And finally… reader Krystal let me know that she was one of the lucky attendees to pull a gold cactus pup (which was Bastardino Jr.) and her prize was getting a full set of the platinum cactus dog characters: Popettina, Bastardino, and the 7 platinum cactus pups (!!!). This is a photo that she sent in of her gold pup:

New tokidoki Goodies on the Horizon

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Coming October 1st to Nordstrom: tokidoki x Chooka rain boots! Thanks to Sailaja for letting me know and to Highsnobette for the photo.

Additional info about the boots from commenter Jen: “The Tokidoki Chooka boots will retail for $120. They will be sold in the US and Canada, in womens and kids sizes, with multiple prints. I believe there are two confirmed prints now, the one shown above and also a punk print with a leopard background.”

Coming in November 2008 – a 4th 2008 tokidoki bag print! Thanks to Amy for forwarding me this tidbit from Wikipedia:

In November 2008, tokidoki will release a new print with a New Year’s Eve celebration theme. The background color of the bags will be a combination of dark blue and lovely sky blue with sections of white. The print will feature all the beloved tokidoki characters ringing in the new year by toasting champagne and dancing (you can catch Bulleto dancing up a storm and Mozzarella having champagne with a banana haired cave-monkey). Brand new characters will also make their debut on the print such as baby new year, a John Travolta-like dancer with a disco ball head, an Adios-like dancer wearing a magician’s hat (where the hat is the magician), two mice dancing with one another, a cute baby blue chick popping out of a skull and a guy sporting a pair of “2009″ glasses. The print is bright, colorful and fun: tokidoki fans definitely have something wonderful to look forward to.

Hypequest has a sneak peek of the NYE print.

Coming in 2009: a new tokidoki character will be released as a vinyl toy! Faith let me know that this character was unveiled at the StrangeCo booth at San Diego Comic Con. He’s a monkey named Captain Coco and the people working the StrangeCo booth said he would be due out in 2009. Here are Faith’s pictures of him:

You can also view a video of Simone in the tokidoki studio talking about how he works and introducing the Captain Coco character on Karmaloop TV (thanks, Joslyn).

More SDCC reports and pictures + video from readers coming soon in one of my next posts!

More NYCC 2008 Photos and Review

Friday, April 25th, 2008

I have received some additional photos from NYCC from Iman and Cleofe, so here they are! But first, a really fun review – and video! – of the event from Alex:

“I’d like to share that my twin sister Juli and I were at NYCC this weekend and it was an amazing experience! I actually went to Simone autograph signing on Friday in a Mozzarella costume! Everyone on line for autographs gave me lots of positive feedback, warm regards and even took pics with me :] It was really awesome! By the time it was my turn to get an autograph from Simone I was a nervous wreck ahah. It was incredible though to see how excited he was to see me in my costume. He signed my Mozzarella toy and then asked for a pic with me and such. I asked him to sign my costume and he told me it was hard to draw on. I replied that he could just scribble on my costume and it would be fine. I snagged a picture of him and was very pleased :] While my sister was getting her drawing done, he made sure to point out Mozzarella’s boyfriend, Bulleto to us. We told him that we were twins and that we’d probably start working on that costume next! Then we grabbed a pic with him and proceeded to go buy lots of stuff from the TD booth next to him. Overall, it was a really incredible experience to get to meet him. We wouldn’t trade it for the world!”

Alex also has a video of her meeting with Simone to share – pay close attention to the first few seconds when Simone spots her costume, it is awesome!!
