Never has the future seemed so bright as it suddenly became last week, and though it’s purely coincidental, adFunture and Hong Kong streetwear label ONEWAY have teamed up to produce a limited edition YOKA to light the way forward. This special glow-in-the-dark YOKA celebrates the opening of ONEWAY’s first flagship store in GuangZhou, China. GuangZhou [...]

Olympic sprinting is kind of amazing. If you blinked during the 100 meter men’s sprint, you would have missed Jamaica’s Usain Bolt set a new world record with enough time to showboat before he crossed the finish line. This was followed by Usain’s mother going crazy with the hugs, and at one point it looked [...]

This is the kind of Yoka that lent you some dough and will cut off a pinky if he doesn’t get it back in time, the kind of Yoka who’s done some time, the kind of Yoka who takes candy from a baby…in other words the kind of Yoka you’d generally want to avoid. If [...]

Update! Update! So if you’re like me, and you have a wee case of the old Olympics fever (to be honest, I don’t know how I caught it, I just did), you get giddy when seeing the current art and toy worlds colliding with all things Olympian. Earlier in the month Jeremy did a post [...]

You know what I like about the Comic Con, the evenings. Yeah, I totally love working the floor and checking out what’s new, what’s upcoming, and it’s always fun see to see gawky teens dressed up as Worf. But by the end of the day my head is just spinning from information overload. After grabbing [...]

If you’re like me, you don’t have visions of sugarplums dancing in your head but rather images of crazy monsters, dolls and toys. In my dreams, there are sometimes cameos from dunnys, labbits and Be@rbricks but a good majority of my toy fantasy land is comprised of creatures of my own imagination. AdFunture and Clutter [...]
