Jason Limon x Kidrobot 8 Inch Dunny

    Ok, let me calm my nerves for just a second, cause this might be one of the most amazing Dunny figures I've ever seen.  This beautiful piece of plastic is the work of artist Jason Limon.  I'd like to think I'd have something clever to say about this, but I think the pictures speak for themselves.  This will be available for $70 on April 26th from the folks at Kidrobot.  Only 1000 were made and I can guarantee you they won't last through the day.  

Huck Gee x The Beast Brothers Skullendario Royal Guard

    You know what time it is? It's time to spend all that tax money you just got back from the government. Forget buying your kids a new bike, or fixing that leaking roof. Those things are for suckers, and you my friend, are no sucker. Instead, buy this beautiful work of art from Huck Gee and The Beast Brothers. This Royal Guard figure is the second in their Skullendario collaborative series, which blends the best of their talents into a disturbing typhoon of awesome. This swanky toy is hand made, detailed with real Swarovski crystals, and comes packaged in a laser engraved wooden box. Just like last time, this guy will go one sale for a 24 hour period for $475 and they will only make the amount that is ordered. If you want to get one your window opens April 20th at 1pm. Don't be a wussy, just get one and apologize to your landlord later for that lack of rent payment. He'll understand.

Harley Quinn Kotobukiya Figure Update

    I showed you the drawing that was the inspiration for this toy and now you can see what these wizards of plastic have crafted from that very picture. Kotobukiya have added Harley Quinn to their amazing lineup of Boshoujo statues. Ms. Quinn stands 10 inches tall and will be available in September. Just in time for Christmas. For me.

Maqet x Volkswagen Want Your Design Skills

    That video is pretty amazing huh? That my friends is the technology of 3D printing at work, a technology that the folks at Maqet have down pat. They make pretty awesome toys using methods similar to what you've seen above and now they've teamed up with Volkswagen to give you the chance to design a new VW Polo. You can go right now to http://thepoloprinciple.com/index_eng.php and design your own car. Forty of the best designs will then be printed using that wizard magic in the video and they will be shown in Copenhagen in May. And if you're one of the forty lucky folks, you also get to keep your little car after the show. One really lucky person will have their design plastered on the side of a real VW Polo and get to drive it around during the summer. Get to work.

April Preorders from Gentle Giant

    Ooooooooooooooh. These are some of the new thingys that Gentle Giant have made available for us to preorder in April. My favorite is this killer Death Trooper statue. As you can see he's got a touch of that zombie bug that's going around, which normally I'd say I'm sick of, but since it involves Star Wars, I'll let it slide. Plus it's cool. And $225.

    You remember what you used to always say when you were little? "Boy, I sure do wish they'd make a big ole Snaggletooth figure for me to play with". Well consider all of your prayers answered because here he is in all his awkward glory. For $70 he can loom large over your toy collection and creep out your mother.

    Continuing with the space theme I have found myself to be obsessed with, it's a Mars Attacks Christmas ornament. Once the aliens do land the first thing on their agenda is to steal all of your nicest things, so if you have their likeness hanging on your tree, they just might spare the socks your Aunt Linda got you. For three years in a row. Ridiculous woman.

DC Begins New 52 Figure Ads

    All you come c book readers have probably already seen this as DC Comics has been placing their ads for the New 52 figure line in its recent releases. All of the toys have that new, modern design that was part of the DC relaunches. Overall I like the looks of the figures, but Wonder Woman is a little intimidating. I mean look at those arms! She looks like she hangs out at biker bars and arm wrestles ex convicts for pocket money. That's a scary woman. Kudos to Aquaman for looking a bit tougher than we're used to, though he still could be a Sears underwear model. But one that could maybe defend himself from your taunts if he was with a school of obedient fish buddies. Maybe.

Kidrobot Exclusive Black Gipper Bust from Kozik

    So we're finally getting to see the color way of Kozik's Gipper Bust that will be exclusive to Kidrobot. This all black Darth Reagan is the most unnerving of them all.  It's like he's been sculpted out of pure evil, or oil.  Yeah, it's probably oil.  There are only 50 blackest of the black versions available and guess what?  Kidrobot is sold out of them online.  So if you live near one of their stores you better go and see what they have left.  Or head over to eBay and pay somebody who bought the toy just to resell it and be a complete jerk to collectors.  Not that I'm angry about that sort of thing or that I have threatened to stab people for cutting in front of me in line at events, who then proceeded to discuss how much money they were going to make off of selling whatever I was waiting patiently for.  Those people are called "flippers" and it is because all of their children will be born with flippers like a dolphin rather than arms and legs, a quite fitting punishment for their crimes against decency.  Look it up.
