Tokidoki Announces New Collectible Phonezies

Tokidoki is one of my favorite brands for their uniquely fun and ridiculous character designs. I am a sucker for their products, everything from sweatshirts to toys, and especially their line of Marvel cell phone charms. (I admittedly bought countless secret boxes until I had them all). Now here are even MORE irresistible accessories for me to collect:

Tokidoki, the pop culture brand meaning “sometimes” in Japanese, is thrilled to introduce its first-ever collectable character Phonezies; fun accessories for smart phones.

Tokidoki ‘s most popular characters now have a new place to sit.  Each Phonezie is .75” PVC plastic sold in a blind Mylar envelope promoting collectability of all 12 characters.  MSRP is $3.95

Phonezies are available now at specialty stores nationwide, tokidoki ‘s LA store and tokidoki.it.

A Look Back At Better Times: #NYCC 2011

This is my last week of classes for this semester, also known as hell week full of cramming for exams and doing pointless projects. In lue of this misery I figured I could take a moment to reminisce on better times: Like Comic Con!

Thursday: The best part of the new added Thursday is how empty everything was. It was worth going just to see the floors and the booths without the over packed “This is SUCH a fire hazard!” feeling. The artist alley was near empty with no lines for all the incredible people that made appearances. Simone Legno, the Italian creator and artist of the phenomenon Tokidoki, was all by himself at the company's booth. Being a huge fan of his Marvel work I kinda fangirled out, asking him to draw me a sketch of his Captain America. Legno was more than happy to (even saying that Cap was his favorite one) which caused me to go buy the same t-shirt he was wearing.
