Little Tokyo's (also known as Little Jap's) is a small series of figures by Exit Toys that are nearly identical to Gogo's Crazy Bones in design. They were also distributed in Chile by the company Salo. These figures attempt to replicate the same urban street art style seen in the first modern Gogo's series but with a stronger emphasis on Japanese culture. They are often mistaken for Gogo's and can occasionally be found in lots of them online. All of the figures in the set were designed by Salba Combe, a freelance concept artist and character designer from Spain that has worked with various companies such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. There are 36 cute characters to collect in total, which each come in 2 different colors. Some characters were also available in clear colors through packs or tins. The figures are made with a cheaper, rougher plaster than official Gogo's.

In 2019, they were re-released in Mexican surprise eggs. There were 32 characters in this release (there are 33 characters in the checklist, but they placed Kabocha twice, this is most likely to be unintentional).

Story[]

As the story goes, Little Tokyo's were once Asian toys that ran on batteries. However due to how they were made it caused pollution so they were taken off the market. It looked gloomy for these cute little characters, it felt like they would never see the light of day. Then a toy company known as Exit-Toys of Barcelona and Salo of South America picked up the molds and turned these characters into collectible fun figures.

Trivia[]

  • The manual states that they were originally battery operated toys from Japan, but due to pollution they were taken off the shelves. The figures no longer use batteries and are just plastic figures like Gogo's. This is likely to be a fictional storyline and they never were battery operated.
  • In a Little Tokyo's ad, the characters are seen attacking silhouettes of Series 1 Gogo's characters, such as Boy and Molly. This implies that Tokyo's were intended to be a rival to Gogo's Crazy Bones.
  • The characters are sorted into groups of colors (Yellow, Blue, Light Blue, Red, Orange, Green, Black, White & Purple).
  • The figures come out in groups of 4 of the same color.
  • A sheet of concept art from Salba Combe suggests that a sports series was planned, as there are designs themed after baseball, football, and hockey.
