Who's buying the $5,000 Yo-Yo?


Shinobu Konmoto (aka S-Kon) has always impressed his fans with his originality and attention to detail. The famous yo-yo modder from Japan is now offering the Nostalgia, a handmade yo-yo modeled after the 2007 world champion model. Priced at ¥400,000 (about $5,000), the Nostalgia yo-yo is aimed straight at the serious yo-yo lovers and collectors. They take six months to deliver the Nostalgia model to your doorsteps, so you get pretty enough time to practice yo-yoing if you are not good at it.

MEDICOM TOY x Disney – Mickey Mouse Jack Skeleton Figure


MEDICOM TOY is known for its unparalleled quality of its figures, and it is to no surprise that Disney maintains a close relationship with MEDICOM TOY when making toys and figures. The latest collaborative project is the Mickey Mouse figure in the MEDICOM TOY’s Vinyl Collectible Dolls series. In this production, Mickey has been fused with Jack Skeleton from The Nightmare Before Christmas claymation. Pleasantly surprising, the hybrid is executed perfectly and Mickey does look quite pale like an undead. Albeit a happy one. Other recreated details include the pinstripe suit worn by Jack Skeleton, but of course, custom fitted for the famous mouse and paired with his signature floppy shoes.
