Purring into tokidoki… Miao

(We’ve moved to a permanent spot in the Internet! Visit us at our new home www.tokidokizens.com as we continue to update you on the latest news on our favourite designer, tokidoki! See you there! )

More reasons to save for a (tokidoki) rainy day… Zakkamono’s newest creation combined with the visual goodies of Simone Legno is now up for pre-orders. Only 500 pieces of the tokidoki Miao and his companion Mousabi (such a cute onigiri!!) are available worldwide and you can also pre-order from earthx’s site. No prices available as yet on earthx but according to Plastic and Plush, tokidoki Miao is priced at USD$80 + shipping.

I haven’t made up my mind yet whether I would want to get this particular toy, it does look yummy and I have a soft spot for lucky cats. I just thought the design would be more more exciting or oriental to suit the toy… hrmmm but it is only limited to 500 IN THE WORLD… decisions decisions…

(In other news, I have placed an order for the tokidoki + devilrobots Plus Robots that we blogged about previously… very excited waiting for the toys to arrive!)

tokidoki: Creative Inspiration videos

(We’ve moved to a permanent spot in the Internet! Visit us at our new home www.tokidokizens.com as we continue to update you on the latest news on our favourite designer, tokidoki! See you there! )

This is probably a gem of a link that i gotta share with you. It’s actually an online special featuring Simone Legno in a series of videos talking about tokidoki, his inspiration as well as a short demo of how he draws his characters! There are actually more videos but they can only be accessed if you are a paying member of the site. I’m actually tempted to sign up with lynda.com just to be able to watch the other videos…

In any case, the free videos are very inspirational indeed (check out the stickers on his Macbook!!) and is a good reference not only for fans of tokidoki but for designers/illustrators as well – Tokidoki: Creative Inspiration

Exclusive Onitsuka Tiger and tokidoki Snow Heaven 72 Boots!

(We’ve moved to a permanent spot in the Internet! Visit us at our new home www.tokidokizens.com as we continue to update you on the latest news on our favourite designer, tokidoki! See you there! )

tokidoki recently announced on their blog that they together with Onitsuka Tiger is giving away 30 pairs of these gorgeous autographed beauties in a contest. This pair of tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger Snow Heaven 72™ boots are the first collaborative effort between Onitsuka Tiger and tokidoki. Specially created for the Sundance Film Festival 2008 each pair is autographed by Simone Legno himself and is not available for sale.

Unfortunately, this contest is only open to people residing in the US who will fit into size 9 or 10 shoes. And yes I am bitter, even though I’m only a size 5 and practically simmer in sweltering heat 365 days of the year to wear snow shoes. But if I can ever get my hands on a pair, it will sit in a nice cool glass case and never touch a square millimeter of concrete pavement. Never.

Well, may the best TKDK Fan win.

p.s. don’t forget to share pictures with us if you’re the lucky ones!
