Hand Painted Luftkaiser from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery

    The United States is all about flying these stupid unmanned drones over all of its cities to spy on everyone, but how long do you think it's gonna be before a bunch of hillbillies start shooting them out of the sky?  Maybe drone taxidermy will become a thing and people will mount their heads over their fireplaces with little brass plaques telling the date and location of their kill.  Yeah, we'll probably never find out if people are doing that because I would imagine the jail time would be pretty intense for shooting down the government's toys, but I'd love for it to catch on.  

    If the government were smart, it would have designed all of its drones to look like a Luftkaiser.  Could you imagine seeing this thing flying around and trying to peek in your windows?  You'd be so terrified the last thing on your mind would be trying to shoot it and get close to it.  Now I would like it to become a thing where the government redesigns all drones to look like monsters.  

    Paul Kaiju hand painted a run of these scary looking dudes that will go on sale exclusively through Toy Art Gallery tomorrow, Friday the 20th, at noon Pacific time.  You can get one for $75, which is a lot less than the fine will be for blowing a drone out of the sky.  I think I said "drone" enough in this post to now be on an official NSA watch list.  Oh joy!

    

Orange Drop 20 Inch Dunny from Andrew Bell x Kidrobot

    These 20 inch Dunnys are like buying a piece of furniture.  Not only do you have to have a decent amount of space for them, but they instantly become one of the first things people see when they enter your house.  We have a pretty awesome vintage couch that takes up most of our living room and people always love.  The other day our cat Jorah is sitting under it, batting around a small tack.  I go to take it from him and quickly realize where it came from.  He had torn the lining under the couch from front to back and created a little hammock for himself.  It was filled with random stuff that we had been missing for a while and he had this look of excitement on his face like he was so proud of his ingenuity and was glad he could finally share it with us.  It was like watching a feline episode of Mtv Cribs:  

"And over here you'll see my treasure hoard.  We have the stopper to the bathtub, about $15 in change,  the checkbook, an old cell phone, and a weird bone that the medical examiner may or may not have interest in."

"To your left is where the hot tub is getting installed, and over here is where the magic happens.  With your shoe.  Don't try and stop our love."

    The good thing about this giant Orange Drop Dunny from Andrew Bell and Kidrobot is that it is made of plastic, so at most Jorah would only be able to leave a few teeth marks in it.  Though it would be massive enough to carve the head out and make a nice cat bed, although a pricey one.  They will be available July 3rd for $399.99.  

Jorah, thinking about his next DIY project.  

The Eldritch Embryos from We Become Monsters

    Seems like everyone around me is having kids.  Sometimes I think I'd be good at raising a child, but other times I'm worried that I may try to sell them to a shoe factory as cheap labor.  And you never really know what you're going to get when you have a child do you?  It's biological gambling.  You may end up with a genius, you may end up with Charles Manson.  Kinda scary when you think about it.  

    What if one of these things pops out and starts calling you "dad"?  You know you're gonna have to ship it off to boarding school and hope it forgets how to get home, otherwise you can expect the rest of your town to eventually show up with torches and pitchforks at your front door.  We Become Monsters may have completely sworn me off of fatherhood with these Eldritch Embryos.  These frightening future monsters are available right now at http://webecomemonsters.storenvy.com/ for $28 each and are sold in random colors.  

More Bedtime Bunnies from Peter Kato

    Attempting to sleep in my house seems like more of an event than it really should be.  You have to make sure your feet are tucked securely beneath a blanket that has proven to be both bite and scratch proof, otherwise you will be awoken with sharp little pains followed by trickles of blood.  Our kitten Jorah has made it his life's mission to eradicate the world of useless toes.  And just the other night I awoke to the little warning coughs of an impending hairball just in time to avoid it being deposited on my forehead by Ophelia.  My pillow and the sheets were unfortunate casualties of the incident, but I rejoiced in making it out relatively unscathed.  

    I wish sleep could be less of a contact sport and as peaceful as it looks on the faces of Peter Kato's Bedtime Bunnies.  I bet they awake refreshed and without new scars from hyperactive kittens.  He's debuting a new color combination of orange and grey and well as restocking his pink and white versions.  They will go on sale this Thursday, June 19th, at midnight for $20 for the 3 inch versions, while the slightly smaller 2 and 1/2 inch ones will be $12.  They sell out every time they are offered, so get to http://peterkatoshop.com/ early and be ready.  

