People who really need to be thanked in greater detail but I’m at a liitle loss for words right now: Mark Nagata, Yo Miyamoto, my wife, all of the amazing artists, our friends who lent a hand, our staff, Joe Somers aka Squibbles Ink, Geozilla for the really cool show cards and the drink I really needed last night and, most of all, everyone who came out last night.
I’ll be posting images and a re-cap relatively soon but today is a day of recovery for me. Any exclusives that are left will be available for purchase on our website on Monday evening (sorry, I don’t have a specific time just yet).
We’ll be back with Toy Karma 3 in two years!

I am sorry this has taken me so long to post, but I have finally calculated the pricing on the exclusives.The dollar to yen conversion right now and the inflated price of shipping is making these a little more expensive than I would like, but I hope you find these prices reasonable at least.

Charactics Bop Dragon – $85
Elegab Shuttlegon – $135

OK, here we go…these are the last two exclusives to be announced for TK2….
Glow in the Dark Shuttlegon by Elegab
And boy does it glow!
And last, but not least here’s the Big Muscamoot, TK2moot Version, by Chris Ryniak for The Lake Monsters. For those of you that didn’t know…The Lake Monsters is one of our projects (Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi). Pretty much ever since we did Toy Karma the first time we’ve wanted to start making some of our own monsters. I’m glad to say that we’re doing it and, I think, doing some pretty cool stuff. Huge kudos to Chris Ryniak for providing a big chunk of the inspiration and talent to get this project rolling.
And….there are actually a couple more figures in the works for the Lake Monsters…if you look closely at a couple of the exhibit pieces in TK2 you might even get a hint at what is to come!
We’ll be posting pricing info on all of the exclusives later today/early evening. Thanks for your patience and, hopefully, see you at the opening on Saturday!
