Springtime Takoshi from Yakimon x Toy Art Gallery



    I'll admit it:  I'm a sucker for a good reality tv show.  Mostly I like the ones that are some sort of competition because I'm always hoping that at the end no one will win because the producers will be disgusted by how horrible all of the people are.  Seriously, it's like they're collecting names for the national douche bag registry when they cast for these things.  There's so many that my wife and I can never remember their proper names, so we just make up ones that are more fitting.  Tough Love, a show about people who can't find success in the dating word, becomes "Unlovables" and we hope that maybe a fire will break out in the house that that can't be tamed.  Are You the One, a dumb show about  idiots trying to figure out who their perfect matches were, became "Sticky House" for the careless amount of coupling that went on.  I could go on and on, but it would be embarrassing to let you know how much of this junk I've actually seen.

    If I were in charge of naming toys, Yakimon's Takoshi would be renamed "Super Hyper Squid Face".  I just think it would be more fun to explain what it is to your friends if that's what it was called.  Regardless of his moniker, you can buy one this Friday at noon Pacific time when they go on sale from Toy Art Gallery.

Takoshi from Yakimon x Toy Art Gallery




    This is my first post of 2014.  I didn't do any "best of 2013" lists or make any new year's resolutions because I was busy yesterday buying cat litter and frozen pizza.  While that didn't take all day, I spent the rest of my time learning who was and was not the father of every child in America courtesy of daytime television.  I'm not proud of this.  So since I should make a resolution, in 2014 I would love to see more people wear squids as helmets.  If you ride a motorcycle, work construction, or just fancy yourself an astronaut, I'd like to see you give this new trend in head protection a try.  

    Ok, so maybe wearing a squid to keep your skull in tact isn't the smartest of options, but look how good Takoshi looks with his cephalopod head piece.  It's called fashion, people.  Look it up.

    Toy Art Gallery has produced this creation from Yakimon and it is ready to stand on your shelf starting his Friday, January 3rd.  They go on sale at noon Pacific time for $125 only at http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.
