The Bad News Dunny from Mishka x Kidrobot is a Thing of Beauty

    I could sum up how I feel about this Mishka x Kidrobot collaborative Dunny collection with one picture that I think you all know and love:

    I don't break out the "cute otter reaching for an ice cream sandwich" photo for just any toy.  No no no.  It is reserved for those special toys that make my soul ache with a longing I can barely describe.  And let me tell you, I'm jaded as hell about what I like.  I've seen it all and I'm not easily impressed, but I am loving these to no end.  Maybe it's because I spend my working life making eyeglasses and therefore feel a special connection to that organ.  Maybe it's cause I want a fuzzy bear suit.  Or maybe I just know greatness when I see it.  Now, let's get down to the particulars before you think I've gone soft on ya.  As you can see, there will be 8 inch and 3 inch versions of both color ways.  The 8 inch polar bear is a Kidrobot exclusive and only available through their website and their Las Vegas and San Francisco stores.  The 8 inch kodiak version is an exclusive to Mishka and Dunny retailers world wide. I'm guessing the 3 inch ones will be available all over because they weren't too specific about them.  They will be released on October 24th, so you have a bit of time to save some cash beforehand.  

   If you're lucky enough to be attending New York Comic Con, Mishka will also be offering limited preorders of the 8 inch kodiak and the two 3 inch Dunnys.  Hit up their booth # 110 for more info.

NYCC Exclusive Blind Bagged Resin Micro MadL's from Mad

    I am loving these Micro MadL's.  The mix of colors reminds me of when Sharon and I visited the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington back in June.  She developed a healthy amount of knowledge on gems and minerals due to her employment at the time and we spent hours trying to photograph everything on display.  These look like they were carved from pieces of the exhibit.  Of course, they are only resin, but the effect's Mad was able to achieve, coupled with the flat nature of the figure, make for a truly unique piece of plastic art.  The only way to get one of these is to track down Mad during New York Comic Con this weekend and hand him $20.  Which one you get will be a surprise, but I don't see how owning any one of them could be disappointing.  Might not be a bad idea to try and hunt him down as soon as you can, as there's no word on just how many he'll have with him.  

NYCC Exclusive Shub Zeroth "Evangelioth" from Metacrypt x Lulubell Toys

     Oh, dear God what have our horrid thoughts brought forth?  What have our wicked ways forced from beneath the Earth's crust, bringing with it our end?  And where, oh where I say, have I left my pants?  Seriously, I need to go buy cat food and nobody is trying to see my milky thighs.  

     Shub Zeroth! Shub Zeroth!  That's my impression of wicked villagers chanting the name of this unholy beast.  Villagers, that if the law were fair, we would have burned as witches and avoided this whole "giant blood thirsty goat demon problem" we now have.  Just kidding, I love Shub Zeroth and Metacrypt will be releasing this newest version at New York Comic Con through Lulubell Toy's booth # 408.  Christmas is coming, and your favorite toy blogger (me, obviously) accepts his gifts year round.  I'll give you one of my new stickers.  Fine, you can have two. 

NYCC Exclusive Pop! Vinyl from Funko x Fugitive Toys

    I have a bit of a problem in the fact that even when I narrow my collecting scope, I still want everything that's ever made that I can get my hands on that falls within my restrictions.  In the world of Pop! Vinyl I like a lot of them, but my main focus is Batman.  Seems reasonable right?  Until you learn that there are like 1,000 different iterations of Batman.  And who has to have every single one of them? This guy.  Thus far I have 11 of them, which isn't bad being that some of them are pretty hard to find exclusives.  But it is kinda fun tracking them all down, and I almost enjoy that part of it more than even owning the figures.  

    I have a lot of other Pop! Vinyls from Funko, including a few from the Thor movies, which makes these two versions of Frost Giant Loki pretty tempting.  Both of them as well as the Wonder Woman figures are Fugitive Toys exclusives for this weekend's New York Comic Con.  If you want any of them I would make a bee line to booth # 410 cause there's always a lot of interest in any Funko exclusives.  

