Refreshment's GID Cuppy for Designer Con

Refreshment will have a new GID Cuppy for Designer Con this weekend!

Designer Con 2012 Toy Haul!!!

Oh, about a week late or so on getting this up. Been a terribly busy week. Warning: Will be a long post. Lots of pictures. =) Probably one of the highlights this year was meeting Refreshment & Popsoda (Aya & Hossy) at Designer Con. They both flew out from Japan and had their own booth at D-Con. They are both really nice even though communication was a bit hard for all of us.

Popsoda brought along some exclusive/surprise releases to D-Con. First up is Atom A. Armwrestler's Green Miyuki "Potluck of Happiness" mini figure. There's also a tiny figure inside which you can hear rattling.

Preview Refreshment Preparing For Halloween

Refreshment is preparing new toys for Halloween. I see Cuppy & Muu Chan. Not sure if these are the regular size or baby. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Excited to see the final product.

Update: Looks like these will start selling during Super Festival 60. 

Latest Releases from Refreshment

Refreshment recently released a bunch of new colorways as well as customs from Uamou.

This was a new take on Refreshment's Ice Cream cone that they had used previously for Cuppy & Muu Chan. This new version has an Eye Ball and is called Eyeball ice cream. Unfortunately, these are sold out.

Next is the release of the Baby Zombie Cupcake. This one's cool! These are still available for 1000yen.

Refreshment's Clown Cuppy, Xmas Cuppy & DEVI-Chan

Clown Cuppy

Xmas Cuppy

Xmas DEVI-Chans

These awesome figures from Refreshment in Japan arrived a couple of weeks ago. I love Refreshment's figures. How awesome is Clown Cuppy?  I think a few of these might still be available from Refreshment. Check their site out in the link above.

Also received this postcard with my order. Seems like this could be a hint of perhaps a Queen Cuppy release?

Refreshment Cuppy

I love these! Simple, cute and just pure awesomeness. I had heard about Cuppy but was never sure on how to get them since Refreshment is located in Japan. By the time I found Refreshment's website and store, all the Cuppy figures were long sold out. Aya Takeuchi is creator/artist/owner of Refreshment.

It wasn't until SDCC 2010, when I saw these in person. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Needless to say I was so happy to finally get a few. These little guys are a bit under 3" tall. Will have a more in depth look later.

Spotted the Cuppy figures at the Fig-Lab / Crossover Booth (more on this later). I think I picked up a few that night and the rest the last day of the con. These were definitely one of the highlights of SDCC last year. I picked up all but the Rainbow version. The Rainbow version was a special one by Artist Shef in Japan. If you collect Kaiju or Japanese figures then you would notice that a lot of the rainbow figures were done by Shef. The Rainbow Cuppy was a bit tougher to get as it was released at one of the shows in Japan. I was lucky enough to order one from Refreshment.

If anyone has any leads on any versions not shown here, send us an email.
