Forest Tale

Halogen adds her special touch to the Arcade with her new machine A Forest Tale. One of the things Half Deer does best is cross breeding! Yes, I said it and its right in the brand name! She has been making us all a little bit woodland animal for years but I just about lost it when I saw what she had done to bunnies for her Arcade gacha. These little guys have the sweetest butterfly wings and a wonderful hold animation. Don't worry about rezzing them either, they are only 1 LI. The jewelry in this set is worth playing for as well. Beads and ribbons mix with metal and other findings making some truly unique accessories. Owl lovers will swoon over the two wide eyed versions in this gacha as well. They have curious blinking eyes and perch themselves sweetly in your hand. Available September 1st , where else but the Arcade!

Arcade Junk

The Arcade is two years old this round. I have to admit, after 2 years playing the Arcade, I am not the same player I used to be.One of the big differences is that I have developed very clear favorites with regard to creators. One of those is the brand Junk. They have a very bohemian sensibility which appeals to the deadhead in me, with the added swank of my favorite era, the 1950's. Unique, chic and always a little weathered, Junk is always a go to machine. This round they offer "One Man's Junk" which they described as being little bits of what you might find at a flea market. All I can say is this is one very cool flea market! The pipe phone is really cool and the daybed animations are new and different. The fan RARE is super sweet, you can fill it with your own pictures. Other items featured here you can find in the Junk store.

DRD did a poll on their Facebook page about this machine. Jaimy asked what people would like to see and GEEKS prevailed! Here she has taken gaming to the next level and turned it into a bunch of wearable stuff. I put on my personal favorites for the shot below. Make sure to read all of the little pins and the details on the tablet screen. They are pretty funny. Both of these machines can be found at the Arcade opening September 1st on their brand new region The Arcade or cam shop from their homestead Gacha Galley.

Happy Birthday Collabor88

It seems like only a few rounds ago we were all dressing up for the last C88 birthday round with all of the great vintage clothing. This round is going to be Greek inspired with all sorts of variations on the theme and also some classic must haves like the letter set from Seven Emporium. Now look close at these because they are not like ones previously released. The wall version of this set is an utter necessity if you own any kind of sim or business. This simple lettering will go a long way as it is resizable and has a color change option.

Take to the sky with Flowey, she has released the Throne of Smite an attachable chair that allows you to hover around above the crowd and looking down in judgement. Also released is this Bolt of Smite which will fire real thunderbolts in case anyone challenges your right to the throne.

Get your Medium Slink feet ready Remarkable Oblivion has tried their hand at the cobble and produced these super chunk wedges in three natural shades. If you love a big shoe these will delight you to no end. This is also their maiden run in Collabor88 and I hope not their last.

Also in this picture a killer release from Spellbound. Does this creator EVER fail at hair?...nope. Jezebel is a brand new in store release and is full of body and style. The vest is from Fantasy Gacha Carnival and made by Pixicat.The hip bag is Remarkable Oblivion for Mens Dept. What a fantastic month of shopping!

Happy Birthday Gachatopia!

Gachatopia opened one year ago this month. I will never forget the day we opened and people poured in looking around wondering what the heck this place was going to be. It was hard to explain because it was just an idea. A place for all things gacha, is all we could really say. There was no one renting and no one in the group but gacha fans flooded over the sim and most of them never left. Many of the original members of the community have become good friends and we are proud to say that one year later, that community has grown to one of the largest, most active gacha communities in Second Life.

Gachatopia celebrates this month with some great gifts and two amazing Gacha Shows. Saturday the 2nd at 2pm slt we have the colorful Katat0nik here for an interview. She has made everyone this little fox plushie you see in these images. Everyone who attends will get one. Speaking of Gacha Show gifts, we are releasing some past gifts out into the Gachatopia community via free raffles over the course of the month to celebrate. If you missed a past show, join the Gachatopia chat group, you may just get lucky and win!

Another important and loved part of Gachatopia are the creators who have supported us and joined in the fun here over the past year. We are always humbled when they take the time out to participate in our crazy ideas. The Gacha Show is just the beginning. We have something planned for fall that involves 50 of the best creators in Second Life called TAG! Gacha we think you will all love. One of those creators Jaimy Hancroft of DRD has made us a special gift for our first anniversary. The gacha machine backpack you see in these photos can be found in the notices of the Gachatopia chat group for the rest of the month.

Happy Birthday Gachatopians! Thank you for an amazing year!