NYCC Exclusive "Inner Beast" from Scott Wilkowski x Monster Worship x Lulubell Toys

   I can feel my wallet getting thinner every time I do a post about New York Comic Con.  The fact that I just bought a car, or just paid my mortgage is weighing heavily on my brain, so much so that I think my eyes might be bulging out a little.  But there's so much goodness to be had, that I can then bring home and take pictures of and put in my display cases and drool on every once in a while.   Why must I be tormented so?  Why couldn't I just start a website about professional wrestling, or flea markets or abandoned places in New Jersey or anything else that doesn't make me want everything I see?

   Look at how amazing Monster Worship's Alter Beast figure looks with one of Scott Wilkowski's sweet skeletal forms stuffed inside?  It's a thing of beauty and will be on sale from the folks at Lulubell Toys at booth #408 on a first come, first served basis.  

NYCC Exclusives from Rampage Toys

    The last time I was promised "oodles of fun" I ended up in the emergency room as they scraped broken glass out of my foot.  I was five years old and the shards had formerly been a limited edition Muppets cup glass with Kool-Aid.  And it was the Animal one, which was my favorite.  So excuse me if I'm skeptical, but that was a traumatizing event for wee little Chris.  A few years have passed and I'm working on building my trust again with "oodles of fun" when I see this flier from Rampage Toys.  Just look at all the neat stuff he's bringing to New York Comic Con.  I pretty much like all of these toys, so everything is good there.  And he's painted them up all nice and pretty, which can't be a bad thing at all.      On top of that he'll also have a ton of his own stuff, which is good.  I'm beginning to think this whole "oodles of fun" thing could work out.  BUT GOD HELP NEW YORK IF IT DOESN'T CAUSE I'M GONNA BE PISSED.    Visit Rampage at booth # 208, part of the Tenacious Toys collective and for a full list of all the stuff he'll have available check out http://rampage-toys.blogspot.com/.  

NYCC Exclusive Bone Usir DX from Splurrt x Mutant Vinyl Hardcore

    If I owned this toy I would sleep with it every night.  I don't mean in the sicko way ya perv (maybe though) but in the innocent way a child cuddles his favorite toy.  It's not only cause I would love it so much, but it's to keep other people from trying to touch it.  My life is like those commercials for the Dodge Dart, where the neighbor is always trying to come over and touch the other dude's car but he's all like "no bro, keep your filthy mits to yourself."  Why is everyone's first inclination when they see something they like to pick it up?   I'd probably be bad at owning a store, cause I'd put everything under glass.  You want to touch something?  You can touch it all you want after you pay for it and take it home.  Until then it belongs to me.

    The chances of me scoring one of these sick Bone Usirs from Splurrt and Mutant Vinyl Hardcore is pretty slim.  For one, they only made 7 of them, and for two, I'm not the best at parting with my money.  It takes me some convincing (mostly in my own head) that my house won't get foreclosed on if I splurge a little, and by then they will all be sold.  So what I'm gonna do is start convincing myself now in the days leading up to New York Comic Con and by the time they go on sale this Friday at 2pm at the Monster Island booth, I should be ready to pull the financial trigger.  Plus it helps when you're in a crowd of people and you wanna join in on all the excitement.  I imagine that's how most people die from drinking too much, actually.  Peer pressure will help me bring this sucker home!

Plaseebo Is Sending Some Craziness to NYCC

    Look at this group of characters.  These guys are the stuff of nightmares.  They look like the computer generated critters on that show Monsters Inside Me, where they tell stories about people that have been infected with parasites.  Sometimes they'll have actual footage of a doctor's scope traveling through someone's body and they'll come around a bend and BAM there's some worm eating all the soft tissue it can get it's little mouth on.  I half expect them to come across something Plaseebo makes and upon seeing the camera it smiles and flips you the bird.  

   His delightfully mutated creations will be available at two different booths during New York Comic Con.  The dude on the far right a collaboration with Rampage Toys and Skull Head Butt) will be available from Rampage Toys at booth # 208, while everything else will be making available through the Kaiju Monster booth # 406.  

Monsterpants Is Celebrating Halloween with a New Sea-Borg Invader Figure

    Autumn is by far my favorite season of the year and Halloween is my favorite holiday.  We don't really do much decorating, or even participate in it, because our house looks like a childhood nightmare as it is.  Other than toys, we are constantly on the hunt for antique medical items, Virgin Mary statues, and the occasional dead critter.  If our home was abandoned for a good 50 years you'd have an awesome horror film set without having to do much work.  

