They always rank as one of my favorites at their Toy Fair Booth each year. Also pretty great to see them expnad to different types of collectibles out side of the figures.Check out the press release we received regarding the new line up and products for later this year.
Received earlier today from Mezo Toys-
“For Immediate ReleaseMezco’ New Line Featuring Domo Bobbleheads and Action Figures Already Generating Early Buzz will Hit Retailers Later this Year New York, NY, May10 2012 – Branded entertainment company Big Tent Entertainment and Mezco Toyz, a leader in collectable action figures, doll manufacturing and marketing, announced a licensing agreement for a new line of collectibles featuring iconic character Domo. The new Domo line, which is expected to hit stores later this year, will include bobbleheads, clip-on figures, action figures, and wind-up walking toys.Mezco Toyz unveiled the assortment of new collectible Domo products to much fanfare at the New York International Toy Fair in February. The Domo collectibles also generated early buzz from some of the biggest pop culture websites including MTV.com and Electric Playground. The new Domo collectibles will be available at specialty stores later this year.
“The Domo fanbase is always hungry for new and exciting collectibles featuring our brown fuzzy friend,” said Rich Maryyanek, Chief Marketing Officer, Big Tent Entertainment. “This new line really captures the essence of the character and that was very evident in the looks of the faces of those at Toy Fair. We can’t wait for the public to have that same amazing reaction.”
“The unveiling of our Domo products at Toy Fair in February caused a tremendous reaction. Fans are clearly excited by what we have planned for Domo” said Mike Drake, Mezco’s Director Of Special Projects. “It is especially interesting to see how many people, even when they are unfamiliar with Domo, are drawn to the character and want to learn more. Domo just naturally makes new friends and fans wherever he goes!”
Domo’s unique look and personality as the mascot for Japanese public broadcaster NHK quickly catapulted the character into one of the Internet’s biggest sensations. As the reigning poster child for personalized, user-generated content, Domo has found a home as a pop culture icon within the online viral community with hundreds of thousands of fan-made images, websites and videos posted to websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Flickr, among others. Now more than a decade later, the lovable fuzzy brown character’s cult status continues to grow with product flying off retail shelves as well as a popular Facebook game called “Planet Domo” available at http://apps.facebook.com/planetdomo.

For those of you following along you may have heard us talk about this particular Kickstarter project on the show the past few weeks, and I know several of you have become backers already and for that I thank you! But if you have not yet backed this project you really need to get on that. With 6 days left to go and just about $500 left to raise this awesome project is close to fruition. Benny and Scott have added all sorts of new incentives and goodies and levels of sponsorship and every dollar counts! So pop over to now and back this one folks! You won’t regret it!
****End Update****

Tenacious Toys has just launched it’s first Kickstarter project in order to fund the creation of the Uncle Argh Noir colorway of the Scott Tolleson 5inch Mini Qee by Toy2R

For those of you who dont know how Kickstarter works this is what Benny from Tenacious Toys has to say:
“Basically, what happens is you go to the Kickstarter project and choose a pledge level (on the right hand side). If the project meets it’s funding goal by the chosen date (in this case, May 1) everyone’s card is charged, we get the money and we forward it to Toy2R to begin production. 2 months later, the Argh Noirs arrive in the US and we start shipping them, and the other rewards, out to you!
There are many levels of pledging available. A pledge of $30 gets you the Uncle Argh Noir figure… higher pledges will get you original art by Scott Tolleson in addition to the figure.”

Tenacious Toys is one of my favorite online retailors and Scott is one of my favorite artists so you know I was right on board for this from the get go but I suggest all on you get on board too. Let’s help make this figure a reality!!

Benny from Tenacious Toys is putting on the Candy Coated Custom Show at the London Candy Company on Lexington in NYC. I’ll start off by saying I’m super excited for this show. First off the proximity to me is awesome and I feel like I don’t get to go to nearly enough shows because the NY scene is so different then the LA scene for example so Kudos to Benny for that. Second I love some of the artists involved. Rsin, Joe Scarano, Adam Pratt, Richard Page, Nemo, and Brian Ahlbeck to just name a few. This is gonna br a great show and I am making arrangements already to make sure I’m there and hope that some of you come out as well!
