Another Onitsuka Tiger by Tokidoki that i think i need. argh.
Presale going on now. Schedule to ship out on feb 4, giving y0u plenty of time to add more to this wonderful valentine package you are creating.
Avaliable in limited quanities at STRANGEco's Comic Con booth, Tokidoki's cactus crew: Sandy, Sabochan, Bastardino, and Polpettina get dipped in shimmery vinyl goodness along with the pups. The lucky folks who pick up a rare golden pup'll win a prize -- lucky bastard(ino).

Tokidoki has already collaborated with Zakkamono to create yet another hard to find favorite.

Almost a year ago Simone Legno, of Tokidoki fan girl dimonium, let us here at Okee Dorkee know that a vinyl toy of Adios and Ciao Ciao's kitty Skeletrino was in the process of getting made -- remember that post?

Either you've been living under some sad rock or aren't down (like us) to wait in 2 hour lines...here is (again) another fabulous opportunity to meet mister tokidoki in the flesh, the coolest italiano next to Tony Soprano, Mister...
...wait for it...
SIMONE LEGNO!
he'll be signing showing off the anticipated addition to his vinyl madness...the cactus pups and catus cats this saturday from 7pm - 11pm at Mobius in L.A.
Our homie Simone Legno has done it again. MORE Tokidoki vinyl toys and a blind-box set are heading our way to take the presidential flashcards out of our wallets and piggy banks! I just spent $160 on the rest of my tuition (J.C.'s are cheap, but not THAT cheap!) so how the heck am I suppose to buy all this stuff?
But I digress. The latest additions to the Tokidoki cactus vinyl friends are Bruttino and his feline pal Carina.
Look how cute Carina is! Check out her multi-colored fishbone bow. Eek! Too much cuteness going on!!!
And if you're done collecting the Moofia blind-box toys (like me!), then get ready for these little guys:
Every friggin' one is adorable. You can't go wrong with these pokey little canines! No word on exactly when all these toys will be released, but its expected to be sometime in November or December.
Andiamo all'Italia!
Why? Because Madge says so.
and so I can pick up the following:

[ photos courtesy of extreme makeover, tokidoki, kawaii.vox, arranged by me =) ]On Wednesday's preview night, the mystery behind the special Adios and Ciao Ciao figures were revealed to us . . . or at least those who were at Comic Con.
The delightfully gruesome duo got a complete makeover getting the metallic grey scale color treatment. These were limited to 250 per figure and are $25 each, but somehow Adios sold out and Ciao Ciao remains available. Why is that? Why buy only one? Buy the set! Jeez :P
Con ends on Sunday, but don't fret. We have tons [and tons, and tons, and tons] of things we still need to write about!
In 2004, the online retail store Ningyoushi opened up shop with Double Punch in San Francisco. Before heading to the Shooting Gallery for the Shag show, my friends and I stopped by Double Punch to check out the goodies they had to offer, and boy did we find ourselves in oh-so-cute-things nirvana.
Double Punch has a vast array of Japanese and Western toys (vinly, plastic, plush -- you name it), stationary, art books, art prints, t-shirts, baby clothes, and accessories. Tokidoki, Blythe, Gama-Go, Pinky Street, Uglydolls . . . soooo many things to name and list! It's absolutely ridonculous -- in a good way :)
The first floor of the store is filled with art books, tons of little Kubrick figures and little mini toys lined along the upper walls, display cases showing off vinyl toys and tables with little blind-boxed tokens from here [America] and Asia. There were even little do-dads from Hong Kong Disneyland (sorry, I forgot to take a picture of it)! I let out audible Oohs and Ahs every other second because I kept seeing things I wanted!
Bearbricks, Domokuns, and Gloomies . . . oh my!
Wall of art
Venom and Spiderman figures
A batch of Mini Uglys!
On the upper level, t-shirts and accessories can be found. It also acts as a gallery space showcasing art and exhibitions by local artists.
There was tons of Gama-Go gear up here. I also saw some Gloomy Bear and 12 Grain shirts.
This Gama-Go tote was on sale for $35.oo!
Current art on display by Christopher Lee
I managed to walk away with some pretty sweet swag . . .
Argh...must tokidoki come up with MORE stuff??? my poor wallet...
..at least these wont break the bank...
The Tokidoki Journal is a must have, because...Duh, what else would match a LeSportsac Tokidoki Purse???
Way useful right? Aren't we always in need of somewhere to write? I'd so use this to jot down notes of random ideas I get throughout the day or write down directions or cell numbers or grocery lists or t0 do list or use it as a doodle pad. Wouldn't the fab design just inspire you all day? Hey, inspirations are way needed for the mind and soul. Inspiration and organization ---so many benefits from this measly journal...ha, yes i'm trying to justify this purchase ;) because i really need it. swear.
And since snail mail is always fun to send and receive, the Tokidoki Stationery is a cool way to say hello! This would SO brighten someones day! and heal the world. i betcha.
yesterday, my boyfriend bought himself ANOTHER pair of Nikes.
i pouted,
"what about meeee?"
and he said that if i find a pair i like, he'll get me one...
I FOUND ONE! err, TWO!
That is... the end of waiting for new Tokidoki vinyl figures ADIOS and ciao ciao! You remember - NiNa wrote about the devilish couple several blogs ago. On June 21st, Munky King LA will be celebrating their official release at the store on 7308 Melrose Avenue in LA. And to top it off, Mr. Tokidoki himself, Simone Legno, will be in attendance!
For those of you lucky enough to be able to make it [bastards!] you can find more info on the tokidoki blog.
Girls all over the world have been rockin' Hello Kitty gear since the little feline with a [adorable] big head made her debut in 1976. But some of us have grown older and just don't want to say "Bye-Bye Kitty" . . . so what alternatives do we have? Some of the merchandise at Sanrio, like purses and several t-shirts, we just can't seem to get away with them like we did back in elementary school.
A few years ago, jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino was invited by Sanrio to partake in a collaboration featuring Hello Kitty on her brightly colored necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and hair-clips. The "Pink Head" collection, which she designed to have Hello Kitty with her signature fuchsia hair, was made and since then, she has come out with a few series including Pink Head Mod, Pink Head Bride, Pink Head Rose, and various others including my personal fave Russian Nouveau.
And on a recent trip I took to their website, Tokidoki posted this picture:
I love how Hello Kitty is wearing the heart and crossbones instead of her regular ribbon. And she's right smack-dab in the middle of the Nana and Adios star -- so cute! I'll definitely keep you guys posted about the Hello Kitty vs. Tokidoki collection just as soon as more info about it is released.
