Permanent Guest from Coarse to Release June 18th



    There are times in life where jokes will not do.  Where you have to sit back, realize the story you are about to retell is already brilliant the way it is, and let it speak for itself.  Such is the tale behind this raccoon towing a fish in a bathtub.  Their story reads like one of Aesop's Fables as written by the Brothers Grimm.  I've always known Coarse created some of the most impressive pieces in vinyl that I had ever seen, but I was woefully ignorant to how much thought went into each one.  So I will humbly pause, direct you to click this link, and read the tale of these two unlikely companions for yourself.  Go ahead, I'll wait.

 

    Pretty neat, huh?  These two traveling companions will come in two equally different versions.  The black and gold "Endless Shadows" edition, and the more subdued "Promised Bliss"colorway.  Both will be available on June 18th (that's this Thursday) only through http://coarsehkg.com/.  Each set is limited to only 345 pieces and I would imagine those won't last very long.

Kyle Kirwan's Mudcat Willo for Tenacious Toys' Super Series Sunday





    Kyle Kirwan is taking resin casting where resin casting hasn't gone before.  He bought himself an RV and is gonna travel from Brooklyn to Designer Con, dropping new releases along the way like some kind of toy making Ken Kesey (though I haven't gotten word whether he's painted his magic toy bus like a crazy person or filled it with naked and stoned hippies).

   His first release will be this glow in the dark blue Mudcat Willo for Super Series Sunday from Tenacious Toys.  Hey, isn't there someone else know for making blue stuff in an RV?  Maybe I'm just imagining it.  Only 6 of these 11 inch tall figures will be available starting at 8pm eastern time tonight.  Pick one up for $100 only from www.tenacioustoys.com.

"Blue Glow" Lolgolth Gnazgoroth Preorder from Skinner x Unbox Industries





    And you though those nasty bros from beyond the wall in Game of Thrones were brutal, what with their icy stare and army of the dead.  You think Jon Snow's not gonna send them back to whatever black hole you crawled out of?  Cause that's gonna happen.  See, raising people up from the ground that you just put there is all well and good, but the impressiveness of that is gonna wear thin once you start getting carved up with Valerian steel.  You gotta have a wow factor, like when the Wildlings got those Giants to hang out with them.  Well feast your eyes on this bad boy my White Walker friends, and have those pesky folks in Westoros cowering in their boots and unable to fight back.

    Lolgolth Gnazgoroth from Skinner and Unbox Industries has no problem inspiring fear in any one he, or it, comes across.  Now you can have one in your house that will glow in the darkest of nights, scaring the hell out of you even when you try to sleep.  Or lighting the way as you get older and can't quite hold your pee pee until morning.  I don't want to talk about it.

    This sucker is going on preorder today for $145, which is a paltry sum for the crazy detail that goes into one of these.  Seriously, I've seen one in person and was struck dumb by how intense manufacturing this behemoth must be.  Get yourself one and be amazed by its brilliance every day of your life by clicking here.


How my butt feels after eating at Golden Corral.

Check Out The First Ever Solo Show from The Bots at Dream In Plastic



    I can imagine its hard for adorable things to be taken seriously when they're mad.  Being adorable means that you're adorable no matter what you do, so raising a stink about something becomes a pointless endeavor.  Not that I've ever had this problem, but I try to imagine if Hello Kitty was pissed off at me whether I'd be able to have a discussion with her about it or if I would just think it was cute.  Or if I would be self aware enough to realize having a conversation with a fictional character probably meant I needed to get my meds adjusted.  Who can say.

    The Bots are known for making cute little critters that seem to be in a bad mood and you can see a boat load of them when their first ever solo show opens at Dream In Plastic tomorrow.  Speaking of dreams, I had one last night that I was gonna be on the show Sons of Anarchy, but before we started filming we had to go through a boot camp to get ourselves prepared.  I didn't do as well as I would have hoped because I didn't realize their would be so many pull ups involved.  I woke up before I could face the humiliation of being cut. 

    If you're in the Beacon, New York area go and check out the opening reception of the show from 6-9pm and buy some toys. 






Red and Grey Vinyl Elder Demons from Deathcattoys



    You know what are the scariest type of demons?  Elder ones, cause they've had many years to hone their terrible ways.  Think about it, you get stuck waiting around for hours somewhere, bored out of your mind, and you know you come up with some crazy things to pass the time.  Now what if you're entire job was to be evil?  You'd be much better at it than some fresh, virginal demon that just graduated from whatever passes for college for them.  And elder demons have the best stories, though they will remind you at every turn about how much harder they had it than you at your age.

