Retro toys making comeback this Christmas
It should be of little surprise, then, that vintage toys from Tonka trucks and Furby to Rock ’Em Sock ’Em robots and chatter telephones (dial-up, of course) are causing cash registers to ring during this Christmas season as retailers offer increased “retro” toy selections.

Interviewing Sneaky Raccoon / Anna Mullin
With Sneaky Raccoon's Sneaky Snow Ball just launched at Kidrobot London, its a swell time to roll out my interview with Anna Mullin, which took over a year to materialize! Note that the questions were asked the end of 2011, with slight tweaks and newer questions thrown in the mix, for perhaps a slightly better understanding of one of the more understated female artists in our toy culture.

Haruka Suenaga by Iizuki Tasuku
Weeeeee! Popular Japanese illustrator Iizuki Tasuku-sensei [唯々月たすく] has taken time out for us once again! Even though he is busy working on the next eroge title LOVELY X CATION2, he came up with a most wonderful illustration of Mirai's younger sister Haruka Suenaga.
As you may know, Iizuki Tasuku-sensei likes to draw big eyes which is why his interpretation of Kanata ended up being more well endowed than usual ^^;
This time however, I made sure that he drew Haruka DFC style as I hear that many of you prefer smaller oppai.
There is a poll embedded in this article.
We've prepared some 2560px x 1600px wallpapers for you!
The first one is of Haruka, Mirai, and Kanata in their Summer uniforms.
High-res wallpaper here.
If you are looking for the wallpapers of just Mirai then you can get them from here.
Readers who prefer to have Kanata looking at you all day can get her wallpapers from here.

Akihabara Shops 3
I think I've mentioned it before but when asked where one should go to look at cute girls in Tokyo - I always give the same answer. Its not Shibuya, Harajyuku or Jiyugaoka but in the Otaku haven Akihabara!
As you can see from these photos taken the other day, Akihabara is filled with gorgeous sweet cute looking 2D girls absolutely everywhere!
These photos explore Softmap, Animate, Kotobukiya store, Melonbooks and a look at the Sega Game Center towards the end.
If you get off at Akihabara station and make your way down Chuo Doori Street and keep your eye on the side roads then you will be able to find all these stores.
Get off at the Electric Town exit at Akihabara.
