Itokin Park SP one-off handpaint: Blobpus Diablo one-off handpaint by Kaji-san: Ilanena one-off set handpaint:
Just some random thing I bought at SB. I bought a couple of the TTF Bees (with the different colored bits inside) at the SB booth, but it was to hook folks up.
There's certainly more kaiju every year at TTF. This is the first year SB has had its own booth. More and more Taiwanese stores are also collaborating with Japanese companies and designers on new releases. A ton of Japanese designers made the trip over: Itokin Park, Blobpus, Vinyl Junkies, TTToy, Kaijin, Hariken (Mad Panda), Touma, Devilrobots, Headlock Studios (Wonderfulman), etc. The after party (at a former-factory turned art space) was also pretty cool - Tim Biskup was the DJ.
Love the Itokin stuff. I'm always trying to convince myself to pick of some of these toys. I'm sure I'll actually do it some day.
damn son, those are some seriously wicked pick ups you got there andy...!!! the Diablo HP fucking rules...!!! wow, I need a valium...
Very cool pickup. Glad to see you are getting some kaiju love out your part of the world. Thanks for sharing the picts.
