Siamese Black Cherry from Lou Pimentel



    Lou Pimentel has created these little 3 inch cherries that are the victim of nature's cruel joke.  Like their kindred spirits Chang and Eng, these inseparable pals don't have the easiest of lives, but they have each other (isn't that precious?).  Lou will be unleashing these conjoined fruit on Black Friday, which for anyone that doesn't work retail and has already drawn a skull and crossbones on their calendars, is November 25th.  They will be $65 for each handmade piece and there are only 12 available.  You can also order his original set of red cherries for $50 as he makes those to order.  Click here to get yours.

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.

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.
