New Tee from Matt Anderson x Outsmart Originals



    Matt Anderson makes some crazy stuff.  His work moves well beyond the boundaries of what a toy is and brings it to the level of art.  They're big and unapologetic, which makes them interesting.  Now you can wear the maverick toy sculptor's work with you wherever you go.  Just remember to wash it every once and awhile so you don't smell like a yeti.

    This tee is available now from Outsmart Originals for only $20.  Get one now or risk getting throat punched.  I think that would hurt.

Purple Haze Zombie Fighter from Secret Base x Super7



    There's this big controversy over whether or not to let this lady who was once a dude fight other ladies in MMA.  It's kinda strange I must say, but it doesn't address the real issue of our times.  Do we let zombies fight regular humans?  They don't feel pain (unless you shoot them in the head), they will never yield to whatever submission hold you try, and they bite which is a big no no in the rule books.  Now if we started a zombie fighting league that would be entertainment.  And 100% better than that robot fighting crap that SyFy is trying to sell us as being cool.  It's not.

    If zombie fighting were a legit, sanctioned sport, my money would be on this guy from Secret Base and Super7.  After all, he's got two heads, which equals twice the concussion-sustaining power.  And he also looks like he's taken some serious damage and still come back for more, kinda like Lindsay Lohan.  You can add him to your stable of fighters tomorrow at noon Pacific time at www.super7store.com.

Game of Thrones Series 2 Pop! Vinyl from Funko



    HBO is expensive and mean.  Why won't they put their programming on Netflix?  Why do they charge so much for DVD box sets?  They drive me insane, but luckily I don't have to play into their corporate tyranny any longer and I can reenact their best show with these figures for a fraction of the cost.

    Funko is releasing the second series of Game of Thrones toys on April 11th just in time for the return of the show (for all of you rich folks).  But who needs it when a camcorder and a few of your friends will do.  Plus you can cut out all the weird incest parts and add more dragons.

Megaseth from Lisa Rae Hansen x fugi.me



    We've all seen dudes like this at shows.  He has tour t-shirts older than you are.  He used to roadie for Motorhead in '86 before they got fired for getting more groupies than Lemmy.  He is the world's biggest metal fan.  Megaseth is the original disciple of loud guitars and songs about wizards and now he can come home with you to guard your record collection against infiltration by the likes of Justin Bieber.

    Created by Lisa Rae Hansen and produced by fugi.me, this resin figure is limited to 10 of each version at ToyConUK; one at Lisa's (I Break Toys) booth and the other at the fugi.me booth.  There is also a special chase version of each figure, so they are blind boxed.  Each one also comes with guitar picks, buttons, mini print, and concert ticket.  If any are left over they will be put on their respective websites.  May the gods of metal shine upon you, or something.

Sons of Anarchy Die Cast Motorcycles from Maisto



    Is there any guy out there that watches Sons of Anarchy that doesn't wish they could be a part of the craziness?  Sure, you're pretty much guaranteed to get murdered, but it seems like a great time up until then.  Your day job involves riding around on your Harley, being a bad ass, selling guns and getting women.  It's the American dream condensed into hour long episodes.  But since I don't think I would have the best time in jail, I should probably stick to writing about toys and petting my cats.  Seems a bit safer that way.

    Now it's easier to live out our outlaw fantasies with these die-cast bikes from the show.  Maisto has released the rides of Jax, Clay and Opie.  They're popping up in stores now and most online sites have em priced at around $30 for the set of three.  







DigesTED from Alex Pardee x Kidrobot Black



     I still have my teddy bear from when I was a child.  It was a Winnie the Pooh, and I carried that little sucker with me everywhere.  So much so that all of his fur came out and he's been stitched up more than Joan River's face.  He's kind of grotesque, like a small little corpse, which may explain a lot about how I turned out.  Luckily for me though, there were no crazy monsters living under his tattered plush.

    Meet DigesTED from Alex Pardee and Kidrobot Black.  This monstrosity may have once been a a nice teddy bear, but now he has morphed into something horrific and has developed a taste for the blood of children.  They made 250 of these twisted figures and they will be $200 when they are released on March 28th.  It's perfect for those of you that have a new baby and are looking for that extra special something to finish off their nursery.  If you want to raise the next Ted Bundy.
