The Toy Box: Hanna-Barbera PVC Figures

One of the best finds or releases regarding Hanna-Barbera figures were these little PVC figures by Big Head Company. Got these quite a few years ago. They are sorta blind box if you buy them separately but if you buy them by the case you are guaranteed a whole set. For such small figures the quality is superior to those of lets say Jazwares PVC figures which are in stores now. These were made in China but produced by Big Head Company located in Japan. There are 16 PVC figures to complete the set.

First up is the Jetsons. Totally remember watching The Jetsons every morning before school. Here's George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, Astro & Rosey.

Wacky Races - Penelope Pitstop, Dick Dastardly & Muttley.  Secret Squirrel & Morocco Mole.

Baba Looey & Quick Draw McGraw, Atom Ant, Wally Gator & Mr. Twiddle

Never really found out if there were more series made after this one. If you're a huge Hanna-Barbera fan or if these bring you back to you when you were a kid, definitely track these guys down. These are small enough to fit on your desk at work.

Dragatomi's Kidrobot Apocalypse Dunny Release Party, Show & Signing


Dragatomi really made an impact with us during our first visit. So, we decided to drop by during their Kidrobot Apocalypse Dunny Release Party, Show & Signing. It would probably have been easier to just head to KRSF but parking literally sucks there and the line would've been probably down a couple of blocks lol. Dragatomi  had 3 artists from the Apocalypse Dunny series in attendance for their signing which was Hydro 74, Chris Ryniak & Jesse Hernandez.

What was also a great incentive for going to Dragatomi was that for every case of the Apocalypse Dunny purchased you would get 3 prints for free which is 1 each from the 3 artists in attendance.

Their Apocalypse cases with the free prints are sold out but you can still purchase the prints at Dragatomi.

They had a mini Kidrobot Apocalypse Dunny show as well. A couple of customs, a few prints & original sketches etc... You can see what is still available if you head over to Dragatomi's website.

Oh and in case you're wondering why there's no pics of Jesse Hernandez, it's because he was about an hour late to the party lol.


The Toy Box: Max Toy Micro Kaiju Eyezon

Max Toy's Micro Eyezon in unpainted light blue. Picked this little guy up at Double Punch and these are pretty damn awesome!!! There were a bunch of colors to choose from. Thinking about going back to get more!=)
 Love reading the back story to these figures. These are really cool micro figures and costs $12 each. These are made in Japan.

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.
