Lost Worlds: Creatures from Beyond at Stranger Factory

    Oooooooooh this is gonna be so good.  Stranger Factory is Albuquerque (do you know how freakin hard that is to spell) New Mexico is having a new show that starts tomorrow featuring some of my favorite toy people.  Lost Worlds: Creatures from Beyond will feature new work from Paul Kaiju, Splurrt, and Mutant Vinyl Hardcore, and more.  Check out some of the stuff that Splurrt is sending for the show right here:

    The opening reception is tomorrow night from 6-9pm and hopefully some of this stuff will make its way online in the near future.  

    Paul Kaiju will also be teaching a class in mini figure sculpting this Sunday.  For $85 you get a 3 hour class with the man himself with an additional hour long q&a afterwards.  Learn all of his secrets and then become a toy making phenomenon yourself.  Then have your own show, become rich and famous, and date a Kardashian sister.  

Red Edition of Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser from Toy Art Gallery Releases Today!

    Can you sprain your eyeball?  I think I might have.  See, I got sucked into that whole Candy Crush nonsense and I think I played it until I sprained my right eye.  I woke up this morning, ready to share my wealth of secret toy knowledge and overall general insight into the workings of the world when I noticed my eye was literally sore.  I think my addiction to that silly online game has come to a head.  I'll be expecting an intervention soon.  Be gentle.

    Hopefully my eye doesn't split open and reveal that something like this has been chewing on my optic nerve like a Twizzler.  This red edition of Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser will release today at 12pm Pacific time from Toy Art Gallery.  He's a pretty sinister looking bro.  Get one for yourself by going to http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.

My Top 10 Things I Want from SDCC

    It seems the popular thing to do on blogs is to create lists.  Fearing criminal prosecution from most of the lists I would like to post, I instead decided to make a list of 10 things I would like to own from San Diego Comic Con.  These are in no particular order.

    Anytime someone around me is complaining of any physical ailment I always tell them that their symptoms are consistent with that of a tapeworm living in their gut.  Thus far, I have only been successful at getting one person to actually go to the doctor with this concern, but I keep trying.  

    Ferg x Grody Shogun made this Young Gohst with a major parasitic issue for Lulubell Toy Bodega's booth #5045.  Get one on Saturday for $45.

    Ferg also made this big ol suicidal cat for Rotofugi's booth #5248 starting tonight for $120.

    I pretty much want everything Frank Kozik makes, but I narrowed it down to two things I really really really want.  First up is the hand painted Mr. Monsanto.  This releases tomorrow at 2pm at his booth #5051 for $100.

    The second thing is this Mishka collaboration Labbit from Kidrobot.  I haven't even seen what it looks like but I know it's a must have.  These will be $99.99 at booth # 4995 on Saturday at noon. 

    It all of a sudden got real cute in here.  Balance is the key to life my friends, so I've gotta balance out the blood and guts with some sugar and spice.  Brandi Milne's Sugar Lamb, Go! fits the bill.  For $90 you can get this at 3DRetro's booth #5051.  

    Also from 3DRetro comes this little ice cream dude from Gary Baseman.  He's only $55, which I think is a deal.  

    Retro Outlaw has given the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter a new mission:  jump over Snake Canyon on your motorcycle, while on fire, while watching Breaking Bad on Netflix.  Piece of cake, dummies.  Visit booth #929, give 'em $120, and live forever in glory! 

    Classic He-Man figures with Charles Manson heads and custom paint jobs from Skinner? Yeah, I'll take one of those.  DKE will be selling 50 of these, each one unique, for $150.  Get one Friday at 11am.  

    Speaking of Skinner, look at these guys.  He designed the one on the left while Paul Kaiju designed the one on the right and sculpted them booth.  Get the set for $55 from Lulubell Toy Bodega booth #5045 on Friday.  

Last, but certainly not least, is this 8 inch Dunny from Jon-Paul Kaiser x Kidrobot.  Again, who knows what it looks like, but who cares!  It's not gonna suck.  Get one Friday at noon from booth #4945.

Well there you have it.  I'm sure I forgot some stuff.  As always, presents are always appreciated and tax deductible.***

***Probably not though

Pollen Kaiser "Devilman GID" from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery

    Guess what?  This dude releases today!!!!  I know I've been doing that a lot.  And by "that" I mean posting stuff on the day its released, but hear me out on this one.  I'd like to think of myself and the last minute reminder you have to get something you want.  Sure, I could tell you about it 2 weeks ago, you could forget because you found out you have a tapeworm, and then where does that leave you?  By this time you would have already taken the proper medication to kill the tapeworm, begun evacuating it's dead worm segments from your intestines, and have prepared yourself to welcome happiness back into your life.  And then here it is, handed to you on a silver platter.  No need to thank me, it is after all why I was put on this Earth.

    

    I loooooooooooooooooove Paul Kaiju's Pollen Kaiser.  It's a big hunk 'o weird plastic and this version is painted in homage to Devilman!  And it glows in the dark!  Finally, I can save money on my electric bill!

    Toy Art Gallery is offering this dude up for sale TODAY (June 21st) at 12pm Pacific time.  He's $195 and totally worth it.  You want one.  I want one.  I would get a Kickstarter going to buy one if I had enough time.