Holiday Harley Quinn Bombshells Statue from DC Collectibles

    Do stores have their Christmas decorations up yet?  I don't really pay attention when I go into places, because I usually know exactly what I want, grab it, and play a fun game called "let's get the hell out of here before we catch what these people have."  That game is really only effective at Wal-Mart, who do have the lowest grocery prices around if you can fight your way through the hoard of mutants.  The trick is to not make eye contact, but you do miss a lot as a result.  Hence the fact that there may be Christmas trees littering the aisles and I wouldn't even have seen them.  I'm only oblivious to things when trying not to become the love prisoner of a gaggle of toothless hillbillies.  

    Now this is a holiday decoration I can get behind!  Harley Quinn's Bombshell statue got a festive remake just in time for you to start doing your house up in the spirit of the season.  Or if you don't celebrate Christmas for whatever reason you can still buy one and be marveled at how cute a fictional sociopath can be.  These will be available later in the year from DC Collectibles.  

   

Gummi Keiko: Sweet of the Dead from Fools Paradise

    One of the funniest things I've seen on the internet recently are the sugar free Gummi Bear reviews on Amazon.  Evidently whatever they use to sweeten those little squishy critters will make the fires of hell erupt from your backside.  For hours.  The stories are horrifying and hilarious at the same time.  If you're ready to laugh until you yourself feel ill, then click this link and revel in tales of the digestive misery of others.   

    So this guy is pretty frightening.  Try to ever eat a Gummi Bear again without thinking of a tiny skinned corpse sitting inside of it.  Not that it would make them any less delicious mind you, but if you feel a crunch when you bite into it you'll know what it was from. 

   This figure from Fools Paradise is pretty amazing though.  We've seen the anatomical versions of this candy before, but never like this.  I love how detailed the inner figure is, especially the painting of the muscles.  They're up for preorder right now at http://doublefools.blogspot.com/ through July 11th.  

Hazardous Taste Dunny from Sket-One x Huck Gee

    Anyone that knows me knows that I love orange Vitamin Water.  Or, I suppose I "loved" it until they recently changed the sweetener in it and made it taste disgusting.  Why do companies do that?  I couldn't have been the only person buying them by the case.  Sprite and 7up did it too in an effort to appease the health nuts and now both of those taste like drinking carbonated air freshener.  Their should be legislation that prevents stuff like this from happening.  We can call it the Lucas Law, in honor of the man who decided Star Wars was too brilliant and that he should add some cgi nonsense to it years later because being a billionaire is boring work unless you can ruin everything that people love.  Vitamin Water, you are the computer animated Jabba the Hut of the beverage world.  

    Ok, so this Dunny is called Hazardous Taste, but his contents look delicious, like that Ecto Cooler Hi-C put out years ago.  Couldn't be that bad for you, right?  Huck Gee and Sket-One have teamed up again for yet another impressive Dunny release.  And the clock has already started ticking on your ability to get one, because the window of opportunity to order closes when the clock strikes midnight tonight.  Only the amount ordered will be produced so you need to be a man (or woman) of action and get yourself in on the deal.

The Big Push to Bring Little Maddie to Life

    We're have officially one week left to go to make Little Maddie from Bigshot Toyworks a reality and there is still a lot of room to help and a lot of really cool rewards for doing so.  They've added the option to get a completely clear version of the figure that you can see here:

    You can also pick up different customized versions of this Cthulhu-possessed horsey from the likes of Mark Nagata, Martin Hsu, Monster Kolor, Small Angry Monster, Nemo, and Mechavirus.  These will all be one of a kind so you'll have ultimate bragging rights if you snag one.  This is the first time I've ever personally backed a Kickstarter project and I really really want to see this thing succeed.  Not even just for me though, but for the people that have worked hard to create it.  Go to this link and help out any way you can.  Even if it's only a $1 you're still helping it get closer to goal.    

Antichrist 666 Lucky Bags from Frank Mysterio

    What is it about monsters that is so appealing?  Is it because the bad guy always seems like he's having a bit more fun?  I it because we each have a little bit of the sinister within us all that these guys appeal to?  Is it because they are creative representations of how harsh the world we live in has become?  I think it's because we're all bored.  We're bombarded with so many things that just aren't interesting that we lose are minds when we see something with so many nuances, so much detail.  That's how I feel about Frank Mysterio's Antichrist 666 figure.  While it has a name that many people would feel uncomfortable with, this is one intense monstrosity.  He's a complex character that is anything but run of the mill.  Right now you can snag one of these dudes for only $60 as part of a lucky bag sale Frank has going on right now.  Head over to http://frankmysterio.bigcartel.com/ and pick yourself up a crazy looking toy on the cheap.  

