Little Trickers by TOUMA x Play Imaginative
The very first thing that flashed across my mind - when I first peeped TOUMA's Little Tricker (blind-box) series on display at STGCC 2009 - within it's producer Play Imaginative's showcase display was: "I Like. I Want" ~ followed expediently by; "Wow, these little figures are pretty huge!" ~ The adorable-ness and variety of the figure form was a clincher for me (not so a couple of color-treatments, but...). Apologies for my distinct lack of "intellectual dissertation" for this product range - for it has brought out the wide-eyed collector in me instead! :p
Unfortunately (for me) my vinyl-desires were denied, and the Little Tricker series remains my most coveted product for the entire STGCC. If you folks are patient enough, they are due for a delivery/release circa October/November 2009 - do check with your fav retailers for availability.

Don't you mean Ledbetter there? :P
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna need some of these...
LOL. Maybe it's typo ? ^^; but yeah, that yellow + green grabbit... it's JLed.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I also heard this called as "Series 1" ? so does that mean there will be another 2nd release of other Touma characters ?
These are fun again! Hopefully my local retailer will listen to me and get some.
ReplyDelete@Felix & @Lethia > okay! confirmed with PI - it IS Joe Ledbetter's :)
ReplyDelete@Sjors > wholeheartedly agree with you! "Fun" is what we need back in the "game" and this - to me - has it in blazes!
