Freddy Krueger Video Game Edition from NECA




    N.E.C.A. released what turned out to be one of the biggest hits of San Diego Comic Con in their Jason Voorhees figure modeled after the horrible NES game.  Well less we not forget that A Nightmare on Elm Street had a pretty terrible game of its own.  Now you can get Freddy inspired by how he looked in that slice of video game nostalgia.  And he will be packaged in a reproduction of the original game box.  This will be available at retail locations but will be extremely limited.  

New South Park and Street Fighter Mini Figures from Kidrobot





    You know what's great about these Southpark: The Stick of Truth figures from Kidrobot?  You can buy the one's you want.  That's right,  they're all sold in window boxes, which means no surprises.  It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of blind boxes and that is strictly from a financial stand point.  I still have a huge box full of doubles and each time I look at it I just think about something awesome I could have bought with that money.  Like electricity.

    Ok, so these new Street Fighter figures ARE blind boxed, which of course I've just told you how much I hate.  And I stick by that.  The good thing is I know Kidrobot is without a doubt going to release something else that I'm gonna have to have, so that frees up some cash for me to get something I really want.  What's great about this series is the appeal it has to people who maybe wouldn't buy a vinyl toy before but will now fall in love with them, allowing this great sub culture of the toy world to keep growing.  




    The South Park figures will be available for $9.99 each on September 5th while Street Fighter series 2 will be released August 29th for the same price.

Masked Uamous from Toy Art Gallery



    When the aliens finally do invade our planet and makes us all their slaves, I hope they're at least this cute.  It will take some of the sting out of our sudden fall from the top of the food chain.  Uamou has taken her little horned guy and added a copper mask to him, hiding whatever bad intentions he may have.  They will come in two sizes: the 4 inch one will be $50 while the 7 inch one (that features a body crafted by RealxHead) will be $200.  Get one for yourself on Friday, August 9th, at noon Pacific time from Toy Art Gallery.  



Exclusive Alavaka from Devil's Head Productions x Toy Art Gallery



    This little creep looks like he would have no problem trading your soul for a bag of peanuts.  Lightly salted ones at that.  And he's probably full of bad advice.  Seriously, if you find yourself wandering around in the woods and stumble upon some dude that looks like this, don't call the Discovery Channel and try to get your own show, just run.  Your blurry cell phone video that they find along with your severed arm isn't going to be worth much.

     Devil's Head Productions have created this dude, called Alavaka, specifically in this colorway for Toy Art Gallery.  This 5 inch tall evil guru will cost $60 and will come with either black or clear crystal eyes, which are packaged randomly.  Get one for yourself this Friday, August 9th, at 12pm Pacific time from http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.

L'il Kim Illin Glo Pink Resin Figures from Frank Kozik



    Well there you have it.  Everything is neatly spelled out for you right on the picture there.  Nothing much for me to do here I suppose.   Which I guess is good because I do have other things I should accomplish on my day off.  I need to go to the grocery store and get some bread and some ham.  I have to pay my association fees for my neighborhood too, or else I'll forget and they'll charge me a late fee, which sucks.  There's nothing I detest more than a late fee, except for Kanye West.  And there's always dishes to wash.  It amazes me how quickly every dish in the house gets dirty between two people and three cats.  I think Sharon has been eating dinner multiple times on nights when I work.  It's the only way to explain it.  I'm gonna go take a shower.


Tooth Decay from Creo Design




    I'm not a fan of the dentist.  I'm also not a fan of getting my hair cut, but I think that's more to do with the mortal fear of a slip of the scissors and months of wearing a baseball hat.  I used to have long hair and I had it for nearly 15 years, so when I decided to cut it short it was frightening.  What if me head was oddly shaped?  What if I had a birth mark in the shape of Africa that you would be able to see?  I'd still rather get my hair cut than go to the dentist though, cause there's just something about some dudes hand shoved into my mouth with sharp instruments that I find unappealing.  

    Creo Design is channeling ll of our oral fear with this Tooth Decay resin figure.  This sucker is 7 inches tall and will come in any color you want.  That's right, the first 9 pieces will be available in any color you want.  Choose one for the body, and one for the tooth.  Personally, I would go matte black with a gold tooth.  These go on sale Friday, August 9th, at 12pm GMT for $160 with free shipping.  The free shipping deal lasts for a month, at which point you're gonna have to pay a little extra to have one delivered to your door.  





Look at all the colors you can choose from!

    They also have a few of these worm crawly machiney thingys from Doktor A.  You can have one for $120 and they are also limited to 100 pieces.
