A week away before the big night.. about 85% of the toys have arrived and are ready to hit the shelves for the event. Here's a little taste of what's landed in Australia recently..

Thanks Sam - two months after deciding to finally do it (after a couple of years of talking about it) and we are finally here I'll make sure I post some pics from the event next week but here's a shot taken of a section of the shelving. We have another wall unit and a standalone set o glass shelving in the middle of the room. These two collectors from Brisbane lucked out and got a preview viewing when they dropped in while we were setting up..

The whole event turned into something way bigger than we expected - the artists sent in some amazing pieces and the crowd was huge for toys that have never been exhibited in public in this city/country. Should have a video up soonish and more photos sent through later in an album on my Facebook. I didn't get a chance to take many photos at all. You can see people's hauls and things with #softvinylmayhem on instagram

Funny you should ask that - I'll cut n paste the post I put up on Facebook just a few minutes ago below. As there are pretty much two people handling everything for the show - myself & Jason - we are fucking dead this weekend after spending 48 hours before the show in the venue setting up. We will sort everything out tomorrow and set up online stuff later in the week.
"We will be sorting leftovers from Soft Vinyl Mayhem over the next couple of days - some artists had complete sell-outs like Ummikko, Tru:Tek, Shirahama Toy (Kumon), RealxHead, and Terrible Whore but please send me a DM if you are interested in anything else and I can look at what we have left before I start listing things in our SVM online store next week - Thanks!!"

Oh man.. I gotta catch up on sleep before even thinking about that.. But I'm thinking maybe an annual thing? Maybe a couple of months earlier around July/August maybe?
Thanks! Glad you guys enjoyed the video - we are planning on doing another show next year but we probably won't do anything about it til a few months into 2016.

Most of them are in the Toy Videos thread here - from memory I had a USB loop with some old Madballs commercials, the RealxHead video from Vice Japan, the HUF factory process video, a detailed video review of IKB toys, the Bullmark factory tour and the recent NagNagNag claymation video.
