Back from the Chocolate Factory


The last meeting before Taipei Toy Fest products roll out the magic factory.
New samples were waiting for us upon our arrival, and I was made a happy man.
While the Mini-G project was blogged before, not all variants were shown. Frankly, even I haven't seen the whole line's samples. yup. Timing is that tight.
Today I saw the one designed by Victor aka Marka27.
First time working with Victor and he gave us a colorful mind of his creative mind.



Went to Red Dot after work, as luck would have it, they were catering to a group of Indian clients tonite at the resturant, so an Indian chef was hired for the evening to prepare the special meal. Tandoori Chicken was on the menu, and I was given a taste. Yummmmy.... Ok, next week, back to Masala Art I go! Ok, why am I obessing with Indian food this 2 weeks?? Hey, good eats are good eats!

Devilock's Palmboy

Something we have been working on with DEVILOCK's Endo-san for some time now.
PALMBOY is the Japanese streetwear brand's famous mascot.
I remember collecting its earlier vinyl figures many years ago, so it was fun for us to re-make this character's vinyl, but this time, much bigger.


Along with vinyl figures that we love, for this collaboration, we also produced something that I personally love to wear; trucker caps. We had some fun with the graphics, having PALMBOY lying on our logo block, I'm sure he kidnapped our devil girl. 4 colorways, showing you 3 here. I know trucker caps are pretty much an Asian thing nowadays, but we'll try to make these available in the US too.

300 of the yellow PALMBOYs have been made, we'll have these available in early July, especially at Taipei Toy Fest. If you love Devilock as much as we do, then make sure you don't miss out on these bad boys.