God of War Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    Kratos is the baddest dude in the history of video games.  He slaughtered every monster that looked at him sideways, became a god, destroyed not only the titans but the entire Greek pantheon and then plunged the entire world into unimaginable chaos.  And he did it all while being forced to wear the ashes of his dead wife and daughter.  Doesn't make that dolphin tattoo you got on your ankle during spring break much of a good story anymore does it?

   Funko has gone and tried to make the former God of War as cute as they could in Pop! Vinyl form.  He's available now to inspire you to greater heights of manliness.  

Legends of Cthulhu Kickstarter Campaign from Warpo

    I'm digging this new trend of making retro style action figures that should have existed.  There's been a few cool ones, there's been lots of crappy ones, and now let me present to you the very best ones.  From the tales of H P Lovecraft come the Legends of Cthulhu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I know you want them all right now, but in order to make that happen you gotta donate to their Kickstarter campaign.  Click this link and pledge all your monies to the elder gods in order to earn their favor when they return to enslave mankind.  Or to just get some cool toys, but not pissing them off couldn't hurt either, right?  

Brought to you by the fine folks at Warpo.

  

Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Ghostbusters With This Octopup from Nathan Hamill x 3DRetro

    Sharon and I just watched Ghostbusters 2 on Netflix the other night and as a result would like to petition Rick Moranis to make more movies.  That dude is seriously funny, and he didn't have to rely on toilet humor like most comedians do these days.  That makes me sound kinda old, but I don't care, because I don't think it takes any talent to be crude.  Now get off my lawn before I call the cops!

    In case you didn't know, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters film.  Do you remember the scene in the library where they irritate the lady ghost while she's reading and she gets all mad and transforms into a hideous creature?  That scared the crap out of me when I was little, so much so that each time I watched the movie I would turn away at that part.  I was also scared of Jaws, my own shadow, dirt, free range monkeys, the Dewey decimal system, and nursing homes to name a few, but that ghost ranked up there.  Lucky for me I outgrew most of those and have become a pillar of manliness that can look that scary lady in the eyes and know that she won't keep me up at night most times.  

    The best way to celebrate any milestone in life is to buy toys, so lucky for you Nathan Hamill and 3DRetro have created an Octopup to mark this occasion.  He looks like he was molded from the same wad of goo that the ever popular Slimer was, and he will be available to haunt your halls beginning this Sunday, June 8th, at noon Pacific time from http://www.3dretro.com/.

   And I'm still serious about Rick Moranis making more films.  Lets get a Kickstarter going to make Spaceballs 2 happen.  

"Hello Ohio" Mr. Toast Solo Show at Rivet Gallery

    The world would be a better place if their were more anthropomorphic food items.  You can't be upset when you see a group of breakfast noms that are all friends and look ready to go on adventures.   And their friendship spans different food groups, which is a good message for the kids (and one apparently Justin Bieber didn't receive based on his little videos that are surfacing).

    Rivet Gallery is presenting "Hello Ohio" a new solo art show from Mr. Toast that will open this Saturday.  Just look at the picture up there and tell me you won't enjoy yourself.   They're gonna have a photo booth, and giveaways, and free beverages that if you drink enough of the toast will actually start talking to you (you shouldn't drink that much by the way).  They also will be celebrating their 7th anniversary, which is a pretty big achievement these days.

For more info check out http://rivetart.com/.  

Breaking Bad Pop! Vinyls from Funko

    Breaking Bad ended as perfectly as any show could, but now Bryan Cranston has hinted that since we never actually know whether or not Walt is actually dead that there could be more episodes in the future.  I really really really hope he was just trying to stir the rumor mill for his own amusement, because that could be a terrible disaster.  I hate when people can't leave well enough alone (I'm looking at you George Lucas) and end up ruining the memory of something great.  

    If you want more Breaking Bad story lines, just buy all of these figures and make up your own.  You can continue the madcap adventures of Walt and Jesse as they create that popular blue stuff and get everyone around them killed.  These Pop! Vinyls from Funko will be available starting in July and you can preorder them from Entertainment Earth by clicking on the link to the right.  

