Toxic Green Daigomi from Mechavirus x Guumon



    I'm telling you, and remember to give me credit when it actually happens, any day now something looking like this guy is gonna pop out of the middle of Staten Island and wreck New York.  Somebody better get the mayor on the phone and propose building a missile defense system stat, cause this dude looks pissed.

    Behold Daigomi, the crazy plastic creation of Guumon.  This is the Toxic Green edition of the figure and was painted up by Mechavirus and sold exclusively through the fine folks at Kaiju Monster.   I've seen these guys in person a few times and they are massive, which makes their $100 price tag one of the best bargains you'll find as a toy collector.  You know you want one, so now I'll tell you how to get it.

    Purchasing one of these guys can only be accomplished by entering a lottery.  You have from February 4th - 13th to email mzwar001@gmail.com with "Toxic Green Daigomi" in the subject line.  Include your name, address, and PayPal account name in the body of the email.  Then you have to pray to the toy Gods and hope that you get the chance to buy one.  The winners of the lottery will be announced on the 15th.



Hug the Killer: Love Bug Edition from Mighty Jaxx



    If only these were the critters you got when you ate raw pork!  No one would mind having a bunch of these dudes living in your intestinal track, syphoning nutrients from your already digested meals.  It would be like having adorable little pets that hopefully would take a bath before you played with them.

    Hug the Killer is all pinked out just in time for Valentine's Day.  Is he really gonna hug you, or is he gonna eat you?  Who knows, but he's freakin cute so you should take the chance.  Mighty Jaxx only made 50 of this 4 inch tall love worm (I wouldn't Google 'love worm' if I were you) and he is $50.  Get him right now from their website.  

Love Yeti Mini Marshall from 64 Colors x Rotofugi



    Normally, I stay clear of any big hairy thing that is hell bent on trying to love me.  It's just one of those weird personal rules I have.  Call me crazy, but it has served me well thus far in life.  So this guy makes me a tad nervous, though luckily he is actualy quite tiny and I could step on him if he tries to get too fresh.

    64 Colors and Rotofugi are releasing this special Love Yeti Mini Marshall just in time for Valentine's Day.  Maybe I'll get one of these for my wife, cause if you ask me other Valentine's Day presents are just asking for trouble.  Sure, girls love diamonds, but so do muggers.  You think I'm ever gonna hear the end of that one if she gets robbed for her sweet diamond necklace?  And flowers die, which could be a bad omen for your relationship.  Chocolates make you gain weight and no man can afford for their lady to buy an entire new wardrobe because of a misguided gift.  You see what I'm getting at here?  This guy is the safest of all presents you could possibly get that special someone in your life.  Or someone's if you're scandalous.

    The Love Yeti goes on sale Tuesday, February 5th at 11am Central time at http://www.rotofugi.com/ for the low low price of $7.95.

Clear Orange Resin Gipper Bust from Frank Kozik




    Normally I don't post stuff up on the weekends because I figure you guys are all still drunk or in jail and won't get to read it anyway.  Each post is a tiny work of literary genius that contains profound information you can use to your benefit.  If you didn't see them I would cry/cut myself and who needs that?  

    Frank Kozik is at it again with his wacky resin hijinks.  This orange Gipper resin bust is for a show he has tonight at Varnish Fine Art in San Francisco.  If you can't make it to the show you can still get one of these because the gallery will have them for sale on their website.  The show starts at 6pm Pacific time, so I would keep an eye on http://www.varnishfineart.com/ around then.  There's only 50 of them and they will be $75 each.  That's a deal considering he makes them all himself.  Or he at least supervises his basement factory staffed with transients while he pets his cats and laughs maniacally.  Either way they turned out really nice.

Pseudomorphism: Blobpus vs. Paul Kaiju at Toy Art Gallery





    Toy Art Gallery would be reason enough to live in California.  It seems no matter when I check my email, they have some cool event going on that I get to drool about from 3,000 miles away.  Maybe they should open an East Coast location and they could have simultaneous toy shows, or they could treat it like a small town movie theater and we could get to see all the cool stuff 2 months after everyone else.  Either way I'm cool with it and just so every knows, this was my one genius idea for the day so don't expect too much more out of me.  My brain must rest now.


   This crazy show opens tomorrow night and will feature the works of Paul Kaiju, Blobpus, Hanawa, and Yamomark.  You wanna see crazy toys that are like an LSD nightmare come to life?  Then this is the place to be.  Scroll down a bit and you can get a quick preview of what they'll have there.



Custom Toys of the Week: Blinded By Love Blind Box Series



    I live near Atlantic City but I never partake in the casinos.  You wanna know why?  Cause I hate losing money.  Any time I've ever lost money I think about all the things I could have bought with it instead of putting it into a machine with the hopes of hitting it big.  I'm a sucky gambler unless I know I'm gonna walk away with something, which I suppose defeats the purpose of gambling.  But if you fancy a game of chance with the guarantee of still getting something cool, then I have something for you.

    Dave Webb and a bunch of his fellow customizers put together this Blinded by Love custom Munny blind box series.  For $100 you get one of the customs you see above, plus you'll have the chance to score a golden ticket and get an extra one for free.  They go on sale February 5th at 5pm through http://davemarkart.storenvy.com/.

Cupid Cavey from A Little Stranger




     This is so cute I could die!  Literally die right here in my seat.  But I have to be at work soon and I don't want to get in trouble for not calling to tell them I was dead, so maybe I'll just pass out and hit my head on the keyboard  uehfoeuhu3bujrjnvorj4porrofjekckn.dckdklncknihroh fhrfjk3rn3k/rn3r.

    Ok, I don't know how long I've been out, but I have a headaches and the letter J is suck up my nose.  OOOOOOOh my God it's sooooooooooooooo cute.  Just look at that wittle face, and those wittle wings.  It's Cupid Cavey and he (or she, I don't think they're gender specific) was made by A Little Stranger.  She hand made 40 of these little guys (or gals) and you can get one right now from http://heycavey.bigcartel.com/.
