[Update: More images added!]

We've known about her even since she emerged at WonFes, and she popped up for a very quick cameo in Kahotan's preview of Ryuko. Now though we've got our first full-on look at the painted version of Nendoroid Mako, courtesy of Good Smile Company's newest NicoNico broadcast.

Though it's no surprise to see Mako done up in her finest, this shot does confirm a few things. We've got her trademark index finger gesture, and also the inclusion of the Mankanshoku family dog Guts, complete with hoody and plate of food. That's a cool bonus for a character who might have been a little light on them otherwise. More Mako as soon as further details emerge.

#flashbackfriday: My 1996 Catalog

$

"Geekdom" ruled my world in the 1990s (not to mentioned "now", as it has complete dominion over my Universe LOL). In my 'then' job designing for television, and fresh from my Interior Design ("Junior", thanks) tenure, I spent my Sundays down at the Substation at the Sunday Flea Market (and subsequently at Clarke Quay), hawking comicbooks, trading cards, and toys - no doubt to the dismay and disappointment of my (ex) girlfriends, who no doubt wonder why I wanted to spend my free time doing this, then spend time with them … not that I am "proud" of that fact, I insist …



Be that as it may, I was not just fanatical about "buying" and collecting stuff, I was always quite keen on the notion of "selling" them! Before I could afford credit card(s) and discovered Ebay, subsequently fall head-down to financial ruin - I made self-published "catalogs" too - which I had snail-mailed to folks, whose address I can collected and asked for at my flea market stalls!

Those where fun days. Posted here are snaps of my mailer catalog from 1996, which I managed to dig out of storage (and more posted HERE on my FB album), featuring simple desktop layout and designs, zeroed and hand-stapled, and a hell-heckload of archiving and cataloging!

Well, there was less "distractions" then other than embracing the hobby you loved :)

Nearly two decades on, they are still crisp (not "creasy") and had been kept relatively snugged in their manila envelopes packed eons ago!


That is not to mean I had been a wildly successful salesman though! But the reality is, if you do not promote yourself and your works, how can people get assess to it?

In the late 90s, internet was not as prevalent is it is rampant now. Newspapers and print ads in publications was where the information was at. I remembered beyond all this direct-to-person mailers, I had spent some money and time running ads in the (weekend) newspapers, for once-a-month sales events at the flea market, and they worked! Which in tangible terms. meant I turned a decent profit, even after deducting the cost of advertising LOL

These days, with the information highway a deluge of eye-candy and text-flood of How MANY? How MUCH? WHEN? - it has become a constant fight to get your works out there, even as a blog, much less an artist whose works needing to be seen by the masses, niche or otherwise.

Max Factory shows off figma Ryuko, teases figma Mako

In the same stream where we got a look at Nendoroid Mako, the fine people over at Good Smile Company bought in their Max Factory compatriots for a quick preview of figma Ryuko, who I'd suspect is pretty close to opening for orders. We get to see some nice all-around shots and a hilariously over-the-top shouting face that's very much in character. There's also a look at an additional accessory, her Scissor Blade in extended 'decapitation mode'.

At the end of the segment, the team also showed off a MYSTERY SILHOUETTE teasing what's coming next. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to work it out - that exceptionally round head all but confirms figma Mako Mankanshoku is on her way. You could never separate these two after all.

IDW Arcee Upgrade Design Art From Alex Milne

Alex Milne has posted to his DeviantArt page his original design for Arcee's new body that debuted in Chapter 10 of Dark Cybertron. Of particular interest with this is Milne's own note that he has not even seen the upcoming Arcee toy, and instead based this new form on early stage concept art that the toy itself might be developed from. So it looks like the comic may not have been our sneak peek in to the highly anticipated Arcee quite as much as we thought! Keep reading to see the image!

Thanks so much to everyone who entered this month's Tomopop Micropixel contest. The theme was Girl Power, so the focus was all on female figures. I loved every submission, so it was really hard to pick a winner.

Still, our Tomopop panel of judges couldn't resist a group of gun-toting girls. So our winner is miletangerine! You will be getting Kaiyodo's Sci-Fi Revoltech Sulley and Mike.

Please email me at Vanessa@tomopop.com with your name and address. Look out for next month's contest where we'll be giving out even more cool stuff.

There’s been a trend of late among North American toy manufacturers to either move manufacturing back home or to stay put entirely.
