A Day with a Sofubi Maker on Vice Japan

wow, this is great. Vice Japan did this mini documentary on Mori from RealxHead and legendary painter Goto-san. This was produced by our buddy Don Datadub Kratzer and is very well done. I love Vice and I love RealxHead so it's the perfect merging of worlds. RealxHead is definitely not dead.  But i'm wondering if i'm one of those "toy geeks" that Mori refers to.  Collaborations with fashion brands have been around and I agree it's a good way to get a wider audience. At the end of the day, we are all toy geeks.

SOFEX: The Business of War

Interesting and thought-provoking. Reminds me of Nick Cage's movie "Lord of War"

SOFEX is where the world's leading generals come to buy everything from handguns to laser-guided missile systems. It stands for "Special Operations Forces Exhibition Conference" and it's essentially a trade-show where just about anyone with enough money can buy the most powerful weapons in the world.
