Chogokin Gimmickry
December 13th, 2017 by Corey A. Edwards
I rediscovered many of my toys while making the Chogokin Gimmickry video. I encourage you to occasionally play with your toys – especially your r@@@re and expensive, super-fragile, antique Japanese diecast toys from companies like Popy, Takatoku, Bullmark, Arklon, Eidi, and Marushin.

POINK! Spring-Loaded, Japanese Robot Fists!
April 18th, 2013 by Corey A. Edwards
Goofing around with the detail collage for my post on the “Instrucciones” poster inspired me to create a few fun (and totally stupid) products utilizing an iconic graphic from one of the instruction sheets: a spring-loaded, Japanese robot fist flying through the air!
I dunno about you but I’m definitely getting one of the shirts …

Bullmark Blazer diecast
They said he was from Japan and that accounted for his funny accent but it was clear to me he weren’t no Japaner. They said his metal body was the result of wounds he’d received in a war or some such but I never believed that, not for one minute. Who ever heard of such a thing; a metal body?
He wasn’t a this earth, I tell you, not even this time, maybe. Sell my mother if it aint true.

So it turned out that the neighbor severed my cable while planting a tree.
He was nice enough to leave the cable ends protruding from the earth like giant, errant whiskers but otherwise said nothing.
He’s in construction, natch.

A giant snail. What’s cooler than that?
My picture of it, that’s what.

Aboras
One of the last toys I ever bought, the Bandai, B-Club reissue of the Bullmark Aboras was long sought.
Something about this toy’s whimsical grin (at least on one side, the other side of his face is rather unfriendly, as if the sculptor was of two moods during the process … or just inept) has always pleased me to no end.
The toy has spent the last few months perched on a living room stereo speaker (the only figure toy in evidence in my home proper) in the hope that it would inspire me.
It has. I hope you like the results as much as I do – more of the same is on the way.

Somehow … back at it.

B-Club “Daigoro”
The next thing you know I’m paging through old backgrounds and snapping pictures of a toy, my mind awhirl with projects, themes, and other forms of sheer pointlessness.
It’s this kind of stuff that “holds me back” and ensures that I’ll never “make it.”
But you know what? I don’t really care anymore. They’re just too fun to make.
(my daughter says he needs a package)
X-ray
September 30th, 2009 by Corey A. Edwards
Here’s a neat little chunk of javascript (click the pic!) I discovered recently (and by that I mean on the net, not by writing it).
This is an admittedly lame use of it, given all the ideas learning of it has generated in me. My daughter and I are in the middle of a project together using said script in a far more creative way that I will reveal here as soon as it is complete.
The script is marketed as a magnifier, not as an x-ray. I like it better as an x-ray. Or whatever it is I have it doing here.
Stay tuned!
