TOKUNATION IS TACONATION

Posted on April 1, 2014 at 11:30 am by Tony_Bacala under TokuNation Site Updates

Toku Nation has decided to switch focus. Since everyone thinks it’s Taco Nation, or just says Taco Nation because it’s much funnier than Toku Nation, we’re gonna roll with it. This will be an all Taco site. The roll out begins today. The forums have already been converted, and we will be implementing the front page Taco conversion over the next couple days. We hope you join us on the Taco Roller Coaster. Jump into our Taco on the forums here: http://www.tokunation.com/forum.php!

UPDATE: We’ve decided to stay with TOKU instead of TACO. Taco conversion canceled. Carry on.

Artist Alley Tees Launches Kickstarter with Kaiju Theme!

Posted on March 26, 2014 at 12:28 pm by Tony_Bacala under TokuNation Spotlights

Friend of the site Stylin Online[/URL] has launched a Kickstarter[/URL] project along with B’lockhouse (aka Josh Blaylock of Devils Due fame) to produce a new artist based T-Shirt line called Artist Alley Tees. They have gotten the project up and running already, with artwork and test runs done (artists paid), but are looking to Kickstarter to see if there is demand for a wider production run. Of note for our Tokunation fans – one of the first themes are Kaiju!

From the Kickstarter page:

ARTIST ALLEY TEES is a simple concept. We pick the comic artists you love, give them some themes that are all the current rage, and set them loose designing their own tees.

For this inaugural launch we have Zombies, Robots and yup, giant “Kaiju” monsters!

We envision an apparel brand where in the future you’ll be able to find AA Tees at the convention table of your favorite artist, at our own comic-con booths, and online. But after each run, when shirts are gone they’re gone, just like a limited edition variant cover.

The initial round of artists include Art Baltazar, K. Lynn Smith, Nei Ruffino, Phil Hester, and Tim Seeley. This isn’t like some of the parody / mash up / one a day sites out there. Seems to be more artist focused with larger print runs and available longer, even if limited. Bagging and boarding the shirts is a nice touch too IMO.

Check out full details over at Kickstarter[/URL], and support if you dig it!

Toy Fair 2014 – Network Roundup

Posted on February 18, 2014 at 12:32 pm by Tony_Bacala under Toy Fair

The TFW2005, HissTank, Toyark and TokuNation crew is back from Toy Fair 2014 and we’ve rounded up all our links to pictures and info from the show that went up over the last 3 days. We go fast and hard at Toy Fair – in the last 3 days across the 4 sites, we posted 125 stories on over 50 different companies. Within those 125 stories, we’ve uploaded and shared over 5,000 images. Close to real time, high resolution images, straight from the show. That can be a little much to take in if you are just popping in today back at work or school. So, check out the links below for all the sites and catch up on the brands you like. We will have a couple more posts this week related to Toy Fair, some things we missed and some highlight posts. But this is the raw uncut plastic crack for the next year. Enjoy.
