Evel Fett Figure from Retro Outlaw x 3D Retro for SDCC

    Mother of God how cool is this?  How come no one has ever mashed up Star Wars and Evel Knievel before in toy form before?  Looking at this picture it just seems like the obvious thing to do.  The only thing that would make this better is if he had that stunt cycle for the '70's that you had to rev up an watch as it crashed into the wall.  

See how much fun he's having.  Or she's having.  It was an ambiguous time.  

    Retro Outlaw and 3D Retro (that's a lot of retro) are making this king of bounty hunting dare devils available at this year's San Diego Comic Con.  You can pick one up for $120 at booth #929.  Then you can go home because nothing will be cooler than this.  Or you could stay, since I'm sure it cost you a lot of money to get there and whatnot.  But buy this guy first so you have something to hug the rest of the time.  

Unpainted Dream Rocket Toys from Lulubell Toy Bodega

    I'm detecting a theme developing here today.  It's all unpainted toys!  Paint 'em yourself, send 'em to someone else to paint, or leave them as they are because you're undecided.  Personally, I think all toys look better painted, especially with the amount of detail in these figures from Dream Rocket.  I mean, at least spatter some red on them so they look like they've been on a rampage of unspeakable horror.  Lulubell Toy Bodega is offering these suckers up as preorders but you should hurry, cause the cobra dude already sold out (which is why there's no picture of him, cause I don't want to tease you like that).

Black Unpainted Mecha Greasebat from Jeff Lamm x Monster Worship

    With the government listening in on our phone calls and wanting to deploy drones to spy on us, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing stuff like this policing the streets.  Well, maybe not EXACTLY like this, because that would involve a level of creativity our elected officials just don't possess.  But something along these lines, ready to club you for not picking up your dog's poop.  

  

    Today is the day that Mecha Greasebat will be unleashed upon the world!  Designed by Jeff Lamm and produced by Monster Worship, these big hunks 'o black plastic will be going on sale at 7pm Eastern time at https://store.monsterworship.com/ for $85.  

S.U.C.K.L.E. Mini Figures Kickstarter from The Sucklord x DKE

    Everybody is getting in one little figures like this, so it was only a matter of time before The Sucklord put his spin on them.  You can help make these guys a reality with the official SUCKLE Kickstarter campaign.  Evidently, it costs a lot of money to make tiny wrestling dudes, so DKE and The Sucklord are raising some funds to produce a butt ton of these figures.  Like any Kickstarter, what you pledge determines what you get in return, including the exclusive clear version of the set.  Loosen up those purse strings and get to donating at :

Custom Sprogs and Robobees from Lunabee

    We're going all out cute today.  I can't be dark and brooding all the time like I was as a teenager.  I don't have time to lock myself in my room, listen to Marilyn Manson records, and think about how great it will be when I blow this hick town and become a guitar god.  Now I listen to Marilyn Manson while driving in the car to get Vitamin Water from Target and to pay my cable bill.  So it's cool now if I wear something other than black and let a little bit of cuteness into my life.  

    Lunabee painted these figures that were made by her man friend Cris Rose and has turned them from rusty robots into patrons of summer.  They will be on sale today at 7pm London time (that sounds so fancy) at http://lunabee.bigcartel.com/.

More Wizard of Oz Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    Do you want to know the lengths I go to in order to make this site more interesting than any other toy site on the internet?  I just watched The Wizard of Oz with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon to see if they really matched up.  Sure, I could have just paraphrased a press release, but that's not what I'm about.  I dig deeper, I relate the toys to real life, to your life.  And no, I didn't really think it matched up that well.  I also think you need a certain level of inebriation to allow the music and film to meld together into a cohesive experience.  And while I will not be tripping the light fantastic (I have a tub to caulk today) I do present you with these figures from the film.

    Funko is releasing these additional figures to their Pop! Vinyl Wizard of Oz line in August.  And it's also the 75th anniversary of the film that has warmed the hearts of children and drive mad the minds of stoners.  If you've never read the books by Gregory Maguire that deal with the origin stories of the various characters you really should.  You'll have an entirely different outlook on the film afterwards.  And thus we have concluded The Toy Viking Book Club for June.  

Kammu: Bronze Edition from Nathan Hamill

    I will own you at Monopoly.  There's nothing you can do about it. I will have you so in debt to me by the end of the game that I will own your real life things too.  I'll take your car, your house, I'll even take your dog.  That's just how I roll.  When it comes to fake business transactions I'm like a steamroller through suburbia, leaving only hotels in my wake.  

    Imagine how intimidating it would be if you had a one of these guys to use as your game piece.  There's nothing about an old hobo's shoe that let's people know you're here to take all of their railroads and utilities, but this guy screams power.  Of course Nathan Hamill didn't design this bronze edition of Kammu for use in a board game, but who's to say you can't get maximum enjoyment out of your collectibles?  Produced by Pretty in Plastic and limited to only 30 pieces, this guy is available for preorder right now from http://nathanhamill.bigcartel.com/.
