Hello y’all! It’s been a little while, but that’s because I haven’t done anything blog-worthy, but this past week things have been a bit exciting…My lovely Sarah got to grips with ‘flymo’ and started modelling a Doom mask…
Because we were customizing our Droplets for my launch show!I did a bit of drilling and got rid of his lil’ monsters…
Sarah got mad tech… and she’s never even used modelling clay before, how good is that!!?
Blam! MF Doomlet!
Mine was pretty lame but nevermind! (it’s not finished in that pic)
Time to pack-up all the bits and go back to the mothership, ready for the launch in Birmingham
I was a bit nervous the week before, worrying that the shipment of Droplets wouldn’t arrived, but they did, and I was stoked!
The day before I went off to Hinckley college to teach a ‘Master Class’ - It was mad fun, the students were rad, I gots them doing a bit of live art!
I got them to film it too, so they could timelapse it and make it into an edit!
They did good!
Had a quick bout of Guitar Hero with Mart in ‘tevening
Had a sleepytime and then before I knew it, it was Friday and time to make my way to Brum for the launch @ Go Go Plastic!
The dude from the Gadget Show was filming something outside - the cameraman did an awful ’swing-camera-underarm-to focus-on-mans-face’ shot, look out for it on the next show.
Woo woo! The little beauties got there safe & sound!
The only 128 available anywhere, a world-first!!!
My man Kurt @ 5280 Lasers did an awesome job, making me lots and lots of laser-cut lovelies!
Started unpacking the awesome customs!
The rad vinyl wall graphics kindly donated by PopCling started getting put up, keep your eyes peeled for an edit which see’s myself and Anna making a right tits-up job of applying them
It was starting coming together…
Jay kindly drove us to Morrisons to stock up on the essentials - Alcohol & Sweets
Sarah sorted out the sweets by eating them
Sweets and badges, what more could you want!?
More customs!
I got my film on. Keep your eyes peeled for a HD edit coming real soon!
Rhubarb & Custard-coloured JF
Droplet pins!
Sarah (PuppyFactory) killed it!
Before I knew it, it was showtime!!
Norm & Emma bought the very first Droplet, they got box #1…
… and it was the special black ‘chase’ figure!!!
What are the chances!? So stoked to think this is the very first purchased Droplet in the whole wide world!
Katie & Ross
Harkatron & her ‘Refreshers’ Droplet!
Ross & his ‘Rhubarb & Custard’ Droplet!

I can’t tell you how stoked I am that people came to check it out!
Lovely lovely customs
The brothers Lister & Jonny ‘The Claw’ Clooney
Ma et la Pa!
Matt & Dean did a swapzie. Dean was very happy about that.
Sarah is little. Pone is big.
Well stoked, 70 - over half the whole shipment - sold on the night! Thank you lovely people!Those Droplets are all hand-numbered aswell, and also have an extra fancy glossy coating on that the other Droplets for the rest of the world wont have, so they’re super special!
I haven’t got my own Droplets yet, so Louise from Go Go kindly gave me one as a gift…
…it turned out to be a black one!! What are the chances!?
After the exciting times were all over, it was time for us to retire to Nite Nite!
It was swanky
Had this star-trek-steez controller
With a 100-foot telly at the end of the bed
What better way to end the perfect day than with a twix straw & tea combo!?
Breakfast time. We paid so we thought we’d eat every bit we could.
A trip to brum isn’t complete without a visit to Selfridges
Before we all went home, we went back to Go Go to snap some nice pics of all the work in the daylight…
I told you Kurt was a wizard with that laser…
Big love to Pop Cling & 5280 Lasers!
It’s like I have 40 2.5inch children. This is the stance I’d take if a Swan tried to attack them.
All packaged up lovely, ready for some kind folk to give them new homes!
The factory of Jam
Bwad boy customs!
After a proper ball-ache of a journey home with the most rude and useless coach driver, we were safe and soundly home. I treated myself to some goodies from Go Go…
Sarah loves her ‘Campino’ Droplet!
I finally got a copy! I had to overlooked the fact HMV shafted me fifty notes for the privilege
Rich went to NYC and brought me back some goodies!
I want one of these.
Do you reckon he’d slash prices with his adimantium claws?
Sarah is the master of GHIII, She doesn’t fuck about…
That’s all from me my lovelies…
You can see all my photo’s from the launch night on my Flickr @ flickr.com/photos/jamfactory/sets/72157604880315520/ and keep your eyes peeled for a HD edit real soon!
A massive thank you to everyone involved - Crazy Label, Go Go Plastic, Pop Cling, 5280 Lasers, Sarah, Anna, Pone, Dean, All of the customizers and all the super kind people who took the time to come on down, I REALLY appreciate it!!
I would link you up to where you can buy the toys online but I’m very happy to tell you that this first world-exclusive shipment has now sold out!! Keep your eyes peeled on the Droplet mini site and Go Go Plastic for more info though, as the worldwide shipments will go out in about a month, so fear not if you missed out at launch!
Thanks for reading you lovely person you!
