Droplet launch shipment sold out!

I'm very very happy to tell you that the initial exclusive launch shipment of Droplets has sold out! Go Go Plastic received 128 Droplets for the launch night and over half of them sold that evening!

dropletsoldout

The remaining 50 or so sold out in a couple of days via the GGP Online store! Those lucky cats who came to the launch / ordered online had their box hand-numbered by me and their Droplet also had an extra glossy finish on, which the rest of the droplets won't have! (although Droplet is shiney already)

Fear not though, there is a world-wide shipment of Droplets in preparation, which will make them available in 15 countries and 54 stores worldwide, aswell as my online store and the Crazy Label online store, so don't worry if you didn't bag one at launch!

Stay tuned to the Droplet mini-site for details - www.jam-factory.com/droplet/

Droplets now available @ Go Go Plastic!

I'm very happy to tell you that the remaining 50 or so Droplets from Go Go Plastics world-first shipment are now available to buy online from the GGP online store!

There were only 128 boxes shipped for the launch night, with 70 of them being sold that same night so they're going fast!

dropletsnowavailable

Each Droplet is blind-boxed and has been hand-numbered by me, so who know's which one you'll get - maybe the elusive black one!?

The little blighters are just £4.99 each and you can get yours by visiting gogoplastic.co.uk/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=48&products_id=586

(Fear not, the rest of the world will be getting their shipments but not until June)

I can't describe how excited I am to tell you that I'm having the launch of my very own vinyl toy in just over 2 weeks time!!!

The launch is happening at the Go Go Plastic! toy store, situated in The Custard Factory, Birmingham (hence the show being called 'Jam & Custard')

The launch night will be the first and only place for you to get your hands on Droplet in his 5 different colourways! Go Go Plastic has the world exclusive shipment and will be the only stockist until June, when the rest of the world gets their shipment of the little fella's!

The toys will be blind boxed, so it's the luck of the draw which flavour you get... Rhubarb & Custard (4/16), Sour Apple (3/16), Campino (4/16), Refresher (4/16) or the elusive secret colourway (1/16)!

The latest Droplet vinyl samples!

I had these colourful vinyl lovelies drop in my inbox this week and I was over the moon to see them... the very latest sample photos of my forthcoming Vinyl toy 'Droplet', being produced by Crazy Label!

I can't tell you exact details yet but they're going to be dropping (no pun intended) sometime in May, so stay tuned for that!

Droplet Vinyl Toy Prototype

Here it is, the latest prototype version of my forthcoming vinyl toy 'Droplet', produced by Hong Kong-based Crazy Label!

I'm so bowled over by these, to hold a sample in my hands is a dream come true, I can't wait to show you the finished things!

dropletprototype2

Like I say, they're still in prototype stage - the face graphics will be different and colours will be tweaked but the shape is done and dusted, keep your eyes peeled for more information on the lil' fella's, coming to a toy store near you soon...

Massive thanks to Andy @ Crazy Label for giving me the opportunity to create my own vinyl toy!

Lennon the Lefty

This is my customization of Hicalories 'Lefty' Vinyl Toy, which was launched in the UK at the Bohdi Gallery with a show to go along with it!

A big bunch of artists were kindly invited to customize one for the show and I'm very proud to say that I was one of them!

This was a combination of drilling lots and lots of indents in him, covering him in metallic red enamel paint, adding a splash of green enamel to the top and finishing him off with an acrylic face!

Big thanks to Alex and you can check out what the original Lefty looks like by going here!

Droplet Vinyl Toy Latest!

I'm super stoked to show you this, the latest stage in the production of my first Vinyl Toy, Droplet! Here's the final wax pattern mould, the definitive shape for the lil' critter, with the next stage being a sample made out of Vinyl.

dropletlatest

This whole project is all thanks to Andy Woo @ Crazy Label, the man responsible for production of Treeson. Droplet himself is going to be tiny (2.5inches tall) so he's more affordable and therefor collectable. He's going to be released in 5 different colourways within the 1st Quarter of 2008!

This really is like a dream come true for me, so I can't wait to see the next stage of the whole process, you can be sure I'll be sharing it with you!

Droplet Vinyl Toy Preview

I can't tell you how stoked and excited I am to tell & show you this... This is the preview for my very own Vinyl toy "Droplet" which is being produced by the most excellent Crazy Label!

This is the 'Sweetie' colourway series as I wanted my first toy to be bright, colourful and fun!

dropletpreview

Anyways, this is just a preview, I can't wait to see him go from 2D image to 3D droplet, keep your eyes peeled for more toy information!

I wanna say a HUGE thank you to Andy @ Crazy Label for giving me the opportunity to do this, it really is a dream come true!

CrazyLabel booth

Being part of the Crazylabel family is obviously super cool as is, but when Andy from CL asked if he could use my 'illy' graphic to use as a window display for his new studio, I was stoked!

I tweaked it abit for him, swapping a few bits for some CrazyLabel love but was super surprised and pleased to learn that he used that graphic to decorate his booth at the Taiwan Toy Festival!!!

crazylabelbooth

Stoked! Thanks Andy!
