Pearlescent Grey Garuru from Super7

    Is this bro sleeping? Am I that boring that he figured it would be more fun to take a nap than to read what I have to say? I guess when you have devil horns and a necklace made of skulls you probably aren't concerned with other peoples opinions anymore. Touché little demon guy, touché.

    This guy, who may or may not be paying attention, is named Garuru and he is sporting a brand new pearlescent grey paint job. Look at how thrilled he is about it.  Add him to your toy collection today at noon Pacific time for a mere $35 from the nice folks at Super7.  Just don't expect him to entertain you with anything more than his mere presence.

Resin Flame Mini Skulls from Matt Anderson

    I was lucky enough to meet Matt Anderson this past weekend because he was a part of my little toy show in Philadelphia. He had some of these with him at the time and I can tell you that the picture doesn't do them justice. Each of these mini resin skulls are hand made and painted by Mr. Anderson himself and are $30 a piece. You can make your collection a little more dangerous by going to http://matta.storenvy.com/.

Punkstar Frenzies from Tokidoki

    Ok, I like these guys a lot, especially the black metal dude looking all kvlt, but I do have a beef. These little guys, kinda like the Marvel ones tokidoki released last year, are zipper pulls. Not that that's the worst thing in the world, but I never know how to display them. If I use them as they are intended then the paint is eventually gonna rub off and I'll be upset. But if I don't use them then how do I show them off around the house? This is a conundrum that is eventually going to give me an ulcer. I just don't feel that I can win.

    There are 20 different rockers for you to collect and they come blind boxed for $5.95 each. Maybe you can help me with ideas on what to do with them and then I'll get some.

Super Alloy Batman Figure from Play Imaginative

    Holy crap how amazing is this toy? And it was made by Play Imaginative, who are better known for their vinyl art toys. This Batman figure was designed by Jim Lee and that shiny finish is due to the fact that it is 85% die cast metal. There are 50 points of articulation (even the fingers move) and it stands a full foot high. Now to make you a tiny bit sad. If you don't live in Singapore or have a really good friend that will help you get one, you're going to have a hard time getting one of these. Right now you can preorder the figure from the Play Imaginative retail store or you can get one at the Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention in September. Unfortunately those are you're only 2 options. If you have some vacation time and some extra money it could be a fun adventure.

Cherry Gumdrop by 64 Colors

    Whatcha doin on Wednesday? If you're not going to be near a computer you should amend your plans so you can snag one of these adorable, wooden pups. These hand made doggies are from the minds of 64 Colors and you need one. But not if you have termites, cause no wood munching bugs could resist nibbling on this little guy. You have one day to get an exterminator to your place.

The Toy Viking x Jinxed Philly Custom Show Wrap Up Extravaganza Party Something or Other

     I want to start off by saying thanks to everyone who came out to see the Munnyworld Custom Show that we put on with Jinxed. At one point there was actually a line of people waiting to see the toys and that blew my mind. And I definitely want to thank Jinxed and all of the artists that were able to contribute. And I'd like to thank my therapist, my cat groomer, my accountant, and my gardener. Just kidding, they were of no help whatsoever.

    So if you weren't able to attend, I forgive you, and since we took a ton of pictures, you can pretend like you were there with us. Check out our Instagram @TheToyViking or our Facebook page www.facebook.com/TheToyViking and look at all the amazing work. And if you're interested in purchasing any of the toys click on the Jinxed logo to the right for their online store.

Justice League x Korejanai Figures

    These guys are pretty wacky. This is of course the Justice League and they have been redesigned in the style of Kore Ja Nai, which means "this is not it". I have no idea how it came about, but I always enjoy when familiar characters are presented in a new way. For some reason they have wheels on their backs, which I suppose helps them save on gas, or something. Who knows. But I like them and if you do too you can get them from the folks at Kotobukiya who were nice enough to import them from Japan. Preorder your set of 2 and 1/2 inch tall figures by going here.
