Rumors have been floating around in the net all week about the release of the Kaws Sobukun "JJP" figure and we just got it confirmed. The latest toy by the New York artist was inspired by the Japanese police mascot and of course it gets remixed by Kaws with his trademark cross eyes, crosses on hands and feet as well as the bones on the head. As usual, the toy was produced by Medicom.
The Kaws Sobukun toy will be released on Saturday at Original Fake Tokyo as well as at Kawsone already tomorrow at 12pm EST, and it will come in a yellow and a black colorway.  It looks like Kawsone will only release the yellow colorway, but we could not confirm that. Let the hunt begin.
After the jump larger images of both toys.

This month Head Porter will be releasing its new "Vinyl" collection. The see-through vinyl bags come in a variety of colors and sizes. A similar collection has been released by Louis Vuitton a couple of years ago.
In this case Head Porter does not only imitate the Louis Vuitton pattern, but also the idea of using vinyl for the bags and as much as we like the Japanese brand, we think  that this has gone a little too far.
Make up your own opinion and look out for these to hit retailers any week now. Pic via Honeyee.

This week we came across an interesting new product by Numark – the TTi. The turntable can be connected to the computer via USB and it has a direct iPod dock. You can record vinyl directly onto your iPod and of course also onto your computer.
This is certainly not serious DJ equipment, but for someone that wants to enjoy his vinyl on the go, its definitely pretty cool!
