Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
The thief struck a Giant Robot art exhibition in SF. Know who this is? This person stole a piece by Susie Ghahremani. Notice the lack of fear or any kind of hesitation. This person is bad person. Could you do this without any hesitation? Would you even think about it? And would it eat you up later? It’s sad to say, some people just don’t care and won’t hesitate to steal from a young artist. Sad times and a sad world we live in. Imagine that this is a stolen art piece, and not a murder, terrorism, war, or anything like that, and yet, this person still has to fuck up something that’s fairly pure. The next video I shot while on Virgin America. Did you know they’ll let a passenger play the sax in an aisle? I’d much rather see a gymnast do flips, or maybe a stripper doing her thing, or how about a skateboarder pushing mongo-style? Virgin America is a lot more open minded in letting people entertain themselves on a plane which is shocking since eventually it’ll cause some kind of problem or complaint. I remember after 9/11 they didn’t want people getting out of their seats. If you hung around near the bathrooms, it meant bad things. Maybe it’s great that we’re more lax, and security is improved to the point that we can fly with a smile and more comfort.

Toy Tokyo does it weird sometimes, but overall, they're hustling and pushing the kaiju. It's streetwear mixed with toys, if that makes any sense. But it's working for them. I'm not sure kaiju fits, but if it's not, they're making it fit. So here's more pics from the exhibition. It's neat to see toys get front and center attention. It's not the first time, but maybe it needs to happen more.

It’s not the first time, but maybe it needs to happen more. The Lord! She likes head. Koji Harmon paints kaiju Kiyoka Ikeda sculpts and paints well himself. Le Merde I know some of you toy folks are saying you’d hit this. This is a great collection of Real Head dolls. I wish I had a collection that looked like this. Whoa, this is a diorama of strangeness

The NY Comicon is improved from last year. That's the first thing worth talking about. Our booth is not among the toy people, which is how we do it in San Diego. I'm not quite sure why, but I think we're happy being near the indie comic book folks, more than the toy folks. I hope the toy folks don't mind. I flew in on the first flight and caught some of the action.

I flew in on the first flight and caught some of the action. Anne and Michelle on west 32nd Buff Monster shows off his kaiju technique Buff in style Jimmy – the guy who comments a lot. He’s a tall Asian guy. Notice the hipster 15 degree clockwise rotation of the designer cap. Kiyoka Ikeda’s Gargamel pieces at the Kaiju event. Toy Tokyo’s space AKA Lev’s Apartment Frites on 2nd. One of the sauces is a curry ketchup, the winner! Night over.
