TOYSREVIL: How many times have you been to TTF so far? (Including this year)

FILTER017: Three times.

TOYSREVIL: How was the experience this year, compared to last year? Or previous years? Especially when you guys have both YOKAs and MINI-Gs released! How does it feel to release the toys?

FILTER017: We don't feel good. In addition to a larger space, with the participation of lesser companies than before, the whole show felt relatively dark. As for the toys, we loved it so much. Thanks for adFunture Eddi & Jukai so much!! :*)

OYSREVIL: Oh dear - sorry to hear about the unhappiness tho. Did you folks enjoy the event nevertheless? How many days were you there?

FILTER017: Yes, we enjoyed. We were there all day three days.

TOYSREVIL: Did you score any good toys? Or wish you did or regret not scoring during the event? What do you collect?

FILTER017: Yes, we scored some real cool toys, including Tim Biskup Big Pollard Yellow Father ver. Paradise Toy exclusive, 400% WDW Wonderfulman Be@rbrick, Peanut Justin, Kidrobot Kozik's Big Mongers Captain Blood, Skateboard Zombie, and our great gift: Parra's Toy that was not available for sales. Especially YOKA Series 1 KUMA and Mini G designed by us. :)

TOYSREVIL: Always cool to receive your very own toy, IMHO! Anything interesting that caught your eye? That made you want to own or try to own the toy/figure/s?

FILTER017: Yes, that's Parra's toy made by adFunture. It's so pretty cool. :*) We'll buy one when it release in the next time.

TOYSREVIL: Nice! What was your personal impression of the event? A Success or Failure? And why?

FILTER017: We and adFunture cooperated on the YOKA Series 1 and Mini G toy. We think this event is successfully. Becasue this is our first time to release our toy with adFunture Eddi, it also allowed us exposure in TTF.

TOYSREVIL: Any suggestions to improve TTF for 2010?

FILTER017: Umm...I don't know, but perhaps they can find a better place to exhibit in the next time.