    Deathcattoys will be releasing these red an grey vinyl Elder Demons tonight at 10pm eastern time at http://deathcattoys.bigcartel.com/.  Only 20 sets will be available and they will be $35 plus shipping.

"The First Hellboy" Statues from Mondo




        You know what I find fascinating?  Besides the fact that anyone can not want to punch Bono in the face.  Seriously, the guy is practically begging for it.  But besides that,I find it fascinating how popular things start out.  For instance, have you ever seen the original concepts for Star Wars?  The characters started out looking way different than the ones we all know and love.  Chewbacca looked like an overly hairy cookie elf and C3PO could have stared in a remake of Metropolis.  My head hurts just thinking about it.

    Imagine how blown my mind was when I saw these new statues from Mondo.  I never realized that this is what Hellboy looked like before he evolved into the cat loving demon we all know.  He's available in two versions, with the black and white one an exclusive to the Mondo website.  Both 12 inch statues are available for preorder right now by clicking here.

A Clockwork Carrot "Break In" Edition from Frank Kozik x Blackbook Toy




    When you're entering a life of crime you really have to put a lot of thought into a good disguise.  How many times do you see security footage on the news of people robbing banks that look like they were just hanging out at the mall?  They walk in wearing sunglasses and with their hoods up and they think they've got some invisibility cloak.  I get that you kind of stick out if you're wearing a Halloween mask in April, but a little bit of effort will go a long way towards not making you some big dude's girlfriend on cell block B.

    Lil Alex knows the benefit of not only shielding your identity but making a statement while doing it.  Tim Gunn would be proud at his ability to edit down his mask to the basics while maintaining a clear and concise fashion point of view.  The latest version of Kozik's naughty little bunny is available for preorder right now from the folks at Blackbook Toy.  And when you order from them you get a special limited edition button to snaz up that jean jacket of yours.

Chip S005 (Organizized) from Ferg




    The world can be a frustrating place.  Politicians make horrible decisions based on greed that negatively impact the lives of their constituents.  Everyone seems to be out for themselves regardless of the consequences it has for their fellow man.  Animals are being driven to extinction by corporate profit margins and the need for certain humans to flex their superiority.  Just thinking about it can drive a person to the brink, if not beyond the brink, of madness.  Some of us take to the Internet to rant and rave about it on anonymous websites with the like-minded faceless masses.  Others take matters into their own hands.

    Chip is disillusioned, armed to the teeth, and looking to change the world.  Support his one man social revolution this Monday, June 15th at noon central time when he goes on sale exclusively through http://store.projectsquadt.com.

Kidrobot Introduces the Plush "Phunny" featuring Characters from Gremlins




    Fun fact:  my wife has never seen Gremlins.  I don't hold it against her though, because I work with  multiple people that have never seen Star Wars, which I find to be highly unusual.  I'm pretty sure the United States government keeps records on people that haven't seen Star Wars and closely monitors their behavior for further anomalies, and upon finding them will sneak in and said people will disappear under cover of darkness.  Save yourselves and watch the films.

    It doesn't matter if you've seen Gremlins or not to know that Gizmo and pals are quite adorable, even after some of them turn into naughty little reptile thingys.  Kidrobot has captured that in a new plush series they're calling Phunny, which are 8 inches tall and ridiculously affordable at only $16.99 each. Collect them all when they're released in August.

     Oh, and it's worth noting that this is the first time Kidrobot has utilized the many licenses that their parent company N.E.C.A is known for.  I wonder what could be next?

"Chewquila" from Forces of Dorkness for Tenacious Toys' Super Series Sunday



    I know I've already told the story of how mad I got while trying to get a new tire yesterday, but I was sooooooooo ma that it bears repeating for a second day in a row.  I won't retell the whole thing, but do you remember in Star Wars when Chewbacca was about to lose that weird game of chess and Han Solo was all like "bro, you should let the Wookie win, cause he'll rip your arm off and cave your skull in with it" (I'm paraphrasing)?  Well I was Wookie level angry yesterday.  I mean, where else can you set up an appointment to have something as simple as a tire replacement done and they tell you it might be done by tomorrow morning?  Could you imagine showing up to your barber and him telling you that he got really backed up and he may get to you by morning? Or booking a reservation at a restaurant for dinner and not being seated until breakfast.  It's ludicrous, and it's even more so when they don't understand why you feel that way.  I can hear George Castanza yelling about this in my head.  

