One of the awesome things about the Pocket Sideshow Chibi series, is that you can swap all the heads and bodies! We did just that with a set of the Winter Colorway set. Makes for fun combos and mixing it up.
Works well if we say so ourselves!

Did you miss something on our social media sites this week? If you did, have no fear because we have you covered in one easy post!
This week we announced two exciting releases at Bewitching IV and covered the progress of many artists from the show.
First up, we are beyond proud to finally bring you two amazing releases at this year’s installment of Bewitching with the brand new Pocket Sideshow set featuring Brandt Peters, Kathie Olivas, Amanda Louise Spayd, and Chris Ryniak, along with the Stingy Jack “Pierrot” edition.
We also looked into the studio of a handful of Bewitching IV artists. We got to see exactly what they are up to for the show! This always makes us want to see the finished work more and more.
Keep your eyes open because we will have more soon!
“CHIBI” POCKET SIDESHOW
Tomenosuke + CP will be releasing our first color-way of POCKET SIDESHOW, our brand new “chibi” line of sofubi figures (Made in Japan). These 3” tall figures will debut at both this year’s BEWITCHING IV group Halloween exhibition at Stranger Factory (Circus Posterus: North American & Canadian Sales) and at Taipei Toy Festival & tomenosuke.com (Tomenosuke: International Sales).
— 1st colorway = Edition: 100 of each character – Penelope (Kathie Olivas) / Otto (Brandt Peters) / Puddlesproot (Chris Ryniak) / Snowshoe (Amanda Louise Spayd) — Please keep in mind that the editions will be split equally between Circus Posterus and Tomenosuke.
— All figure heads swap out between each other in the Chibi Pocket Sideshow series!

The clues have been out there for quite some time, but we can finally start to show off what’s in store for 2014…the Tomenosuke + CP Chibi Series!
Chibi is a popular Japanese character style, drawing fans of the small and cute. Imagine smaller and even cuter little versions of the toys we all know and love, and know that the Tomenosuke + CP series is taking this idea full throttle. Here is the test sculpt of Brandt Peters‘ Skelve for the series, sculpted by the amazing Yohei Kaneko, in all his squat, bow tied glory.
We don’t have the exact production details yet, but we do know, that they are small / two-part figures and part of a line that will include Circus Posterus favourites, and guest artists. Also, for even more fun – their heads will all be swappable. The first series in the line- up will feature Kathie Olivas, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Louise Spayd, and Brandt Peters.
