HIRO GRIM

I have been bugging out on the header cards for the S7 halloween toys. The artist Hiro Grim is one of my current favorites. I have a few shirts from him and any toys that he makes the artwork for. I think he has a interesting twist on punky/v.cortland/ratfink/jim phillips thing. Amazing type treatments too.

The toy at the top of the photo is his first toy “Henshin Petite Borg”. I saw the toys on the site when released and tried with all my toy power to get them. I finally picked them up on Yahoo. Over email conversation I sent Hiro a photo of my toys, he saw his Petite Borgs in the back ground and wrote “It’s I and my best friend Betch’s memorial private work for our pleasure. they are made by our hand last year. It’s only 50set(total200pieces) to sell. It’s very rare.”

THUMBS UP FROM SB

I wrote to hiddy with the website link. I was worried he would not like the name, but he wrote back this note.

Hello!! Surprised that you make Japanese toys web site. Lately I have many inquiry from over seas. I am so happy about it. Now I am considering to develop overseas somehow.

Please look forward about new toys. Still coming in this year!!

Thanks and best regards, SB Hiddy

Today SB posted some news for the Guy Redwing’s and Carl Kent-Smith’s of the world. I think I have over done it with the toxic phantom. I think I want one more SATAN KING 12″ suit. Sold at Cure

SPAN CAT and SB FAN CLUB

Thanks to everyone for signing up to the board and the site. I wish I could make it one login, but I am not that tech and I don’t want to pay for a better programmer to figure it out.

got an email from Span of Sunset today saying they got some SB stuff for sale online. Stuff that S7/toy tokyo got, but also them madball cushions. For some reason I think that so so def figure is funny. I keep looking at it.

this photo is from their site. Looks like the new Fafi toys are ready and but it is the Cheshire Cat that is catching my eye. All black(BXH style). I wonder if this is the span version and if their will be a regular version? I am sure that we will see some sort of promotion for this toy. Disney 50th? Did you know SPACE MOUNTAIN is back?

NEW SB FAN CLUB ANNOUNCEMENTS! Brain x Balzac x Scarf? Maybe a kamen rider send up? Whatever it is, I am liking this black/white/red combo.

SNOW TEAM BARBARIAN. Looks like it will be white with a wild paint job under the helmet

I am sure that Toy Tokyo will get these. They have been consitant with getting Fan Club issues. I will not be surprised if they get those halloween ZERO figures. Lev has a way.
