Re: The Toy Event Listing - added Sunguts Mucha Festa I'm curious and can't seem to find any info, but was there some kind of event that just passed recently in Nagoya? like this weekend past?
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added Sunguts Mucha Festa Yes. It's called the Nagoya Modern Culture Market. That's where all of the Shikaruna pieces on Charactics came from. Website here, but no info: http://www.vita-web.co.jp/ Doesn't seem like a new venue, but some of the sofubi artists have slowly begun selling things there.
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added Sunguts Mucha Festa The sunguts GeGeGe series is awesome. He/They are doing some Miyazaki!?!?!??! One Ohmu please
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added UglyCon NYC Leave a couple for my wife next weekend, OK? She loves her some Ugly Dolls.
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added Sunguts Mucha Festa i'm so stoked i'll be able to make a bunch of these in '09. i missed a few this year by a matter of days.
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added Sunguts Mucha Festa So in the end I couldn't go....anyone take any pics at the Kaiju Invades Miami show?
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added DIY KaijuFest 2K!! Great pics up on the MaxToy blog, check American Idols for the link!
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added DIY KaijuFest 2K!! Supertouch has some pictures up. Looks like there was some killer artwork on display!
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added DIY KaijuFest 2K!! thanks for adding our little shindig, kaiju fest 2k8 next week! not that there are any brainers in a hundred mile radius
Re: The Toy Event Listing - added DIY KaijuFest 2K!! It's great to see a fest in the 'Burgh! Hopefully I can join you guys. Family obligations for the Holidays are making my schedule a bit challenging but I'll be kicking myself if I can't attend. I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys!
Re: The Toy Event Listing - Mucha Mucha Festival is coming! nice! i'll be in town for that kaiju comrades show in March! I'm stoked some type of event is actually going on while we're over there!
Re: The Toy Event Listing - Mucha Mucha Festival is coming! Word of warning - the directions on the map on the Ghetto's home page are wrong. The Ghetto is next to Shin Okubo station NOT Okubo station. My advice is to input the address (in Japanese) into Google Maps. (You should be able to find the address on the Ghetto's homepage.) The map will show the subway station, surrounding AM PMs and other assorted shops, parks, etc. If you still can't find it, show the map to the subway station guard, and they'll be able to sort you out. Have fun - The Ghetto is a pretty trippy place. If Mark's event is held in the same room as the BLobpus Exhibition was, it's pretty tiny. But they still manage to cram a lot of kaiju into the room.
Re: The Toy Event Listing - Mucha Mucha Festival is coming! I believe the dates of the 2009 Taipei Toy Festival are July 9-12. It's grown into one of Asia's premier toy shows, so I hope some of ya'll can make it over. In 2008, we had 20-30 toy designers in attendance (Blobpus, VInyl Junkies, TTToys, Tim Biskup, Touma, Itokin Park, Brothersfree, Ledbetter, Hariken, etc.) There are pics from the previous 2 years on my blog. If you're planning to make the trip, give me a shout.
Re: The Toy Event Listing - Here comes 2009! Glad to help. We should probably make the "master list" open access so people with information about events in Japan, the US, and elsewhere can add to it.
