SNEAK PEEK: Kaiju Cupcake by Rampage Toys

First Glimpse, originally uploaded by rampage.toys.

This toy is still in pre-production but it'll be made of ABS in the USA, and that's A-OK with me! (I should stab myself for writing that) Anyway, I've always thought cupcakes were agents of evil, so this psychotic toy speaks to me.

O-No Sushi (Purple Edition) by Andrew Bell (Omochastore Exclusive)

Okay, this isn't a Tenacious Exclusive but it IS awesome:

Omochastore somehow managed to get an exclusive colorway of Andrew Bell's O No Sushi.

I am viciously jealous.

Price is $39.95. Seen on ToysREvil.

Momiji 8cm Message / Friendship Dolls

Momiji are message / friendship dolls that are strongly influenced by the vinyl toy aesthetic.

Each doll is 8cm tall and has a whole personality of it’s own. Each doll has a backstory and they are often fun and quirky and easy to identify with. For some people, I guess. I haven't yet seen a tall blond male Momiji being pulled by a red pitbull while riding a skateboard thru NYC, but I suppose my own quirkiness is to blame for that egregious oversight.

Anyway, the idea is that you buy the doll that most suits your personality or that of your friend, write your little secret message and tuck it away inside the dolls and then pop it back in the noodle box or packaging (all resealable) and then give it as a great fun, alternative gift.

Each doll is limited, so after a certain amount of time dolls are “retired” and new ones are bought out with different personalities and making there more to collect.

Momiji dolls retail for $15 each. If you love Momiji and you want us to stock them, email us at tenacioustoys@gmail.com.
