Announcing A New Happy Beaver Colorway!

It's actually a little more than that - Frank Kozik generously offered to do his take of my Happy Beaver toy! I got the turnaround last week, and it looks awesome - this will be part of my new toy release (though I don't know that I'll be able to get them done for July/San Diego Comic-Con).

The plan at this point is to make three new colorways of Happy Beaver, plus three colorways of Kumo-Kun in the same production run. That way, I can gradually release new variants of my toys for the next six conventions! That'd keep new stuff on the table for at least a couple of years. Keep your fingers crossed...!

Also, I'm in the very early stages of considering a resin figure with Bigshot Toyworks! I'm working on the turnaround right now, and I'll keep you posted as it develops.

PS - Toysrevil's I Like Toys blog is already spreading the news - thanks, Andy!

Thirty-One "Happy Beaver"s Left At Jeffpidgeon.com!

That's right - I've shipped the majority of my Happy Beaver toys to Dov Kelemer at DKE Toys, leaving just thirty-one figures left for sale at this website! If you want yours conveniently signed at purchase, hurry and order yours today!

Another Great Week!

Emailing all the toy retailers last week bumped up my readership even more. I came pretty close to getting 2,000 page views on Wednesday! Thanks for visiting, everybody - I hope to have another Happy Beaver comic finished soon. I know it's been a little while!

Something Interesting Has Happened

Mainly, that (according to my Bravenet hit counter) my blog audience seems to have increased in a big way - from about four hundred hits a day to almost fifteen hundred today! I guess the Vinyl Toy Network show triggered the jump, but I'm not exactly sure how.

I didn't give out my contact information that much, so I'm assuming that naming my toy business after my web address (and having it displayed on the VTN homepage) was a much better idea than I'd ever anticipated! It's a big reason why I bit the bullet and started the web comic - I wanted to hang onto my new readers with more original material.

Welcome, everybody! Hope you enjoy the new feature...
