Ilanena 10th Anniversary Show

I know I haven’t even been home 24 hours yet, but I’m ready to rush off to Tokyo in a week so that I can visit the Ilanena (website, Twitter) 10th Anniversary Show that starts February 8th. See the Alternative Cafe and Ilanena websites for details. I won’t be at the show — I’ve got New York Toy Fair next week — but I will be watching the coverage online.

To celebrate its 10 year anniversary, Tokyo-based Figure Label ILANENA is having a special Exhibition in Nakano at the alternative cafe!!

Every release-to-date of ILANENA’s iconic Dai Kaiju Card Monsters – encompassing a mind-boggling 73 unique sets – will be on display. Additionally there will be a Custom Show featuring Daiju Kaiju Card Monster sets by 23 select Western Artists. As an added bonus, a special collaboration between alternative comic virtuoso Jim Woodring and Ilanena will be unveiled.
