Just when you think Hello Kitty couldn’t get any cuter, Sanrio has just released their “Kawaii Invasion” line. This version of Hello Kitty is TOO ADORABLE FOR WORDS!

There’s five characters in this collection, each one is dressed in her own super cute style. There’s also handbags in a fun print as well. Prices start at $3.95 USD (for the individual character key caps) and go as high as $70 USD for the bags. Our favorite, the 8-inch plushes are $29.50 USD. The “Kawaii Invasion” collection is on sale on the Sanrio website right now, but we don’t expect these to be available for too long.

The seventh incarnation of Joe Ledbetter and The Loyal Subjects Chaos Bunny dropped yesterday! Pirate Bunny may look tough with its eye patch and sword, but he’s still just as adorable as the previous releases.

As mentioned in the picture above, Pirate Bunny is limited to 700 pieces. Compared to the other Chaos Bunny releases this one is much larger and several other retailers have it in stock. We’ve been seeing several designer toy shops selling small quantities of Pirate Bunny. But don’t think that just because there’s more pieces and dealers that it won’t sell out; several online shops have already expressed low stock. Pirate Bunny is $125 USD each and available at The Loyal Subjects and other retailers.

Seems that Momiji has been releasing a lot of new message dolls over the past few months, at least dolls that we’re feeling. Their latest creation is no exception either. Marina is ready to kick off summer and set sail on the seas for some fun times!

Marina doesn’t seem to be a limited release compared to the other message dolls we’ve been drooling over. We’re assuming that she’s a regular release so they’ll be greater chances to nab her and that excites us even more! She stands at 3 inches tall with a hole at the bottom of her feet that can fit a small message. She’s on sale now at the Momiji website for $18.95 USD each.

This past Friday was the opening of Brooklyn-based artist Kelly Denato’s solo show at Bunnycutlet Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The exhibit included paintings and mixed media works by Denato only and we were amazed at how much work was on display! Below are pictures of some of our favorite pieces that were on display:

This is just a portion of what was up Friday night, as there was many more pieces that were up on display. We love Denato’s work and attention to detail. She told us about how she collected several of the frames that held the smaller art from all over and how she rotates them from time to time, which we think adds extra character. Several pieces have already sold but there’s still plenty of art up for grabs. You can see what’s still for sale by checking out the Bunnycutlet Gallery website. “Chasing Rainbows” will be up until May 27, 2013.

We’re still mourning that we missed out on the clear blueberry Mini Soopa Jr from Erick Scarecrow of ESC Toy, but we can get behind the newest colorway of this resin figure. The Clear Grape Mini Soopa Jr looks like a piece of video game candy. You can’t play or eat it though!

The Clear Mini Soopa Jr is 4 inches tall and is made of clear resin. There’s a limited amount of this colorway that are on sale now on the ESC TOY website for $20 USD each. A strikingly lovely piece, we expect the grape to sell out as well.
