My adventures are over for now and I can take a breather, I think. Going to an expo overseas alone to booth is tough. You need lots of friends and support on the other side which thankfully I did have and you need to be ok with being a bit of a loner. Which I'm also totally ok with. The expo wasn't exactly a raging success but I did manage to sell about half the stock I brought and considering that I'm new to the whole toy thing, I'm chalking it up to be in the 'pretty good' zone. Saw a lot of nifty 3A pieces, missmonstermel's seraphim toy prototype and lots more.

The new golden edition of Noodles is thus now available at my bigcartel store, link is right here. http://firestarterdesign.bigcartel.com/

Super limited since I could only handpaint so many pieces for the show. Oh and shirts. You should totally check out the shirts. The material and print is good and they look great on you and; look I have 3 shirts and they're all fantastic and I'll be printing more for myself to wear so there self promotion done.

Work wise I'm on some big exciting projects and I hope my company sends me over to sunny California for work related stuff, we'll see how that works out. Need to convince the boss that this is a good investment. I don't think they'll bring me to SDCC but I don't mind if they drag me over to the smaller, nearby conventions. Like the Tokyo Toy Show.
