I Heart Cool Stuff

MPH has posted my interview with Brent Nolasco on their site. This interview took place briefly before he had his solo show at MPH on June 13th. Check it out if you want to learn more about Brent and his background. [MyPlasticHeart]

And so it continues, the NYCC wrap up. I had the pleasure of hanging out with the MPH crew all weekend (they roll deep) and seeing all the things they are planning on releasing this year. Currently, I have a giveaway for one of the Koguma Babies that will be released later this year, the solid black koguma is ??? of 150. Well, the full piece is above, Koguma’s will be released with a totally cozy speaker swivel chair. I wish I could lay on a chair, naked with my stuff all out there. His little pee-pee is cute as a button.

In addition to the TokyoPlastic/MPHlabs Koguma prototype, MPH also unleashed their A-Type prototype. I love the figure. Great way of displaying their “plastic heart”. The piece also manages to stay true to Andrew Bell’s style. I didn’t know he was the creator at first, and ignoring the tab that informs you of such, you could tell from the leg/foot style that this was something Andrew dished out. The photo above show’s a snippet of Julie’s design for the current WIP.

Let’s see how many people were paying attention? Do people remember when I posted about Tokyo Plastic’s sneak peek? If not, you can see it here: TokyoPlastic Teaser. Well, the fine folks over at MPH, Vince and Bik, have just offered to sponsor a giveaway!! How awesome is that? What is it? It’s a limited 1 of 150 TokyoPlastic x mphlabs Koguma!!! Tomorrow, the giveaway will be set up for people to start commenting for a chance to win. Make sure you stop by to enter.

P.S. MPH’s sponsored giveaway will be the last on this site. iheartcoolstuff.com is going through some major changes… if you’re a member, you’ve gotten an email about this. Good Luck!

I’d known when MPH posted the above image that their surprise was going to be Tokidoki’s Sandy in a platinum colorway. I was excited for the release, because Sandy is actually one of my favorite characters, which by the way, I’ve recently noticed I don’t own. She’s green and spiky, uh– that just automatically means she rules. How do you think I reacted when I saw the latest photo release?

She looks so wonderful in silver! Even more exciting is the addition of more moofia blind boxes. I knew they were going to be releasing a pink milk figure, she was printed on the inside of Mozzarella’s packaging, so it was about time, but I totally did not expect the rice milk and half-&-half. AWESOME!!

So now, I ask the inevitable questions: Who’s going to NYCC? And when are we meeting up?!! I’ll be roaming around all weekend, because I can.

As I had previously updated, Friday was Nakanari and Dave “Outta My Mind” Quiles’ Techno Babble show at MPH. Though I didn’t arrive early, since I had to go to a meeting, I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to a steady flow of visitors coming in and out of the shop. (more…)
