New Toy Thursday from Super7



     This is Steven the Bat.  This color scheme is known as the Twilight Skies.  This has nothing to do with another thing called Twilight that is dumb and will rot your brain cells with its stupidity.  Steven the Bat is a collaboration between Bwana Spoons and Super7 that you can add to your collection today at noon Pacific time for $35.  You should probably do it, because it sounds like this figure may be hitting the retirement home after this release.  

Star Wars Weekends at Disney Exclusive Merch

   
     From May 18th - June 10 Walt Disney World will be holding it's annual Star Wars Weekend Celebrations and if there's anything both Disney and Star Wars are pros at, it's merchandising.  These are a few of the items that will be available at the park (and I'm sure eBay soon after).  While they aren't showing us any figures yet, there will most likely be some toy tie ins as well.  But for now, you'll just have to check this stuff out and then wait until more of their exclusives are announced.






Frank Kozik on Facebook



    If you don't follow Frank Kozik on Facebook then you are missing out on the plethora of information this man has to share with the world.  You'll learn about cars, music, cats and all sorts of other things that you can use throughout your daily life.  What you'll also find out about are toys.  Look at this Kim Jong Il/Elvis mash up.  It's a shame North Korea hates us so much, cause this would have made an excellent head stone for the deceased dictator.




    Next we have this amazingly intricate Mecha Labbit.  evidently the reason why we have never seen this produced before is that everyone is whining about how expensive it would be to make.  Less excuses, more Mecha Labbit building.

 
     Finally, we have this Qee design called "The Nervous Cosmonaut". We've seen a different incarnation of this released before that was extremely limited and only available at a few locations.  Does this mean there will soon be a release for us poor folks who were unable to get the first one? Only Frank Kozik has the answer to this and many more of our most burning questions.  You should subscribe to him on Facebook before you miss out and feel dumb.

Zombuddiez Koki Plush from Ohiya



    Ohiya had this guy on display at New York Comic Con last year and everyone was trying to buy one.  Then he was only in the prototype phase, but now this Zombuddiez Koki plush can finally be yours.  He's 10 inches tall and is only $19.95, which is cheaper than most stuffed animals you'll find in any store, let alone ones of undead kittens.  Add this guy to your collection right now by clicking here.



New Yummy Plush from Heidi Kenney x Kidrobot




    I have a problem and it all centers around dessert.  I'm not really a big food guy, though I enjoy watching Top Chef and The Food Network, it's just that food doesn't do it for me in person.  Except for desserts.  I could eat cake for every meal.  Donuts?  Yeah, I'll take a dozen.  When my wife and I went to Montreal for our honeymoon we ate a total of two dozen Tim Hortons maple glazed donuts in five days.  Not even kidding.  That was our breakfast every morning and a nice snack before bed.  I'm surprised we didn't become diabetic from that trip.  If only Tim Hortons would FedEx me some of those delicious donuts I could try a lot harder to have an issue with my blood sugar.

    Enough about my neurosis, now it's time for plushies.  Kidrobot and Heidi Kenney have created more of those inedible stuffed animals we all love so much.  This go round you can choose from a black and white cookie, blueberry pie, 2 different donuts, and a lemon or lime.  Each toy is 12 inches of goodness and will retail for $24.95.  These can be yours on March 8th.

Mr. Freeze and Killer Croc from DC Direct


    Arkham City, I just can't quit you!   I've gotten almost every Riddler Trophy, beat the story mode, and when I think I can move on with my life this happens.  It's the new Mr. Freeze and Killer Croc figures from the game.  Gasp!

   I first saw these at New York Comic Con and I was pretty impressed by the size of them.  Mr. Freeze stand at just over 7 inches tall and his reptile bro tops out at 9 and 1/2 inches.  It doesn't sound big but when you see them next to the regular figures you'll realize how impressive they are.  Both of these guys will be available June 6th.



Exclusive Toys Available Now at Kidrobot


   Kidrobot has some cool, exclusive versions of a few toys that you should know about.

    First up, The Beast Brothers have created this blue and grey version of their Calaverita Skull.  There are only 50 of these hand painted, fiberglass sculptures and they are $100 each.
    What's this?  A new Frankenmonkey?  Created by Atomic Monkey, this orange and black primate has only 300 brothers and sisters and costs $45.  This is one of the first every toys I bought from the Kidrobot store in New York, so this new version is very tempting for me.  Maybe I'll have to add a third one to my collection.
