SDCC 2015: Gary Ham
If you couldn't get to SDCC to see Gary Ham's new creations, don't worry: he also posted a photo of the trio on his Instagram for you. One of the three is actually vinyl -- the Find Your Ohana variant of his Wooper Looper, colored in a shiny pearl blue and purple finish.
But if you love wooden collectibles, well, you're in luck! Gary brought along a laser-cut wooden Hermees wall art piece featuring that adorable little bat (seriously, more Hermees stuff, please) that's a full 12 inches wide. Fifteen went to SDCC and another 15 will be in Gary's shop soon.
Also, Gary brought a gorgeous wooden collectible called Treeboy & Kid, standing 8.5 inches tall and limited to 10 pieces. It's a nice mix of bright colors and vibrant wood tones that just works, and it's something I'd love to have on my shelf!

Top selling toys in Japan for week of 6/29 to 7/5
It was a short break, but it would seem Ninninger is back again in the top five. Clearly Bandai hit a home run with the current Super Sentai incarnation. It is interesting to not see Yo-Kai watch return, or Kamen Rider Drive for that matter. The hobby listing has some returning figures, something we don't see very often, plus a new RC drone that is so expensive it might be a stretch calling it a hobby toy.
Also we've got the top 10 lists for June at the bottom. There's a lot to cover so let's get to it.
Overall
- (↑) DMR-17 Dual Masters Revolution Chapter 1: King Dogiragon!! (Takara Tomy)
- (↑) Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Ninja Ichibantou (Bandai)
- (↑) Shuriken Sentai Ninninger DX Shurikenjin (Bandai)
- (New) Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) - The Hero's Blade of War booster (Nintendo)
- (→) Pokemon XY expansion Bandit Ring (The Pokemon Company)
Hobby
- (→) Saint Seiya: Myth Cloth EX Leo Aiolia (Bandai)
- (→) Gundam Seed METAL BUILD Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina (Bandai)
- (→) Kantai Collection Armor Girls Project Musashi Kai (Bandai)
- (New) Card Captor Sakura figma Sakura Kinomoto (Max Factory)
- (↑) Phantom 3 Professional drone (DJI)
It's interesting to see two card games based on Nintendo properties. We're also seeing the exact same top three hobby figure from the previous week once again. It was either a slow week for hobby figures or those three are just that good. As for that drone, do you remember what I said about it being too expensive to be counted as a hobby item (aside from having professional in the name)? ¥217,350 (US$1,760). Might need to budget a little harder for one of those.
June rankings are as follows:
Overall
- (New) DMR-17 Dual Masters Revolution Chapter 1: King Dogiragon!! (Takara Tomy)

Less Is More When It Comes To Steiff's Teeny Tiny Pre-War Mohair Dogs
This happy handful is the smallest version of Steiff’s Molly the Puppy dog. She is sitting, unjointed, and just a hair over 6 cm tall from head to toe measured vertically. She is made from white and brown tipped mohair. Her wee face comes to life with brown and black glass pupil eyes, a simple black hand embroidered nose and mouth, and the pattern’s typical “folded over” style ears. And she even retains her long trailing “f” style button after all of these years. This little girl indeed is the smallest version of Molly produced (formally documented as 7 cm), and appeared in the line from 1927 through 1943. Pre-war, this sitting brown and white Molly pattern was produced overall from 1925 through 1943 in 12 sizes ranging from 7 through 80 centimeters. She was one of the very first models reintroduced post war, reappearing again in 1949 in five sizes ranging from 10 to 25 cm through 1969.
Molly the Puppy is arguably that most important dog pattern ever produced by Steiff. The 1925 introduction of Molly proved so popular that she is credited for opening the floodgates to a huge influx of Steiff dog designs. Between 1925 and 1938, close to 40 new canine species were noted in the Steiff catalogs after her debut, many reflecting her wide eyed expression, childlike proportions, and happy disposition. These included the now classic Bully the Bulldog, Charly the King Charles Spaniel, and Treff the Bloodhound, as well as some lesser-known designs including Cheerio, the laughing dog, and Putzi, a caricatured standing dog. And despite her advanced age and location on the family tree, this Molly still enjoys a good time; she is pictured here on the left enjoying a "Strawberries and cream" iced tea drink at the Mad Hatter's Tea at the Sanderson Hotel in London.
And what about her size – or lack of it, in this case? She is indeed tiny, so much so that Steiffgal didn’t even notice her the first time she was checking out a remarkable window display of vintage dolls and toys in the shop of a new friend. But upon a second review, there she was, and now Steiffgal can’t take her eyes off of her! (And, according to the picture to the left, Molly can't take her hungry eyes off a tiny quiche from the same Mad Hatter's Tea!)
Ironically, really small Steiff mohair animals can be harder and more complicated to make than their larger siblings. This is because their scale requires especially careful material cutting, intricate stitching, labor intensive turning, and especially precise stuffing and finishing. There just isn’t a lot of “wiggle room” for mistakes or manufacturing variation with these tiny mohair treasures; and because they are not economically efficient to produce, their small stature usually is accompanied by a larger than expected retail price tag. As a result, Steiff created relatively few 7 cm sized pre-war era canine companions; these included Bully the Bulldog, Charly the King Spaniel (pictured here on the left with her fellow 7 cm Molly companion), a few Fox terriers including Spotty, Treff the Bloodhound, and Fellow the black and white puppy. Post war, as far as Steiffgal can tell, the only 7 cm mohair dog Steiff made was Fox the Fox terrier, who only appeared in the line in this smallest size in 1949.
Steiffgal hopes this little post on this tiny Steiff Molly adds a big smile to your day.
