Interview with Mike Sutfin a few days before SDCC 2008. He was getting ready for Pushead's Skeletal Carnival 3. Mike is the nicest guy you could probably meet.
This is the new Japanorama short from BBC on Japanese Designer Toys. I thought it wasn't bad and covered some favorites including Bounty Hunter, Secret Base and Medicom. I was a bit put off by the term "Urban Vinyl" cause I don't think anyone really uses that terminology for Japanese vinyl toys. It's also a bit dated. The only other part that annoyed me a bit is the assertation that most collectors keep their toys in the original packaging to preserve the "value". Although Hikaru from Bounty Hunter said he likes to keep his toys in their pristine state and that he views the packaging as part of the overall unit, most collectors take their toys out of the package for display purposes. Otherwise, you can't really enjoy them! Ironically, if you kept all the Bounty Hunter toys in their plastic bags, you really wouldn't be able to enjoy them or the packaging really!
