There is a new tokidoki blind box series coming out in spring 2009 – tokidoki Frenzies! They can be used as keychains, zipper pulls, or phone charms and come in over 20 different styles. Thanks to Cecilia for the info and for pointing out that they are available for pre-order now on Tenacious Toys, which is where I snagged the photos below from.
BOSTON, MA – 1/21/2009 – Simone Legno, creator of the iconic fashion brand tokidoki, has created a special limited-edition Valentine’s day collaboration with Mimoco arriving today. The most popular character from the tokidoki for MIMOBOT® series of designer USB flash drives, Meletta, is now available in a romantic-yet-hardcore pink and black colorway for fashion-tech-lovers everywhere.
The first tokidoki for MIMOBOT collection debuted in April 2008, and has since represented a crossover in the worlds of pop fashion and consumer electronics. The series consists of three characters, including a pirate, a demonic chef, and Meletta, the plucky young lass with a monkey on her head. Representing Mimoco’s first venture into the fashion world, the series has gained a loyal following from both the tokidoki and MIMOBOT camps alike.
Launching alongside the Meletta colorway is Mimoco’s new Spacesuit protoHoodie™ Keychain Accessory, a re-imagining of the Original protoHoodie™, now with a clear vinyl shield protecting the entire MIMOBOT from harsh Earth elements while providing a clever and secure method for transporting MIMOBOT flash drives on keychains, lanyards, backpacks , etc.
To purchase , visit the MIMOBOT online store or call 1.888.MIMO.BOT.

*adds to Chrimas wishlist*
Reader Emi let me know that Highsnobette has photos of some upcoming tokidoki goodies from the Magic’s Pool show posted on their blog. It looks like the rainboots that I posted photos of in the post immediately below this one were at the show, along with new tokidoki bag styles in new prints, hoodies, t-shirts, Fornarina heels, and headphones(!).
Edit: Photos removed per request of tokidoki.
Vicky from Chicki sent me some photos of some tokidoki journals, stationery, binders, pencils, and pencil sharpeners that are coming soon to the European market.
She also sent me two swatches of new European winter jackets that are coming soon.
Chicki will be adding new t-shirts and belt buckles to their shop soon, followed by the arrival of Bulleto, and then the winter jackets and stationery items.
Remember the two new tokidoki posters that I blogged about in my SDCC 2008 Wrap-Up post? Reader Tamra just let me know that the posters are available for purchase now in the tokidoki online shop. Each poster is 27″ x 40″ and retails for $25.
Karmaloop just added a new page called tokidoki Bags & Accessories that has 3 watches on it so far, including the super-cute new Adios and Ciao Ciao sushi watch. I am very tempted to break my ban and get it since it is 20% off with a Karmaloop rep code at checkout!
Today marks the official announcement of the tokidoki mimobot collection of designer USB flash drives designed by Simone Legno and produced by mimoco. The release date will be April 18th at New York Comic Con! Simone will be there signing at mimibot’s booth #857 on Saturday from 2-4pm only – he will sign one customized vimobot vinyl art toy for the first 100 people to sign up. Mimoco will be opening up for preorders on their website starting today, and orders will begin shipping April 18th.
They are all so cute, it’s hard to pick a favorite!

Reader Jessi let me know that there is a new 2008 tokidoki journal design coming soon that is available for pre-order on Amazon and TFAW.
Jessi also told me that the Waikiki LeSportsac in Hawaii still has a lot of Paradiso bags left, and that a sales guy there told her that he was expecting future shipments of tokidoki for LeSportsac bags in Inferno, Pirata, Famiglia, Tutti and Spiaggia. She thinks he might have also mentioned L’Amore. Has anyone heard anything else like this? The store is located at 2234 Kalakaua Ave. in Honolulu, HI and the store number is (808) 971-2905.
UPDATE: According to ihatetDfakes, the Inferno re-release is today!
