Buff Monster fans rejoice!

His cool ice cream design is now an 8" Dunny! This is set to be released October and is only limited to 1000 pieces. This will definitely "melt" fast when released so you should be fast when buying it.

Expect a lot of cuteness before the year ends. Jam Factory showed off some of the production designs and color ways for the Series 2 Droplet. Produced again by some of the creators of the cutest toys ever Crazy Label, Jam Factory says they should be dropping by the end of the year.

Ian Christy’s new Emon Burton Qee Bear from Toy2R with it’s retro patchwork design is about to drop.  Limited to 500 pieces, this one has a light-hearted reanimated vibe in homage to a certain director.

Good to see artist Qees again.  This is apparently just the beginning – Toy2R is planning an active release schedule  in 2010 as part of it’s 15th year celebration.

Gargamel will release the first painted version of Tim Biskup’s Relphe/Helper on September 27.  Priced at 7500 yen, this one features a blue exterior shell which can be removed to reveal a yellow helper.  Nice~!

LA designer Dr. Romanelli has cooked up a sweet collaboration – four Hello Kitty VCD (vinyl collectible doll) figures done with Sanrio and Medicom.  Each of the figures has a medical theme including a nurse, two  featuring stomach cut-aways (all smiles of course) and another one with “medical stripes”. Due in January 2010!

The first Rose Vampire was released in Monster Family Pack at this years SDCC in an all white edition. Josh Herbolsheimer’s figure gets dolled up for its first full painted release. The Green Hell Rose Vampire is casted in green vinyl with red, dark green, yellow and a light blue spray. This figure is set to release this September.

I previously mentioned about the Hello Kitty Mimobot flash drives. For those who are waiting, it’s now here!

Mimoco has just dropped their first Hello Kitty Mimobot, Fun in Fields. Done in conjunction with the 35th anniversary of Sanrio’s iconic character, this is the beginning of the  Hello Kitty Mimobots collection.  The anniversary festivities will culminate with the Three Apples art exhibit @ Royal/T on October 23rd featuring custom Hello Kitty figures from a top-flight roster.

Evangelion got a relaunch in the big movie screens with EVANGELION 1.0, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This special two pack be@rbrick set features Shinji and Eva-01 Unit with be@r ears!

The long-awaited first and probably only vinyl figure we will ever see from the vivid imagination of Mark Ryden. It has been over 3 years in production and has gone through two different manufacturers and dozens of rejected prototypes. Saying the realization of YHWH has been a bit of a nightmare is an massive understatement!!!   Sometimes persistence pays off and sometimes it pays double. YHWH is finally completed and it is everything it was intended to be and comes packaged in what is quite possibly the most beautiful, elaborate box ever produced for a vinyl toy.

Necessaries Toy Foundation has been bombarded by over zealous collectors consistently for the last 8 months. Vinyl collectors are rabid that is of course no surprise, but fans of Mark Ryden are completely devoted and unrelenting in their quest for any product bearing his name and editions of his sell out within minutes.

Figure is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide. Figures stands 17 inches tall.

Original Fake will soon drop KAWS Dissected Companion Key Holder figures in three colorways matching that of the original figure.  These will look great next to the previously released Companion key holder figures.
