In a fitting turn, the next 4” Geisha is by none other than tokidoki. This release is a rare artist crossover on Tokyoplastic’s signature character. Dropping from Toy Tokyo, this is their first announced SDCC exclusive and is the same sculpt as the yellow NYCC geisha. It will will be available for $40 at the Toy Tokyo booth @ SDCC. While SDCC news has been a little slow, the trickle is starting to pickup momentum.

About a month ago we blogged about the new tokidoki grim reaper cats – Skeletrino and Skeletrina, from STRANGEco. Each retails for $10.99 and should be dropping any day now. We were fortunate enough to find both in our mailbox these other days, so naturally we opened ‘em up and played around (yes, it’s a job! Well… sort of!). These newest creations from Simone Legno are some of his nicest figures yet (though Bulleto is a level beyond).
The first interesting (and cool) thing is that these are larger than the advertised 1.5” tall, and are over 2” to the top of the body and close 2.5” if you rotate the articulating sickle (all the better to reap with) shaped tail to dead center. While both are cool and we don’t mean to be sexist per se, Skeletrina really steals the show.
Who says you can’t be a grim reaper and do it in style? Instead of the classic black, Skeletrina’s a slightly bluish purple and has a sweet and amusing luxury hand-bag style all-over gold print design. The devil is in the details here –, tokidoki heart+crossbones, little reaper graphics, skull star, and bones tying it all together. Great concept pulled off well.
Finally, to match her luxury look Skeletrina has nicely accessorized her outfit with two molded barrettes (white on the forehead, black on the tail) and also has a molded anklet.
tokidoki’s Skeletrina is small enough to put anywhere yet flashy enough to start a conversation or at least turn a head. If you’re just picking up one (curse the falling dollar), choose Skeletrina. Though really, both would be twice as nice. Click through for a full gallery of the purple and gold deadly diva.

STRANGEco has announced Skeletrino and Skeletrina, two new mini (1.5″) vinyl figures from tokidoki. Wielding sickle shaped tails, the two felines are the pets of the Grim Reapers, Adios and Ciao Ciao. Skeltrino brings a classic look with his streamlined jet-black design. With a dash of couture, Skeletrina charms with a purple body and gold design showered in luxury details - barrett, anklet, and tail decoration. The tokidoki felines are due in June 2008 for $10.99 each. Click through for more pics.
