Matt A* x Suburban Vinyl Exclusive JA_M13 Figures



    I'm a very happily married man, but that doesn't mean that my ability to appreciate the female form was suddenly switched off the moment that ring was slipped on my finger.  You just have to do your appreciating from afar and with a bit more finesse.  Art for instance is the perfect way to satisfy a man's primal urge to stare at naked women without the shame of our car being parked in front of a strip club.  Not that I would ever be caught dead in such a place like that, because I have a germ problem and my OCD would dictate that my clothes were immediately burned.

    So I present to you the perfect opportunity to appreciate the female form while not being forced to sleep on the couch.  Matt Anderson created this JA_M13 sculpture as part of his solo show at Suburban Vinyl and they still have a few of them left for purchase.  Now let me tell you, after you buy it you better come up with some fancy way of explaining why you like it so much cause I will not be responsible for any missing teeth you may incur.  Fancy up you toy collection with some art son!

Game of Thrones Figures from Dark Horse



    In a perfect world, new episodes of Game of Thrones would air every night for the rest of my life.  We could cancel all of those fake "reality" shows and pool the resources to ensure that this show continues forever and at the aforementioned frequency.  I seriously am that into it that I can't imagine ever not wanting to watch it.  Ok, so it doesn't have to air every night, because I still need to watch Downton Abbey and Sons of Anarchy, but almost every night would work for me.  

    Dark Horse is going to start producing figures based on the show.   They're starting the collection out with Daenerys "I'm Usually Not Wearing This Many Clothes" Targaryen and Jon "I Know Nothing" Snow.  They don't come out until January, but you can click on the link to the right and preorder them now from Entertainment Earth to ensure you get them.  


Evil Within Reticulated Box by Carson Catlin x DeKorner



    This thing is pretty crazy.  What you're looking at is a laser cut acrylic box within a second laser cut acrylic box.  It's exactly like that picture I saw on the news the other day of these dudes fishing that caught a shark that was in the process of being eaten by another shark.  Check it out:


    Pretty nuts right?  Carson Catlin designed this box and made only 10 of them in this yellow colorway exclusively for DeKorner.  They go on sale today at 10am Pacific time at http://www.dekornerstore.com/.

Marvelous Death from Kris Dulfer



    Of course Death is a woman.  Do you know how many women have tried to kill me in my lifetime?  A lot.  The numbers would astound you.  And it's not as simple as using a gun or a knife nooooooooooooooooooooooo, they want to make my brain turn into a pile of mush and leak out of my ears.  That's why I don't sleep well.  My wife won't tell me why she's mad until at least two weeks after the offending act, so I live in a constant state of panic.  She could be plotting right now and I wouldn't know it.  

    Kris Dulfer has created 20 of these hand made resin figures and you can bring one home tomorrow for $65.  One lucky person will get a special one that is hand painted by Soko Cat.  Each one will also come with a 5 x 7 print featuring artwork from Brandon Vance.  All the other info you need is in the picture up there.  



Mezco Archive Sale Happening Tomorrow



    There's nothing better than digging through other people's stuff to find treasure.  I love going to flea markets and seeing piles of things to look through, so this is like a dream come true for me.  Mezco is cleaning out it's archives and offering up everything for sale.  This is stuff that collectors would fight to the death over.  Unpainted samples, figures that were never released; just piles and piles of utlra rare pieces.  And considering they make toys for Friday the 13th, Breaking Bad, Family Guy, The Watchmen, Hellboy, and many more that I'm forgetting, it will be easy to find something you can't live without.

    The sale is open to the public (ages 13 and up) tomorrow, Friday the 16th, from noon-5pm at 2109 Borden Ave. Long Island City, NY.  This is their headquarters and how many times have you been invited to a toy company's place of business before?  Not since that restraining order I bet.


The Brightfield Bunnies from Lunabee x Cris Rose Releasing Today



    Lunabee is another artist that Kidrobot needs to include in a Dunny series.  Just look at these figures that she made with Cris Rose.  They are continuing their Nemori narrative with the addition of The Brightfield Bunnies.  Each one is hand painted with custom heads on a Dunny body.  You can add one to your collection today for $80 + shipping when they drop at 18:00 London time.

Horror Classics Mystery Minis from Funko




    Only Funko could turn the film world's most frightening characters into something that is almost cute.  I would like to point out that they did forget about the scariest movie I've ever seen.  I don't blame them for missing it, because there really wasn't any blood or gore, but this film has psychologically damaged me from the moment I saw it:



    I'm pretty sure this movie has rendered me unable to have kids.  Who knew that teenagers were so horrific?  I would spend many nights at Camp Crystal Lake with Jason trying to murder me before I would be inclined to try and raise teenage girls.   They're scary.  



    Back to the task at hand.   You know you want them all.  They will be released August 15th in blind box form wherever you prefer to buy your toys.
