Strangeco digs up some old tokidoki Boxed Sets!

Strangeco is doing a spring cleaning and found a few more tokidoki "Till Death Do Us Part" and "Cactus Love" Sets! Each was released on a past Valentine's Day and we of course are totally sold out of them! Highly collectible. Snap these up while you can, this will definitely be your last shot at these particular tokidoki toys!

Blindsided: a 5-part essay on blind-box toys by Jeremy Brautman

I must have a bad case of HUTA, since I missed this last week:

Each day last week, ToyCyte's Jeremy Brautman released a piece of his essay series about blind-box toys. He managed to interview scores of artists, retailers and manufacturers during his research. It's a veritable Who's Who of movers and shakers in the toy business. 

I must say that this is one of the most thorough, well-thought-out pieces of expository writing I have ever read within our designer toy industry. Kudos, Jeremy!