Baby Skeletor Doll from Mattel

    I take back everything I ever said about dudes playing with dolls.  Well, not all of it, but if the doll just happens to be an infant Skeletor, then by all means.  What can I even say about this that the pictures don't?  It's Skeletor and it's a baby doll.  And this isn't just some little figure that's in scale with the rest of the Masters of the Universe line, no no no, this is the size of something you would by your daughter and go AWWWWWWWWWWW every time she hugged it.  I almost want to have kids because of this toy.  And he comes with a toilet, so he can make his evil little poops and pees.  It really is the first throne any terrible ruler will have in life. 

    So I know you want this, if nothing more than to give as a gift to terrify some unsuspecting child.  Hopefully they won't be too hard to get, as it looks like they will be first made available to people who subscribe to the Masters of the Universe figure thingy that Mattel has.  Whatever's left will be available at this link on June 16th at 9am.  I may be late for work that day.   

Milk Magazine Exclusive Iron Man from 3A

    Seeing the amazing job that 3A has done on their Iron Man figures makes me hopeful that Marvel will let them run wild with every super hero they want.  I know they are working on a Dr. Doom, but I'd love to see a crazy version of two of my favorites, Thor and Loki.  A boy can dream, right?  

    Their Iron Man figure is even better looking in person.  I got to see them at this year's Toy Fair and no one that buys this will be disappointed.  In fact, it will probably make all your other toys look so lame that you'll sell them all to buy more 3A stuff.  

    Milk Magazine is the exclusive retailer for this version and he will be going up for preorder tomorrow until June 30th.  Get yours at http://www.milkcargo.com/.

Plaseebo's Skulloctopus Gets a Mechavirus Makeover

    The longer I do this, the more my views on toys and what I want to collect have changed.  Sometimes in a negative way, but I'd rather focus on the more positive aspects.  For one, I have grown a tremendous appreciation for the people that are doing it all on their own.  No big company or investors backing them with endless capital, no factories churning out tens of thousands of the exact same "limited" toy.  No, these are the guys that cleared space in their house, filled it with sometimes toxic chemicals, and made their crazy visions a reality.  Their minds are filled with paint schemes and character names and trying to figure out the time to make it all happen.  And like most writer's (certainly this one) they do it for love rather than money (though money would be pretty awesome).  

    Two of these people that I have come to admire are Plaseebo and Mechavirus, and they have pooled their insane talents on these Skulloctopus figures.  There are six of these figures in this series, each one different from the next so that you truly get a one of a kind piece.  They're going to be available this Friday, June 6th, at http://www.plaseebo.net/news/ for $175 each.  

Madam Mayhem 8 Inch Dunny from Kronk x Kidrobot

    You know the problem with gentlemen's clubs?  Other than the fact that I would never want to sit anywhere in pants that I didn't plan to burn later?  There's no creativity.  Sure, the semi-nude acrobatics of young girls trying to pay their way through law school can be exciting for a bit, but after a while it's old hat.  I'm a sucker for a good theme and a bit of showmanship, so how come they don't mix their interests or talents into their performances?  One girl could read tarot cards and breath fire, or they could all wear vintage Halloween masks and it could be more horror themed.   Or maybe I just over think everything.

    Kronk gets where I'm coming from as is evident in these new 8 inch Dunnys he's releasing with Kidrobot.  They remind me of Selma Hayek in From Dusk Til Dawn, which is a prime example of what I was talking about before.  She certainly is wearing less than those fortune tellers on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, so it leads me to believe she works in a more risque establishment.  The green chica is the regular version, while the purple lady is a 1 in 6 chase variant.  These witchy women will be available starting this Thursday, June 5th, for $74.99 wherever you prefer to procure your toys.  

Sons of Anarchy Jax Prison Variant from Mezco Toys

    I'm gonna be honest with you:  I am not cut out for prison.  For one, I got a big germ problem.  The first time my cell mate poops in front of me I might lose my mind.  And I'm not the biggest fan of getting punched in the face, or shanked with a tooth brush that someone has whittled down to a lethal point.  I think if I ever had to go to jail I would just start acting crazy so they put me in solitary so at least I can go insane because of my own lame company and not because some behemoth has decided I'm the prettiest thing he's seen in a long time.   And I don't think they have Wi-Fi.

   I can't believe Sons of Anarchy is in the midst of filming their final season right now.  I'm excited to see how the whole thing wraps up, because there's no way it's not going to blow my mind, but I'm sad because it is the end.  I've invited these characters into my home for the last seven years and lived vicariously through their fictional lives that are far removed from mine and it will feel like losing a friend.  But the show will live forever in DVD players and on shelves of collectors through Mezco's line of action figures.  Their newest release is going to be this version of Jax Teller all decked out in his finest correctional facility wear.  He'll be available at all the major conventions this summer as well through a preorder at http://www.mezcotoyz.com/ beginning June 13th at 1pm Eastern time.  

