Happy Mini Labbits from Kozik x Kidrobot


    What's going on here? Has Kozik's adorable troop of bunnies given up their nicotine-fueled addictions? It sure seems that was in his new Happy Labbits Mini Series from Kidrobot. A few of them even seem to be concerned about the quality of the air around them, donning gas masks as they make their way through rabbit life. Others have taken up a liking for ice cream, carrots, soda, and 70's style mustaches that would be the envy of most hockey players. This assortment will be available June 7th in blind boxed form for $4.95 each.

Axeface Resin Figures from Monstrehero


  If you were riding the subway and these guys happened to step onto the train with you, it would probably be in your best interest to get off at the next stop.  They don't look like they can be reasoned with and you'll be lucky if all they do is steal your wallet.  These are Axefaces and were created by Monstrehero to pillage your village.  I really like that red and black one on the right, as he really embodies how evil these guys look.  According to their website, these may or may not be available this weekend, so keep your eyes on http://www.monstrehero.com/ and get ready to snag one of these colorful marauders.  

Custom Toy of The Week: Alison Perez and Zukie



    Can you ever have enough toys for artists to showcase their creative abilities on?  I don't think so and neither does Alison Perez who has just released her new DIY platform toy Zukie.  She's been making these guys by hand forever and then decided one day to have him factory produced in vinyl so everyone could have a crack at making their own unique version.  Zukie just went on sale today and is only $9.95.  He's 4 inches tall and as you can tell from the pictures, has a lot of surface area for your designs.  Get him now by going to http://zukie_art.storenvy.com/.

Living Dead Dolls Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse



    Well, I suppose if that whole Mayan nonsense about the end of the world turns out to be true it might be in our best interest to make friends with these guys before it happens.  That cryptic image above is the new Living Dead Dolls Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse series.  For about $100 you get the whole set of these bringers of the end times.  Each come with the needed accessories to ensure the suffering of mankind and they also have little hobby horses to make travel that much easier.  Look for this doomsday gang in November from Mezco.  

10-Doh Blind Box Series for San Diego Comic Con



    I'm glad these guys are getting the mini figure treatment, because I want to like them more but for some reason the bigger versions just don't do it for me.  I don't know what it is, but upon hearing they were now doing an entire series of 3 and 1/2 blind box versions, I got excited.   They'll be much easier to display and will look really cool when you get a bunch of them together.  And the roster of artists they gathered together is pretty impressive as well.  Kozik, Doktor A, Jesse Hernandez, and a bunch more that we all know and love have lent their talents to updating these classic Nintendo cartridges.  This series will debut at San Diego Comic Con and will sell for $10 each.  You can check out Kozik's design below:



San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Godzilla



    Seriously, if a monster is going to destroy everything you own, you're gonna want it to be Godzilla.  The guy's been around forever and no one will take the care to ensure utter destruction that he will.

    This fiery version of everyone's favorite giant reptile is an exclusive for this year's San Diego Comic Con.  The packaging is pretty cool too, as it depicts him destroying the convention and sending all of us nerds running for our lives.


    Maybe he was just upset that the tickets sold out so quickly and he didn't have access  to a computer when they went on sale.

Loki Movie Masterpiece Figure from Hot Toys



    If I were to buy this, would he try and lead my cats astray with his mouthful of deceit? Loki is looking pretty cool here in this Hot Toys Masterpiece Series, but that's how he gets you. When dealing with the eternal trickster you have to assume everything about him is meant to bring about your demise. You can preorder him now for $220 and he will ship in December, which is just in time for him to con you out of all your presents. You better buy the Thor figure as well just to keep this guy in line. My kitties already have all the bad influences they need with all the tv they watch.
