Around Christmas, I got a package from Andy, who runs the blog Toys R Evil, with some nice vinyl toys in it. He sent them to me, because I was the 700th @ToysREvil follower on twitter and didn’t wanna make a big deal about it. But I think I can at least write this post as appreciation and of course to show you these little friends and also what I got on our last trip to Tokyo.

Let’s start with this Yoka out of Season 1, designed by Huck Gee, showing a little attitude.

It’s perfect because these are the colours of Frankfurt: black, white, red! Here it is in his natural position.

I found out that there is now a Toys R Evil online store and he even has his exclusive Yoka, that you can buy from there.

He included this vinyl toy as well: Molly Play To-Fu.

“Kids, if you watch too much television, your head will also turn into a TV.” Hahaha…

And then also included was this bubble keychain. :)

So, I wanna send a big thanks to Andy, who really has one of the illest blogs about vinyl toys. If you are into it, you should definitely check out his blog at www.toysrevil.net.

This post here also gives me the chance now to show you my other acquisitions from our trip to Japan last year, as I got these two King Kens.

But what I cherish the most are my Be@rbrick figures from Series 18 and also a Bape one by Medicom.

Chrishimself already told this story about how I got very lucky at the atmos store, as I was looking for the Tetris Be@rbrick and that was the only one I wanted! I asked them if I could just buy the one they had on display, since they only got one unopened box left. (For startest: It’s a little bit like Kinder Überraschung, so it’s a sursprise, what figure is actually in a box!) But he denied, so Chris convinced me to take my chance! I opened up the box and a Tetris Be@rbrick was in it! :) The staff at the shop was also freaking out. Haha…

There are also Hidden Be@rbricks in a series, so they are even more limited. I got this Spongebob one…

…and this one out of the Hidden Be@rbrick Series 18.

And of course, a Bape camouflage Be@rbrick should not be missing.

Here they are all together, having some fun.

And if that was not enough, Chris got incredibly lucky in Tokyo when it came to vinyl toys!!!

Last time in Tokyo I bought a few of the latest series (18th)  Bearbrick’s by Medicom Toys and luckily got this little character.

Its the 100% Spongebob x Medicom Bearbrick

I think because of the popularity that Spongebob has in asia, Medicom Toys decided to release a 400% version (approx 28cm high) of the Spongebob x Medicom Bearbrick.

Would make a perfect decoration for any Spongebob fan.

Colette in Paris stocked a few of those but as always they’re sold out quick.

Another funny Elvis Bearbrick design just to compare the size between 100% and 400%.
