ICYMI: RAKU Wooden Toy by Pepe Hiller

Swiss artist Pepe Hiller loves to create pieces of art using wood. His latest sold out release is called RAKU. Limited to just 5 handmade pieces, RAKU is a 5" wood toy that was priced at only $120 plus shipping. RAKU is made out of a various types of wood, including alder, smoked oak wood and walnut. RAKU also features a brass hearth on it's chest, while the sword is made out a beautiful wenge wood, brass parts and a leather handle.

More about RAKU from Pepe:
"RAKU appreciate the various moods and sentiments suggested by the snow, the moon, and the trees and flowers, as they go through the transformation of seasons, appearing and disappearing, blooming and withering. 
If RAKU uses his sword, he makes it serve to give life to others. And while fought on many battlefields his true passion and mastery is brewing the finest and most delicious tea in all the seven woods. You can watch him listen quietly to the boiling water in the kettle, which sounds like a breeze passing through the pine needles. Legend has it that if you drink a bowl of tea together with RAKU you will become oblivious of all worldly woes and worries."

Be sure to follow Pepe Hiller on social media if you don't want to miss out on any future release Pepe will have.

Infected Dunny by Scott Wilkowski x Clutter Magazine x Kidrobot

Scott Wilkowski creating an Infected Dunny has been something collectors have wanting for a long time. Now, collectors will get a chance to pickup a Scott Wilkowski Infected Dunny at NYCC, thanks to a Clutter Magazine collaboration and a Kidrobot Pop-up shop. Standing at 3" tall, 2 versions are going to be available during NYCC 2015. Available in purple with a green skeleton and smoke with a grey skeleton, each version is limited to just 50 pieces. Priced at only $60 a piece, it's likely that these will sell out quickly at NYCC 2015. For those attending NYCC 2015, be sure to stop by Clutter Magazine's NYCC Kidrobot Pop-Up shop at booth #603. Those who are not going to be able to attend will have to hope for these beauties not to sell out, or hope that Clutter holds back some inventory for an online sale.

Toy Tokyo NYCC 2015 Exclusives Line-up Press Release

Its that time of year again, New York Comic Con, and Toy Tokyo has an exciting line-up of exclusives laid out for our fans at booth 101, October 8th through to the 11th at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan.
Top of the list...this is a big one...two Godzilla Funko Pop! Toy Tokyo Exclusives. Two versions, the 1954 Black and Gray Godzilla, and a Glow In the Dark Ghost version. Each will be $30.





Godzilla Pop! Vinyls...

But, that ain’t it! On top of the Godzilla Pop! Vinyls (which are a super-sized 6 inch figure) and other exclusive Toy Tokyo Funko products, Toy Tokyo is proudly sponsoring 3 of the original Godzilla costume actors at NYCC 2015 to sign autographs. Haruo Nakajima is among the three suit actors, the original 1954 Godzilla. It will be truly an amazing event and honor for us at Toy Tokyo, as well as the fans.

Godzilla Actor Signings...

Also on hand signing autographs will be Kenpachiro Satsuma, who donned the Godzilla costume first in 1984, all the way through to 1995.

And wrapping up the Godzilla suit-actor timeline, Tsutomu Kitagawa will be the third actor present for the signings. Kitagawa first portrayed to coveted role of Godzilla in 1998, all the way through to 2003...probably when CG started taking over.

Autographs by the actors will be available at discount pricing with the purchase of the Toy Tokyo Godzilla Pop! Vinyl exclusives throughout the show. The exclusives are of the original 1954 Godzilla (which according to many experts, the design has “nailed it!”).

If a fan purchases a single Godzilla Pop! and wants it signed by Nakajima, the cost of the signature will be $15 as opposed to $25.
With the purchase of both Godzilla Toy Tokyo Exclusives, a single signature on both will cost only $25, half off of the regular price of $50 for the signing of two pieces.

With a purchase of one Godzilla Toy Tokyo Exclusive, the autographs of all three actors, the cost will be $50 as opposed to $75. A $25 savings on the autographs.

And lastly, the two piece set of the Toy Tokyo Godzilla Exclusives being signed by all three actors will cost only $60 as opposed to $75.

All three of the actors will also be present to sign any Godzilla memorabilia for the price of $25 for each autograph...that could be posters, photos, other toys...whatever the fan chooses to bring.

Millennium Godzilla...

And in other Godzilla news, Toy Tokyo will also be presenting a very limited Marmit Millennium Godzilla Exclusive produced by Medicom Toy Japan. This piece has been produced in honor of Toy Tokyo’s 15 year anniversary!





Ron English Signing...

On Thursday, October 8 Master Popagandist Ron English will be signing three amazing exclusives! One of the pieces is a very recognizable video game star with the distinct Ron English twist (Mario Grin), and the Mushroom Grin. Along with a trio of Star Skulls.
The signing will take place between 2pm and 3pm at the Toy Tokyo booth 101.





Pop! Asia…

Toy Tokyo will also be proudly presenting a selection of very cool Pop! Asia pieces. All available, of course, in very limited numbers.

The other Toy Tokyo Funko Exclusives for NYCC 2015 are as follows:

  • Topping the list is Freddy Funko in celebration of Toy Tokyo’s 15 year anniversary


  • Then there is an old school Battlestar Galactica Lt. Starbuck in a white uniform


  • Partnered with Starbuck is Captain Apollo, also in a Toy Tokyo Exclusive white uniform


  • C-3P0 Hikari, in the Toy Tokyo Exclusive Dirty Penny edition


  • And finally, a Dorbz Ridez Batmobile with Batman



Pricing for the exclusives is currently not available for the balance Toy Tokyo Exclusives, aside from the two Godzilla Pop! Vinyl pieces.



The Toy Tokyo team is very excited about this year’s New York Comic Con, and look forward to seeing all of our loyal fans that have supported us over the years, as well as all of the new supporters we have gained in more recent years.



Crummy Gummy Show at New York Comic Con 2015

DabsMyla's "Trouble Trouble (Mono)" for NYCC!


The duo of DabsMyla recently released their first designer toy, Trouble Trouble, in partnership with Munky King. Featuring 7.5" tall dynamite stick Mr. Freddy Powerful and his best buddy, the lit match Little Sparky, this vinyl figure set harkens back to the Golden Age of American animation, so what would be more appropriate than a Monotone Edition?

Limited to an edition of 100 pieces, this New York Comic Con exclusive version will be available solely from Clutter Magazine's NYCC booth #603 for $80 apiece!
