Friends With You Mr. TTT Bop Bag

I remember having one of these when I was a kid and taking all of my hyperactivity out on it. I would punch it, jump on top of it, and try whatever new moves I had learned from the WWF on it. That is until one day the cat determined that it looked like the appropriate place to sharpen it's claws. Now you can relive the glory of my childhood thanks to Friends With You and The Loyal Subjects. The Mr. TTT Bop Bag is an inflatable toy with a smug look on it's faces that practically begs you to hurt it. Go ahead and punch it in the face, it won't care. It falls down, then comes right back to taunt you even more (I think I heard it call you a sissy, I'm just saying). Visit The Loyal Subject's web store and get one for yourself. Or two if you have cats.

All Suck, All the Time

I was excited to come home today and write about the Chop Suey Rejects just released from Sucklord, but they sold out before I had the chance. But then this happened, this gem of information appeared on my screen and made me forget the pain of getting to the first story too late. The one and only Sucklord will be appearing on the next season of Work Of Art on Bravo. The first season was painful and I felt really cast a negative light on the art world. But now that the Sucklord has become involved in season 2, how could this not be a good thing? I would have to imagine it is all an elaborate joke for him, which is exactly what the show deserves. Can the rogue toy maker bring home the cash to fund his Chinatown plastic factory? Will the spandex costumes and masks make an appearance? Only if there is any justice left in this world.

Voltaire x Toy2R Present Urkor Malravenus

Ever wonder what was lurking under the patchwork of Voltaire's Deady? Well, it looks a little something like a psychotic alien skeleton that is perpetually hungry. Meet Urkor Malravenus, the most evil creature in the galaxy and inhabitant of Deady. Only 500 of these Mini Qees were made and they are only available through HeroMart for $25. I'm not sure that I want that thing looking at me when I sleep, so I would have to lock it up every night before I go to bed. You can never be too careful.

Universal Monsters Series 2 from Diamond Select Toys

The fine folks at Diamond Select Toys will be unleashing Series 2 of their Universal Monsters line just in time for Halloween. Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Bride of Frankenstein will each stand 7" tall and be available exclusively at Toys R Us this October. I think all three of them would look quite nice riding atop my wife's My Little Pony Collection.

Joe Ledbetter Wrecks and Dazey Lava Edition

This was released today and is almost sold out on The Loyal Subject's website, so consider this a public service announcement to not wait any longer and get one before they're all gone. The Lava editions of any of Joe Ledbetter's toys are always the most sought after so get that credit card ready and order yours now!

The Cultyard at New York Comic Con

I wait all year for New York Comic Con, and I didn't think there was anyway that I could get more excited about it. Today, I was proven terribly wrong as the Cultyard added more guests to their already amazing guests from the world of designer vinyl toys. Andrew Bell, Ron English, Tara McPherson, and Erick Scarecrow have been confirmed for awhile and are staples of any good convention on the east coast. But this year attendees will get to meet artists that rarely make the trip to this side of the country for appearances. Angry Woebots, Marka27, Skinner, John Paul Kaiser, and Lamour Supreme will all be in New York to sign for and meet their fans. Get your tickets now because NYCC sells out every year and you don't want to miss the spectacle.

Harley Quinn Statue from DC Direct

I don't know what it is with me and high priced collectables lately. Maybe it's wishful thinking, or maybe it's just that everything that is really cool is becoming really expensive. Check out this 1:4 scale Harley Quinn statue from DC Direct. Ms. Quinn stand 16" tall and is and features her little hyena buddies with mouthfuls of bad news. Lots of hand painting a attention to detail make this figure really stand out and worthy of their "museum quality tag." It can be yours for $325, which really isn't that bad when you consider the amount of work that went into it and the size of the piece itself. Plus check out the costume, cause it is actually tailored. You won't see that quality of work on Project Runway.
