RokuToys @ WonderCon 2010
Posted: Mar. 29, 2010We'll be attending WonderCon 2010 in San Francisco Friday through Sunday (April 2-4). Be sure to stop by booth #214 to say hello. We'll be giving away posters and stickers and we'll have select products available for sale at special "WonderCon" prices.
We're pleased to announce that we've secured licensing rights for Usagi apparel!!!
Posted: Mar. 21, 2010For our first run of clothing, we plan to craft shirts utilizing designs that we believe will appeal to the hard core fan base. In addition, we also plan to create a batch utilizing designs geared towards a more "general" audience.
We hope to sell our first batch of shirts at SF Wondercon (April 2-4). Keep checking our website for news on what we have in plan for our Usagi line of clothing.
We just wanted to post a quick note to give a big THANKS to all our customers who have placed their orders and to share some news with all of you.
Posted: Jan. 26, 2010We have some good news and we have some bad news.
First, the bad news: We've sold out of our individual Miyamoto Usagi statues (Standard and Exclusive editions). Also, we will no longer be offering the "Full 6 Statue Standard Edition Set". Moving forward, the only way to obtain a Miyamoto Usagi figure is to purchase the "Full 6 Statue Exclusive Edition Set".
Now, for the good news: We're giving away prizes!!! Our first winner, Alfred Yee, was the very first person to place an order with us. Alfred's prize? He'll be allowed to choose one Standard edition statue.
We plan to give away more individual statues as prizes and in a few months we plan to raffle off an "Full 6 Statue Set Exclusive Edition". We have yet to work out the details but rest assured that if you've made a purchase with us, your name will be "in the hat". Stay tuned over the next upcoming weeks for more info.
All for now. Again, a big, big THANK YOU to all of you who have placed your orders.

Usagi Yojimbo Series One Delayed till January 2010
Posted: November 30, 2009 |
Yes, we know it's a drag and we're very, very sorry for the delay. Due to unforeseen manufacturing circumstances, the release of the "Usagi Yojimbo - Series One" collection will be delayed until January, 2010. We were on schedule to begin shipment of the products by the end of November but the hard-working folks at our manufacturing facility encountered problems in constructing the interchangeable eyebrow and eye patch for the Katsuichi maquette. In order to avoid potential defects and the possibility of a product recall, we made a last minute decision to alter the production of the Katsuichi maquette. As it stands, we plan to have both the "Regular" edition as well as the "Exclusive" edition of Katsuichi manufactured with a permanent eye patch. However, please note that the "Exclusive" edition will still include the custom tea jar and teacup accessories. We agonized over the decision to miss our release-to-market deadline but, at the end of the day, we knew that we would lose much sleep in releasing a product that did not meet with our standards of quality. For what it's worth, we'd like for you to know that we are working extremely hard behind the scenes to provide you with the best product possible. We've reviewed the finalized batch of samples from the factory and, with the exception of the eye patch issue, we think they look fantastic! We expect to receive the first of several shipments during the first week of January and we plan on shipping out orders on a flow basis. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Again, we apologize for the delay. |
