8 Inch Dunny from ilovedust x Kidrobot



    Kidrobot seems like they're going nuts with the new product releases.  Which, is not a bad thing, but I've sworn an oath of fiscal responsibility, so it makes it a bit tough to covet so much.  I Love Dust is the latest to design an 8 inch Dunny and what makes this guy a bit different from recent releases is that it is just a design on the standard Dunny form.  No sculpting on the form whatsoever, which in this case it really doesn't need.  The design is cool, kinda cute/kinda creepy, and the color choices really make it pop.  

    He'll be available September 26th for $75 from wherever you prefer to buy your toys.  




Back To School Cavey from A Little Stranger


    Remember when you were little and you were excited to go to school?  Yeah, me neither.  That ended for me the moment there were no longer nap times and toys to play with.  But now that I no longer have to go I get pretty excited about it because I live in an area that's big with tourists and that means they're going home.  No more out of state drivers who can't decipher the admittedly-stupid New Jersey road systems.  The boardwalks are nice and peaceful, the stores less crowded, and kids have something to do besides stand in the street and look at you like you did something wrong when you honk for them to move because you're not trying to damage your nice car or spend time in jail for vehicular homicide.

    Cavey is excited to go back to school cause he likes to learn.  And he's got a thing for that school cafeteria pizza.  Fifty of these little guys will be released today (Monday, September 9th) at 8pm London time and each comes with a Cavey cube and an enamel badge.

Usir/Cadaver Kid Mashup from Splurrt at FOE Gallery Tomorrow



    Is it wrong to think this guy is kinda cute?  Is this like some more modern Rorschach test that I've just completely failed and that will lead to my confinement in a mental hospital?  While I go nail my front door shut to keep the men in white coats out, you should plan on making a trip to FOE Store and Gallery tomorrow for the release of these Usir/Cadaver Kid mashups by Splurrt.  Aren't they just so huggable?  


Yellow Monster Embryos from Taylored Curiosities




    Is this guy lemon flavored?  He looks like he could be.  Lemon is one of the most superior flavors in the world.  Lemon is better than just about any other flavor you can name.  Beef is good too though, but I don't want to eat anything that looks like beef flavored candy cause that's kinda pushing it.  Beef mints?  Yuck.  That does remind me of this one time I went to Chik-fil-A and they were selling these Pez dispensers and I was kinda disappointed that the candy didn't taste like chicken.   Now that I think about it that was kind of a gross thing to be disappointed about, but I was caught up in the moment.

    Taylored Curiosities has just released these yellow Monster Embryos.  Don't lick em though, cause resin tastes like crap and may kill you.  It also may not, I'm no scientist.  To be safe you should probably just admire it from your shelf.

Dekorner Exclusive Red Resin Mao Bust from Frank Kozik




    Little known fact:  Chairman Mao invented Candy Crush.  Only someone like this fart muffin could have invented a game so cruel and addictive that it placates the masses and prevents an uprising.  Just think about it:  Each time you get mad about something your phone dings to let you know you have more lives and you commence playing and forgetting what you were mad about.  "Damn, I don't know how we're gonna pay our mortgage this month, oh look someone sent me another life on Facebook."  "I really feel oppressed working in this factory and not being able to meet my needs, oh it's Candy Crush time. "  Candy Crush is the bane of man, the preventative measure to ensure we can not better ourselves and evolve from being mere cogs in the great machine of the state.  I am currently up to level 105.

    Frank Kozik loves taking the horrible leaders of the past and putting an artistic spanking on them.  Bad horrible leaders, bad!  Either that or he feels Mao would have gone ape to ride Space Mountain.  This resin bust in brilliant red is an exclusive to DeKorner.  Fifty of them exist and you can be one of their lucky owners this Monday, September 9th, at 9am Pacific time.

8 Inch Quetzalcoatl Custom Dunny from The Beast Brothers



    Ahhhhh if only I was in charge of making toy decisions.  I'm not mind you, but it's not for a lack of trying.  I've got my fair share of opinions, sometimes negative, sometimes not.  Most of the negative opinions I never share because I feel it would be a waste of time for me to type about things that I think are dumb.  Believe me, it would take awhile.  What I like to instead do is focus on the stuff I really like and just let everyone else blow smoke up your butt about how awesome something is when we all know it sucks.  That being said, if I were in charge of making toy decisions this would be an actual production Dunny.  The colors, the sculpted pieces, everything is spot on.  You can't tell me people wouldn't go nuts to own one of these.  I would call you a lying liar whose pants are indeed on fire, cause this guy is sick.  

    The Beast Brothers aren't in the business of waiting around for someone else to realize how cool this would be, so they just made it themselves.  This is of course based on their 3 inch Dunny that was an actual production release, but this sucker should have been made huge from the get go.  Starting tomorrow, September 6th, you have 24 hours to order one of these.  However many are ordered are however many they shall make by hand.  And it even comes in a laser engraved box, which is pretty cool.  Order yours from http://www.thebeastbrothers.com/.

Scamwave from UME Toys



    Let us continue our journey into the world of famous characters given a nice artistic reboot.  UME Toys has released this Scamwave figure today based on everyone's favorite evil cassette player.  Anyone could paint an action figure a different color and call it a day, but this is what makes this unique.  It's all hand made and a completely unique vision.  Only 5 of this edition will be available and they will each come with a set of blueprints and a mini print.  You better get on it son.
