BeKyoot Kaboodle! Bleech Magazine!

8/23/2008

Great news, Kyootiepies!! We've just opened up a page on Kaboodle!! It's pretty lonely over there right now though because we need some friends!! ;) So if you're on Kaboodle, be sure to visit the BeKyoot page and give us an add! We are in the process of adding all of the BeKyoot products and apparel to our profile and we would love to hear your comments and feedback! If you've never surfed around on Kaboodle, go check it out! It's like a massive database where you can not only keep track of your favorite fashions (like Bekyoot *grins*) but you can make your own lists, and comment on products and a ton of other stuff! It doesn't even have to be clothes! Remember, we also have pages up on Facebook and Myspace!!

Happi Paper is at it again! This time he's hiding in the latest issue of Bleech Magazine! See if you can find him in the pages! Happi might also start popping up in Otaku USA! ;) You never know where he'll be next! :D

8/18/2008: Webcomic Updated!

After a short *COUGHfourmonthSHAMEonmeHACK* absence of webcomic postings, we finally have an update that will kick off a string of postings which will follow later this week. :) If you haven't checked out the Where Cute Things Go webcomic, please do and keep your eyes peeled for more updates! :D

8/13/2008: Back from Otakon!

We are back from Otakon in Balitmore and had an absolutely wonderful show! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth! Now that we've had a chance to catch our breath, we are planning some great things for the Fall including a totally refreshed line of shirts featuring your favorite characters! Also get ready because the release of our Limited Edition Halloween Tee will be here before you know it! There are several other brand new MomoCheet t-shirts in production, as well as the revamp and restart of our much anticipated children's line and expansion of our current line of BeKyoot apparel! Be on the look out for some pretty awesome stuff to keep you warm, Kyootiepies! ;)

8/9/2008/: Protecting BeKyoot

Hey Kyootiepies! As some of you may already know, at San Diego Comic Con we were made aware by BeKyoot fans and customers of a company that has very closely copied some of our designs and characters. As it also turns out, a former employee of ours is the head of this company. We have filed a lawsuit against this company and all people responsible as well as requested an injunction to halt their business dealings. We are very serious about protecting the integrity of our characters, products, designs, and business and want to thank all of you for your continued support of BeKyoot and the BeKyoot family of characters. :)

But enough of the serious stuff! If you happen to be attending this year's Otakon in Baltimore, please stop by the booth and give us a yell! We've got a lot of great stuff at the booth and can't wait to see you there! :)

7/31/2008: Back from SDCC! BeKyoot Featured on ToyMan! Next up: Otakon! <3

Woo! We just got back from San Diego Comic Con, and what a show it was! It was so great to see all our petition signers stop by the booth to welcome Happi to San Diego! We were located in the thick of the action, right next to the Warner Brothers stand and HUGE Watchmen submarine! Happi tried to go out on the floor but it was SO packed that in the end he decided to get his dance on safely inside the booth instead. (On a chair no less! But don't worry no toilet paper was harmed or injured in the process of SDCC shenanigans, even if he threatened to do a bellyflop once or twice. Kyu! [:3]) The booth front was packed from open until closing and we met a ton of new friends and returning customers as well! It was so wonderful to see you all! Thank you for stopping by the booth and helping to make our first trip to San Diego Comic Con such a resounding success! SDCC coverage pics will be appearing shortly here on the site Gallery as well as on our MySpace and FaceBook pages! Check 'em out kyootiepies!

BeKyoot and our products were featured in the WOWFactor section of ToyMan Review's Comic Con coverage! Go check out the awesome spot here and don't forget to check out the rest of the site too! Toy Man reviews a lot of great products in several different catagories!

In other exciting news, we are preparing to roll out a totally new site design very soon! It's bigger and better than anything we've done in the past and everyone here is really excited and anticipating the launch! New features will include a peek into the BeKyoot offices and creative space, as well as ramped up and redone forums, gallery and goodies sections! We will also be launching a link page and we encourage you to submit and trade links with us!

7/23/2008: San Diego Comic Con: Booth 4435. Be there! :D

6/30/2008: Back from Expo! Next Stop: Otakon in Baltimore!

Woo! We are back after a fantastic convention in LA! Though the atmosphere was a little different than in past years, we were really happy to see so many friends and customers return to the booth to chat and dance with Happi again. The new character t-shirt went really well and was a great success! Celebration Cupcake will be up on the website for purchase in a couple days along with his and her Samu Rye t-shirts! All of our bags are back in stock, and we also have a few old favorites that have been refreshed! Our Sushi for Yu design is in full stock for men's and women's t-shirts, and we've also added the much requested Sushi for Yu apron!

We need some help at the booth for Expo, so if you are interested, please contact us asap or even at the booth!! We ask that you be local to the LA area. All you'd need is a ride to the convention center and we'd handle badges, food etc throughout the day. The work will be paid and you'll get your pick of some shirts too! ;) Please email info (at) bekyoot.com to inquire and get more details!
