HUGE tokidoki x Sephora Cosmetics & Accessories launch

So yesterday there was a giant launch of tokidoki's new line of cosmetics and ladies' accessories for Sephora. You can get more info and buy the stuff at Sephora's website in the new tokidoki section. This should make a LOT of you TD-heads giddy with joy! A while back, Simone was given his big break by being "discovered" (or rather, mass marketed) by a cosmetics company, so it's only fitting that he would collaborate with a global cosmetics giant like Sephora.

Below are the Bellissima Makeup Bags:

I love tokidoki but this ain't no cosmetics blog so I'm not going to post all of the products here.

SNEEK PEAK: Lunartik in a Tiny Cuppa Tea

Tiny Cuppa Tea R&D - Final Assembly, originally uploaded by Matt JOnes aka Lunartik.

We are big fans of the beautiful full-size Lunartik in a Cuppa Tea designer toys by Matt Jones from the UK.

Matt has been cooking up a small follow-up to the Lunartiks: the Tiny Cuppas are almost ready to begin production at the factory!

These miniature versions of the Cuppa toy will surely enjoy widespread popularity once they're released... with a lower price, they'll be even more collectible than the full-size Cuppas, and they're ridiculously cute to boot.

Tea time!

SNEAK PEEK: Closer look at Art Hustle cards

I was fortunate to recently meet up with Simeon Lipton, creator of upcoming Art Hustle art cards, and I scored some prototype cards from the series:

Above pictured are the following cards (double click on the image to see a bigger version):

Kozik, Dehara, Bill McMullen, Ron English, TOOFLY, Buff Monster, Tara McPherson & Alex Pardee.

The Art Hustle is a set of artist and art-based trading cards, and exhibits an international group of 75 artists working in street art, toy art, kaiju, sketch, illustration, painting, aerosol art, poster art, tattoo art, digital art, collage, sculpture, photography and more.

Inspired by trading cards produced from the 1960's through the 80's, the set offers up some vintage-inspired flavor including chipboard card stock and the much-loved wax paper wrapper.

The Art Hustle is a new frontier in Art and Trading Cards, and a hell of a lot of fun. Boxes are limited.

Kaiju Cupcake prototype by Rampage Toys

Friends, originally uploaded by rampage.toys.

"Here's the long awaited prototype! As you can see the Rampage Toys Kapukeeki Kaiju is roughly the height of a S7 Steven, and MUCH bigger than a devil robots mini tofu."

This is a great concept, I'll get some to sell at Tenacious Toys!
