touma.

Monday, November 10, 2008
Following up Sunny’s post last month on the Miao Custom Show, Subtext has opened up all the pieces for previewing. In among the ranks of Miao are figures going for a couple hundred dollars including the obligatory custom Yoda and a papier mache paparazzi as well as thousand dollar pieces by heavy hitters like tokidoki [...]

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 [...]

Wednesday, October 8, 2008
If you’re more the Knuckle Bear kind of collector than the farting skunk kind, you’ll want to keep tabs on Touma’s upcoming solo exhibition at Paradise Toy Land in Taiwan. Aside from the Pooty figures, Touma will be debuting an original new Toumart character, Iron Knuckle Bear (~ $37 USD) and Iron Goon (~ [...]

Thursday, September 18, 2008
Remember my previous post on Touma’s flatulent figure, Pooty? The Toumart Blog foretells of a release date on October 25th. Lots of rumors abound about the ways and whereabout in which this gaseous guy will be dropped. Although he was created at Headlock Studio, information is supposedly forthcoming from Spanky’s Spa Board. There was also [...]

Tuesday, September 16, 2008
I’ve always been a fan of Touma’s Grabbit sculpt. And due to a very talented contingent of crafty plushmakers (you know who you are), I am exploring my softer side with a new influx of plush creatures. Play Imaginative has taken two of Touma’s signature creations, Grabbit and Hellhound, and stuffed them full of cotton. [...]

Thursday, August 28, 2008
Play Imaginative of Singapore and Wonderwall of Japan are partnered in the global pursuit of making and distributing great toys. PI just sent out a terrific list of figures by Joe Ledbetter and Touma (including colorways that have come and gone), but the only catch is…they’re for Singapore collectors only. Not sure what would happen [...]

Monday, August 25, 2008
Skuttle Collectors, it’s time to make some room on your toy shelf for a new member of the Skuttle family. The “does he ever sleep” extremely prolific Touma is currently working on the Genbu Skuttle that should be ready October at the earliest (and has been in the works for quite a while). This wide [...]

Saturday, July 26, 2008
Day one of the comic con for me was spent ogling the toys. Twenty four hours, after my drool had been wiped clean from the many glass enclosures, I could actually take a moment to talk to some of the geniuses behind all this great work and be envious of the peeps in line for [...]

Thursday, July 17, 2008
The shitstorm of poop-related playthings explosively rages on with no signs of letting up. (If I had a roll of toilet paper for every toy on this theme, I could put CostCo out of business.) From Kozik’s Sho-Plops to Shawnimals’ Pocket Dollop to Manny Galan’s Dookie-Poo, has this movement become bloated? Apparently not, as is [...]

Friday, July 11, 2008
Who doesn’t love Star Wars? If there is someone out there who doesn’t, well, I don’t want to meet them. Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys are paying tribute to this beloved cultural phenomenon with the Vader Project where a wide (and a should add, amazing) variety of artists are customizing a [...]

Monday, July 7, 2008
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Touma is one busy busy boy. His newest creation is The Skull King, made for the online store intheyellow’s KFGU series. About the Skull King (via my super bad translation) is that “The Skull King is the equivalent of what monsters from the past.” According to [...]

Thursdays are being made special again with the announcement of the new Kidrobot releases for July. July 3 brings new PEECOL characters to join your own growing PEECOL community you’ve created in the back of your closet.

Monday, June 16, 2008
Knuckle Bear inventor Touma throws down 12 monstrous misfits for Evil Skaters, his first Kidrobot line-up. These 3-inchers ditched their boards for horned heads, big-fists, a ferocious sidekick and 2 hot chases. Sold blind boxed for $7.95 each. Damn, how busy is Touma? And when will he have a website that’s a tad more [...]

Thursday, June 12, 2008
I love things that glow in the dark. Not that I’m scared of the night or anything, oh goodness no. I just like the spooky aura that glow in the dark stuff has. I’m working on getting a whole shelf of GID goodies in my bedroom to transition me from lights on to night night [...]
