The winter edition of Wonfes has just opened. I always been a fan of the Tshirts designed by Hironori Oooka but in the last couple of years I think he is not inspired as before, but maybe it's just me...

OTAKU SEASON: WONFES 2007

di Frankie (09/29/2007 - 06:58)


After the last week Tokyo Game Show the "Otaku Season" is officially over so I decided to post a preview of this otaku documentary   shooted and edited  by our friend Antonio Mariani during the Wonderfestival (the DVD should be out in the next months). It features tons of garage kits, dolls, cosplayers and a (very) short interview with the legendary Danny Choo (and in a couple of scenes you can spot the superstar otaku photographer Julie from Samurai Girl photobook)!

Mak Po Maschinen Krieger

di Frankie (09/09/2007 - 04:04)

MaK Po is a new collaborative project inspired by legendary mecha designer / sculptor Kow Yokoyama (who created Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000 sci-fi universe in the 80s for the japanese cult magazine Hobby Japan). Actually this year marks the 25th aniversary of Maschinen Krieger. I always felt like garage kits and events like Kaiyodo's Wonfes gave birth to the vinyl toys movement and these Mak Po vinyl toys finally close the loop and connect again the Garage Kit world and the urban toys universe (proving again that the otaku culture is the most influential street culture in the last 15 years).
