Coming To SDCC!

Coming to SDCC, the debut of Tokoichi Seiju, designed and sculpted by Kiyoka Ikeda of Gargamel for Cometdebris. This exclusive San Diego Comic Con edition is done in glow vinyl and each one painted and assembled by hand here at Cometdebris headquarters.

Kappa Ten

A few pics from Kappa Ten. There's a nice variety of work at the event, from paintings and ceramic figures, to toys and a piece of kappa skin that guests are invited to touch. Above is Matt Alt's Kappa Machinder, a custom kappa style Jumbo Machinder inspired piece.

Kappa Ten Tokojis

These custom Tokoji Seijin figures are available now at the Kappa Ten kappa exhibition in Ikebukuro. See post below for details.

Kappa Ten

I have just about finished preparing for Kappa Ten. Kappa Ten is art exhibition featuring work inspired by kappa. This show will feature a variety of artwork, paintings, figures, etc. by a small group of kappa-krazy people (including Matt Alt of Yokai Attack). This should be a fun event. I will be displaying a few custom Tokoji Seijin figures as well as some photographs. Kappa Ten runs from July 9th to the 21st in Ikebukuro (click map above to enlarge). An opening reception and kappa-maki party will be held on Saturday, July 11th from 5:00 to 6:30. The party is open to the public so please stop by!

Stupid Snack Award

Caramel Corn has been around forever. It kinda reminds me of Cracker Jacks, caramel flavored puffed corn with peanuts. Not bad. Every once in a while they come out with different flavor versions like strawberry, vanilla shake, and this dumb-ass idea. That's right, cola flavored puffed corn. I tried it just a second ago, it's sour cola on the outside and sweet corn on the inside. I think they though adding a sour cola powder (like that stuff on sour candy) would give it a carbonated taste and feel. It does, but who the heck wants carbonated corn?

New Customs

We just added a couple of custom figures to the Cometdebris online store, check them out HERE.

Medicom Toy Exhibition '09

The annual Medicom Toy Exhibition opened tonight at Parco in Shibuya. Free snacks, free drinks, and free Kubricks! Unfortunately, it was a little too crowded to get a good look at the toys. I did see a Sponge Bob Bearbrick though, and the Where The Wild Things Are figures looked pretty nice.

Arson!

Well it seems the fire that I reported on at the beginning of the month was caused by a young arsonist. A 19 year old volunteer firefighter started the fire, along with around 10 other small fires in the neighborhood after a fight with his girlfriend. Fortunately, no one was hurt. See a news report (in Japanese) HERE.

Tokoji Seijin Sighting

Spotted last weekend. This Tokoji Seijin was caught hunting mushrooms along the Chattooga River in Georgia.
