Taipei Toy Convention...oh yeah baby!

So there we were Anthony and I at the Taipei Toy convention on 11th August in the Living Mall. They had exhibitors which ranged from Medicom Toy and Jason Siu and Co to local Taipei toy shops like Hot Dog Toys and my favourite Good Choice.

Two weeks before the event I had heard about it on the internet...but never did I think we would actually make it there...

We were lucky as we went on the opening day when the crowds weren?t as big meaning more breathing space to gawp at the toys and photograph them from every possible angle! I especially enjoyed seeing the King Ken and the Amos Magical Plastic Band figures by British artist James Jarvis in a place like Taipei. Kinda makes me miss home...and rather patriotic strangely!
Hong Kong artist Jason Siu and Co was well cool with these serious kick ass speaker/toy that I am sure Felix would make Felix dribble! HAHAHAHA!
Hong Kong based trio Brotherhood was ok however they had their limited to 500 pair Levis x Brothersfree x Seven jeans which once again had me falling to my knees hoping that money would fall from the sky so I could buy them! HAHAHAHA...ahhh consumerism at its best...

Anthony however...lets say he spent a rather lot of money...hahaha...I found the Frtenchman stood by a stall with a rather pained expression on his face. I say pained because it was one of a man in love but the love = spending rather alot of the green stuff. After a rapid decision with me saying "go bruv, go!" Anthony unleashed his inner obssession and went for it...bruv...I like your style...just buy first think of the consequences later! He was I am sure shaking inside however it was worth it bruv...it was worth it! I have to come round your place and check those babies out sometime...if you ever let them out of their boxes that is!

So anyways I was at the stall of Hotdog Toys purchasing my bape catalogue when the friendly manager of Good Choice pops up next to me for a random chat...well random man...cool guy though. He advised me about my 'special' disount that I now have...oh yeah baby! Anthony there are new CI BOYS there~~~ you can get a discount~~~ hahaha...

Well after a mass shopping spree by anthony we headed to club/bar Plush located also in the shopping mall. It was crazy we were the only ones in the huge place...well I guess it was only 4.30pm!

Anyways...I hope to go again sometime...
