Rose Vampire Off Road Casket Cruiser from Super7



    One year for Valentine's Day my wife and I wanted to do something different.  So instead of the usual go out to diner, buy flowers, and eat chocolates until we were diabetic, we went to see monster trucks.  It was the best Valentine's Day ever!!!  And I almost got into a fight with this volunteer fire fighter who had these obnoxious kids that kept jumping around and landing in my lap which made me quite uncomfortable but then when I said something he got mouthy so it was about to go down but then he realized that he hadn't actually had enough beers to give him enough courage to want any part of this so he sat back down and I was able to watch giant trucks crush little cars in peace without having to stomp the life out of a hillbilly in front of his young kids and wife.  Not that I would have felt bad about doing so.  

    This Off Road Casket Cruiser from Super7 just brings back all of those romantic memories like someone has opened the floodgate of my heart.  Get one today for $65 from www.super7store.com and relive your own romantic redneck moments.  




Hellboy Mini Qees from Toy2R x Dark Horse





    It's not easy to get news about what Toy2r is up to these days since their US office has closed and my ability to read Chinese is about as good as my ability so shoot lasers from my eyes.  Every now and then something will make itself known to me and I can share it with you.  This is a good one too.

    Utilizing their Mini Qee platform (which I love) they have announced plans to release these three Hellboy figures this summer.  They worked closely with Dark Horse and Mike Mignola on the character designs and word is some of them will be rarer than others (my guess would be the glow in the dark to be the rarest).  The best part is they'll only be $19.99 each when released, so you don't have to feel too guilty about not saving for your retirement.  







Giant Monster Embryos from Taylored Curiosities and Creo Design




    This thing is literally a beast.  Taylored Curiosities decided it was time to make her Monster Embryos a bit bigger, so she enlisted the help of Creo Design and they created this gigantic future critter.  And a monster it is, as the finished product is 6 inches tall and 8 inches wide of pure, solid resin.  You could use this thing as a weapon if anyone ever breaks into your house.  They made 10 of these for ToyCon UK and they will have customs from artists such as Lisa Rae Hansen, Nervis Wrek, and the one you see below by Ume Toys.  And Jon-Paul Kaiser will be customizing one in person at the event.

Unpainted Glow In The Dark Pollen Kaiser and Luftkaiser from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery


    Did you miss me yesterday?  I was in the great state of Virginia visiting my grandparents, but I was thinking of you guys the whole time.  Well, part of the time, but I made an effort.  Our relationship is nothing if not abusive dear reader.  

    What do we have here?  Oh nothing, just the new glow in the dark Pollen Kaiser and Luftkaiser from Paul Kaiju and Toy Art Gallery.  And it looks like I came back just in time, because these release today at noon Pacific time from http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.  Pollen Kaiser stands at a mighty 10 inches tall and will run you $155, while his little buddy Luftkaiser is a mere 4 inches tall and is bargain priced at $45.  Limit one of each toy per customer.  Don't let me see these on eBay either or I'll send someone to beat you.

Bog Zeroth from Meta-Crypt x Critical Hit x Lulubell Toys



    This guy will inspire countless metal anthems in drop d tuning.  He will be tattooed on the arms of sweaty bros whose shirts have had their sleeves removed.  He will be airbrushed on the sides of vans that you would never park next to when you visit the mall.  He is Bog Zeroth!

    Meta-Crypt (Brian Ewing and Hateball) and Critical Hit (Skinner) put their evil little minds together along with Lulubell Toys to bring forth this unholy monstrosity.  I know you want one so let's get to the details.  Since there are only 12 of them they are holding a lottery for the chance to purchase one.  Starting today at noon Pacific time you can email amy@lulubelltoys.com with "Crypt Lottery" in the subject line.  You must also include your name, full addresss, and your PayPal email address.  The lottery closes on Wednesday at noon Pacific time at which point they will randomly select the winners and email you.  Then you gotta pay up the $110 plus shipping.

Species 246 by Dubose Art for Tenacious Toys




    So Tenacious Toys has this new thing they're doing called Super Series Sundays in which they will release a limited edition resin or custom series every Sunday night.  So now you have something to do right after The Walking Dead rather than watching that dreadful Talking Dead show where they get people to blabber on about what you just saw.  Who cares.  Kevin Smith was on it last week wearing his stupid hockey jersey like he always is.  Do you think he owns 70 of those things or that he just makes his man servant wash the same one every day?

    Back to business.  The first in this series is Species 246 by DuBose Art.  Only 10 of these were made in this exclusive color and will be available starting at 10pm this Sunday for $35 from www.tenacioustoys.com.

Tokyo Strain Deadbeet from Scott Tolleson



    Two Deadbeet figures in one week!  Is there a holiday I'm unaware of?  This is the Tokyo Strain Deadbeet from Scott Tolleson, which is available today at 10pm Pacific time for $70.  Only 20 of them exist and can be obtained at http://www.stolleart.com/store/.  I think he should have called it the Jamaican Bobsled Team edition myself, but then again no one asked me.
