Breaking Bad Pink Teddy Bear Eye Keychain from Mezco

    Maybe I've been a little obsessed with Breaking Bad recently.  My wife and I powered through the entire series in two weeks and are now completely up to speed with the new episodes.  We added it up and we watched two days worth of television.  Two days!!!!!  It was worth it though as it is the greatest  show I've ever seen.  And it's proven helpful in real life too, as I remind my coworkers who piss me off that I could get a giant plastic barrel and a couple bottles of acid and fix any disagreement we may have.  Suddenly, I seem to be getting my way more and more.  

    I am more stoked about this keychain than any other keychain that's ever existed.  Even more so than that Spuds McKenzie one I begged my mom to buy me when I was little.  I didn't care that is said Bud Light on it, I just liked the dog.  

(This is the exact one I convinced her to get me that just went unsold on eBay.  For some reason I was not allowed to take it to school.)

    Mezco will have this pink teddy bear eye available at New York Comic Con in October.  If you can't go they do have a limited amount available to order through their website.  And it's only $7.47!!!!! I'm guessing the price is based on the Boeing 747s that crashed together and dropped this guy and other debris into Walter White's pool.  I told you I'm a bit obsessed.  

New Christmas Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    I have a confession to make.  It wasn't until last year that I had seen A Christmas Story from start to finish.  That doesn't mean I don't watch it every year when that one cable channel runs it for 24 hours straight, it's just that I always catch it half way through.  I'll watch it from wherever it happens to be until the end and then I'm good.  So I actually made the effort last season to watch it from the beginning and now I can cross that goal off my list.  

    Funko is making your Christmas decorations a lot cooler with these new Pop! Vinyl figures from A Christmas Story and A Nightmare Before Christmas.  You can even be lazy and leave them out year round and no one will call you on it, unlike those lights that you try to repurpose for every holiday.  I'm sorry, but President's Day does not need to be that festive.  All of these dudes are available now wherever you buy toys.  

Friday the 13th Tees and Toy Giveaway from Playful Gorilla

    Toy Viking fact of the day:  Friday the 13th is my favorite horror movie series.  It's got the right amount of camp (pun intended) and a really cool bad guy with series mommy issues.  What's not to like?  And he rids the world of annoying teenagers.  If Jason really wanted to do us a solid he'd bail on that run down camp site and hang out at the mall.  

    You see that custom toy up there?  I know you want it, cause I want it and I'm full of good ideas.  The only way you can get it is to order one or both of these tees from Playful Gorilla:

    My favorite one is the Bloody Hell version, but that's cause I'm a sociopath (I'm kidding...or am I?).  The 8 Bit Nightmare one is cool too though, as it and the figure are based on the classically-terrible NES game.  And you wanna talk about a range of sizes:  you can get these from onesies (for babies ya weirdo) all the way up to 5XL.  And you get a free sticker.  And the shirts are $20 each or both of them for $36 with free shipping in the US.  And each tee you buy gives you one entry to win the figure.  And they go on sale this Friday, which just happens to be the 13th.

M5 Bravo and Stee-Gar Unpainted Blanks from Jeff Lamm x Unbox Industries

    I know what you're thinking.  Mostly I know because I have your house bugged and listen to thousands of hours of very bizarre recordings for market research purposes.  Some of you are real sickos.  But I know there's at least one of you who has seen the awesome monster creations of Jeff Lamm and wished you could get them in My Little Pony colors, complete with little butt tattoos.  It's ok, no one's judging you (weirdo) and to help you along in that quest I present to you these unpainted M5 Bravo and Stee-Gar figures.  Well, Unbox Industries presents them to you, I'm just the messenger that makes your day a whole lot better.  Both of these guys will be available online later today at http://store.unboxindustries.info/ for you to paint like little talking horses or just leave as they are and admire in their raw form.  

Life-Size Stormtrooper Action Figure from Gentle Giant

    I know I say this a lot so maybe you don't think I mean it, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I WANT THIS!!!!!  Those crazy folks at Gentle Giant used some fancy space lasers to scan an original Star Wars Stormtrooper figure and reproduce it to be as tall as I am.  And it's articulated!!!!  Now, the only draw back is it's going to be much harder for me to play with in the sandbox and get dirt in his joints, but I'll eventually get over that.  To own one of these it will set you back $2,300, but I actually think that's kind of reasonable, especially since it ships for free in the continental US.  Expect my Kickstarter campaign to begin very soon, in which the only reward will be a picture of me with the Stormtrooper.  It will be like those feed the children things, where I'll send you a monthly email letting you know how he's doing.  I'll even let you vote on outfits that he can wear in the newsletter pics.  It's a win win.

Medicom Exclusive Devilman Ultrus Bog from Skinner x Lulubell Toy Bodega

     Oh snap son, your life is about to level up to 1000 or something.  I showed you this sucker way back in the day, like a few months ago, and you were all sad cause you don't live in Japan and it would cost you all the monies to get this guy from there to your house.  Well, get ready for this to be a great day for you (unless your day already sucks butt, then hopefully this will ease some of that pain) cause Lulubell Toy Bodega is making this guy available at a great price.  For a mere $90, you could be the proud owner of this Medicom exclusive Devilman Ultrus Bog by Skinner.  $90!!!!!!!!!!!!  When's the last time you saw an Ultrus Bog for $90?  Probably in the 1950's, when you saved up all your Bazooka Joe comics like a good little boy and mailed them away for one.  Your jaw still hurts from chewing all that gum.

    You have until September 28th to pull the trigger on this guy.  After that you will be sad and unattractive to anyone.

The Greatest Lego Set That You Can't Ever Have

    This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.  The fine folks at Citizen Brick take it upon themselves to make things that Lego wouldn't ever produce, such as these Breaking Bad inspired build sets.  They're long sold out, and caused a ton of people to be all butt hurt about how inappropriate they were for kids.  For one, if you're young kids are watching Breaking Bad to begin with there's more you need to worry about than toys.  And two, these suckers weren't cheap and I don't think eight year olds have jobs or credit cards, so the danger of them actually getting one is about as high as me buying the new Kanye West cd.  

    Maybe if enough of us beg and plead enough Lego will start a new division of their company that caters to the older collector.   They could make a Sons of Anarchy line, or Game of Thrones, or the Charlie Manson thrill kill playset.  The possibilities are endless.  Come on Lego, there's tons of us old folks that would go crazy for this stuff.  

    And for those of you that start your Christmas shopping early, I want this guy from the Citizen Brick website:
