All Souls Uamou & Boo at Lulubell Toys..!!

via: Lulubell Toys

Tucson, AZ is not only home to Lulubell Toys, but we also host one of the largest All Souls Processions in the country. Based on the Mexican "Dia de los Muertos" holiday, the All Souls Procession honors those who have passed on. Thousands of people dress as muertos & make home-made floats and shrines to honor and remember loved ones. The procession always falls in the Sunday after Halloween, which is today, and this year it is culminating in a huge finale right across the street from our new location! To celebrate this amazing Tucson tradition, we are releasing our "All Souls" Uamou set tonight!

Happy, Sad, Dazed & Ouch Uamou and Boo pairs are cast from clear orange vinyl and come filled with colored smiling clay skulls, reminding us to hold in hearts the happy times. All Souls Uamou is a super limited run, and can be picked up in-store tonight starting at 7pm AZ time (6pm Pacific), or online on the home page at the same time. $28 each set

We will also be debuting our toy brand TAGTOYS with sneak previews of new figures: ALIEN ARGUS by Mark Nagata and HIEROPHANY by Carlos Enriquez Gonzalez, both made in luscious Japanese soft vinyl.



Opening reception is September 4th 2010 from 7-11 PM, with artists in attendance, music, drinks, a food truck, giveaways, live video streaming, and more!

The Crossover at the Global Figure Symposium SDCC 2010

One of my only pictures of Don...

I think one of the most interesting events this year was the tiny booth that seemed to hold a small army of artist and toy makers. Spearheaded by Matt Doughty of Onell Design and Datadub of Fig-Lab, this year's Crossover event for the Global Figure Symposium was the hot ticket. I'm guessing around 20-25 artists from both the US and Japan were represented. Every couple of hours, the table was cleared and another artist would put up their wares. I found myself going back to this booth over and over (as evidenced by the last six posts showing other artists sharing this booth).