    

Stepping Through Walls at Toy Art Gallery **Update**

    So I originally posted this last week, but the show is actually THIS SATURDAY.  I swear that I'm not drinking when I'm updating this site. However I am usually stopping one or more cats from eating something they shouldn't on my desk or trying to play Smackdown on all my stuff.  

    Toy Art Gallery has a pretty big show starting Saturday featuring some cool toy folks, but the reason I would be there (if I lived, oh I don't know, about 3,000 miles closer) is for these Death Cat figures from Johan Ulrich:  

    How great are these?  The answer is "these are amazing."  When we first got married, my wife and I lived in an apartment complex that had a few stray cats living outside.  One of these dudes was quite a beast, and he was missing his tail, half of an ear, and only had one eye.  We named him Carlos because when you looked at his face you could almost hear him say "Whas up homes."  He may or may not have even been a dude, he never let us get that personal.  We wanted to bring him in the house soooooooo bad but he wasn't having it, and it took us nearly two years to even get close enough to pet him.  Now fast forward four years and my wife is waiting on someone at her job who lives in our old neighborhood.  She starts talking about how she misses the outdoor cats and the lady whips out her cell phone to show her pictures of a cat she was able to bring indoors.  And of course its Carlos!!  He finally decided to put the streets behind him and settle down into a life of luxury.  So every time I see these toys it reminds me of him and maybe that's why I like them so much.  

     You lucky folks in the Los Angeles area will get first crack at these guys during the opening of the show on Saturday and Johan himself will be there along with most of the other artists participating.  

Limited edition Bangagon from Guumon x Miles High

    The wife and I went to Wildwood yesterday and the best way I can think to describe it for people that have never been is imagine going to a seaside carnival owned by Wal-Mart.  Not only are there rides and games but you will leave with the most self esteem you've ever had in your life.  Seriously, the people that you will see do not exist anywhere else in real life and look like they could have been extras in the Mos Eisley Cantina scene.  Jerry Springer could set up a casting booth and never worry about running out of guests.   

    Guumon's Bangagon figure could walk around the boardwalk virtually undetected amid the other critters I saw yesterday.  He just made an exclusive version of this dude for Miles High and they are available right this minute at http://shop.miles-high.com/.   

Kibunadon Fish Kaiju by Teresa Chiba x Max Toy Co.

    I think the most horrifying thing in the world would be a giant kaiju fish rising from the depths of the ocean and destroying where I live.  Because even if it doesn't totally wreck your house and kill everyone you know, good luck trying to get rid of that dead fish smell once the National Guard puts it down.  Have you ever seen those exploding whale videos?  You know, where a whale washes up on the beach, and it sits there letting all the bacteria in its gut multiply and fart until the whole thing just explodes and sends rotten old innards everywhere?  Now picture that happening with something 10 stories tall.  There aren't enough power washers and bottles of bleach in all of America to wash that smell away.  

    This guy is kinda cute and probably smells like a rainbow.   He's the newest kaiju figure from Max Toy Co. and Teresa Chiba.  You can pick one up right now at http://www.maxtoyco.com/ and pray that what I described in the first paragraph never happens to you.  The horror!!!!!!!!    

"The Unwound Automaton" Bella Delamere from Doktor A x Arts Unknown x Mintyfresh

    As I am writing this post I am playing fetch with my cat Jorah.  He has this little mouse toy that we call Chew Jackman and he'll drop it then push it towards you when he wants you to throw it.  It's kind of weird for a cat to want to play fetch, but what's weirder is that we never taught him to do this.   He brought it to me when I was trying to sleep one morning and I threw it out of the bedroom hoping he would go behave himself and stop tormenting me (he's famous for practicing Civil War medicine on my wife and I when we are our most vulnerable) and instead he brought it back.  This continued until I wore him out and he decided a nap was in order.  Now I'm having to chuck this thing at an angle so it makes it down the stairs and I have time to type.  

    On a completely different note, here is the latest version of Doktor A's Bella Delamere figure from Arts Unknown.  "The Unwound Automaton" will be going on sale today exclusively from Mintyfresh at 9pm Amsterdam time (which would be 3pm in New York and 12pm in LA in case you were wondering).  Who doesn't love a woman with tentacles?  

