Apologies for the Lack of New Posts

Hey! Just wanted to apologize for the lack of new posts/updates the past week and half or so. Started a new gig and trying to adjust to a new schedule. Staff here is super small and stretched extremely thin at the moment with everyone busy with personal life/health matters. Anyways, a lot of pop culture content that includes Anime, Movies, TV Shows etc... will now be featured on our sister blog Collecting Pop Culture.

Farewell 2016!

For our last post of 2016, what's a better way to end it with our mascot JoJo which we finally made into a mini figure via 3D Printing. We've had a lot challenges and bumps to get our figure made. Original sculptor for our characters went M.I.A. We are still tweaking the figure and hopefully will get more made in resin and if things go well we will find a way to get this made in soft vinyl. We're hoping to get his little buddy Spittelz made as well.

JoJo is 2-inches tall. The texture of the figure is not smooth but feels a bit like fine sandpaper. We have a couple of Pink Versions for sale in our store HERE. If you are interested in a White Version or Painted version like the one in the picture above, send us an email. For the painted versions, we paint each one by hand.

We're hoping 2017 will be a breakout year for our characters and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Thank you for your continued support! We want to wish you all a Happy New Year!

See you in 2017!
Keep on Collecting!

Let's Make JoJo & Spittelz into Toys!

This was painted with acrylic on top of soft resin. The resin didn't come out perfect so we had to overcompensate it with tons of layers of paint.

We need your help in raising some funds to get our mascot JoJo and his pal Spittelz made into toys! First step is that we need funding to get these 2 sculpted using 3D technology. So why is there no body you ask? Well lots of delays and it's been pretty hard to get in touch with the sculptor on these lately. It's all a learning experience.

Collecting Toyz Store Sale!

We've been plugging our sale on instagram and twitter but haven't done so here! As you can see we have a slew of Japanese Vinyl Toys (Sofubi) for sale as well as a few original paintings by us.

Farewell to our Old Website!

It's official! Today is the last day our old website was up! The plug has been pulled but don't worry a new version of our website is coming in a matter of days. Just need to work out a few minor details.

Just an Update!

First we wanted to let you know that we finally started to get our toy checklists going on our main website. It took us quite a while to get something done. We got some new lighting which we are still figuring out the best way to take pictures of certain colors of vinyl toys. We are starting off our checklists with Super7 Toys. From there it will depend on what we have the most of. Let us know what you think. We tried our best to double and triple check release dates. If anything is incorrect, missing or if you have suggestions, please let us know. Check them out HERE. (not all listed is up yet.... we're working on them.)

For the next couple of days until Monday (Jan 20th at 11:59PM), we have a couple of discount codes that you can use in our store.

If you are in the U.S. - Use Code FREESHIPPINGUSA and you will get free shipping on your order.

International  - Use Code TM3UZ3 and you will get 15% off your order.

New Stuff Added To Our Store!

The link to our store is a bit hidden so we thought we'd make a post to tell you that we added some new stuff along with some stuff from our collection. See something you like? International Buyers, contact us if buying more than 1 item and we can figure out shipping to save you some $$$.

We added a few Gargamel Micro figures, Secret Base x Super7 Frankenghost, Refreshment's Mutant Chaos from DCon, Custom Micro figures by Bwana Spoons, Sametan etc...

As soon as more things get sold we'll add more.

Have You Seen These?

We're sure you've seen the face of the first picture for a while now. He's our mascot and his name is JoJo. The little guy on the right is Spittelz.

This has been a huge project that we've been working on. Our goal is to get a few tiny resin releases and then to have them both eventually made in sofubi.

We want to thank Mark & Maren of HHR for turning our sketches into awesomely sculpted figures.

For a bit more info on these 2 you can check out their own dedicated page here on our blog.
