Post Apocalypse Dunny Series from Huck Gee x Kidrobot

    I was lucky enough to see this entire set of figures at Toy Fair earlier in the week and they are even more amazing in person.  I'm glad that Huck Gee and Kidrobot produce these things, because owning one of the customs that he makes by hand would mean that I would have to peddle my organs on the black market.  Seems messy and painful.  But now I can have smaller versions for a fraction of the price and be just as happy.  

    This of course is the follow-up to the Apocalypse series from late last year and shows how the world has turned into a Mad Max type wasteland.  This is what its gonna look like if those crazy people from that Doomsday Preppers show are right.  You can get em on February 28th at all your usual places.  

    Huck Gee will also be doing a signing tour that will consist of every Kidrobot-branded retail store.  Here are the dates:

Glow in the Dark Deadbeet Toy Art Gallery Exclusive from Scott Tolleson

     Oooooh I see what the did there.  Deadbeet, like a vegetable corpse.  Very clever, cause I was wondering at first why they were making toys of father's who don't pay child support.  Now it makes a bit more sense.

    Scott Tolleson is the man behind this undead root and this glow in the dark version is an exclusive to Toy Art Gallery and on sale today!!!!  You can pick one by going to http://www.toyartgallery.com/ at noon Pacific time for $65.  And he is almost 8 inches tall, so you're getting a lot of plastic for your money, which is a good thing in our troubled world economy.

Toy Fair 2013: Mimobot

    Mimobot is everywhere these days.  Pretty much anything you're into has a corresponding flash drive for you to store all of your secrets.  Their big reveal at Toy Fair was the new My Little Pony line that was just released.  I'm still holding out for a Sanford and Son flash drive, but they tell me the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.  A boy can dream though.  

    And right now they're offering 20% off through their website but the sale ends on Valentine's Day.  Get on it!

Toy Fair 2013: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

     Ok, so I loved the TMNT when I was a kid and maybe pitched a fit to have them all the moment they were released.  Then I ripped the packages open and instantly lost half of the weapons.  I wonder how many of those little plastic ninja stars were eaten and then unceremoniously pooped out by pets all over the world?  Well Playmates showed off the most obvious innovation in Turtles toys ever at Toy Fair:  the shells open to store their weapons!  Why did this take 20 years to accomplish?  It's freaking genius!  

    Of course that's not the only cool TMNT items they had on display.  They had what felt like a make-shift house on the show floor full of em.  Of course I took more pictures than this, but not all of them will fit on this humble page, so check the rest out at www.facebook.com/thetoyviking.  

Winter White Monster Embryos from Taylored Curiosities

  
     I'm trying out this new blog posting app for my phone and it's already angered me.  Normally my pictures are first but not today.  Jerk app doesn't know how I roll.
     Most of the time I wouldn't stand for such nonsense, but I really wanted to get this up for my friend Taylored Curiosities, so I'll sacrifice a little.  These are her new Winter White Monster Embryos.  She only made 7 of them and they are available at 5pm GMT by clicking here.

Update:  This app sucks and I went home and fixed this post cause my OCD wouldn't let it stand.  Jerk app.

Toy Fair 2013: Argonaut Resins

    It was great to see Eric from Argonaut Resins at Toy Fair a few days ago.  He was working on a brand new sculpt and size of his Pharaoh Hound.  This guy stands 5 inches tall and should be available soon as he was making great headway on his wood carving.  He also had some custom Tuttz on display that I believe will be available in the near future.  Eric's a great guy to talk to as he's been doing this for awhile and has some great stories about the collectible toy world.  He's always at New York Comic Con so make sure you stop by next time and say hello.  And check out all of the cool stuff he makes at http://argonautsresin.blogspot.com/.  

Toy Fair 2013: Funko

    I seriously killed my camera battery at Funko's Toy Fair booth.  Especially on all of the new Pop! Vinyl figures they have coming out this year.  Some I had heard about online, but others I was surprised to see, like Beavis and Butthead and The Watchmen.  They will definitely be getting a lot of my hard earned cash this year.  You can see more of my pictures of their awesome wares at www.facebook.com/thetoyviking.  I'm warning you now:  they will blow your mind and you will probably ruin your credit score cause you will want every one of them.  

    This Vinyl Invader Batman was about as tall as my townhouse.  If I could have figured out how to get him on the train I would have been all about having this as the greatest lawn decoration known to man.
