We finally came to a consensus on the winner of our second Tokidokizens Giveaway. It was really quite tough to choose between all your lovely entries as we totally dig all the characters you’ve created.

Soooo…. congratulations to Cheryl’s entry! We were quite taken with her idea of a tokidoki cupcake (yummy!) spreading the tokidoki love where ever he walked. Quite cheery don’t you think?

My Tokidoki character would be everybody’s favorite sweet treat, a cupcake! He would be super cute with a generous swirly icing top, complete with rainbow sprinkles. And the fun thing about him, would be that wherever he would walk, he would leave a trail of colorful sprinkles behind him! He would also toss some sprinkles in the air like confetti whenever he’d be happy or whenever he’d greet another character.

My inspiration for this cupcake character, actually stems from the Tokidoki popcorn guy. I just love him, and although visually, a cupcake is quite different from a bag of popcorn, I imagine my Tokidoki cupcake character to be as undeniably cute, bubbly and charming as the Tokidoki popcorn guy we all know and love.

Lastly, in the way that the popcorn bag has little individual bits of popcorn buddies with faces, the cupcake guy would have a smiling cherry sitting on top of his icing, who would be his best friend (hence the fact they would go everywhere together).

Thanks everyone for such a great job, please stay tuned as we will be announcing our next giveaway soon! (Cheryl, we will be contacting you soon!) Keep spreading the tokidoki love~ *scatters sprinkles*

Continuing with more tokidoki news elsewhere in the world - take note our dear Australian readers (or anyone who’s in Australia now reading this)! The tokidoki Concept Store, in Brisbane, will be having an official launch next Tuesday 16 September at 6pm (thanks to reader Arthouse Jo for reminding us)! Grab your invites from the Barcode stores (Surfers Paradise and Fortitude Valley) so that you won’t miss out on the launch action!

P.S. Benny from Tenacious Toys has also written in to let us know that you can also preorder tokidoki Bulletto from their store now. I have already done my preorder here with EarthX - can’t wait for tokidoki Bulletto to arrive~!!

We’re excited to see tokidoki’s Fall/Winter 2008 collection trickling into various parts of the world! We’ve seen sneak peeks from Chicki of a couple of new jackets coming in, and now Crim Shop in Italy has kindly let us know that the new arrivals are already in their store and they’re quite gorgeous!

I am totally drooling over this beautiful tokidoki Jacket! Classy and definitely suitable to wear on any cold winter’s night (or when you’re on a back of a motorcycle!). Details of the jacket comes in the form of the tokidoki logo on the zipper pull and you can always fold up the collar to cover your neck - nifty for protecting yourself from the wind! Crim Shop also has other new tokidoki apparel for men and women as well as accessories like bracelets and necklaces.

Whilst looking at the new arrivals, we decided to take a visit to tokidoki’s Europe store and they have already updated it with the Fall/Winter collection (yes, we know we can’t shop from that store but ‘window’ shopping is always fun as well~!) Just check out the new tokidoki jeans, tees and jackets! tokidoki did not leave out the guys in their latest collection coz we spotted this really irresistable tokidoki Jacket for the guys:

Military-inspired with roomy pockets all over the front, this tokidoki Jacket looks simple and understated on the outside, but check out the funky interior! You can also find embroidered patches (smiley bullets on the top right pocket, tokidoki logo on the left) that adds on to the military feel of the design. Definitely suitable for daily wear - I would if I could fit into it!

Two more readers have wrote in to us to let us know that they have won the tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger Snow Heaven 72 boots! Lucky gals Michelle and izzygator join Katrina as proud owners of the boots! Check out their photos below:

Once again, congratulations to all who won! Keep spreading the tokidoki love!

Fellow tokidoki lover Katrina wrote in to tell us that she has won the gorgeous pair of tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger Snow Heaven 72 boots we mentioned previously. Congratulations!! Here’s what she had to say:

I won a pair of shoes signed by Simone himself. They are ridiculously cute, but are too big for me. I am a size 7 or 7.5 in the Tokidoki for Onitsuka shoes… and these are a pair 9. I won by answering some simple questions (luckily one of the answers included Kill Bill, my favorite movie). I didn’t even think I had a chance of winning… but when I got home from school there was a box on my doorstep. Lucky me, I won the shoes just in time for my birthday tomorrow! I haven’t decided if I’m going to wear them or not… but I am so happy to win! I love Tokidoki!

She has also kindly sent us a couple of photos to share with everyone:

Woot! Congratulations to Katrina and happy belated birthday!
