Yuki 7 from Kevin Dart x Gentle Giant for SDCC

    And now for something completely different.  This is not what I would expect from Gentle Giant, who are known more for their super realistic versions of film and television characters.  Created by Kevin Dart, this super secret agent is an exclusive to San Diego Comic Con and being that the preorders for non attendees have already sold out, you're gonna need to find a friend to snag you this.

First SDCC Exclusives from Funko

    You can expect a bazillion of posts detailing the exclusives that Funko will have for San Diego Comic Con.  They have a list that is insanely long and they are just now starting to reveal some of what they're bringing.  Like these metallic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!  The shiny paint is so much cooler than the regular release, so I imagine these will be really popular.  

Or if you prefer your toys fresh from a crime scene rather than a Saturday morning cartoon marathon, then how about some blood spattered Walking Dead figures.  

    Or if your more into intergalactic gore, they also have the Alien and Predator figures covered in green blood!  This is just the tip of the iceberg and will most likely cause you to go broke by the end of summer trying to track them all down.

Custom Deadbeet Show at Toy Art Gallery Tonight!

    Cancel your necromancy club meeting for tonight!  But only if you live in Los Angeles or within driving distance, cause Toy Art Gallery has a custom show tonight featuring Scott Tolleson's Deadbeet figure.  A bazillion artists took this weird little dude and made him their own and you can see the results first hand and even buy one if you fancy it.  The opening reception is from 7-10 Pacific time and you never know who might be there hanging out with their work.  

New DC Comics Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko

    Funko has got to be tired of my shenanigans.  Every time they ask who they should make into Pop! Vinyl figures next my answer is always Harley Quinn.  Well, now I'm gonna have to think of someone else to harass them about because they're finally taking my advice.  This August you can add Ms. Quinn to your collection, along with Batman Beyond (which I'm also going to buy), Nightwing, and Darkseid.  Now if they would only release Sanford and Son figures.

Super Series Sunday from Tenacious Toys x alto x Creo Design

    Super Series Sundays are back!  I know, it's been awhile since I've told you about one of these, but fear not, Tenacious Toys was just working really hard to bring you one of the coolest releases yet.  Creo Design and alto made 10 of these Little Blue Ox figures exclusively for this release and you can only get one tomorrow, June 30th, from http://www.tenacioustoys.com/.

More SDCC Exclusives from DKE

    What's this?  A book?  I don't get to talk about my love for the printed page too much, but aside from collecting toys I do love to read.  And I really dig Mike Egan's paintings, so I would call this a win win.  DKE will have 100 copies of this book with a signed bookplate and hand embellished screen print.  All that for only $25!  That's a steal if you ask me.

    You wanna know what happens when you spray pesticide near Smurf Village?  Well, here are the results.  David Flores has made those little mushroom dweller 100% less lame by giving them the Deathhead makeover.  Only 50 of them were made in red and for $110, it will give your kids nightmares for years to come.  See, another great value.  

    If this is what's lurking in space then I'll be happy to stay with my feet firmly planted in New Jersey.  Killer Bootlegs is exposing what the government won't tell us with this crazy looking figure.  I can picture this guy riding around on top of the Mars Rover like a mechanical bull in between his rounds of interstellar terror.  I bet the Russians are behind this.  Only 25 were made and they'll be $100 each.  

Curiosity: Lava Edition from Nathan Hamill x Vinyl Riot Toys

    My union contract states that if I write about Nathan Hamill anymore this week he's gonna have to start contributing to my 401k.  Seriously, this dude has been going nuts with new releases.  His next one is actually going to drop tomorrow, June 29th, at noon Eastern from Vinyl Riot Toys.  The Curiosity: Lava Edition was sculpted by the folks at Pretty in Plastic, made by Oni Creations, and looks like delicious candy.  Check out the picture below to see all the different variations in color you could get:
