tokidoki on joshspear: about cactus punk, skeletrina & skeletrino

an online interview with Simone Legno of Tokidoki on JoshSpear - has yielded a few interesting toy-news - with extracted bits as follows:


"JOSHSPEAR: I love collecting your Cactus Friends - are there any plans to add more toys to that series?

SIMONELEGNO: Yes, there are always new Cactuses coming. The next one should be the Cactus Punk boxed in collab with another Punk by my friends Mad Barbarians.

JS: Is there anything exciting in the works that you can tell us about?

SL: Lot of things: New pure branded tokidoki bags (but made by same people behind LeSportsac; same team, same factories); tokidoki denim in Europe; the two cats of adios and ciao ciao called Skeletrino and Skeletrina; a new line of New Era hats; mimobots; plushes; new lines of watches, jewelry, and other cool stuff. Right now I'd like to focus more on painting - hopefully I'll find more time."

... while i doubt (altho i hope) the Cactus Punk mentioned would be this dude (above-image-right) i blogged about before, becoz it involves Mad Barbarians, we can only hope it looks just as cool, IMHO :)
