Kozik x Maqet at DesignerCon



    Kozik and Maqet are releasing a brand new batch of mini Heathrow the Headghogs for this weekend's DesignerCon.  They're only $20 each and come with the show's logo on their bellies so you never forget where you got it.  I hope Maqet will make a different version without the logo and put them up in their web store, cause I could use a few of these.  

Kidrobot x Urban Outfitters POP! Balloon Animals



   Hipsters need toys too, that's why Kidrobot has sent these to Urban Outfitters.  They're entitled POP! and they are 3 inches of plastic balloon critters.  Each one comes blind boxed and costs $7.95 and they are exclusive to UO, so you better put on an Arcade Fire record and pretend you knew about these before they were cool. 

Kiss Vinyl Invader from Funko


    Kiss may not ever go down in history for their great songwriting; hell, if it weren't for the makeup, fireworks, and unbelievable live show they probably would still be playing bars in New York.  A band that relies so much on the visual will always have cool merchandise and this may be their coolest figure ever.  Funko now presents to you the first in their Vinyl Invader series, Mr. Gene Simmons himself.  Modeled after the crazy Japanese robot toys that are so highly collectible today, "The Demon" stand 11 inches tall and will be available for sale starting January 1st.  It will retail for $40, but that's a lot of plastic for the money.  I think I need one.

Assassin's Creed Flying Machine


  Action figures are only as cool as the accessories they make to go with them.  The fine folks at N.E.C.A. evidently share this philosophy and are proving it by releasing Da Vinci's Flying Machine to go with their line of Assassin's Creed figures.  Now the figures are between 6 and 7 inches tall, so guess how big this crazy hang glider is:  2 FEET!!!  Are you serious?  That is disturbingly huge.  That is GI Joe Aircraft Carrier huge.  If you want one of these you have to preorder it from Gamestop right now for $39.99.  The release date will be the 15th of November and I'm sure they're not too many of these to be had.  

Holiday Yoda from Sideshow Collectibles



   Do you know who breaks into your house Christmas morning and leaves behind presents if you weren't a jerk the previous year?  If you said Santa Claus then you are dumb, cause the answer is obviously Yoda and here's the proof.  Sideshow Collectibles is giving you the chance to pay your respects to the real man behind Christmas miracles.  For only $74.99 you'll get this amazing 12 inch figure that is ready for a place of reverence in your home.  And he even comes with a bag full of stuff that he may or may not let you keep depending on how you act.  Don't push your luck with someone that can lift a spaceship out of a swamp just by thinking about it.  Click here now and start your path to redemption.

The Sucklord at DesignerCon



   The Sucklord is taking time out of his busy schedule to grace everyone with his presence at DesignerCon this weekend and he's got some new stuff to bilk the masses out of their cash.  Check out the Dumnys above and his latest Scrubs of the Universe character Carrator down below.  Wherever The Sucklord goes it is bound to be a spectacle, so if you do nothing else this weekend, go and be amazed by the master bootlegger himself.  And don't forget to watch him compete on Bravo's Work of Art tonight.
