Sucklord x Work of Art Judges

     The Work of Art season finale aired last night, and while I was happy that Kymia won, I was sad that Sucklord was only there as a spectator.  But let's be real, he's creative enough to get more out of the show than anyone else involved and this is the proof of that.  Having already captured his own likeness and that of Bravo executive Andy Cohen, Sucklord has now moved on to the very judges responsible for sending him home from the show.  First up is Jerry Saltz, who really is an easy guy to dislike.  I would have to think he falls into the super-villain category, mainly because he's bald (like Lex Luthor) and he wears a suit.  Oh, and he told Sucklord to drop the Star Wars references, which is akin to nerd blasphemy.  Need further proof of his marriage to the dark side?  He also comes in a glow-in-the-dark version:

    He probably got whatever power it is that makes you glow when he made his deal with Satan.  Just sayin.

    You can also get Mr. Saltz in the three pack of people from the show that also includes the always bizarrely attired China Chow and the greatest Swiss man alive Simone DePury.  Simone went on a rant about becoming slaves to chickens last night which really should have inspired Young's art show.  Maybe we can get some chicken slave figures from Suckadelic?  On a side not, China Chow is wearing the spray painted dress that was a definite homage to Alexander McQueen (and you thought I only knew about toys) and also the dress that she wore when Sucklord was eliminated from the show.  What does it all mean?  Probably nothing, I just wanted to show you how much I actually pay attention to all of the television I watch, which could be interpreted as a sad thing.

Marvel Minimates Classics Available this Spring

    Minimates have been around for quite some time now.  There are about 5 billion of them, giver or take, so if you're just getting into them yo may have missed some awesome figures that you desperately want.  Well this Spring you can kick it old school (whatever that means) by picking up these Marvel Classics figures.  They're like a best of compilation of the most essential toys that may be missing from your hoarde.  Hit up your local comic shop or favorite on line retailer and make sure they're getting these.  If you miss them twice, someone may call you dumb.  Not me though.  I like you.

Carbon Fiber 400% Bearbrick

    You see that Bearbrick there?  It's kinda big, really expensive, and it's not made of plastic.  It's made of carbon fiber!  Ok, I'll admit, I had to take a little refresher course on what exactly carbon fiber was and why I should be excited about it.  Basically it's the same stuff they use to make tennis rackets, parts of car bodies, and tons of other sports related things like fishing rods.  It's flexible, lightweight, and strong.  But it won't stop a bullet, which really disappointed me.  That material is called Kevlar and I now demand that they make a toy out of it so I can take to the gun range and try to blow a hole in.  So Medicom, if you're reading this, your new mission has just been handed to you.  Bullet proof a toy and let me shoot it.  With a gun.  While I video tape it.  

Super7 x Lego????

    So I didn't even know that I had this dream, but evidently it is one step closer to being a very real reality, possibly.  This picture was found on Super7's blog and depicts some of their iconic characters standing behind Lego representations of themselves.  This is something they have been working on with a friend of theirs from Lego and it is, needless to say, amazing.  I love Super7 and I love Lego probably more than I should, so to see the two combined gave me a toy induced seizure.  Once I recovered I looked at more pics of this collaboration, including this one of what they "might" look like all packaged together.

    This is all the info they would divulge on the subject, but then said that 2012 should be an interesting year.  Go ahead and bill me now.

Hospitalized for the Holidays? Let I Heart Guts Help

    I was in the hospital not too long ago and it sucks.  No matter if your gonna make it or not it is often the worst experience of your life.  The folks at I Heart Guts know that being bed ridden is a drag, especially for Christmas, so they've decided to make things a little better for one lucky person.  Just head over to their Facebook page here and tell them why someone you know deserves a $100 worth of plush guts to make their hospital stay a little better this holiday season.  Replace that bad heart with a cuddly one, or get a stomach that can digest all those milk products you've missed out on (curse you lactose).  The contest ends tonight (December 20th) so go and do it right now. 

Alice: Madness Returns Figures

    Diamond Select Toys have announced that they will be releasing figures from the Alice: Madness Returns video game in the Summer of 2012.  While I found the game to be rather underwhelming (thought the cut scenes were some of the best I've ever seen) I have always enjoyed this reinterpretation of the classic literary tale.  The book screams of something more sinister than what is being presented to you and I think these figures really capture that unease most of us have felt about it.  And check out the "variant" Hysteria Alice.  She looks like she could be in a Victorian themed black metal band, which is not at all a bad thing.  This one will be available through Previews Magazine, so if you want one check out your local comic shop and get them to order it.
