Two New Exclusives from 3DRetro Available Now

    The documentary Planet of the Apes has given us all insight into what our future holds.  Not only is it the first documentary to showcase events that have yet to happen, it's the first ever one that was brought to us courtesy of our eventual understanding of time travel.  We made some crazy advancements in technology before the monkeys took over.  That hoverboard from Back to the Future?  Yeah, we finally figured that one out too.  So we know the monkeys are gonna break out of the labs and enslave us all, so why not be prepared by putting this guy on your mantel.  That way, when they break into your house to send you to the salt mines they'll see that you were a loyal monkey revolution supporter and may choose to not throw poop at you.  SSUR designed these and this army green version is an exclusive to 3DRetro.  Get one now, and avoid getting pink eye from a flying turd to the face.

    The Octopup Revolt, as we all know, was squashed by a malnourished flock of seagulls.  Their little march onto the beach was adorable, but little did they know of the horrors that circled above their little heads.  Pity, as they would have made better leaders than those damn dirty apes.  Nathan Hamill brought some of these back to Singapore just for you, where they were an exclusive at a huge show that you couldn't go to.  Well fret not, because now you can complete your Octopup collection!!!!  All is now right in the world.  Till the monkeys get loose of course, but you knew that.

40% Off Sale from DuBose Art

    It's hard to believe that DuBose Art has only been making toys for a year, cause they have packed in a lot of stuff in that time period.  I mean a lot.  So much so in fact, that they need to clear some space.  So to celebrate their anniversary they're taking 40% off of all orders.  That's a pretty big deal.  You can get in on this only until October 1st, which is 10 days away.  Use the coupon code "whatayear" at checkout and save yourself a fat stack of cash while getting some killer custom toys.

R2-Q5 NYCC Exclusive from Kotobukiya

    Every family has that one person who was just born bad.  Most of the time that just involves someone making dumb choices that result in the police coming by every once in awhile.  Rarely does that involve trying to help the Galactic Empire defeat the Rebel Alliance and bring a reign of terror over the entire galaxy.

    R2-D2 will have to think twice about inviting his evil cousin R2-Q5 to Thanksgiving, cause he'll probably steal.  This droid is an exclusive release from Kotobukiya for New York Comic Con, though their will be some available for preorder through their website.  The ones bought at the con will come with this gold plated medallion as an extra special bonus.  Check em out at booth #1654.

NYCC Exclusive Pop! Vinyls from Funko x Fugitive Toys

    You know what's great about Pop! Vinyls?  I never feel guilty about buying them.  They're like those fun size candy bars that you keep eating cause they're small and before you know it you ate the whole bag.  Every time I see one of these guys that I want I just buy it because the price is always good and you never feel like you could have used your money for something better, like your electric bill.  

    Fugitive Toys will have three exclusives from Funko's ever popular line of figures for this year's New York Comic Con.  There will be a metallic Batman Beyond (which I need, a New 52 Nightwing, and that same Nightwing only in a metallic version.  Buy one, buy them all!  No need to hold back, because they're more affordable than buying a hot dog in the Javitts Center. 

Metal Mockbats and Anniversary Edition Luftkaisers from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery

    You wanna know what is frightening?  A House Centipede.  For those of you who were ignorant to their existence as I once was, this is what they look like:

    Our cat Icarus found on of these in the basement the other day and went nuts.  I had never seen one before and was pretty sure that this thing would crawl into my ear and eat my brain.  Turns out they don't do that, but I wasn't willing to take that chance.  So I caught him in a shoe box, took him outside, and put him on our neighbor's porch with the hopes that he would then go in his house and lay eggs in his skull.  That's what he gets for making it seem like someone is having an exorcism every time his really dumpy girlfriend spends the night.  

    Back to business.  I have no idea why I told you that story, except that if I were to go into the basement and see something flying around that looked like Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser, I would be equally as worried.  He's not down there waiting for a a stray spider to cross his path, he wants the sweet meat. This is the Anniversary Edition made to celebrate Toy Art Gallery's fourth year in existence.  And they're only $45.  It's their birthday and we get the presents?  These are the best kind of friends to have.

    They're also debuting these new metal Mockbats from Paul Kaiju.  They have magnets in their joints so you can pose em however you want and their stomach flips down to show you their guts/make it easier for c-sections.  They come in three different colors and each one retails for $135.  All that you see here (except for the house centipede) will be available for sale tomorrow, Friday September 20th, at noon Pacific time.

Jedi Ghost Edition Heathrow from Frank Kozik x Urban Vinyl Daily

    You wanna know what was especially crap about George Lucas tweaking the original Star Wars movies?  Trust me, a lot was crap, but I thought it was really really sucky that when Anakin dies he gets to live as a ghost as a young dude, while Obi-Wan gets to chill in the afterlife as a senior citizen.  Anakin was old as dirt when he died and he was a pretty crappy person in life, while Obi-Wan was Mother Theresa with a lightsaber.  Talk about getting the shaft on that one.  

    Frank Kozik and Urban Vinyl Daily are releasing this Jedi Ghost resin edition Heathrow today at noon Eastern time.  And they glow in the dark.  That's pretty cool right?  Thirty five bucks will get you one at http://urbanvinyldaily.storenvy.com/.

myplasticheart: First Exclusives for NYCC Revealed

    Thank God people are starting to release exclusive info for New York Comic Con.  I like to develop a game plan early on to determine the things I have to have and the longer I have to desire it, the more likely I am to take extreme measures to ensure I get it.  Will I push a kid out of the way?  Maybe.  Hey, what's the point of being bigger than them if you can't knock em over.  Ok, I wouldn't really do that...unless no one was looking, cause who's gonna believe some kid over me?  

    myplasticheart always have a ton of exclusive offerings every year and these are but the first two that they've allowed us to see.  The first is this Sideways bro from Yoskay Yamamoto x Mighty Jaxx.  They're really turning the idea of the designer toy on it's head (see, this is why Abraham Lincoln called me, and I quote, "The comic genius of our time".  It's on Wikipedia, so it must be true.)  He looks pretty calm and collected for not being able to pick his head up off the ground.  Only 100 pieces were mae and it will be $85 throughout the convention.

    This next guy from Dave Bondi is looking all sorts of familiar.  It's like a couple of well known characters met on Match.Com, had a nice evening out, things got crazy, and nine months later this is the permanent reminder of their first date.  Fifty of these were made and they will cost $65 each.  Both artists will also be in attendance sometime during the con to sign your figures/give you high fives.