    Ok, I think Forces of Dorkness has officially made it impossible for anyone to create a better custom Star Wars toy.  He took a Muttpop Tequila figure, fuzzied him all up, and made the mother of all Chewbacca figures.  Eight of these will be made available this Sunday (June 7th) at 8pm as part of Super Series Sunday from Tenacious Toys.  You will have a two week window to preorder one of them after which time they will be made and mailed off to live with their lucky new owners.  Little pink hair brush not included.

Help Kickstart the Norfolk Merdogs Merpug Plush from Shlii




    Let me tell you about my day:  I needed to get a tire replaced, which is no big cause I got a warranty on those suckers when I bought my car, so I made an appointment two days ago to have the dealership replace it.  I show up for my 12:30 appointment and they ask if I can leave it.  It's just a tire, I thought, so I told the counter person I would wait.  He then tells me it would be better to leave it cause they're busy and it probably won't get finished until tomorrow.  For a tire?  With an appointment?  So I called shenanigans on that BS and left to find someone to just patch the damn thing.  At which point I was informed that it was too close to the sidewall so it needed to be replaced but alas, they don't have one in stock and can't get it before...you guessed it...tomorrow.  Yet again I am forced to call shenanigans all over the BS that is being presented me, and I move on to a third location.  Just like when Goldilocks broke into the three bear's house, the third time was the charm, as they had my tire in stock AND could put it on in a half hour.  You would think the story ended happily after that, which it would have if I didn't fight for an hour on the phone with the warranty company to cover the cost.  After teaching them some words they may not have heard before and skipping grocery shopping for fear that I may run over a soccer mom in the parking lot just for funsies, I needed something to calm my rather inflamed nerves. Thank God for Merpugs.

    This is the most adorable Fiji Mermaid I have ever seen.  Usually they look like some ratty old monkey sewn to the business end of a trout, but I would actually let this guy into my house.  He'd make me feel better/less murderous on days like these and he could do the same for you if you help make him a real toy.  Shlii has launched a campaign right now to produce these aquatic canines and you can back it by checking out this link.  They're really affordable and they're from Norfolk, Virginia which is the area I grew up in.  That alone should make you want one.  



"Baby Huey" from Frank Kozik x Kidrobot to Debut at SDCC



    Being a sadistic dictator has never been more adorable!  Check out Frank Kozk's take on North Korea's supreme ruler with this itty bitty "Baby Huey" from Kidrobot.  Now we know what happened when Seth Rogen and James Franco made that movie about whacking this dude, so what do you think the retaliation will be when this plastic bed wetter makes his debut at San Diego Comic Con?  Do you think the North Koreans will invade Kidrobot's booth and buy them all up, preventing them from being obtained by the general public?  Will they release secret information about Frank, like how long he has been a subscriber to Cat Fancy magazine?  Are they gonna hack my website for posting this?  The world as we know it could change at the hands of a hilarious vinyl figure.  

   Now don't fret like this little guy if you aren't going to Comic Con, cause he will be available on a wider scale in stores and online starting August 6th.  At 8 inches tall and only $65, that's a lot of bang for your buck.  Hopefully not a literal bang from an angry North Korean army.  Viva la Revolucion!!!!!

Help Kickstart the First Ever Figure from Chokehazrd Toys




    I love the fact that anyone with an idea can now get their toys brought to life with a little help from Kickstarter and collectors.  And you aren't just supporting a killer looking figure here, cause your pledges are helping Chokehazrd Toys become a company.  How many times are you gonna get credit for doing something like that?  It's not like those house parties your friends are always throwing to sell you crap like jewelry embedded in candles, or really over priced food.  Those people are not business owners, they are a hateful plague that should be wiped from the earth or at least kept off of Facebook.

    Not only is this figure pretty awesome looking from the front to the back, and pretty big at 6 and a half inches tall, but he's super affordable as in you won't feel guilty about ordering one because you had to choose between filling your car with gas or adding Noxious to your collection.


    The great thing about this is he has been fully funded and is now guaranteed to go into production.  You won't have to wait around for a month wondering if it's gonna happen or not like you usually do with crowd funding campaigns, so now is the perfect time to get involved.  Check out this link and be a part of someone's toy dreams coming true.

