This little guy came out yesterday, but I believe in being fashionably late (and having to go to work) so I'm telling you about him today. This is the Doku Duo Blue edition from Super7. I couldn't begin to tell you what he's supposed to be. Is he a bird with a dead ice cream cone hat? Maybe. Maybe he's your spirit guide coming to take you on a grand adventure through the cosmos. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night and that actually makes more sense to me than it should. For $35 you can get one and make it be whatever you like.

New York Comic Con is just around the corner and we're finally starting to see some of the crazy exclusives that will be available. This one is going to be hard to top in my book. It's the Cosmos Mongolian from Lamour Supreme and Super7 and this due is looking sick in purple glitter vinyl. This will be available at the Super7 booth and is definitely on my wish list.

Kings of Atlantis Minis from Argonaut Resins Release Tonight!!!!!
These skulls look like the coolest candy that no one has ever made yet. These are the Kings of Atlantis Minis from Argonaut Resins and you could get one of your very own tonight!!!!!! These things always sell out quickly and I always am late to the party when it comes to posting about them, but finally I am on top of things. My slow ability at reporting the news is probably why NBC hasn't offered me a spot on The Today Show yet. Obviously they're not ready for how much better I could make that show. Be ready at 10pm Eastern time tonight to get yours.
Game of Thrones Pop! Vinyl from Funko
HOLY CRAP! How often do I say that about something? Ok, maybe a few times here and there, but I rarely put it in all caps. These Game of Thrones Pop! Vinyls from Funko were a nice surprise to see in my Facebook feed and are a must-own for anybody vaguely interested in the hit book and tv series. These guys will be available in November this year, and are epically adorable.
How does every other character have these crazy names and this guy is just Ned Stark? He sounds like he may enjoy Nascar, drinking whatever beer happens to be on sale, and cooking road kill. Not that I don't have relatives that enjoy those same activities, but still.

Creo Design Presents: Lofing
I've been reading Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test about Ken Kesey and the whole LSD thing from the 1960s. The book is an interesting insight to a time period I've always found fascinating but never really dug too deeply in. The idea of a group of people living together in the woods and painting things in day glow colors while whacked out of their minds and waxing philosophical is a foreign concept to me. If that were to go on today I would imagine the government would waste little time in obtaining search warrants and putting their shenanigans to rest. Other than the drug thing it seems like an ideal way of life, just hanging out, creating weird things, and taking part in the vast beauty of nature.
I think this guy would fit right in with Mr. Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters. This is Lofing, a big old hunk of vinyl complete with his little mushroom sidekick. Don't worry Lofing, I'm not a cop, your mushroom friend is safe. Creo Design is producing this guy and he should be available soon to bring a bit of happiness to your collection.
Man E Toys M.U.S.C.L.E Inspired Exclusives
I'm digging all the M.U.S.C.L.E. - like figures people are coming up with. I dug the originals when I was younger and seeing these makes me a bit sad that I don't still have them. I can't even tell you what I did with them, but I would bet moving all the time didn't help matters. So much cool stuff was just lost between packing and unpacking and loading up trucks and what have you. I'm gonna have to see my therapist twice this week I think cause I'm getting all nostalgic.
But what is awesome is that I could totally rebuild my collection with awesome new figures that awesome new people are making. All of the little guys you see here were made by Eric Nilla and Tyler of Nama-Niku and are available right now in these exclusive colors from Man-E-Toys. Check 'em out, then go and order some and have epic wrasslin matches.
This guy is my favorite and was designed based on the popular Splatterhouse game that was originally available on the Turbo Grafix 16. Who's gonna fight a guy with a meat cleaver that's bigger than he is? He wins his matches by default every time.

Hot Toys Catwoman 1/6th Scale Figure
My Christmas list is now complete and this is the only thing I want. Does that make me creepy? Who cares, just look at this figure. This is the Hot Toys 1/6th scale Catwoman figure. As you can see it is based off of Anne Hathaway's portrayal of the iconic character in The Dark Knight Rises. As you can also see, I have a bit of a crush on Anne Hathaway. And who doesn't? Weirdos probably, and other people you wouldn't let babysit your kids cause their judgement is obviously skewed.
Good Lord, just look at the amount of detail they were able to capture. If you didn't know it was a toy you might be tricked into thinking it was a promo shot from the movie. Do you think she got to keep the costume after the movie was over? Naughty, naughty minx.
I have no idea when this comes out or what it will cost cause honestly, I'm not an investigative journalist. If they don't make this info readily available I'm not gonna go around and harass folks about it. I'm a bit lazy in that regards, plus there's a lot of good television I could be watching instead. Cable isn't cheap ya know.