    This Sea-Borg Invader from Monsterpants would fit right in to our ever growing collection.  And his nice orange and black paint color scheme is also in line with our beloved Philadelphia Flyers, who hopefully will win the Stanley Cup again before I die.  This figure will be available until October 28th and is only $25.  Get one now at http://channelmidnight.com/.    

NYCC Exclusives from Tenacious Toys

    After waiting an entire year the time has finally come for New York Comic Con.  Some times, finding out about exclusives can be a difficult task.  You may get a teaser image, or you may notice a posting about em on Twitter as you're on the train in route to the convention and it turns out it's something you really want but you weren't able to budget accordingly or plan your booth visits right so you just get frustrated and you kick the seat in front of you and it turns out the guy in that seat was just paroled and the spider web tattoo on his face makes you think he may not be understanding of your situation and you end up spending the whole convention getting reconstructive dental work.  

   Tenacious Toys wants to see your smiling face with all of it's teeth at their giant collective booth, so they've made these handy little pictures with everything you need to know about their exclusives.  You have pricing info and the amount of them that were made right there so you can plan accordingly and not miss out on something you really want.  Take a peak below of everything they've announced so far:

Paul Kaiju's King Jinx Gets the Skinner Treatment and He Likes It!

    When the crab people finally rise from the depths and enslave human kind I hope they don't come ashore in Atlantic City.  Casinos keep closing and most of the neighborhoods aren't that friendly, and crab people are gonna just look like target practice.  The one's that survive will probably be forced into a life of prostitution for some pimp named Boo Bear with a short fuse and a strong smackin hand.  It's a cold city, crab people, so just stay underwater and head further south to Florida, where the people are retired and will just be happy to have something new to talk about with their grandkids.  

    Skinner has got those mad skills when it comes to painting toys.  I look at em, and I try to decide how he does it, but I don't know.  I'm just a simple man, typing simple words, I'm no toy coloring wizard.  Just gaze upon the magnificence that he has bestowed upon Paul Kaiju's King Jinx.  I hope you had your inhaler nearby, cause I know that sucker just took your breath away.  Or maybe it took your breath away when you first saw the picture and you were never even able to read what I wrote cause you are now dead on the floor with your hands around your neck and a panicky smile on your face.  If that's the case then you're gonna miss out when these go on sale today at noon Pacific time today over at http://shopcriticalhit.com/.  For those of you still with us, there are only gonna be 5 available, so your odds of getting just increased and I'll be expecting thank you notes for killing your competition.  

    

Carded DC Labbits from Kidrobot Are Here

    I first showed you pictures of these that I took at Toy Fair last february.  Since then there hasn't been anything else said about them, other than some websites offering them for preorder.  Then magically they were unleashed upon an unsuspecting world yesterday in what could best be described as a pseudo-surprise release.  Things have been weird with Kidrobot lately, and I know people have been panicked after their huge sales they've been running online and the fact that there hasn't been nearly the level of communication through social media that fans have come to expect over the years.  But I take this as a step in the right direction, even if the only way we found out about them was from stores posting on Instagram that they had them in stock.  At least there's new product out, and it's stuff I've been excited for since I heard about them.  These 6 carded Labbits retail for $10 each and I'm gonna especially need that Batman one.  

    I'm not one of those internet trolls that complains about Kidrobot for everything that they do.  I love them and a huge portion of my collection in made up of their releases.  Hopefully everything is going well there and they will continue to drain my bank account for many years to come.  

I stole this picture from myplasticheart's Instagram account.  I regret nothing.  

NYCC Exclusive Eti the Space Nurse from Peter Kato x Cubo NY

    Why is it that whenever you hear people talk about being abducted by aliens all they can focus on is the fact they got probed.  It doesn't seem to be that big of a deal that a species from somewhere in the galaxy travelled all the way to Earth, thought they'd be cool to snatch, and then kidnaps them for an undisclosed period of time.  It's the fact that they were violated in the name of alien science.  It seems weird to me, that if a race of beings is so far advanced that they can create these super fast space ships to visit strange planets that the only thing they'd be concerned with is the inner workings of our butts.  What I think happens in a lot of these abductions is that the people were probably really drunk and hanging around these back country roads (where all of these abductions take place) and some hillbilly picked them up and played doctor with them in his conversion van.  The SyFy channel should be calling me any minute.

