Super7 Black Friday Release and Sale



    This is how I look when I think about having to deal with holiday shoppers.  Everyone acts like they've lost whatever little sense they were born with and don't care what they have to do or who they have to destroy to get their kids something stupid that they'll lose interest in within the week.  But thanks to the beauty of the internet, I never have to leave my house again to buy gifts for those that I love (or mainly just me).  Check out this new Blackest Fridays Stomp from the fine folks at Super7.  This bad boy is $60 and worth every penny just for the fact that you don't have to go to the mall to get him.

   
    Super7 will also be running a pretty cool sale starting Black Friday and lasting the whole weekend.  I'm eyeballing a few things right now and just waiting to see what goes on sale before I make my move.   It's all about patience.  Unfortunately my lack of patience is really starting to hurt right now.    

K. Olin tribu Black Friday Sale




    K. Olin tribu make some of the most amazing toys you've ever seen.  That's because they take figures from the vinyl world and remake them in porcelain.  The results are stunning and it really transforms them into pure works of art that even the the biggest art snob can appreciate.  That being said, they are not cheap, but to celebrate Black Friday you can get 20% off one of these amazing pieces.  Check out some of their figures below and then get your credit card ready to do some shopping.

                                      

Kozik x Kidrobot Christmas Labbit Plush



    When I think of Christmas I think of rabbits with mustaches.  For a long time I was told I was "crazy", that I was "maladjusted".  Well now who's laughing (other than the therapists who made a lot of money off of me and my psychosis)?  Kozik and Kidrobot want you to snuggle up with this dapper bunny for the low low price of $15.95 this holiday season.  He's available now and unlike a real rabbit, he won't chew your electrical cords or drop little brown love nuggets all over the place.

The Qeemas Contest from Toy2R


 
    The holidays are a great time to spend with those that we love and spread good cheer throughout the land.  Ok, realistically they're about getting awesome stuff and not having to pay for it.  Toy2R understands this and wants to feed your greed with The Qeemas Contest.  There are 4 bundles of toys each worth $500 and all you have to do is get creative and take a few pictures of your toys.  Click here for all the rules and other details you may need and get to winnin some free stuff.

Jon-Paul Kaiser x Toy2R Capt. Sturnbrau Qee



    We've seen this figure before but never with so much detail.  Jon-Paul Kaiser's instantly recognizable style is all over this version of Captain Sturnbrau and it really brings the character to life.  No word on when he will be released or how much he'll cost, but I'll let you know as soon as I hear.  He makes Johnny Depp look like a wussy.  Well, a bigger wussy I suppose.

Celebrate 10 years of Halo and Minimates



   Halo turned 10 years old this year and Minimates turns 10 next year, so what do you do?  You combine them and create toys ya big dummy (I'm just kidding, I'm sure that was your first guess).  In January you will be able to pick up the figures above at all Toys R Us locations.  The one's below will be available in a special box set for comic shops and other independent retailers.  You should really stop looking at Cortana that way.  We all know she's the hottest hologram in the galaxy, but don't be too creepy about it.  



Mars Attacks Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    I don't think the people that work at Funko believe in vacation time, or paid holidays.  There s no way they can make as many toys as they do with anyone taking a break.  They may never see their families, and may be so pale from a lack of sunlight that their skin now resembles that of a transparent cave worm, but their labor bears great fruit.  For example, check out this Mars Attacks Pop! vinyl figure.  He doesn't come out until January, but that gives you some time to find someone to buy it for you.
