And speaking of toy prototypes, we are happy to see the Luno toy prototype we have been working with the teams at Lunohod-1.ru finally unveiled.  That’s after the Gooma,  Moon Fox, Moon Cat, Kluth the R’lyeh Student and the Godot.  Wow!

Thanks to Vinyl Pulse for featuring the 5″ Ren designer vinyl figure on Proto Monday.  Ren is the best friend of Treeson and he is one of the characters I wanted to produce dating back to 2006.  Ren was first released last year as part of the mini blindbox series and he remains one of the most sought after characters among the series.  We are so chilled to upscale the figure to 5″ form factor which brings more rooms for detail and sophistication.   5″ Ren is expected to release this Summer.

The wait is over!  The long awaited Droplet Series 2 will be officially released tonight, and I can tell you it is well worth the wait.  If you are attending the launch party tonight, be sure one of the first 50 people to buy a toy, a tote or a shirt (Support the artist, buy something!) and grab the super limited goodie bags with full of niceties and surprises inside.  It’s first come first served, so be quick!

It is a BIG day and I meant it.  Something Gavin has been keeping up his sleeve until the launch night!  I dropped my jaw when Gavin sent me a sneaky peek image!

So enjoy the party, it is going to be an awesome night! And here are a few tips from Gavin if you’re going to the party.

It’s Time to Play!

Super awesome @photonstorm has created a retro 8-bit Droplet game playable by any modern browsers.  Can’t miss!

The House of Liu story isn’t complete without a bad guy! I am so excited to show you pictures of the latest prototypes of the Qing Soldier. We have been working on this project for a long while, the initial concept started dating back to 2008, after the successful launch of Di Di, Mei Mei and Monks. Qing Soldier is one of my favorite character from the story and I can’t wait to see the final production version in Taipei Toy Festival this year!

Tentative release date: TTF2010
Edition of 500 pcs
Colors and design not final!!

I have always been a fan of Veggiesomething’s simple and bold design style. When I first saw Veggie’s House of Liu illustration, I loved it at first sight! Recently we worked with him on a line of eco-friendly tote bags which we just got some first samples to share with you below. Enjoy!

Like the previous Treeson totes, they will be 50pcs edition of each style. Release date is yet to be confirmed, but should be sometime in the first quarter!
