Another Awesome Find

After being on my most wanted list for about 15 years, I finally found it. The Microman Mecharoid V. Yeah, I've seen it around a few times, often in decent condition and with box, but at prices I refuse to pay. So today sitting on a dark shelf in a toy store I see the Mecharoid V with an unbelievable price tag. And the box, toy, everything is in perfect condition. Crazy.

A little history for those not familiar. The Mecharoid V was released in 1977 as part of the Microman series by Takara. Microman included various figures, vehicles, and playsets, all of which were interchangeable via 5mm joints and pegs. The figures were inspired by GI Joe and are therefore super posable. A lot of the vehicles included wind-up or battery powered motors (like the Mecharoid), making them super fun to play with.

Super Festival Loot

Not at bad day at Super Festival 47 today, picked up a few nice things. The Astro Zombies Skullwings are looking really cool, I found some cheap Microman pieces, and the blank Space Troopers promotion figure should be fun to paint. Also the Escaregot figure by Josh turned out pretty cool. Pretty happy with today's loot, just super tired.

SDCC Closes

After four and a half days, the San Diego Comic Con finally came to a close today. We all had a lot of fun, met a lot of friends and new faces, ate too much, and sold most of our toys. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. In the end, I think we did pretty well. So well we've already decided to come back next year. See you again in 2009!

Some SDCC Action

A group shot wearing Martin tees with Adam and Bwana. Ojo Rojo and Tokoji Seijin sold out! A short interview and another goofy face.

San Diego Union-Tribune

Still at SDCC. Got some coverage in today's San Diego Union-Tribune. I talked a bit about Gargamel, Japanese vinyl, Tokoji Seijin, and kappa. They did a pretty good write-up on the second page of the arts section of the paper. Some good sized photos, but I look nuts. View the article online, link below.

At SDCC

Things are hectic at SDCC as usual. The Gargamel booth has been doing pretty well with Martin's Oni Ojo figure selling out and Tokoji Seijin and the Mini Zagoran Tank close behind. We've been having a lot of fun meeting friends, trading toys, and making new contacts. Thanks so much to everyone who has stopped by. Tomorrow is the big day, tickets are sold out and it will be completely packed. I believe we will sell out of a few more items then, so if you're interested in anything it might be a good idea to visit the booth soon. And don't forget to say hi.

To San Diego

We head down to San Diego today. After the drive, lunch, hotel and convention check-in, we had barely enough time to set up. Today was preview night and it was pretty packed. We sold quite a bit with Ojo Rojo and Tokoji Seijin being especially popular. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.

Nurse Flash-it

Visited Junko Mizuno today and traded toys. We talked a bit about summer heat, art, travel, kappa, and of course toys. She is now working on a My Little Pony figure for an exhibit at the Hasbro booth at SDCC. It's super cute so be sure to stop by and see it. These are pics of Junko's Nurse Flash-it 8 inch Qee figure. And by the way, if you haven't checked out The Kappa Show at Moshi Moshi, do it now!
