And so, we are nearing the dateline for the upcoming I Am 8-Bit show taking place in LA this year. If you know nothing about the show, think of it like this: art inspired by classic gaming. The sneak peeks are beginning to surface; along with it, my desire to live on the West Coast [...]

It’s quite a pleasure to be included in a press email, and I have to say that I’m glad that I was included for this show– the works seem to be impecible. I am quite delighted to share news of Intoxicated Demon’s Addicted to Details show taking place in Berlin. Hit the jump for more [...]

Ah, Simone, how I love to watch you. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing/hanging with Simone once or twice this year and I can honestly tell you he’s a great guy. I love being around him- granted, it may have everything to do because I am one of his many fangirls, but who’s keeping track [...]

Well, I am quite grateful that MINDstyle will be producing a second series of Kathie’s Scavenger Children figures. I am in love with Kathie Olivas, I believe I profess my love for her every time I get a chance to write about her, and was delighted when her first series was announced. I unfortunately thought [...]

Well, we all know I was heartbroken about not going to SDCC– but thankfully I had/have loads of friends who took pictures there and filled me in on things. Here, however, we have word of Brant Peters’ upcoming mini figures from MINDstyle. First, MINDstyle brought us the wonder of affordable [yet beautifully translated] Kathie Olivas [...]

I’ll say it once and it’ll be enough: I will recognize an Andrew Bell anywhere. I’m trying my best to keep my head on my shoulders when it comes to all the news/exclusives from SDCC. Above, spotted on Vinyl Pulse, is a Mad*l- part of Mad’s Phase 3- created by Andrew Bell. I’d look at [...]

The fella above is most recognized as the Robot who came on the screen before the phenomena that was Cloverfield. Others will recognize him from LOST, but I don’t watch the show (sue me), therefore, I cannot relate. I have to comment that when I went to see Cloverfield, I was highly distracted by the [...]

I find myself saying: “something is my favorite,” and I swear, I’m not lying. Devilrobots- makers of some of my very favorite characters will be dropping a new line of Tofu Kubricks this November. What’s so special about this series? It doesn’t just focus on their Tofu Oyako character, but brings their other popular characters [...]

I want to start this post by sharing an anecdote. In September I will begin my full-time job as a dean of students. I am still in undergraduate school and chose to take the job because I love working with youth. When June came along, I was questioning whether or not to get a summer [...]

iTouch you in a naughty Originally uploaded by Jon_Burgerman Oh Jon Burgerman, you’re making all the right moves in my book. Not that my opinion mattered much to him, it’s okay, I’ll deal. Anyway, Jon has currently updated his flickr to release info on a rubber case he’s created for Apple’s iPod Touch. Oh the [...]

As SDCC approached, my excitement for tokidoki vinyls grew out of proportion. The final blow was when tokidoki and strangeco announced the Onitsuka tigers, which I still hope to attain the white one though I’m not in SDCC. Now, VinylPulse has reported on yet another figure that I MUST get. His name? Cocommando, protector of [...]

I don’t know exactly what it is [refer to photo above], but Kaws has just announced that they’ll be available online tomorrow at noon. Whatever he is, I want him. I don’t care which colorway either. I got no information of how much it’s going to cost, though I imagine it’ll cost a pretty penny– [...]

I’ve been wanting to purchase the Compisition Notebooks Dunks for a while. I’d forgotten about them until a friend posted them on her flickr account and they began haunting my dreams all over again. Now, my symptoms have worsen, since the Composition Notebook dunks were also released in the AirMax 90′s design, which is my [...]

We all know, from past posts with anything regarding TokyoPlastic [refer to these posts], that I love TokyoPlastic. All aspects of the duo make me happy; the people are awesome gents, their vinyl toys are simple yet amazing, and their flash videos seriously leave my eyes wanting more. Any time there are news or rumors [...]

So, just shy of a week away from SDCC, and Erick Scarecrow has confirmed his attendance to SDCC this year. What is he going to be debuting? His dangerously serene Kissaki. I purchased the first release of his Kissaki during NYCC and now, he releases this! Did you notice the anger there? It wasn’t against [...]
