This figure will stand 10″ tall and will be a limited edition of 1,000.  According to WWD, the retail price will be $190, and the figures will be distributed via the tokidoki flagship stores and at select specialty stores for holiday retailing.  The exclusive launch will take place at Colette next month.  Thanks to readers Emi, Alex and Maida for sharing this news!

Reader Tati also spotted pictures of Simone Legno at SDCC wearing a tokidoki x Marvel hat on the tokidoki.it blog and did some digging. She then found this ComicBlog forum post with some additional info:

“…the front of the hat had a little Thor, Johnny Storm, and Wolverine ala tokidoki style. I asked [Simone] if this was exclusively for him and his crew or if there was any future plans for this and he said that they will be releasing tokidoki Marvel hats, t-shirts, decks, etc. in 2010.”

I just spotted the first new tokidoki item of the year, Silver and Pink Glittered Holiday Pumps by tokidoki x Fornarina over at Trendy Stars. The price for both these pumps and the black version that was released a few weeks ago have been reduced by 25% to a more accessible $199 per pair.

I also noticed that Trendy Stars added a new tokidoki Toys and Plush page to their store and is now also carrying the range of available tokidoki toys too.   By stalking their rainboots page I also see that the release date has been pushed back a bit to November, but the wait should be over soon!

He is made of PVC vinyl, stands 5 inches tall, and retails for $19.99.  The estimated arrival date is October 2008.

Starting bid, $500.
