    6 Nov 2009 | 2:00 pm
    ToHeart 2's Tamaki is such a lovely girl, but she can be classy or totally trashy depending on the interpretation. I happen to really like Max Factory's newest take on the character, which is 1/6 scale and has quite the rack to boot. It's a wonder she can even hold onto all that boob. She looks awfully peaceful about it, considering how she could spill all over the place at any given moment.She's due out in April (Hobby Search preorder here) and will set you back 7,961 yen (about $88) if you want to add her to your collection. One thing I really dig about this figure is that she isn't quite…

His creation, GUARDIAN, is one for the ages, as I just love how it turned out.The designs he cut out and placed on the Munny look fantastic, and I adore the 3-D look it has to it with how the pieces were placed. The wings also look stunning, and I'm in love with the style it was done in completely. It's another hit out of the park for MAD, and you can check out some more of his photos over on his Flickr page.

I sent the plush that goes with these tags off to gallery hanahou, for the 3rd annual Luv-able Hug-able Show at the gallery in December. One more deadline crossed off the list. :) I will post more pictures of the actual plush once I have a few moments to spare. I am in the middle of major crunch time, so this post is necessarily brief. If you are in the New York City area this December or January, go and check out the show, the artist list is awesome- and the plush is guaranteed to make you smile. Have…

Thanks to my generous mother-in-law I am now the proud owner of her old table, which my father-in-law built for her 30 years ago. (She upgraded to the amazing Pfaff creative vision 4.0 mammoth embroidery machine, and it wouldn't fit in her old table.)

    Not "Wings" as in the band, or "wings" as in buffalo, but wings as in flying. :D More WIP pictures. I'm working on my pieces for the Luv-able Hug-able Show at Gallery Hanahou in December, and these little pieces go with that. They are a time consuming but integral part of my plush designs for the show, so what can I do? I love the feel of minky- it's SOOO soft and cuddly, but it creates an ungodly amount of fluff that gets everywhere- including your nose, lungs and eyes. It's just one of the occupational hazards of being addicted to plush making. The end result is worth all the irritation…

    I love Hello Kitty! I really feel like she is the reason why I love toys. Every time we would go to a "cool city" as a kid, I would buy Hello Kitty items and got so excited. I actually used to work at the Sanrio store in SF making gift baskets which was pretty fun considering I just sat in the basement and got to be creative a little bit. Anyways, Hello Kitty is celebrating her birthday this month and there is a great article about her creator, Yuko Yamaguchi. I used to think we had the exact same DOB but now I am unsure. The days might be different. Anyways, Happy Birthday to her!

    4 Nov 2009 | 7:01 am
    Since I began making my dolls and dollhouses I have gotten the chance to create some pretty neat things - from bringing life to an old wool sweater that hadn't been worn in years to turning a child's drawing into something they can hold and cherish. Recently I finished up a toy line for the music duo Renee & Jeremy and I think this unique collaboration is up there with the coolest things I've gotten to make. All the items I created were inspired by the awesome animation for their music video for "It's a big world" and the illustrations on their website, both done by artist Hsinping Pan.

  • BATMAN CUSTOM TOY: Mr. Potato Head is The Caped Crusader!

    6 Nov 2009 | 10:34 pm
    In the last few years Hasbro has totally revamped their Mr. Potato Head toy figure line by making him into licensed characters. There have been ones of The Transformers, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, KISS ( Rock Group ), Santa Claus & they even recently starting doing Sports Teams. But because Mattel has the license to exclusively make Batman figures they will probably NEVER make one of our favorite Dark Knight. Well, that's a total shame because check out this amazing BATMAN Custom Toy done by our friend Matt! One night Matt & his 2 brothers decided to totally customize some Mr. Potato…

  • ADAM WEST: Family Guy + 1966 Batman = WIN!

    6 Nov 2009 | 10:11 pm
    Adam West revamped his website & there's even a few brand-new autographed photos you can buy. One that I thought was pretty cool is this image of him as Mayor West dressed like Batman with Brian as Robin, The Boy Wonder. It combines 2 different TV Shows he has done, Family Guy & 1966 Batman. Actually he still does Family Guy, but you know what I mean. This image is pretty funny! You can visit his site by clicking HERE!

    OK, These photos are pretty funny and, yes, it might be a situation where "you had to be there", but I think it's totally hilarious! These 2 pics were sent in by our friend Dave who said he was just traveling down the street when all of a sudden he & his Wife saw Batman's Car going down the street!!

  • Gerry's JOKER Costume ( The Dark Knight Movie - Heath Ledger Version )

    5 Nov 2009 | 11:25 pm
    Since Halloween is over, & many people didn't get dressed-up until then, we have been getting a few photos from Bat-Blog Fans who wore costumes of their favorite Batman characters. That's awesome! Like, just the other night we got these cool pics from our friend Gerry who became The JOKER this year. He chose the "Heath Ledger" version from The Dark Knight movie. Both the costume & make-up are extremely well done but the neat thing was he went to a party that had a Professional Photographer. I like how you guys sort of replicated some famous movie images.

  • New Learn Article: The Evolution of the Typewriter

    2 Nov 2009 | 1:09 pm
    You can use your computer to play games, type homework and even read this blog, but have you ever wondered what people used before the computer? Why are your keyboard's keys arranged the way that they are? We can thank the typewriter for leading up to the existence of the personal computer. It is commonly believed that an Italian built the first typewriter for a blind Countess in 1808. With a cluster of keys and the paper hidden from the typist, the typewriter wasn't perfect, but it certainly sparked a revolution. With the need for speed and automation, the typewriter further developed into…

  • Marlo's Drawing

    9 Oct 2009 | 5:29 pm
    Marlo sent us this fantastic drawing of her Chevron Cars idea. This awesome ambulance's name is Abby Ambulance. With a cross on the side and sirens on the top, this little ambulance seems ready to zip around town to help anyone in need. We love Marlo's attention to detail--she included "2009" and "Techron" on the back. Marlo even drew a gurney to help transport people to and from Abby Ambulance! We think Abby Ambulance would make great friends with Patty Patrol and Fuller Fire Truck. We also think Abby Ambulance would get along very well with our newest Chevron Car, Devotion, because they're…
