First up are the Platinum Adios and Ciao Ciao figures that she got, each signed by Simone:

Ro Reports on the tokidoki Goodness at San Diego Comic-Con Preview Night

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Last night was preview night at the San Diego, CA Comic-Con, and reader Ro reported back that Simone was there the whole time signing! She said that he was very nice and signed anything you wanted him to, took pictures, etc. The tokidoki booth also had tons of merchandise on sale for prices less than on the tokidoki.it website (like girls’ t-shirts for only $20!).

It also turned out that the surprise for tokidoki fans at the STRANGEco booth were special Adios and Ciao Ciao figures in gray scale (platinum). They were exclusively available at SDCC and had a very small production run (she thinks it was under 500). Ro bought one of each and Simone signed them for her, and she sent in the following pictures to share with everyone:
