Android Lucky Cat Series from Shane Jessup



    We all could use a little more luck in our life.  Maybe you need some extra help getting rid of that mysterious rash that popped up seemingly out of nowhere.  Maybe you need to win the lottery and pay off that scary Italian guy before he can fit you for concrete boots and introduce you to the bottom of the local fishing hole.  There are always a plethora of reasons we need lady luck on our side, so having a box full of these guys scattered around the house couldn't hurt.

    These Lucky Cat Android figures were designed by Shane Jessup and come packaged in nice little window boxes so you don't have to buy 30 of them to get the ones you really want.  Everybody that sells cool toys is now taking orders for these kitties and they will ship out in a few weeks.  So hopefully that rash doesn't spread and that lasagna you made for Vinny Knuckles will appease him long enough for you to have these delivered and their magic powers to kick in.

New Resin Heathrows from Frank Kozik Release Today!




     I guarantee you it will take me longer to write this than these guys will be on sale.  You have to be an internet sniper if you want to buy anything that Frank Kozik puts up for sale.  You have to take the day off from work, eat a lunch loaded with both protein and carbs, and have the nimble fingers of a juvenile factory worker when it comes to typing your credit card number.  I would start training now.

    The brand new resin Heathrows you see go on sale today at noon Pacific time only at www.frankkozik.net.  Both are limited to 13 pieces each and come with mind blowing swirly action.  Seriously, I have one of the past editions of these guys and I stared at it like I had been huffing paint fumes my whole life.  The Redrum Edition complete with axe and bad attitude will be $120 while the Blueberry Swirl Edition is an even $100.  Each one is hand made by the man himself and comes bagged with a signed and numbered header card.




Luftkaiser Painted Yellow Edition from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery



    I love this guy.  In a strictly platonic way mind you, but it's still love none the less.  This is the first time one of Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser figures has been painted and you can get one of them today!  For a mere $60 you can have this 4 inch tall evil German bat looking dude delivered to your door.  He goes on sale at noon Pacific time today at shop.toyartgallery.com.

Bad Apple White Exclusive from Mighty Jaxx and Cardboard Spaceship



    This is by far my favorite version of this figure.  There's just something about it being all white with that bright red hand grenade that really makes this piece pop for me.  Mighty Jaxx created the "Bad Apple" figure in collaboration with Goin and this version will be exclusively available through Cardboard Spaceship. Only 50 of them were made and they're gonna run you about $100.  They will be for sale on March 11th, so if your stuck at work grab your smart phone and take a break on the john long enough to get one.  Not that I've done that before.  A lot.

Injustice Figures from DC Collectibles



    I'm not big on the whole fighting game genre myself, as I have too many bad memories of broken controllers and holes in the wall when Mortal Kombat didn't go my way.  Now that I have nicer things I don't really need to revisit anything that can infuriate me enough to throw my possessions about.  So the idea of playing the new Injustice: Gods Among Us game makes me a tad nervous, but that doesn't mean I can't buy all of the toys and have my own battle royale in my living room.  One in which the stupid computer controlled characters never win and I remain undefeated.  

    DC Collectibles are releasing these guys in packs of two cause duh, who would they fight otherwise.  Next month they will release Wonder Woman and Solomon Grundy along with Deathstroke and Green Arrow. 




    Then in June you can get Harley Quinn and Cyborg.  You all know I love Harley Quinn, but I am not feeling this design.  She looks like she's gonna do a rain dance.  Every year when I go to comic conventions she is the character people dress up as and screw up the most, so maybe this is fitting.  She looks cool in the game, but it didn't translate well to plastic.  




Toasted Mini Marshall from 64 Colors x Rotofugi x Squibbles Ink



    You know what's a bad idea?  Standing too close to a pile of burning trash while wearing ripped jeans because you were a cool kid in the 90's.  And if you're going to make that mistake ensure that your underwear would not feature anything that could embarrass you in front of  your friends should you need to remove said jeans and stomp out the inferno that burned your leg hair off.  I will never forgive you Bart Simpson!

    You know what's a good idea?  Toasted marshmallows.  And diversifying your investment portfolio.  But mostly toasted marshmallows.  64 Colors have enlisted the help of Rotofugi and Squibbles Ink to bring this little guy to life and/or near death.  These little guys will be available starting today at 11am Central time from http://www.rotofugi.com/ and http://www.64colors.com/ for $9.95.
