From Funmaker:
“Since we first introduced Rokimoto to the world earlier this year, we’ve been steadily building a community of fellow funmakers,” shared Funmaker founder and Chief of Fun Mike Becker. “We’re so excited to officially launch Rokimoto and bring it to the world at Anime Expo. Everyone can be a funmaker and we hope Rokimoto can help create an environment where people can take a break from the chaos of this cynical world, even for just a moment, so they can have fun.”

Officially Licensed Peanuts Products
For the ultimate nostalgic throwback, Rokimoto is collaborating with Peanuts, the most famous comic strip in the world, for a Slurprise edition of its equally famous dog, Snoopy. Collectible figures will be available in Rokitmoto’s signature ramen-style blind box, featuring Snoopy (1/4), Beagle (1/4), Joe Cool (1/6), Flying Ace (1/6), Space (1/12), Woodstock (1/12), and super slurprise Joe Cool’s transparent red variant (1/48) and super duper slurprise Space transparent blue variant (1/96).
“Partnering with Peanuts is a dream come true, and we’re beyond excited to continue the brand’s legacy through Rokimoto,” said Dave Bere, Funmaker co-founder and head of business strategy. “Peanuts is massively popular in Japan and it’s a real privilege to celebrate the spirit and beauty of the culture in a way that feels fresh, imaginative, and most of all, fun. We can’t wait for fans to see what we’ve been cooking up.”
