Heathrow the Hedgehog Blind Box Series from Frank Kozik

    Hedgehogs are freakin adorable.  In fact, they are one of those flawless creatures that make the world a better place.  I'm pretty sure they don't even carry diseases, as their cuteness has, like, anti-bacterial properties or something.  And sure they're kinda pokey, but just "hey it would be really chill if you don't try and swallow me" pokey and not "I have these terrifying spines filled with poison that will slowly melt the flesh from your bones" pokey.  If I didn't already have a house filled with cats I wouldn't mind having a pack of hedgehogs running around.

    Frank Kozik has captured the cuteness of these critters in his Heathrow character, which is now available as a blind box series.  As we speak, or type, or whatever, your favorite toy stores should have these little 3 inch vinyl dudes ready for you to collect.  Why don't you pay them a visitand become obsessed with something new?  Do it, do it.  

Vikings Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko

    Ahhh the Viking age; where men proved their worth by raiding villages for their treasures and enslaving the women and children.  Now a man's worth is judged by the amount of arguments he can win on the internet from the comfort of his mother's basement.  The times have watered down manhood from the glory one once felt in battle to the passive aggressive wins we clamor for in the safety of cubicles.  I say ENOUGH with the skinny jeans and the depressed pictures on Facebook.  Go outside, get a facial scar, and curse out the cable company for having the audacity to drop your internet connection during Wrestlemania.  I'm still mad about that.

    I loooooooooove Vikings.  It's one of my favorite all time tv shows, though how no one has contacted me to make a guest appearance I'll never know.  The great thing about the show is that while it may take liberties to make the stories more compelling, many of the people did actually exist as did some of the events that take place.  The raids on England did in fact set up the first Danish settlement in that country, of which I am told my ancestors were a part of.  It was hand written in an old Bible my grandfather had kept that detailed his family's lineage.  And you thought my website name was just cute.  

    Needless to say, I want every one of these.  Funko will be releasing these in May and you have until then to hide anything of value, lest they decide to take it for themselves.

A Literal Pile of New Releases from Kidrobot

    Kidrobot has gone all rogue on us by unleashing new releases under the cover of darkness.  I like to think I'm a man that knows a thing or too about toys and I didn't even know a new Labbit series was coming, yet alone the fact that they're already on sale.  The "Personal Happiness" Labbits aren't concerned with what society thinks they should be doing; they're following their own dreams like Laverne and Shirley (look it up young folk).  Unfortunately, my dreams mostly consist of things with which there are laws against, like punching people in the face, but thankfully these guys don't seem to have such a propensity to violence as I do.  

    

    It's a good thing this 3 inch version of Homer Buddha was released, because I need something to remind me to channel my anger in a more positive direction than someone else's jaw line.  I could glue him to my dashboard for serenity during New Jersey traffic, or leave him in the mail box to counter act those bills that seem to show up like clockwork every month.  Teach me your ways, Homer Buddha, as I fear enlightenment is slowly slipping from my grasp.  

    Oh, you know I love me some Dunnys.  As of last count I have 251 different 3 inch ones, which is not nearly all of them, but is still a whole heck of a lot.  These 3 are commemorating the very first Dunnys that were released 10-ish years ago.  They were not made in equal amounts, so they won't be easy to get all of unless you pull the trigger now.  Why live with regret, when you can live with toys?  

    All of these are available now from wherever you like to buy toys, and should be up on Kidrobot's website today. 

"It's Spring" Marshall from 64 Colors x Rotofugi x Squibbles Ink

    Man, let me tell you something.  There I was, watching Wrestlemania on Sunday, when suddenly my internet connection goes down.  Can you believe that nonsense?  I reset the router, reset my Playstation 3, almost drop kicked my neighbor just because (I see her eyeballin me with her judging eyes), but nothing worked.  About an hour later it finally came back up which meant I didn't get nearly the amount of sleep I normally would have because I had to stay up and watch it or the internet would have completely spoiled the results.  The point is I'm still tired, but Wrestlemania will always be worth it.  The end.

    My wife always makes fun of me when I'm over tired because I look all spaced out like something's on my mind.  There was some commercial for ADHD medicine that showed some lady thinking about the Easter bunny during some work meeting and since then she thinks that's what's on my mind.  Yeah, maybe I do think about bunnies more than most grown men, but that's not for me to say and I doubt there's been a reputable study done on it.

    Look, more bunnies for me to contemplate!  It's the already adorable Marshall from 64 Colors upping his level of cuteness dressed as a rabbit.  Produced by Squibbles Ink and Rotofugi, these dudes are limited to just 350 pieces and will be available beginning tomorrow, April 1st, for $12.95 each.  Get yours at 10:59am eastern time at www.rotofugi.com.

New "Bloodwipe" SnotBlower from Pushead x Medicom Toys

    When an edition of a toy is named "Bloodwipe" the jokes pretty much write themselves.  Thankfully I have chosen to spare you of any stories about eating at Golden Corral in Delaware and then getting trapped in traffic after a Nascar race let out.  Just so you know ladies, the pain of giving birth is no longer an experience you alone share.

    Pushead is getting ready to drop the latest versio on his Snotblower figure that he made in conjunction with Medicom, and if you live in the United States the best way to get one is from Toy Tokyo, either in store or online.   For the rest of the world, check out http://www.medicomtoy.co.jp/ to get your hands on one.
