Sony has always looked to innovation and excitement to advertise their top of the Sony Bravia products. We saw it back in October as a city ran rampant with rabbit after rabbit made of Play Doh. To promote Sony’s imaging collection (including video cameras), their ingenuity brought them to Miami where the city was literally turned into a city of foam with a gigantic foam maker manned by an 18 man crew:
Foam Maker Stats
-2.8 meters in diameter.
-Uses 1,000 liters of water to create 2,000,000 liters of foam per minute.
-Can fill up an Olympic swimming pool in only 24 seconds.
-It is estimated that 460 million liters of foam will be made by the end of the commercial’s production.
We’re definitely looking forward to seeing the final product for this commercial. Stay tuned for more details.

Debuting at the height of psychedelic pop culture movement, the cartoon certainly doesn’t disappoint as each Bearbrick is dressed according to the cartoons they represent. A three minute trailer can be seen over at Youtube. Pre-orders have begun in Japan, but no word yet on a stateside release.

The RGB color model is where the colors red, green and blue are mixed in together to recreate a broad spectrum of colors. The main use of the RGB color model is in electronic displays like TVs, video cameras, video projectors and more. DC Shoes has taken this as inspiration for the RGB footwear collection. The RBG collection consists of four shoes all based on the Monteca model. The obvious three Monteca’s are in the red, blue and green colorways. The color black, which is the result when you put red, green and blue together, is the shade for the fourth Monteca. These are now available at Chapter World, prices are set at 13,440 Yen.
