“Finally we made it!! The G-shock x Subcrew Limited Edition watch has redesign some details and accents, rather than the usual print on the watch. We’ve put the Sharkmarine’s teeth and eye patterns on the watchstrap, with the eye-catching yellow/green color combination that meet the sharkmarine theme. As you can see on the picture, a Sharkmarine pattern has been added on the LED backlight, makes the watch become more prominent on the darkness. On the backside, a Subcrew Logo has been engraved as well as the individual serial number. We will include a Sharkmarine doll together with the watch as a set for sale.

The G-Shock x Subcrew Sharkmarine watch is limited of 100 pieces, and each one has engraved with a specific serial number from 001 – 100. There will be small amount available in our Online Store only, so all Subcrew fans must not miss it! !”

The Shark figure, of course, if you’ve been following adFunture for a while, you’ve seen it before. And as of this moment, this Subcrew G-Shock is already sold out. Congrats to Subcrew and G-Shock!

Astro Boy super collector. This was a shot from the studio of Hong Kong designer “Ultraman”. He is more known for his metal figures, but in reality, his studio is filled with Astro Boy toys.

Central, Hong Kong. Right across from SOPH., APC, FIL, Nowhere Store. So, the dollar has grown?

A piece from Jeremy Scott’s current Adidas collection. Love the license plate concept here.

During New York Comic-Con 2010, adFunture will be releasing a number of new items. Some were disclosed before, some were delayed until now, and then some were never seen before.

I figured I’d start by showing a piece that was never mentioned before.

SKATEBOARD YOKA is a new series designed to add to the existing YOKA collection. For its debut, we have invited our friend ANTZ from Singapore to grace the first deck. This set, edition of 300, will first be sold in NYCC, at the camp of MyPlasticHeart. Don’t miss out~

Went silent on you again for a while, but I was working hard all the way through….

In between official YOKA Series production, I did a small capsule for SIZE Magazine in China, an edition of 30pcs all sprayed by yours truly. I was never a real artist myself, but I think these came out okay.

New Balance sent over something that they knew I was waiting for ever since the tradeshow! The MA-1 inspired MT580, due out this A/W. Love the color combo and the Gore-Tex outter doesn’t hurt neither. Much much thanks to da boyz. I love it!

Shanghai. After all these years, how do you think it looks like? Still a farm land of sort? Nah.

Check out how Shanghai looks like at night.

Rosa, a great help from our studio. She gave me the bad news about her having to leave the company, BUT, the great side to that was that she’ll be going to Italy to continue on with her education. That, I absolutely support!

I went to Cheng Du City last month, this is one of the shots that I took, one that I like more. These were made with cow-skins, these were used as light-puppets from decades ago. Pretty nice.

You’d want to see more designer figures in this blog, huh? Sorry. You wait, my friends. Just wait.

We were quiet on the toy front for a while, that was because we were working on this new YOKA series for FAMILY MART. A 10-variants soccer-themed series, these will be available in FAMILY MART Stores in Mainland China starting June 1st til July 31st of 2010.

Very happy to work with the convenience store chain, as this will give us the opportunity to put YOKA in front of a more mainstream audience. Not about to go mainstream, but would definitely want to see their responses to what we do. Unfortunately, for our YOKA collectors in other countries, we cannot distribute this series internationally as these are exclusively for FM. We do have something else for you all, will show you that next week.

A double-header?

Yup!
Matt Black exclusively for Boston, Red/White exclusively for Holland.
More info soon.

Finally going start releasing unique sculpts again, and first up, we got The Last Samurai by Nate Van Dyke for you all. Well, not everyone, ‘cos this is only an edition of 200 pieces. This will go on sale in early May of 2010.

Hit up the adFunture website for more info.

Was at the adFunture Factory again this week, working out some new goodies, and checking on current productions as well. Some sweet stuff will get released soon, very soon. At the moment, we are working on special series of YOKA. Hope to show those off in a few weeks.

ARKIV INSTANT is getting a new color treatment. 3rd edition we’re on, officially.

There’s something very cool about black on black. I don’t know what it is, but I just love it.

FIRE PANDA, originally exhibited last year at SoleGoodz and Iconic-1 during FIRE PANDA 10th Anniversary Exhibition. adFunture will be releasing this big vinyl this Summer, and yes, proper distribution etc etc.

I was always told I didn’t show enough love for the Mini-G Series, but is simply not true. Love the series and quite alot of the variants in the series. For example, this variant designed by ANTZ in Singapore. It looks very hot~ It was the first time we worked with ANTZ, and after we saw this, we started other projects with him.

This series was also special to us because we used this platform to worked with a number of our Taiwanese buddies such as REMIX TAIPEI, REVELATOR, Filter017 and Phalanx. It was a celebration.