    This is how I prefer to think of aliens, as these super chill critters who are just looking to help.  Peter Kato has gone so far as to suggest that many are employed in the health care field and traveling all over the galaxy curing rare diseases.  Take Eti here, a nurse with a heart of gold that makes house calls you may not even know you need.  This figure is a collaboration between Peter and Cubo NY, who is a toyshop/3d printing service.  She's limited to only 20 pieces, will sell for $60 each, and is a New York Comic Con exclusive for Cubo NY's booth # 501.  And she comes with that cool syringe stand that they should sell in life-size versions so I can get one for my living room.  

NYCC Exclusive Greads from Evil Dave x Dead Hand Toys

                        

    We're officially one week away from the opening of New York Comic Con, so I'm gonna try and step up my game and show you all my favorite stuff that will be available there.   Be prepared to have your minds blow, your souls ache, and your wallet scream for mercy (in no particular order).

    You see these custom Greads from Evil Dave and Dead Hand Toys?  These are what you would call a bargain, cause not only are they 100% hand made, they're also 100% affordable.  Hot dogs at the Javitts Center cost more than these and only one of them will give you a tapeworm.  Ten full size Greads were made and cost only $28, while 30 micro Greads were produced and they will run ya a mere $12 each.  Twelve dollars for a hand made art toy?  These will be available at Suburban Vinyl's booth #208, which is part of the massive Tenacious Toys collective.  You can't miss it, the thing is like the size of a city block, but with minimal chance of being run over by an aggressive cab driver.  

    

NYCC Exclusives from Funko x Toy Tokyo

    New York Comic Con happens is just 8 days away and to prepare myself I took all of next week off from work.  You gotta be on your game when you go to this thing.  You have to be mentally sharp so you can seek out all the best deals before anyone else.  You have to be physically strong to push your way through walls of people that jam every aisle.  And you have to build your immune system to levels that would melt down a nuclear reactor, because someone there is going to sneeze on you.  It's inevitable.   

    One of my first stops every year is to visit the folks at Toy Tokyo.  You can't even call their setup a booth because they create a miniature version of their store in the showroom.  And by miniature I mean kinda huge and bigger than what you would expect.  They always have a ton of older items that I missed out on the first time around, but being a convention you know it's all about the exclusives, and they have some pretty great ones courtesy of Funko.  Here's a rundown of what I know about so far.

    Freddy and Jason 8-bit ReAction figures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Do I need to say anymore to entice you to want these?  They sell themselves, really.  For those of you that don't know, they are sporting those wacky colors because that's how they looked in their hideously awful Nintendo games way back in the day.  It's kind of a weird nostalgia trip to think "hey these look just like those games I was really pissed about wasting my money on when I was a kid, I MUST HAVE THEM".  You know you need them.

    Do these look unfamiliar to you?  That's because these Omamori Pop! Vinyl figures are usually  available to customers in Asia exclusively.   But Toy Tokyo will be the only store in North America to have these in this black and gold color scheme.  You're not gonna find these sitting on a shelf at Wal-Mart, so make sure you you get there early, cause people are gonna go nuts when they see them.         

    Looks like someone parked under a tree filled with ghost birds.  Do ghost birds still bombard your car with poop?  Someone should suggest the Ghost Hunter guys to go and investigate that, cause if I'm driving around in my sweet Hyundai and it's covered in ghost poop I'm gonna be pretty mad.  I'm sure that if I was driving Ecto-1 around I wouldn't have a problem getting a free car wash though.  

    What, there's still more?  Take a deep breath cowboy, cause the exclusives keep coming in just about every style of figure Funko makes.  Some of the Hikari soft vinyl figures they create benefit from this style of manufacturing more than others.  Astro Boy definitely looks awesome in both of these incarnations.  From what I hear these guys are uber limited and they would fit nicely in with your vintage Japanese toys.  Don't have any vintage Japanese toys?  Now you'll have a good excuse to go and buy some.  

     

    The Creature from the Black Lagoon used to be the most menacing thing anyone had ever seen in the water.  Then some shark from New England shows up and people forget all the pioneering work he did in snatching bikini clad ladies.  Well not today, for today we will mark his achievements in underwater terror with this figure.  Put it in a place of pride in your home, maybe next to your high school diploma, or meemaw's ashes.  

