TOYSREVIL @ Anime Festival Asia 2011
The aim for the TOYSREVIL booth at Artist Alley for the recently completed Anime Festival Asia (www.animefestival.asia) was simple: Promote my brand and blog. In addition I had whipped up some gashapon capsules with fillings from Cris Rose and Peter Kato to anchor the sales front (the price of which no doubt went over the usual gashapon-fare) and as well an example of 'art toys' I was trying to promote to folks. Paper-toys with Horrorwood made a 'surprise' unannounced appearance (post STCC-2009) and was a decent success too!
Memorabilia from TOYSREVIL was represented with packed bagged-with-header offerings such as Promo Packs and Badge+Sticker Sets (which proved to be the best seller of the event, surprisingly so). Expect some of the products to be made available online at the TOYSREVIL-Shop sometime this week! Well, except for the Free Sweets I was offering LOL (But yes, the free postcards will be available as part of the promo packs).
There was an initial plan to showcase 'toy prizes' for my blog contests such as "My Fave Anime" and "A Steampunk Perspective: Illustration", but in reality, the table was only that big, and as well the ability to carry such a load to-and-fro the event two days in a row might be beyond my humble physically abilities at this time. Hell, I could hardly stand behind my table-display for too long a time, instead needing to sit as Post-Stroke recovery took it's toll (but that's another sob-story no one wants to hear about lol). So I offer my humble apologies to folks who might've found me 'disrespectfully' sitting behind the table instead of jumping to my feets immediately to greet you :p