Tenacious Toys Exclusive Bun Bun from Brent Nolasco





    I bet this guy is related to the bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Though he doesn't look as fluffy, or as innocent, but he does have the sharp pointy teeth and that's gotta be an isolated genetic anomaly.  We better hope so any way, cause the bunny uprising is the last thing we need right now.

    Brent Nolasco's resin Bun Bun figure got himself a blue makeover to be part of Super Series Sunday tomorrow from Tenacious Toys.  Only 7 will be available when they go on sale and at just $75 each they won't last long.  And this is a lot of toy for your money too; just look at how big it is in the hands of a grown man:



     Those aren't baby mitts people!  Be ready at 8pm eastern time tomorrow when this sucker goes up for sale only at www.tenacioustoys.com


Semi Korosiya "Hiatus" Release from Cop A Squat Toys




    It's been a hot minute since we've seen a new Semi Korosiya release from Cop A Squat Toys, but this Sunday we're getting two different ones to choose from.  Which is a awesome and stressful at the same time, because how could you pick between these two?  The answer is you can't, so you're just going to have to come to terms with it and buy one of each.  I'm like, the best life coach ever.

     Both of them go on sale tomorrow, Sunday May 31st at 1pm eastern time over at http://www.copasquattoys.com.

Skelevex Spectrum: Series One Episode One On Sale Today!



    It seems like everyone has one of those mystery box subscription thingys now where some random assortment of junk gets mailed to your house every month and you hope you at least like one thing out of the entire lot to have made it worthwhile.  I hate those things.  I hate spending my money on something generic that people in an office put together because "you're into nerdy stuff so you'd obviously want this Captain America door hanger and Star Trek air freshner".  Well guess what smarty pants, I don't.  So go ahead and throw it away for me and I'll keep my money to myself.  Not that I have strong feelings about these sorts of things.

    If you're going to do a subscription service you gotta do that sucker right, like with these Skelevex releases.  Buying into their subscription service (which you only have until June 26th to do by the way) will get you a brand new geometric skull every month plus a free bonus one only available to those that subscribe.  If you have a problem with commitment, you can also buy them individually, starting with the Grape edition you see here.  This guy will be available starting today at 1pm BST at http://skelevex.bigcartel.com/.  



Mutant Vinyl Hardcore's Ollie is Hulk-ing Out



    I'm kinda sad today.  Not long after I write this I will be on my way to the doctor to turn my kidney stones in for analysis.  After all the pain, the heartache, and the downright horror of bringing them into this world, they are now off to some lab where someone who won't care nearly as much as me will cut them up to figure out what made em.  Is this how all mother's feel when their children go off into the world?   I have a nice spot in my cabinet where I think they'd look good.  My stones, not other people's children.  Weirdo.

   Don't cry for me Argentina because it's time once again for another Mutant Vinyl Hardcore lottery.  This time you have the chance to own one of these gigantic Ollie figures painted up to look like the Hulk.  Have they ever explained how Bruce Banner's pants stretch to fit him when he rages out?  They seriously ned to investigate what fabric those things are using because I would take that to Shark Tank stat.  Imagine, only ever having to buy one pair of pants that will stretch and shrink to fit you no matter how many trips you make to the buffet in your life.  It's a billion dollar innovation.

    The lottery for this figure begins at noon eastern time today and will run for 24 hours.  If you win, you have the ability to purchase this behemoth of a toy.  If you lose, you get the satisfaction of knowing you tried.  Hey, this isn't t-ball, not everyone gets a trophy.  Get on it at http://www.mutantvinylhardcore.com/

Yellow Sunshine Bunnies from Peter Kato Available Tonight!



    I happen to live in the Northeastern United States and there was a time in the not so distant past (like, last week) that we thought winter was going to be measured like in Game of Thrones.  It was gonna last for 8 years, our skin would become translucent like those cave critters that live in the dark their whole lives, and we'd have to stock up on Dragon Glass to protect ourselves from shriveled yet frightening abominable snow men.  Thankfully, the sun has returned to us and we shall enjoy fried foods on our boardwalks while wearing the least amount of clothing allowed by law.  Rejoice!

     Peter Kato is obviously thrilled about the return of warm weather because he has captured the spirit of the season in these Yellow Sunshine Bunnies.  If you want to snag your own bit of summer you'll have your chance tonight at 8pm eastern time when they go on sale through http://peterkatoshop.com/.

Preorder "The 13th" Dunny Series from Brandt Peters x Kidrobot Now!






