Dokuronoko & Exclusive-Teppei by Shigeru Imamura x Dive Co for Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Con 2009
The Japanese comic artist and clothing designer, Shigeru Imamura, will release two new products at Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Con for his brand Dokuronoko. (You may remember the prototype seen at the Devilrobot's display at last year's STCC?). One is a capsule toy of Dokuronoko - the strange mushroom character featured in many of Shigeru's illustrations. It will come in ten different colorful designs and one secret design by Devilrobots. - CLICK THRU to find out more!
In addition Dokuronoko will also be selling an exclusive resin figure called Teppei at the convention. Teppei who was once a normal dog until he ate Dokuronoko has been transformed into a punk rock beagle. There will only be a 150 pcs of this limited edition of Teppei wearing a SGTCC t-shirt. Shigeru Imamura himself will also be at the booth to sign the figures.
UPDATED PRODUCT-INFO:
Teppei stands 15cm tall by about 7cm and the Dokuronoko will be 5cm tall by 4cm. The Teppei figure will be sold on it's own, while the Dokurononoko will be made available via random capsules from gachapon machines at their STGCC-booth I11. Price per turn is SGD$2 each. There will only be 25 of each Devilrobots design for the female and male Dokuronoko and only 1000 capsule toys will be made.
And while the large Dokuronoko will not be sold at the convention (possibilities of a collaboration version in the fall), there will be a few T-shirts for sale on-site.
