As one of the very first sites to start covering the then new designer toy scene, the guys over at the industry leading blog Vinyl Pulse have decided to celebrate their tenth year in the game with a very special release… an exclusive version of Itokin Park‘s Astronaut sofubi! VP’s Jack Muramatsu kindly explains a little about the project… “Vinyl Pulse first started covering designer toys back in the Spring of 2005 and we’ve loved doing our “jobs” throughout the years. To celebrate a decade of toy blogging, we wanted to offer collectors, fans and our readers a special toy. To do so, we’ve gone full circle by asking our good friend Kazuhiko Ito (Itokin Park) who created the first VP exclusive–the VP Robo resin figure back in 2006–to do the honors for our 10th Anniversary toy, an exclusive version of his adorable Astronaut sofubi…” Coming in an eye-catching mix of green and black inspired by the Vinyl Pulse colors, the soft vinyl figure comes packed with a header, sticker sheet and bonus 10th Anniversary button created by Kazu. Going on sale through the Vinyl Pulse site this coming Friday, June 19th at 7.30am Pacific time, the 10th Anniversary Exclusive Astronaut has been priced at just $35 plus shipping…
