Win Free Gas For Life From Touma

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.

Miao Custom Show at Subtext

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 [...]

Drop Date For Touma’s Pooty

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 [...]

Touma’s Baby Grabbit and Hellhound Plushes

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. [...]

San Diego Comic Con -Surviving Day Two

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 [...]

Visell’s Poopicorn and Touma’s Pooty: A Theme Emerges

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 [...]
