#TOYNEWS #TodayonTOYSREVIL: May 31/2019 Five Points Edition
Showcased here in this #TodayonTOYSREVIL-blogpost today is the third "Five Points Edition" of toy-news I've trawled thru my social feeds for, (mostly) available at the annual Five Points Festival 2019, the weekend of June 1st and 2nd @ the Brooklyn Expo Center (@ 72 Noble St, Green Point, Brooklyn 11222)!
I am also Facebooking and Tweeting toy news as well, so gimme a #TAG if you want your collectibles shared, cheers :)
While Brooklyn-based Eric Althin AKA @sad_salesman will be unleashing his brand new sofubi FOREST SPRITES at Booth #540 (previously available as resin figures), also keep a keen eye out for the (possible release of?) "SYMBIOSIS" vinyl figure (produced by Clutter), with the packaging box teased directly below ... AND to give you an idea of what it may look like, check out the image directly below that, and SCREAM: I~WAAAAANT!
Comes complete with 3 interchangeable head symbionts. How can one NOT want that? :p