    Get these and more by visiting booth number 101.  

NYCC Exclusive Plushy from Furry Feline Creatives x Suburban Vinyl

    I think my entire house is filled with the ebola virus.  Sharon and I haven't been feeling well, one of the cats hasn't been feeling well.  Yesterday we left the house on our one day off together, which quickly ended with a visit to a sketchy McDonald's bathroom (Where a dude looked a little too long to see if anyone was occupying the stall.  All you have to know is whether someone's using it, you won't have to describe them to a police sketch artist, you creeper.) and we spent the rest of the day watching serial killer documentaries on MSNBC.  

    I think I wasn't feeling well cause I've been stressed out about Icarus not feeling his best.  Cats will drive you nuts cause unlike kids they don't whine when they don't feel good.  They're like the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  You'll be all "hey kitty, what happened to your back legs that I know you had this morning and suddenly seem to be missing?"  and they'll be all "puuuurrrrrr could I get some belly scratches purrrrrrrrrr."  They're tough little buggers.  So you never really know whether they just have to fart or if something catastrophic is happening.

    On a different note, my wife is always trying to convince me that the cats would love nothing more than to wear costumes.  I told her that I don't think our health insurance is good enough to cover the mauling she would get if she tried to dress them us as ballerinas.  Sure, this cat looks all content wearing his Kaiju costume, but that's because he's not real and has no feelings of murder in his heart.  Furry Feline Creatives have made 12 of these plushy monster cats as New York Comic Con exclusives for Suburban Vinyl.  You can get one at booth #208 and let this satisfy any need you may feel to dress your cat for tea parties.  You'll thank me when you're not get stitched back together.  

Cowgirl Bounty Hunter Prudence Pascha from 3A Available Tomorrow

    Well hellooooooooooo cowgirl!  Don't let the cowboy hat and daisy dukes fool ya, this girl is as lethal as they come.  And if you've got a price on your head, you can expect to see that massive gun shoved in your face right before she collects the reward.  Hey, it beats getting picked up by that weirdo Dog the Bounty Hunter, with his over worked mullet and hillbilly family in tow.  At least if Prudence gets to you first you have something to look at on the way to the sheriff's office.  

    3A will be releasing this prairie princess tomorrow at 9am Hong Kong time on http://www.bambalandstore.com/.  

Joe Ledbetter Unleashes Fire-Catzilla Tomorrow!

    Godzilla has been doing it wrong all these years.  If you wanna maximize the damage you can inflict on an unsuspecting city, you gotta trick them into thinking you're harmless.  A lot of people are scared to death of little lizards, so when you show up and all gigantic and terrifying its no wonder the army gets called in to try and obliterate you.  Now if Godzilla could get a hold of some fuzzy bunny ears, or a cat mask, and trick people into thinking he's a big ball of adorable, then he could practically level the place before anyone realizes they've been had.  

    And now here is my theory in practice, courtesy of Joe Ledbetter.  Sure Fire-Catzilla looks all scary now with his sharp little teeth and blazing inferno shooting from his mouth, but before he revealed his intentions I bet everyone in Tokyo was just trying to pet him.  People were probably lining the streets, uploading pictures to Instagram with clever little hash tags.  And then he unleashed the fury and maximized his destruction potential, before curling up on a pile a corpses for a much needed nap.  

    Of course you want one of these for yourself, and now is the part of the story where I tell you how to get one.  Only 300 of this reptilian feline exist in the world, they cost $110, and they go on sale tomorrow at 8am Pacific time at http://store.joeledbetter.com/.  

The Greatest Custom Dunny I Have Ever Seen Courtesy of Jon-Paul Kaiser

    I don't feature a lot of custom toys on this site and it's not because I don't like them.  I have a limited amount of time to work on this thing each day and there's just way too much out there for me to keep track of.  But there was no way I was gonna let this one pass by without me worshipping at it's little plastic feet.  This Moby Dick inspired Dunny is the creation of Jon-Paul Kaiser and is, and I'm not exaggerating this, the best one I've ever seen.  If I worked at Kidrobot I would be scrambling to make this a production figure so I can buy it.  And I can't be the only one who would throw down some cash for the chance at owning this stunning figure.  Make it so!!!!!!!

