Hello True Ruiners,

After a long hiatus I've decided to venture back into the toy production and selling business. But just ecom this time. Bootleg Bonanza nearly cost me my home and quite possibly my life, running a location and paying rent was something I was not prepared for and the store inevitably failed and I decided to creep away for a bit get a normal person's job and bide my time.

Well that time is now. I'm proud to announce I've launched On That Designer Toys and Sofubi. Not that I don't love the dumb name Bootleg Bonanza, but the word bootleg is touchy by some squares and since my goal is distribute and produce as many independent toys as possible I've decided to go with a brand that means even less!

It's the same store, selling the same toys, from the same loser. More to come.