    Man, I have been hurting recently.  I've been passing what feels like concrete shards through places sharp objects were never intended to be.  Two emergency room trips, one surgical procedure, and a hell of a lot of boredom while trying to get better and I finally think I've turned the corner.  The worst part (besides the pain, silly goose) was that I fell into a dark place.  I'm not talking about that spot between your couch cushions that both science and God have abandoned; I got depressed not being able to go to work and being stuck watching lawyer commercials on daytime television.  Granted, its not nearly the worst that could happen to someone, but it still sucked just waiting around to get better.  Even the internet became boring, until I saw these guys.

    I'm going to go a head and call this as the best series of Dunnys I've ever seen.  Normally I'm more a fan of the annual series that features a bunch of different artists because I like a variety when it comes to the designs.  But this set from Brandt Peters and Kidrobot really goes above and beyond to not be repetitive while still retaining a clear cohesiveness.  There's not a single one I wouldn't be excited to own and I usually never get that excited just based on the artwork at not photos of the actual figures themselves.  I was gonna hold out and post about these when the product shots started making their way online, but Circus Posterus is running such a ridiculously awesome preorder for a case of these that I didn't want you to miss out.  Right now at www.circusposterus.com you can reserve yourself an entire case of 20 blind boxed figures for $225.  Not only are you getting a discount on the case but you'll also receive a 5x7" original sketch from Brandt Peters himself!  So you'll get a ton of toys, some original art to hang on the wall, and the best time of your life sitting on your floor opening blind boxes.  You might need to take a few days off from work to recover.

Lucky Devil Skelve from Glenn Barr x Circus Posterus





    I have been laid up the past couple of days with what feels like a devil tearing it's way through my kidney, pitchfork in hand and with something to prove.  We blasted that sucker with sound waves and bit by bit he's been making his way out, ready to go terrorize someone else.  Sadly he may be as mischievous, but he's nowhere near as cute as this guy from Glenn Barr and Circus Posterus.  He has given the classic Skelve an adorable makeover and you can welcome him into your home starting today when they go on sale at noon pacific time.  Only 30 will be made, he stands 9 inches tall, and comes with a free 5x7 print.  Get yours at http://www.circusposterus.com.

I Think I Took Too Much Pain Medication But I'm Still Gonna Review "Hung" from Luke Chueh x Munky King Toys




    Let me tell you folks a story.  It's starts last week when I woke up very early in the morning with the worst pain I've ever felt in my guts.  Seriously, it was like being stabbed with a sword that was made out of bees who were also on fire and on parole.  I woke my wife up and made her drive me to the emergency room.  One CT scan and entire work day later, I was diagnosed with an overachieving kidney stone.  Despite my pain I was kinda proud that rather than making some little baby pebbles in my urinary tract I had instead formed some calcified hell beast that was leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.  I say go big or go home.  So here I sit, days later, with enough pain medication to get me on an episode of Intervention and an appointment to blast this behemoth into tiny pieces via some big speaker and a Pantera record.  Or at least that's what I think my insurance will cover, I'm not really sure.


Dimebag's gonna heal me from beyond the grave.  Then bill my HMO.  
 

    But back to the pain, cause that bugger hurts enough that swinging from the old gallows seems like a good method of treatment.  I bet this polar bear from Luke Chueh and Munky King had one and no amount of pills could make him feel better.  Actually he probably did it because of global warming and the destruction of his natural habitat, so think about that the next time you throw your soda can in the regular trash instead of the recycling, ya jerk.  Though I prefer personally to believe that he just based his life around the wrong Johnny Cash song and he met a tragic end after being involved in some Wild West justice.  We'll go with that one.



     So I think this could go in the record books as the tiniest designer toy ever made.  Not that it's a bad thing by any means, because how often can you take the things you're obsessed with around with you?  He comes with a little plastic peg that fits into your cell phone's earbud jack, so everytime you text you can one-up the person next to you with the bedazzled case that says "princess".


You can BEARLY notice the cracked screen.  


