Plugged In

Am sooooo loving this Be@rbrick USB... Not only it is a FUN way to save my Be@rbrick photos, am also happy that this ingenious 100% sized comes in this DARUMA style - one that I missed out on when the regular version first came out.

Taipei Toy Exhibition

A couple of days ago, I happened upon this really cool Toy Exhibition at Misukoshi A9 - in Taipei...  was actually walking home from a frustrating afternoon and came across the EVENTS POSTER - needless to say, my mood changed right away, and right there and then, I was on my way up to the 9th Floor of the A9 Building to take in the Exhibition....

Actually lots to see at this Exhibition....   cute vinyl toys from familiar brands such as the likes of QEE, Hot Toys, Astro Boy, CI Boys, etc...  plus Action figures of all sizes - LIFESIZE even!!!   Am one am not too familiar with, COSMI Toys.   Their goods are new to me...  seems they are trying to cut into the Be@rbrick/Qee market by producing an in between looking type figures - they run the gamut of Disney characters to Marvel & DC Comics Heroes....  They are cute, no doubt about that - just not too sure I need to get started on another collection... LOL!
ASTRO BOY, CI BOYS, Danny Chan's Killer Cat and more...
COSMI TOY COLLECTIONS

There was an IMPRESSIVE section of 12 inch Action Figure Vinyl Toys/Dolls....  from Military Figures to Manga ones; from Real Celebrities to Political Figures (Chairman Mao, Obama, Jay Chou, James Franco, etc); and of course, dolls from popular films such as Star Wars, Marvel Movies (Iron Man, Batman, etc), Scream, and even a few Jim Carrey movies such as Ace Ventura, Mask, and as The Joker....  These figures were made by various different companies...
Jim Carrey From The Mask, Ace Ventura, and as the Grinch!

BATMAN FIGURES

An added Mini Exhibition was on hand, as well.. located just the floor below with easy access escalator to take you there....  This one focuses on Anime/Manga Figures - in many different sizes....  such a GREAT Treat seeing all these UBER COOL, CUTE & FUN figures - of everyone's most loved Anime/Manga characters...
