tokidoki will be featured as one 50 invited artists at the Custom Miao Show in San Diego from 14 November to 17 December. As we all know, Miao (and Mousubi) is the first collectible vinyl toy designed by Zakka and the first design has already been released (from tokidoki of course!). We’ll keep our eyes out for more details on the location of the show but it would be interesting to see what the custom design from tokidoki will be!

We spotted this very interesting campaign that tokidoki was involved in recently - Panos 2013: Fake Street Signs Project:

A collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls.

The various artists interpreted the idea of a ‘road’ sign very differently and you should check out what they did. If you are in Lyon reading this, feel free to let us know what your thoughts are about the project - we think it’s a pretty cool!

If you were born during the 80s, then you would have known about Hasbro’s My Little Pony. Yes, the one with the long tail or mane that you can comb or do up the hair for etc. Well to celebrate the 25th birthday of My Little Pony (yes! It’s been that long!), Hasbro has asked well-known artists and designers around the world to customize their very own 18″ versions. tokidoki’s Simone Legno is one of the featured artists and his customized version features the tokidoki birds as well as Adios and Ciao Ciao. The pony is also covered ALL over with stripes in different tones of pink, very sweet looking.

All the customized ponies are already up for a charity auction (they’re one-of-a-kind) with a starting bid of US$500!

The “MY LITTLE PONY PROJECT: 25 Ponies for 25 Years” program is an international collection of 18” MY LITTLE PONY figures designed by popular culture’s influential people and organizations. The program was created not only to be a celebration of the whimsical nature of the brand, but also as a way to support Give Kids The World Village, a non-profit that strives to provide magical memories for children with life-threatening illnesses.

If you are a big fan of tokidoki AND My Little Pony, then get start bidding for this limited edition version!

P.S. Been a bit busy over the past week to do much updating, but we’re back. If you were at the official tokidoki Concept Space launch, the Graphika Manila event and tokidoki signing session at Fresh Manila over the last week, do feel free to send us photos so that we can share it here at Tokidokizens!

As part of the Yahoo! “Start Wearing Purple” campaign, tokidoki has launched a limited edition purple apparel line sold exclusively at Start Wearing Purple. According to the Yahoo! rep who kindly sent us this piece of exciting news, the site is dedicated to a grassroots campaign that encourages people to embrace the color and spirit of purple.

Check out two of the tees in the range (we totally dig the tokidoki SANDY in purple tee!), as well as a gorgeous shot of Simone Legno sporting a purple cap and purple Adios star tee which I’d love to get my hands on!

The tees cost US$30 but at the moment it seems to be only available in the US - we tried to buy one but we only saw US states listed in the drop-down menu. (However don’t fret coz we’ll update you once we have news that it will be shipped internationally as well!)

Together with the site, there’s also a series of videos of Simone Legno, one of which is this mini-documentary (you can catch a glimpse of the tokidoki office!):

An Interview with Creative Visionary, Simone Legno @ Yahoo! Video

You might want to watch the other videos as well. There are alot of tokidoki visual goodies featured in the videos so it’s quite enjoyable!

If you are staying in the Philippines, take note! We mentioned previously that tokidoki’s Simone Legno will be one of the speakers at the Graphika Manila event.

Not only that, he will also be having a signing session on 21 September, 6pm, at Fresh located in Quezon City. Make sure you jot down the date and time!