    If that's not your thing the piece is removable, leaving behind a clip that can be attached to your zipper,  or you could put it on a necklace, or you could buy two of them and make a set of earrings that will surely be the hit of your family's annual Christmas photo.  But my favorite use thus far has been impromptu cat toy.  Behold:


Look at her little tongue sticking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    One of the things that really impresses me about this figure is that the noose is not plastic, but is a piece of string that would have to have been hand tied.  Now I've read a fair amount of resumes in my day but never have I seen one that had "tiny noose making" listed as a skill.  How do you even find out you're good at something like that?  Were you just a wee little lad, handing out rough justice to cockroaches?  I just imagine there was a meeting at the factory and the head guy was like "we have a problem, we need someone that can tie 1000 tiny nooses" and then the normally quit guy in the back formed the biggest smile on his face, thrust his hand triumphantly in the air, and said "sir, I've been waiting my whole life for this opportunity."  He is now the head of his own department.

   
     You may or may not know that I like to joke around a lot (I know, I do hide it really well) but there's nothing funny about suicide.  Munky King will be donating a portion of the proceeds from this figure to suicide prevention charities.  Pick one up this Sunday, May 24th, at www.munkyking.com and grow your collection while helping a good cause.

    You know what must be the most horrifying thing in the world?  When you're a server at a restaurant and you find out it's someone's birthday.  Cause you know you've got to rally your fellow coworkers and do your best to embarrass someone while their family laughs.  I would bet that most waiters and waitresses dread this moment, while the ones that look forward to it will be surprised to learn the punishment that awaits them after death.

    K. Olin Tribu are celebrating their 5th birthday, and instead of interrupting their meal with an impromptu episode of American Idol, they're offering you a present for your support.  Check out that coupon code you see above there and get something for yourself while saving some money.  You can get directly to their site by clicking the link you see on the right.

"Little Green Men" Custom PickleBaby show at Suburban Vinyl Tomorrow



    Ever since I saw Leecifer's PickleBaby figure I've been hoping someone would put that little sucker in a jar and make a pickled baby custom.  Those things always freak me out whenever we visit the Mutter Museum and I think that particular custom figure has been begging to be made for years.  Well hold onto your britches because I have it on good authority that it has happened and will be on display at Suburban Vinyl's "Little Green Men" custom show tomorrow.  And by good authority I mean this picture right here from artist Mikie Graham:


    Here are a few more of the customs you can see when the show opens tomorrow night:






To see more you have to go to the show, ya lazy bums.  

Super Series Sunday's Returns to Tenacious Toys with the "Bearrito" from Diehm Studios




    I love it whenever there is a bear sighting where I live because people lose their minds.  The news will come out, kids will stay home from school, and people will line the streets with their cell phones trying to get a good picture for Instagram.  Meanwhile the poor bear was just looking to dig through some trash and now is gonna end up with a tranquilizer dart in its butt.  After a short nap the now famous bear ends up in a place it doesn't recognize all because that Chinese takeout someone threw away smelled really good.  It's like the poor creature went on a date with a frat guy.

   If a bear dressed as a giant burrito maybe we would think it was just clever advertising for a Mexican restaraunt and leave it be.  Then he'd have unlimited access to all the garbage bins and small children he could stomach.  It's a win-win for everyone!

    This Sunday Tenacious Toys will be unleashing their newest exclusive, the Atomic Blue Corn Bearrito from Diehm Studios.  He's 2 inches of spicy fury and will be made to order, giving you exactly one week to pull the trigger and get one for your collection.  This dude goes live at 8pm eastern time and the window for ordering closes on May 24th.  Pick yours up here.

Sawyer 1/6 Scale Figure from 3A Available Now




        I know everyone is all excited about the new Mad Max movie, but the whole post-apocalyptic thing just doesn't work for me. I get that the apocalypse is pretty devastating, but there's always tons of people in these films and yet none of them are apparently skilled in the building trades.  In Mad Max they drive these wild armored cars, yet why do they not put any effort into building apartment complexes?  Questions like that just nag me throughout so I don't even bother watching films like that most of the time.   And there looks to be a serious lack of deodorant, which is something we should probably start prepping for now.  Screw the zombies, let's keep the remaining folks smelling good and confident in their freshness.  That's how you rebuild infrastructure.



    The world of Sawyer and Beaver Industries doesn't seem to be nearly as grim as Mad Max, but depending on what secrets the company is hiding in their massive facility, that situation could rapidly change.  Sawyer is conducting her own investigation into the mysterious place she works, and what she uncovers could change everything.  Sounds interesting to me!  Not only does the story seem cool, but the characters have a really unique look to them courtesy of Crystal Jade Vaughn.  Everything she does compels you to want to know more about the characters she creates.  Just from looking at the pictures online you get such a great sense of the personality that this figure possesses.



    She is available for preorder right now over at http://www.bambalandstore.com/.
