NEW AT TENACIOUS TOYS: 7″ vinyl figures from CRAOLA & Strangeco!
Avast and Take Heed: The Treasure of Cap’n Rotnclaw is the most elusive booty in these briny seas… This very special and incredibly surreal vinyl figure is designed by LA-based fine artist Greg Simkins, aka Craola. With working claws for extra scuttling poseability and menace. Cap’n Rotnclaw in RED is limited to 600 pieces and Keel Haul Cleg is limited to 700.

Join the treasure hunt! A special Treasure Map is packed in each Cap’n Rotnclaw and Keel Haul Cleg vinyl figure. Most maps are branded with the words AVAST AND TAKE HEED, but a small number of maps state AHOY AND GANGWAY and those are the lucky winners. The Treasure consists of a special limited edition giclee print of Cap’n Bristlebeard by artist Greg Simkins! Limited to only 25 prints, each one signed and numbered by the artist and printed on Somerset Velvet art paper.

TOKIDOKI MIMOBOTS DESIGNER USB MEMORY STICKS

Renowned Italian artist Simone Legno’s Tokidoki brand is crossing over to the consumer tech world with the announcement of the Tokidoki mimobot® collection of designer USB flash drives, the latest entry into the mimobot Artist Series. Legno is joining such talented artists as Jon Burgerman, Devilrobots, FriendsWithYou, and Mori Chack, all of whom have collaborated with mimoco in past Artist Series releases.

Tokidoki, which means “sometimes” in Japanese, was named such because of Legno’s love for Japanese culture and his belief that “everyone waits for moments that change one’s destiny.” After his destiny-changing moment arrived in 2003, Legno went from being an artist who used his website to promote his work to being an artist who was successfully building Tokidoki into a world-famous brand, representative of Japanese pop art and the world’s desire to consume as much of it as it can.

As with all mimobot series, the Tokidoki mimobot Series is available in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB capacities, high-speed USB 2.0, and compatible with Mac, Windows, and Windows Vista’s ReadyBoost technology. The entire series will be preloaded with bonus digital content, ranging from icons and screen savers to rich media, which also works in Mac and Windows environments. There are 3 designs in the tokidoki Series; (l-r) Pastaio, Pirate Nero and Meletta.
