Crappy Domo Kun @ Target

I’ve always liked the original Domo Kun. Dark Horse makes a flocked vinyl version, but it’s all about the plush you find at the Japanese shops. When I heard that Domo Kun was the new Halloween mascot at Target, I had mixed reactions about this. I didn’t want Domo Kun to get too much exposure, but I don’t mind as long as the stuff is cute.

Eric Nakamura posted pictures on his blog, and it’s worse than I expected. Some of the stuff is horrible. Domo candy? That doesn’t even look remotely like Domo Kun.

This is supposed to be a pinata, but it looks like a piece of crap. My friend’s toddler could have made that. You can see more pictures of the damage here. It’s a sad day for Domo Kun fans…and for Target fans. I’m pissed that they produced this garbage.

    LOL. mia could’ve shit something out that looks more like domo than that pinata. haha!

    i didn’t see stuff that bad when i went to target. i didn’t see that weird domo candy skewer… or that pinata.

    i saw a decent little bag and i bought a few of those chocolate domos on a stick for the kids. hehe. actually, the only stuff i saw was pretty decent… i guess the targets are carrying different things?

    i’m sure different Targets have different things. i’ve seen a few pictures here and there and nothing liked too bad. the ones on that blog are pretty awful.

    i haven’t been on a Target run yet, but i’ll have to investigate soon.

    I am still in shock that target has a domo run.
    those pictures are God-awful.. I hope they are rare rare cases.

    the candy makes me feel diabetic.

    Domo Kun? More like Target is selling Domo Turd.

    Grace – I dunno. I think you might be disrespecting Mia’s shitting abilities. That Domo pinata looks worse than a piece of shit.

    The person at Target in charge of this debauchery should be fired and then tortured via waterboarding.

    lisa: i saw a Domo Kun trick or treat bag somewhere and it was pretty stupid. i hate this stuff.

    tardis: Domo Turd!! that’s exactly what it is. i’m not going to boycott Target anytime soon but i’m knocking over the first crappy display i see. who’s with me?!

  12. Marcus says:

    This is truly a sad day for Domo-kun. What used to be cute is now hideous.

  13. hana says:

    marcus: if you see any of these displays in person, it’s even worse. i don’t want to see Domokun in Frankenstein form.

  14. The DarK Mitzuki says:

    I dunno why people posting here are hating on the Domo plushes we are carrying, I think they’re really cool.

    If you don’t like the Domos made by Jakks, please do feel free to suggest another manufacturer holding the Domo license and making plushes.

    It’s a little more constructive than just hatin on our products…

  20. hana says:

    Benny: the comments here are directed towards the Halloween Domo displays that were at Target for halloween. I was not a fan of some of the Domo-related products, and I stand by my opinion. I actually like the licensed Domo Kun plush dolls and the flocked vinyl by Dark Horse.

  23. Mr.Domo says:

    A sad day it was, i guess they expected domo kuns fan love to surpass that of even a shitty designed merchandise, huge mistake as this only hurts the fan base. a sad sad day it was.
