HIROAKI SHITANO OF WHIZ LTD IN TOYPUNKS VOL. 2!


Last time the Toypunks crew was in Japan, we chatted with Hiroaki Shitano of Whiz Ltd fashion brand, thanks to our good friend Hiddy Kinoshita of Secret Base toys. Whiz is one of the premier fashion labels among 20 to 30 somethings in Japan, and it's easy to see why. Strictly a fashion house, they've collaborated in recent past with Secret Base toys on the release of 1/1 Skull and dropped Be@rbricks with Medicom. Sick. In volume 2, we chat with Shitano and Hiddy about their collaborative process. Look out for it in Toypunks Vol 2. Check it! www.whiz.jp

SECRET BASE SHOW IN TAIWAN!














Hiddy Kinoshita, our good friend and owner of Secret Base toys in Tokyo, dropped us a line this morning letting us know about his upcoming exhibition in Taiwan, from April 24 through May 3. Held at shop Paradise and titled "House of Secret," the show will feature every single Secret Base figure that has ever been produced! Exclusive figures also will be for sale. Hit this up if you're in Taiwan! This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to see the totality of dope vinyl that Secret Base has dropped over the years.