Lemon Pie Guy and Foster from Super7

    Fact:  the best flavor in the world is lemon, followed closely by orange and red meat.  It's on the internet, so it must be true, am I right?  Like that girl that supposedly got a third boob implanted on her chest to look like that chick from Total Recall.  Oh wait, that was proven fake yesterday?  Darn, who would have thought (other than anyone with two brain cells left to rub together).  So maybe now all the major news outlets will pick up my fact about flavors and it will headline the evening news.  Just know you heard it hear first, kids. 

    I sense another theme in today's post, and that's toys that look tasty.  Super7 is releasing these Lemon Pie Guy and Foster tomorrow at the low low price of $25 each.  Just don't try to lick em, as they are not  responsible for your subsequent gastrointestinal problems.

NYCC Exclusive Sleeptime Bunnies from Peter Kato x myplasticheart

    OH MY GOD I AM OVERWHELMED WITH THE ADORABLENESS OF THESE!!!!  Ok, I'm trying to compose myself, but it's not gonna be easy.  I want to put all of theses bunnies in my mouth and carry them with me wherever I go.  I kinda wanna eat em too though, as they look like those Halloween candies I used to eat when I was a kid.

    Why, these very ones in fact.  Behold, the magic of the internet!  Though I have to admit I was a little biased and only ate the yellow and orange ones.  Back then the flavors I rejected just ended up in the trash, but now when I buy a bag of assorted candy I take the crappy ones to work and put them in the communal candy jar.  Not only am I not being wasteful, but I am also tricking my coworkers into thinking I'm a nice person and not someone who would push them into traffic with very little provocation.  Plus, it's easier to shove someone into the path of oncoming cars if they aren't expecting it.  It's survival of the fittest, punks!

    But really, these bunnies are about the cutest things you'll ever see in your life.  Peter Kato is introducing this newest line of critters in a special Sweet Harvest Edition as an exclusive for myplasticheart at New York Comic Con.  They are limited to only 30 pieces, sold blind, at at only $12 each will probably not last very long.  Get to booth # 113 early to get one.

NYCC Exclusive Muckey Haunted Castle from Instinctoy x myplasticheart

    Not long ago I dug through some old boxes in search of the one toy I've literally had for my entire life.  Though unrecognizable now, he was at one time a Winnie the Pooh and he's had a rough go of it. He's missing nearly all of his trademark yellow fur, most of his stuffing has fallen out through various holes that were repaired with Frankenstein-like stitchery.  One of his eyes is gone, his nose is in disrepair, and he generally looks like an extra from The Walking Dead.  And I love him.  

    The one thing he doesn't have though, is a row of razor sharp teeth carefully hidden away.  Not that he would have anywhere to hide them, as his fabric is mostly transparent.  Muckey has a sinister secret beneath that cute bear face, one that would like nothing more than to separate your skin from bone.  

    Instinctoy and myplasticheart have teamed up to release a limited number of these Haunted Castle editions at New York Comic Con in a few weeks.  He's the ultimate year round Halloween decoration and can be yours for $140 at booth # 113.  

   

Pneuma Custom Skelevex Series from The Graphix Chick

    I'm getting ready to go ahead and invent something right now that I'm gonna need you to not steal or that if you do steal it you give me a lot of money in return.  Replacement skulls.  Now hear me out.  The skull we're born with is pretty awesome, until the moment we decide to test its durability doing something stupid.  You back up your files on your computer, so why not back up the thing that protects your brain?  We could give you a CT scan, 3D print an exact replica of the thing, you could use it as decoration until the time comes that you need it, and voila, instant cranial replacement.  Ok, I'm not stupid and do realize you can't just go around swapping your skull out for some plastic replacement, but  the idea is still a cool one, and is reasonably sound for some alternate science fiction universe that we don't happen to live in.  I'm trying to make our lives more interesting, people!!!!

    So while decorating your house with skulls serves no practical purpose in the event that you crack your melon, they still look nice.  May I suggest adding to your collection these custom Skelevex resin skulls from The Graphix Chick?  Each one is unique and will be available this Sunday through her website at http://www.thegraphixchick.com/.  Now you just have to decide which one you like best, which if I was good at deciding that I wouldn't have a house full of toys that I bought because I couldn't just pick one thing.  

