Meet and Greet @ PI

Just returned from an AWESOME night out with the author of toysetc and Munchkimz, at PlayImaginative, Iluma.

We were there for an "exclusive" PI members Chill-out session with Mori Chack, Simone Legno (Tokidoki) and Shinichirou Kitai + Koto Nishiyama (DevilRobots).

We prepared some SPECIAL gifts for them, and YOU (reader) will finally be able to see that SECRET PICTURE I posted a week ago. :D

We started off with Simone, because he was the most accessible to us; other artists were chatting with the PI staff members.

He liked them so much, he posted them on his twitter. XD

Next up was Shinichiro Kitai, and boy was he happy with the muffins!

Just to prove my point :P

Last but MOST DEFINITELY not the least, was MORI-san!!! He was delightfully surprised to see the muffins!

Yes, be very jealous, he's flashing that Iphone 4 with the case. I'm just glad my 3GS case is coming soon.

It was an excellent night getting to see my FAVOURITE artist Mori Chack, whom graciously drew me Blitz Billy (hehe although I believe he was rather shocked to get the request :P) Getting Simone and DR's sketches were also damn cool. Alright, here are the pictures! FEAST YOUR EYES AND BE JEALOUS MUAHAHAHAHA. [Just kidding :P]

Shinichiro Kitai drawing his trademark TOFU-OYAKO. Love his shirt.

Simone Legno sketching, you can see Blitz Billy peeking through the page before this one!

Author of Munchkimz. And her freshly doodled Gloomy on a very rare Hokkaido Kitty X Gloomy handbag. :D

Just my stalker picture of the day. :D

To check out videos of us handing out the gifts to the artists, trot down to toysetc and check out this post.

Lastly, photo of Shinichiro Kitai "biting" muffins courtesy of toysetc, and ALL muffins courtesy of Munchkimz (Do drop by their blogs, and if you need a muffin custom made you know who to look for :D)

Gloomy at STGCC in 2 days time.

I'm really really looking forward to STGCC this year, especially since Mori Chack will be heading down personally. I'm definitely gonna queue up to get some artwork done in my sketchbooks and some of my non-plush merchandise signed, ESPECIALLY the Gloomy Tofu.

Well, as a primer to his arrival, let's have a look at what he might possibly bring down to sell this year! (Actually, it's my wishlist. :D)

From top to bottom: Iphone4 screen protector, Gloomy tangled up speakers, Iphone 3GS case, Iphone 4 Case, Gloomy ROOTOTE.

I certainly hope he brings the ROOTOTE down for sale, and you can be sure that if its up for sale,I'll be the first to snap it up! The Iphone 4 case comes in red and black variations with the same picture.

Well, in any case, happy hunting at STGCC this coming Friday! Don't forget to check out other artists as well, you never know which might appeal to you!

Kirito (Angelo) X Gloomy Bear Winter Release

The schedule for release of the Winter version of Kirito X Gloomy Bear is out! And it's only available for online pre-orders, however the link to order is not out yet.

For now, here are a few pictures for preview!

omfg so cute!

Turns out Kirito (click on link to his official blog) used to be a member of Visual-kei band Pierrot and he's currently in a new band ANGELO. This is the fourth of a series of collaborations with Mori Chack (starting with spring), and I daresay it's an excellent one!

Head down to the Angelo Fanclub to keep an eye out for the link. Happy hunting! Oh and by the way, it's limited to 2,500 pieces ONLY.

P.S. Just an update but the 9inch Sitting Gloomy Bear plush will not make an appearance at STGCC as the production lines have failed to push them out in time. Sad but true, although not too much of a loss for me :P I will place my cash on the TOFU X Gloomy. Heh1

What's brewing....?

Here's a preview for what ToysEtc is planning for the upcoming STGCC!

I'm working with the the author of MunchKimz and ToysEtc for this project, and I'm very sure that the artists will be pleased to receive the fruit of our labour!

Can you guess what this is?

Post exams and 10 days to STGCC!

It's only 10 days more to STGCC people, so do keep your time free from the 10th to 12th December and head down to Suntec Convention Centre for some fun!

Anyways, forgive me for the long hiatus. So to start everything off with a BANG!!1

STGCC EXCLUSIVE!

This is the other item that you can be looking forward to purchasing when you attend STGCC. While I am most certainly not so much interested in the TO-FU face on one side, I will definitely be grabbing at least 2 of these Gloomy TO-FU's! Limited quantity aside, I am so taken in by the fact that this is a 10th anniversary item, not to mention Gloomy figurines are so damned rare!

Other than that, after purchasing the exclusive and other Gloomy merchandise, you will be able to have them autographed on 11th and 12 December when Mori Chack himself heads down to the convention for the autograph sessions. :D

With these great things just waiting for you to check them out come 10th December, do make sure you make the time!!

Temporary Hiatus!

MUCHOS APOLOGIES TO ALL WHO DROP BY TO READ THIS BLOG!

MY SINCERE GRATITUDE FOR GRACING MY BLOG!

HOWEVER I AM ON A HIATUS AS MY EXAMS ARE ON THESE COUPLE OF WEEKS. :(

WILL BE RIGHT BACK ON TRACK ONCE THEY ARE OVER!

Snap 'em up before they all go *poof*

There is a shop that I frequent to get my Gloomy Bear Merch. And that shops' Seimon-cho. They have two outlets; one in IMM and the other in Plaza Singapura.

This month, they are bringing in some pretty cool stuff that can only be purchased from them!

I've got my preorder down for a set of those lamby looking Gloomy Bears! But I'm still gonna head down fast to grab that mean looking camera pouch!!! These items will hit the stores on 19 November, and yes that's this coming Friday. :)

If you like what you're seeing, do head down to check them out! I won't spoil the surprises that await you there.

Also, for updates, find them on Facebook, and watch out on their blog for their latest updates!
