Return of Bad Knight
It's been awhile since the Robotic Knight has been seen & with many requests for its return I have worked hard on bringing him back in one of my favorite colors of all time: Metallic Blue. This color combo ( with the shield red & eyes yellow) reminds me of the old japanese robot Tetsujin 28 ( aka Gigantor ). There will be 8 pieces for this edition & each 3.5 inch figure is priced at $40 each piece hand painted and hand produced. Figure will go on sale Thursday 8pm eastern time here...

Sales happen tonight at 9pm! Many of you have stated (via instagram , twitter,Facebook) interest in buying a couple of the bunnies on sale. A few tips about how certain shop sites ( namely this one ) work when it comes to buying limited stock. Just because you have an item in your in-cart box doesn't mean you are safe to browse around the site, during this time the item in your cart can be snatched up by someone who finished their transaction of the same item before you did . Customers have told me this has...

They are just about ready to go up into my webshop peterkatoshop.com
Inspired by customer reactions to test shots and my visit to the Hampton beaches one weekend I decide to create
the teal series of bedtime bunnies. So when you look up teal on the intern a whole range of colors show up , there doesn't seem to be one definitive "teal' color. So i went with that, a range of sea-green colors that reminded me of the ocean beaches. All the colors are different blends of blue & green tints. The feets are cast in...

Hello everyone , hope you had an amazing weekend!
This week we will be releasing some new Bedtime Bunnies, this time Orange with Grey slippers!
Some at the studios wondered if this colorwave variation was influenced by my recent binge-watching of "Orange is the New Black" season 2, well i guess it is possible...not a bad connection to be made for sure~( I love that show~ ).
3inch bunnies will be $20 each while the smaller 2.5inch variety will be $12 each.
We will also have a restock on our shop standard of Pinks and Whites!
