ToyConUK Exclusives from The Hang Gang

    Every time I write about this guy I feel the need to remind you that there is an actual animal called a wooper looper and that is it's real name.  Google that sucker and marvel at how cool nature can be.  

    This Wooper Looper was made by Gary Ham and is an exclusive to The Hang Gang at ToyConUK.  Only 35 were made in this color and they also will have 5 unpainted ones that you can make look however you want, or just leave 'em naked and exposed to the elements.  Your choice says a lot about you,  and I won't tell you which one makes you a sociopath.  Bwahahahaha.   

    Of course they didn't stop there.  They also teamed up with Jeff Lamm and Unbox Industries for this exclusive Spike Wad.  Only 10 of these guys were made and they have pink flocking!!!!  So fuzzy!!!  Jeff Lamm will be in attendance so you can get him to sign it, or give him a high five, or buy him lunch.  He's probably down for all of that.  

UME Toys Resin Releases for ToyConUK

    You know what I've accomplished today?  I beat Tomb Raider while in my underwear.  That is literally it.  Granted, it's snowing outside and the roads are bad, but I could have done something more productive. I could have at least put pants on.  Richard from UME Toys has managed to be much busier than me as he has created a ton of new resin pieces for ToyConUK.  These are but some of them and if you would like to see more you can check out his Flickr page here. 

Big Metal Fan Resin Figure from Hungry for Imps

    It seems like everyone is making their own toys now.  Which is good, cause it's better to be out there creating stuff than sitting outside of a 7-11 with a brown bag of party juice trying to pick up soccer moms and reliving your glory days to the local juggalos.  I applaud creative endeavors, which is why I'm always happy to get emails from someone who's out there making things happen.

    This guy, who looks like he would haunt Judas Priest's tour bus, was made by Hungry for Imps.  He only made five of them and you can pick one up today at 5pm from http://hungryforimps.bigcartel.com/  for $20.  

Super Series Sunday from Task One x Tenacious Toys

    Who doesn't love the Muppets?  Well, maybe communists and violent felons, but just about everyone else does.  Hell, I'll go and watch Muppets Take Manhattan right now and thoroughly enjoy it and there's not much you can do about it.  My favorite guys are the rats that work as cooks in the diner.  Still cleaner than eating at McDonald's.

    Task One is continuing his Pillaging Pop Culture blind box series with three new figures this week.  Buy one for $40 or all three for $100.  These will be on sale through Tenacious Toys for their Super Series Sundays release on March 24th at 4pm Eastern time.  Once these figures go on sale, the previous three will no longer be available, so act now if you want to complete your set.  Or if you want to prove you're a baller, you can get all 18 figures for $600 and not worry yourself about on sale dates.  

DC Comics Mystery Minis from Funko

    Can you ever have too much Batman?  All signs point to no (remember Magic 8 Ball?  do they still make those?)  Funko is releasing these Mystery Mini blind boxed figures on April 24th and they look pretty cool.  My only gripe would be that there's no Harley Quinn figure, but other than that I like these little guys.  You can check out all the variations and the assortment rate below.  

Hug The Killer Glow Edition from Mighty Jaxx

    You need Hug the Killer in your life.  I got the original version in the mail yesterday and I love this murderous worm.  Now Mighty Jaxx have added a glow in the dark version to add to your collection.  They only made 50 of them and they are available right now from www.mightyjaxx.com.  If you buy a lot of them you could save money on your electric bill.  Or you'll just have a creepy army of glow critters that want to eat your face.  Either way is cool.

Reason I'm Slacking Today: Tomb Raider

    I can't be productive every day of my life can I?  Add to that a foxy treasure hunter with an English accent reminiscent of a teenage Nigella Lawson and rest assured that my responsibilities in life will pass by unnoticed.  Yes, I've gotten my hand on the newest Tomb Raider game and it has sucked me in.  It's like Uncharted but with eye candy.  And she's not just a looker, because 5 minutes into the game she lands on a piece of rebar that pierces her back and pops clean through to the other side.  Does that deter her?  Nope, she just reaches down, pulls it out, and hobbles on.  She didn't call in sick, or sit around in her pajama pants all day, she got things done.  Things like shooting guys in the head with a bow and arrow, and shooting guys in the head with a pistol.  You know, girl stuff.
