Gokuri Peach

I love the bottle from it’s label design right down to the print texture.

Hot Toys Batman Returns

OMFG! Hot Toys announces the license to Tim Burton’s 1992 Batman Returns! And it comes in 1/4th scale as well as 1/6th! I just hope they will give us a Michael Keaton cowl-less headsculpt with this.

Can’t wait till the arrival of my Hot Toys 1989 Batman and Joker.

Tokyo landmark illustrations

Fell in love with this message-less card as soon as I saw it. Love its childlike approach.

Pizza delivery

Every now and again, a delivery Pizza is a must! Especially when you’re feeling lazy and don’t wanna go out nor do anything…

All 22 movies in one Blu-ray collection pack in honour of the 50th anniversary of James Bond’s film career. Me wantz!

HP Sauce and Tetleys tea from England

One of our Brit designers went home for the Xmas holidays and brought me back some good ol’ HP Sauce and Tetleys tea bags. It has been a good decade since I last touched any of these. So goooooooooood…

SKYFALL

Not much going on for the 23rd James Bond movie other than the official website is now online (no real content) with an international release schedule.

Thank god Japan is only 3 weeks or so behind the US, unlike the original Iron-Man and Captain American which was like 6 months after…

The Dark Knight Rises trailer 2

Checkout the 2nd official trailer for The Dark Knight Rises on Apple Trailers!

Another 7 months to go…

Fascination

People in Ginza seemed to be fascinated by 2 cats that are sitting on top of the subway sign. Then again, this is an expensive shopping district therefore seeing cats around here is kinda… I guess… not an everyday thing. Not to mention, cats sitting on subway signs (truth is, they belong to some old dude – he has been putting the cats on various different signs. I guess he is enjoying the attention given to his beloved cats (the cats were clearly not enjoing it)).

Helveticards

One word: S.T.Y.L.I.S.H.
Me wantz a set!
Get yours here.

Men in Black 3 trailer

Very, very, very looking forward to this movie! Josh Brolin as the young Tommy Lee Jones (Agent K) – absolutely the best possible casting.

Toy Sapiens opening

Went to Toy Sapiens, Hot Toys first official store in Japan, today in Tokyo’s Harajuku. Actually, I should rephrase that – I got to the outside of the store… only.

Here’s to the Crazy Ones

The now iconic quote debuted in a 1997 television commercial for Apple Computer. The text was said to have been mostly written by then Apple CEO Steve Jobs. He embodied the characteristics in this quote arguably better than anyone in history. Today it lives on as a mantra for artists, inventors, entrepreneurs and innovators around the world.

My very own Heart-Kun!

Men in Black 3 posters

I like posters but I’m not quite sure why this approach was chosen (could have derived from the storyline). Either way, I cannot wait to see this movie. Men in Black 1 was just awesome and I have been a fan ever since. The second was completely crap, though.

I hope Hot Toys will acquire the rights to make the collector figures – would defo buy J and K!

Tribute to Steve Jobs

Modified my iPhone with a Steve Jobs rear panel…

Boo!

Kurara trying to spook the kids. I’m sure it… worked.
