Death Cap (Amanita Must Scare You) from We Become Monsters





    These guys would make a great PSA for the dangers of taking psychedelic drugs.   I can picture a group of kids sitting in a garage, listening to Black Sabbath (not the Grateful Dead, they are insufferable)  and downing some magic shrooms.  All of sudden they kick in and these guys come swarming down the walls, crawl into their ears and noses, and devour their brains.  Not that those anti-drug campaigns ever work, I just think it would be a cool commercial.  

    These Death Caps are the crazy spawn of We Become Monsters and are available in 18 different random colors for only $22 each.  That's a great price considering each one is handmade and painted.  There are also 4 glow version for $25 each and 4 cold cast bronze dudes for $45 each.  These guys will be available on March 7th at noon Eastern time and each order comes with a free micro slab figure!

Tomb Raider Mini Mates from Diamond Select Toys




   Tomb Raider is back!!!!  The world's first pixelated pin up girl Lara Croft has a brand new game coming out so you know they had to make a on of other stuff to get all the drooling nerd boys to fork over their cash.  Diamond Select Toys will b releasing a new line of their popular Mini Mates figures featuring the fetching treasure hunter along with other characters from the game.  Looks like two of them are still super top secret, so you'll either have to get the game or be patient until the figures release this Summer.

My Little Pony Flash Drives from Mimobot




    If you're an avid reader of this blog (and why wouldn't you be, I'm delightful) then you would know I've already shown you these in my Toy Fair pictures.  But since my skills as a photographer are not the best I thought I would refresh your memory with some better images to make you swoon.  Commence swooning.

    Mimobot has made My Little Pony flash drives!  I didn't realize that there was a whole legion of dude fans that are completely obsessed with this show.  When I was a wee little lad we played with fake guns and whatever we could find in the woods, so this is a bit foreign to me.  But there's no judgement here (actually, there's a lot of judgement, but carry on).  Now you can store all your pony fan fiction somewhere you'll never lose it!  These guys are available right now from http://www.mimoco.com/.



Yolo Mesh by Kyle Kirwan x Tenacious Toys



     Is this or is this not one of the freakiest little toys you've ever seen?  If you ever see a dude that looks like this out and about there are two things you should do.  The first is to turn the other way and run until you can't feel your legs.  The second thing is to schedule a doctors appointment and get a full psych evaluation because you're probably in desperate need of medication.  

    Yolo Mesh is the frightening creation of Kyle Kirwan who may or may not be disturbed (he's probably a nice guy, but I'm not taking any chances)  He will be available this Sunday as part of Tenacious Toy's ongoing Super Series Sunday line of exclusive resin figures.  You can pick one up starting at 5pm Eastern time and as soon as he arrives to your door he will start whispering bad things in your ear.  That may or may not be true.  




Keep Watch Bank from Mishka x L'amour Supreme x Blackbook Toy



    I'm bad at saving money and I'm not sure this would help.  While this is a giant eyeball piggy bank I cant see myself dirtying it up by actually putting change in it.  It would be a good place to hide other stuff, like your internet passwords you can't remember, or that map of where all the bodies are located so you have some leverage when the police come knocking.  

    Yes, you read correctly, this is the best piggy bank the world have ever known.  It is of course the Mishka "Keep Watch" logo eyeball thingy and it was designed by L'amour Supreme and produced by Blackbook Toy.  Your first chance to get one of these will be at the 3rd anniversary of the Mishka Tokyo store on March 9th.  If you can't make the trek out to Japan you can buy one online March 11th from http://www.blackbooktoy.com/SHOP/13045.html.  See how easy I make this for you?  All you have to do is pay for it.

Porcelain Skull Brain by Emilio Garcia x K. Olin Tribu



   I've been on a skull kick recently.  There have been some really cool skull based designs from artists out there and it makes me want to refocus my collection a bit.   How cool would it be to have an entire display case devoted to designer skulls?  Sure, my therapist would probably have a thing of two to say about it, but for what I'm paying that guy it wouldn't hurt him to agree with me every once in awhile.

    This would be a really great place to start my new morbid hobby.  It's a porcelain Skull Brain designed by Emilio Garcia and brought to life (death?) by K. Olin Tribu.  They only made 100 of these and they go on sale today at http://www.artandtoys.com/.

The New 52 Pop! Vinyl from Funko


    Yeah, I'm a bit obsessed with these things. Not that I'm the only one mind you, cause I bet if they had a support group for this sort of addiction there would be a waiting list to get in.

    It is a known fact that everything you love will eventually have a Pop! Vinyl figure from Funko. I'm completely ok with that because they are very affordable and don't take up a ton of space. These figures are based on The New 52 character from DC Comics and will be available next month. You know I need that Batman figure to add to the 6 different ones I already have. I told you I have a problem.
