Hello present! there are few things that weren’t blogged due to my busyness + slow internet, yes, i’ve been on 90’s dial up speed for a week now, thanks telecom for the crappy service, you inspired me to do a back to the future post! so here it is, seat back & i’ll take you back to the future…

1. ONE WEEK AGO – i received a parcel from china! it’s Mechanical Demon by Momo Workshop!! knowing that it’s also a hand cast resin figure, i was really excited to see others resin toy, it’s a solid piece(feels solid too hehe, damn heavy :P), the tongue came in separate piece, and they even did the prime coating for me, awesome job team momo! what also impressed me is the packaging, they were able to cut the styrofoam into the shape, fits perfectly!! i know it’s common, but for limied number hand made product, how do they do it?!

…gonna start this custom toy project very soon!

2. TWO WEEKS AGO – finally got a RxH Fortune Cat! been looking for this cat in NZ for ages, no luck! thanks to PodgyPanda who got me this from SDCC! yay! it’s actually a clear one, but it lit up with a red LED, looks amazing at night!! 真 :D

3. A YEAR AGO – PANDARA was born in september 2009, so much love and support from friends, toy sites & blogs, thank you all! I’ve made this Anniversary wallpaper for you all! download available from GOODIES page :-)

4. NINETEEN EIGHTY ONE – recently dug out a piece of treasure from my garage, bought 2nd hand few years back, thought it was a junk, never really fire it up, until a recent conversation with an audiophile relative…

my current set up, a vintage LUXMAN amp from 1981, the year i was born, and today’s KECES DAC on top, loving the sound…

…imagine this design in the 80s, pretty funky huh?!

Hello friday! a lucky one!! here’s a little update & none sense from me! ;)

1. PANDARA Baby blue edition near complete! I’m only making 5 of these, and they are close to finish, I should have the preorder info next week!

2. Hollow Threat Samples & joke from post office?!

Thank you Anthony from Poster Cause for this Hollow Threat sample, I know it’s a tough job to print such fluorescent green on paper, going back and forth with printer, trying to make the color as close as possible! (yes its still off hehe…)

and what you see here is NOT A JOKE!! the post man failed to deliver the poster sample, because MY LETTERBOX IS NOT BIG ENOUGH!! i wonder whose letterbox is big enough to fit in a poster!? thank you NZ POST for the hassle…….

3. Goodies from Tokyo!

to make you all jealous, this is what my girl get me from her tokyo trip!! and yes! i’m the luckiest panda on the planet! thank you Amy!

Peko green tea candy! shes so cute!

useful P.O.S….hehe

Left: Ramen flavored candy! just what you expected from japan?! :P
Right: a beautifully packaged Japanese tea!

probably the most useful gift for me? てるてる坊主(sunny doll?)  it’s been raining here all winter, and I really need some sunny days to make my toys(resin hates water!), and it seem to be working, at least for this week… :O


and finally a cute poped head teddy tee from Granigh!