Preorders Are Coming...for This Amazing Ned Stark Figure from threezero

    One day, if you had a lot of time on your hands and threezero keep making these mind blowing Game of Thrones figures, you could reenact the entire series using stop motion animation.  And I'm betting someone will do it, because if the internet has taught us anything, its that people have way too much time available to them.  Have you noticed that everyone always complains about how busy they are, yet they manage to upload every adorable things their cats do?  I think the internet utilizes witchcraft to insert extra time into your day as long as you are using that time to feed it.  Now if Neil DeGrasse Tyson could go ahead and prove that and give me all the credit for unlocking the secret, we could go about our lives with the understanding that we can all be immortal as long as we are commenting on Facebook posts or reTweeting statuses.  

    Back to business.  How awesome is this figure?  You know that when I make a post about threezero that it's going to involve the most detailed toy you've ever seen in your life.  I should get them to make a lifesize one of me that I could send to work in my place.  The lord of Winterfell stands over a foot tall and comes with a bunch of cool accessories (and his head still attached to his body) and will be available for preorder beginning September 22nd at 9am Hong Kong time.  He'll be $160, which includes shipping anywhere in the world, and will only be available from http://www.threezerostore.com/

Ultimate Color Version Rotten Rexx Preorder from James Groman x Lulubell Toy Bodega

    The way our world is today you have to be prepared for anything.  For instance, what would you do if you're sitting peacefully on your couch, trying to watch Naked and Afraid, and a group of murderous clowns kick in your front door?  I know what I would do, because my entire house is filled with objects that while not only decorative, could also crack a grown man's skull.  In the bedroom my wife has a concrete Virgin Mary statue that will have you seeing Holy Ghosts as she smacks you upside your head with it, and our living room is littered with curiosities that could easily fit into a plastic bag labeled as "Exhibit Number One".  Form + function = a nightmare for any punk that comes and tries to take your stuff.  

    James Groman's Rotten Rexx would make a suitable anti-burglar weapon/object of wonder for any household.  This beast stands 15 inches tall and is one of the most massive hunks of plastic I've ever seen.  You grab this sucker with two hands, start swinging, and you're spreading the pain like mono at summer camp.  Heck, they might just take one look at him, decide that you have to be a looney tune for owning it, and take off running.  This dude is completely sick looking all painted up like this.  You could probably stare at it for a month straight and not catch every detail.  And I know what you're thinking.  You're thinking "Alright Chris, I love this undead prehistoric bro, but I can't possibly afford anything so amazing on my budget."  But you can sucka, because this hand painted monstrosity is only $200.  $200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    There are crappy mass produced toys that cost way more than that and I dare say you couldn't even scratch a would-be attacker with them.

New Kitsura Preorder from Candie Bolton x Max Toy Co.

    People think that just because my house has cats coming out of the woodwork that I don't like dogs, but nothing can be further from the truth.  I love dogs, I just don't have one because I don't have a backyard.  Growing up in Virginia we had a few dogs and I don't think we ever even owned a leash, because when they had to go outside you just opened the door and let em have a good time.  Even if your yard wasn't fenced in it was generally understood that they would run around, terrorize the surrounding area, and then come back when they were tired.  Where I live now I would have to walk the dog and pick up its business with a plastic bag wrapped around my hand, which seems demeaning. Yeah, I do scoop a handful of litter boxes every night, but I don't have to walk around outside with a bag of poop as my neighbors try to make small talk with me.   Think about it, what if you didn't have the dog and were just taking a stroll with a turd in your old Wal-Mart bag.  You'd have the police called on you and would have to convince a doctor within 72 hours that you weren't having a mental break.  That's why you need a yard, so they can do their business and you can keep your dignity.  And they even have services you can pay to come out and clean your yard up for you after it has become riddled with organic land mines.  Genius.

    So Kitsura is not your average dog as he is actually a fox, but my stance is the same regarding any wild animals you may allow to share your domicile.  This canine with his enlightening third eye was created by Candie Bolton and produced by Max Toy Company and is available for preorder right now.  For $30 you can guarantee yourself one of these little dudes that may or may not bring magic and good fortune into your home.  And you definitely won't have to walk him, cause he's plastic, so that's a plus!
