[ Title ]      LAST POP 40
[ Main materials used ]    Berry pins

We interviewed the creator, D.N. who made an entry in our contest [FIRST BATTLE OF LAST CAMERA]

I was originally thinking to make something along the lines of Kurohige Kiki-Ippatsu (a Japanese toy, sort of like a Jack-in-the-box); but then I realized that the pearly look was quite pretty…

[ Title ]      white camera
[ Main materials used ]    Various parts from plastic models

We interviewed the creator, A.O., who made an entry in our contest [FIRST BATTLE OF LAST CAMERA]

[ Title: ]      Pacha Kamaq
[ Main materials used ]    Horns

We interviewed the creator, Mr. K.R., who made an entry in our contest [FIRST BATTLE OF LAST CAMERA]

I wanted the photographer to look like a demon when they held the camera. Some tribes in the jungle believe that the cameras suck out their souls. I want people to suck away souls with this camera. When you hold this camera, you become a villain, a monster…

[ Main materials used ]    Wool

We asked one of our staff, S.U., to make her own camera. S.U. is a seductive little lady who's also a bit of trouble, and you'll see her a lot at our store.

[ Main materials used ]    Fabric from the traditional Chinese Qipao dress
