Ok so last night Fafi was signing copies of her new book from Rizzoli at Rough Trade. I got a sick girlie sketch in my copy, and got one of my MAC figure boxes signed too - i'm not too greedy :P

To be honest I was expecting a much bigger queue for a Fafi signing, especially with toy fans decending on East London for the Dudebox launch but it was a modest queue and actually made things better as we could have a lil chat with her and she had more time to spend on her doodling. Back when i first started collecting toys original Fafi Capsule toys were already well on their way to selling out and aside from the MAC figures Medicom made, I still think they are the toys that best represent her work. I wish I had them! Fafi agrees that that they are the best figures mainly because they were both made in Japan and Medicom make the best toys.

Hardly an exclusive interview, but it's always nice to meet someone and be able to have a quick chat about toys, and Fafi obviously knows her stuff... and yes she is as cool as you think she is!

I've not fully checked out the book, but the artwork is lovely, not enough full pages in the comic for my liking but there is a great gallery of full page pics at the back. Go buy one!
