The Avengers Minimates This Spring



    This is the big one.  No other movie has packed as many super heroes into it as The Avengers will this summer, so you know they have to make a ton of products to go along with it.  Diamond Select Toys will be making these Minimates available this spring so you can have something to do while you wait for the movie to come out.  All of the figures you see here will be available at your local Toys R Us and www.toysrus.com.  There will also be other villains available that that they still have to keep secret because they're a big surprise in the film.  I'm sure somebody will let it slip between now and then.  Don't worry, if I find out I'll yell "spoiler alert" before I post anything.



New Figure from Tokidoki



    Check out this sneak peak at the brand new Cactus Bunny figure from Tokidoki.  Pretty much what you see is all I know about this little guy, but I would imagine that he will be out probably by the end of the year.  I'll let you know more when I find out.

Insane Deals on Kidrobot Stuff at PLNDR



   
















 
  I just got this email a few minutes ago so I wanted to rush and share it with you before this sale was over.  For 3 days over at PLNDR.com they are having an insane sale on Kidrobot merch.  Everything from t-shirts, to hoodies, and of course toys.  These are a few of the things they have available, but believe me, there is a ton for both guys and girls.   Head over to PLNDR.com, sign up to become a member of their site, and then spend all the money you'll be getting in your tax return!  Actually, you won't send it all because the sale is that good!

Erick Scarecrow x Monster Kolor Wet Suit Maria

 
     Erick Scarecrow will be releasing an extremely limited edition Wet Suit Maria figure this week that he tricked out with Monster Kolor paint.  There will only be 7 pieces available and each comes with a limited edition print.  Follow Erick on Twitter by clicking here to find out when this will be released and how to get yours. 

I Wish These Were Real Star Wars Figures



    Oh snap.  Check out these crispy critters.  Everyone's favorite surrogate parents are now immortalized in the way we all remember them from Star Wars Episode 4.  This picture comes from the hilarious Facebook page of one Mr. George Takei.  My wife had been following him for the longest time before persuading me to and thus changing my life for the better.  Unfortunately, these limited BBQ editions are not real, but that doesn't make me not want them.  Finally, my moisture farm diorama could be complete!  So close, yet so far away.

Walking Dead Minimates Coming Soon



     The Walking Dead just started the second half of it's second season last night and check out what I have to show you to celebrate.  Diamond Select Toys will be making Walking Dead Minimates!!  Check out the first mock ups of Sheriff Rick Grimes and his little undead buddy!  These will be available in the fall, so now you have something to look forward to this year.  Unless you already had stuff to look forward to, in which case you are now overloaded with anticipation and should probably go and take a nap.  

64 Colors x Kidrobot 8 Inch Dunny


    It's a rare event when I use the word "beautiful" to describe a toy.  Sure I've used words like "awesome", or "disturbing" to accentuate how I feel about a certain object, so I hope you enjoy this rare occasion.
   This Supermagical Dunny was created by the brilliant minds of 64 Colors and Kidrobot.  You may know them for their smaller Dunnys that appeared in last year's blind box series or from the plethora of other projects they involve themselves with.  This is by far the coolest thing I've ever seen from them.  I love how the design of the tree extends into a sculpted ear, and honestly, I love everything about it.  If you are as smitten with this hunk of plastic as I am, you better get yourself geared up because it releases February 23rd for $75.  There are 1,200 of them out there, so it will probably take awhile for them to sell out.  I'm not one to wait though and will have to own it the moment it's released.