Toxic Green "Punk's Not Dead" Skelevex Releases Tomorrow

    I know what you're thinking.  You're wondering "Chris, why did you post so late today?"  The answer is because I had to pretend to be an adult and go buy tires.  Pretty useless right?  I'd rather be buying toys and stuff I really want, but instead I dropped $300 on new tires and an alignment to make my car a little less death-trapy.  Being a responsible grown up is crappy. 

    Some days I just want to get a face tattoo and play my guitar until the neighbors call the cops and then I'll be belligerent and get arrested and use my one phone call to order Chinese food that I won't even eat and they couldn't deliver to me in jail anyway.  Damn the man!!!!!!  Or maybe I could shave my head into a sweet mohawk like the Punk's Not Dead Skelevex have.  I don't think I could get my hair to look as geometric though.  The world is unfair I tell you!  

    These go on sale tomorrow (Friday May 30th) at 11pm BDT only through http://skelevex.bigcartel.com/ and are limited to 9 pieces.  

Unpainted Glow Toxigon Lottery from Mutant Vinyl Hardcore

    How is it everyone that lives in New Jersey doesn't look like this?  This place is littered with toxic waste super fund sites and enough wilderness to hide plenty Hills Have Eyes-looking characters, so maybe we do have our fair share of mutants lurking in the shadows.  If any of those mutants are reading this, please feel free to move to the beaches and live under the boardwalks, where you will be able to eat your fill of seagulls and tourists, both of which are equally as annoying.  Though admittedly, I have never had a tourist poop on my head.  That's not to say they wouldn't though, and I believe in taking a preventative stance.

   You've seen the pictures.  You've been drooling on your internet device for months.  Now you can actually own the latest figure from Mutant Vinyl Hardcore: Toxigon!!!!!!!  And this one is special because not only does he glow in the dark and will light your way to the bathroom when you have to pee late at night, but he's a little different from future releases because the mold was changed after two runs were made.  That will make this guy uber collectable.  The only way you can get one is by winning the chance to purchase it.  There is a lottery open now at http://www.mutantvinylhardcore.com/ that closes just before midnight so you gotta decide quickly on this one.  Go on, you know you want one.  

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Trailer

I'd like to sum up how I feel about this with one picture:

Phase4 MADL Variants from MAD Available This Friday

    You know what drives me crazy?  Well, a lot of things do actually, and seeing as how I have to go to work soon, I don't have enough time to tell you them all.  Plus I don't want my therapist to get jealous.  One of the things that drives me bonkers are variant figures that I can never get.  Usually they're packaged blind box and you have to buy 50 of them to get every version, or they're an exclusive to some convention and 90% of them end up on eBay for more than a car payment.  That's why I have such a great appreciation for MAD and what he is doing here.  Sure he made some variant figures of his popular Phase4 MADLs, but he's not making you go broke or insane to get them.  Instead he packaged em all together and will be offering them for sale on his website this Friday, May 30th.  $100 will get you all three and you'll still have the rest of the day to go fishing, or nap, or whatever.

"My Brother Was a Hero" from Jermaine Rogers x Kidrobot

     I just watched that documentary Terms and Conditions May Apply about our privacy on the internet (spoiler alert: there is none) and how people are using your activity online against you.  Whether it is a potential employer who doesn't share your love for twerking videos, or the police who take your homicidal Twitter rantings very seriously, you are always being watched and what you say can and will be used against you.  That's what makes me a little nervous about this toy.  I've got to do my best to avoid key buzzwords that will put me on some permanent cavity search list every time I even think about traveling.  

     This raccoon has obviously had a bad day and is intent on sharing it with everyone in his immediate vicinity.  Kidrobot and Jermaine Rogers are set to release this critter that's about to go boom tomorrow at Insomnia in Houston, Texas.  Which makes me think the rest of the world will also be able to get their hands on him then.  And there's a brown one too, which is supposedly the regular version and the all black one is the variant.  I'm solving more mysteries than Scooby Doo over here people.  

And oh look, here is the brown one:

Moon Seedlings from Taylored Curiosities x Sergey Safonov

    Look how peaceful these Seedlings are.  One is chilling in a boat, taking in all that nature has to offer, while the other little guy is all like "no, you go ahead, I'm perfectly good right here on the shore, where the risk of drowning is the lowest."  He's a bit of a worrier underneath his calm demeanor.  

Taylored Curiosities teamed up with Sergey Safonov to create this limited set of porcelain Moon Seedlings.  Pretty fancy huh?  Add some much needed serenity to you life by visiting http://tayloredcuriosities.bigcartel.com/.
