Tiffani Warhol from Erick Scarecrow


    Erick Scarecrow is the James Brown of designer toys.  He is the hardest working man in the game and just when you think he doesn't have something new coming out you are forced to wonder why you are so dumb.  Dropping this Friday and limited to only 20 pieces is this gem named Tiffani Warhol.  She is hand painted, hand signed, and hand cast in resin.  You can get one one Friday at 9am by clicking here.  

DC Universe All Stars in 2012



    The nice folks at Mattycollector.com decided to post a preview of the new DC Universe All-Stars line that will be released in 2012.  Start figuring out ways to sell the Christmas presents you don't want so you can buy these.  The orange guy above is named Larfleeze, which sounds like something you could contract from a beach in New Jersey.


    Flashpoint Plastic Man.  Looks like someone you would meet in a club at the beach in New Jersey.



    Superboy Prime.  Plastic Man's wing dude.  Always falling on those grenades so Plastic Man can succeed in his mission.


 
 And finally Batman Beyond.  There is absolutely nothing funny, nor Jersey related about Batman.  Accept that they are filming scenes for the next Dark Night film in Newark.  I guess they figure if you go where it's already crime infested you don't have to pay union wages for bad guys.

Marvel vs. Capcom Minimates Out Now!



    Diamond Select Toys has released the first wave of Marvel vs. Capcom Minimates in all Toys R Us stores today.  Two figures come in a pack and there are some pretty cool ones, such as Dante from Devil May Cry and Deadpool.  There will be a lot more to come so you will be able to complete the set eventually.  I'll leave you now to go and amend your Christmas list.

Love White Bear Qee from Toy2R



    Just in time for winter, Toy2R announces this 8 inch snow covered Qee.  If you want to get one you need to go to your favorite toy store now and make sure they order it or you may miss out.  And no, there isn't a yellow chase version available you weirdos.  You'd have to make that yourself.

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.
