Zukie DIY Show at Toy Tokyo Tonight!




    Whatcha doin tonight? Do you happen to be in or near New York City? Do you happen to like custom toys and art? Then cancel your plans cause here's where you need to be. It's the Zukie Vs. the World custom show At Toy Tokyo Underground! Some really great artists are participating in this event so your eyes will be amazed by what they see!




Animal Spirit Ninja from Shawnimals




    This kinda reminds me of Batman. Like, if Bruce Wayne had grown up in the woods and was more in touch with nature, hanging out with wild critters and such. I'm digging it and DC should hire me to create a Gotham Forrest story arc. Just puttin it out there.

    This is the Animal Spirit Ninja from Shawnimals and he can be yours August 1st. As with all Ninja of the Month releases, this bad boy is handmade, limited to 100 pieces, and priced at $30. Get him by going to http://www.shawnimals.com/



Catwoman 1/6th Scale Figure from Hot Toys




    I just saw the new Batman film the other day and I thought it was amazing. I can't really say anything about it without giving away key parts to people that haven't seen it, but I really really really liked it. One of the best parts of the film was Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. Yeah she was looking mighty foxy through the entire film, but I thought she portrayed the character well. And did I say she was looking foxy? Don't wanna leave anything out.

    Hot Toys is gonna give you the chance to bring this latest version of Miss Selina Kyle home with this 1/6th scale figure. It looks like she's gonna come with that Batcycle thingy, so you're gonna need to clear a big space for this one. And yes, it would be slightly creepy if you picked your bedside table, in case you were wondering.

Dawn Femme Fatale Statue




    Go ahead and make a "gingers have no soul" joke to this chick, I dare you. As you probably already knew, this is Dawn and she has a really big sword. And it's sharp. And it thinks it's funny that your skull bothers protecting your brain, cause a stick of butter would be just as effective when facing a weapon like this. She will cut you sucka.

    Dawn is the latest Femme Fatale statue from Diamond Select Toys. This purtty lady stands 9 inches tall and is gonna be available August 1st.



Jason Freeny's Capsl Toys



    We all know the world economy is in the toilet and that especially hits hard with collectors because you have to get the most you can for your money. That means before you buy an armful of blind boxes you gotta do a lot of math trying to figure out ratios and your odds of getting the ones you want. It pleases me and my credit rating when I can pick and choose esential pieces or buy an entire set outright without having to pray for the fates to be on my side.

    With that in mind, I present to you Capsls by Jason Freeny and FCTRY/Jailbreak Collective. You can mix and match parts from these guys to customize them any way you want. You can use them as keychains, store small valuables in them, or just leave them as they are and let them spice up your toy collection. There are 12 in the base set and you can buy them blind or pick the ones you want. Doing it that way they are $7.99 each, or for $99 you can get the whole set plus the limited edition Medicine Man design. Get yours right now by going to http://www.capsls.com/.

Andrew Bell x Kidrobot Mahakala Dunny



    I'm not gonna pretend that I can properly pronounce this guy's name, but I can tell you that I want one reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyyy badly. Just look at it: it's a Dunny wearing the skulls of smaller Dunnys like a fashion statement. This is the new Mahakala 8 inch Dunny from Andrew Bell and Kidrobot. The white version of this angry bro was released at Comic Con and a smaller version of this one was in the 2012 series armed with a flaming sword. This time he's brushing the dust off of his trident and harvesting more bunny heads for a new shirt he's working on. When not collecting bones he enjoys watching Project Runway and has decided that it is now time to marry the two interests. Or something.

    You can try to get one of the 900 of these that exist when they are released August 2nd. They will be $100.






Buy King Crakal and Get Little Crakal Free from Dudebox




    A wise man once said, "the only thing better than toys is more toys." That wise man was me and I have yet to be proven wrong in these matters. Dudebox understands this fact and is now giving you more for your money. You see that giant King Crakal figure from artist Jonny Wan? He now comes with his little buddy absolutely free. Two toys for the price of one? Yeah, I'm cool with that.
