My little Pony
Recently I have been watching the back episodes of Toy break, as I have only been tuned in for the last 6ish months I wanted to do a bit of catch up on what’s been going on…
So I was watching Episode 54 and Ayleen talked about DIY My Little Pony’s by Hasbro… I got excited so I clicked on over to see if they are still available and low and be hold prase the lord they are…. So here the link
These Pony’s are cheap too just $4.99 and are exactly the same as your standard My Little pony, and don’t worry lads if you really want one and think they are too girly, just butch em up with some guns or something. A cool addition to anyone’s Empire don’t you think
I think I’ll be grabbing some to use for some of my own customizing practice…
If you really like them and are short on customizing ideas, which I’m sure your not, but just in case pop on over to Mari Kasurinen deviant ART page for some inspiration and just to see some awesome custom pony’s like these guys below...
Thanks Ayleen and George for the heads up on these cool customizable figures.

Mighty Muggs
Mighty Muggs are another blank or platform toy available on the market from the guys at Hasbro.
These guys have been available for some time now both as painted figures and as blanks. While Im not a big fan of this particular figure because I think its a little expensive at
$9.99 for what you get, I wanted to put it up here all the same. The blank customizable Mighty Muggs are available in black and white colour ways as shown in the pictures. As I have never actually had one of these guys in my paws I dont know what size they are, but i'll find out and update that info soon.
These guys are available online at...

This weekend was a special weekend here in Tokyo for any and all who might be arty types or friends there of because this weekend was Design Festa weekend.... and it was Totally Awesome!!!!
However as it is 11pm here and I spent the whole day today padding around the masive Tokyo Bigsite talking to funky arty people and taking photos like a crazy tourist, after staying up half the night with the Toy Break crew on there 24 hour telethon thingy (which I also need to give you a run down on)........I’m shagged (the tired kind, if you’re Australian and reading that word differently). So I will be back later this week with more info for your pretty eyes to gobble up as well as photos and a heap of cool websites of amazing Japanese artists, a rad comic illustrator and some wicked toy designers… Yay!!!
So stay tuned folks...
Have a great start to the week... go kick some ass and enjoy!
