Okay so it’s been a week since my return from SDCC. Typically I would have so much to immediately say… and it’s not that I don’t… it’s that there is an overwhelming amount to say.

Mindstyle had some incredible Stitch customs and some great new products including the Godfather by Michael Lau.

Kidrobot wasn’t so much a booth but more of a perpetual lineup.  I did get a sniff at their new releases from behind glass, but unless I waited in a 4 hour lineup the Huck Gee, Deph & Amanda Visell releases were a no go… apologies to all the collectors.

Strangeco was the most gracious of incredible toy making & distributing machines.  I managed to fenagle some exclusive Tokidoki platinum editions from them. Their Kaiju wrestling after party was incredibly weird… nah it was just incredible with a side of weird.  The venue was incredible too, we need more Wonderhaus style venues in Calgary (it was a well renovated old Wonderbread factory)

Tokidoki’s booth was just impossible! Too busy to even venture a walk by.

Rocketworld had some new tricks and products up their sleeves and we should be seeing more toys from them coming our way! These guys are also doing a fantastic job at providing socially conscious products which support the WWF and everyone on team Splash loves animals so hells yeah, Rocketworld.

Poketo’s team was overwhelming cool, great to meet and even greater to line up as a new vendor.  Plus anyone who carries DGPH is in like flynn in my books.

I thought a strategic visual approach would be to somehow categorize my experience via photos, using my own version of the dewey decimal system (more slideshow and less dewey). So here goes:

First the vinyl!
