Help The Sucklord and Monsterpants Make a Movie




    How many times in your life will someone ask you to help them make a movie (put your hand down Tom Cruise, I know you're reading this)? For the average person the answer is "never", but with the invention of Kickstarter we common folks now have the ability to help create amazing things. Monsterpants and the Sucklord need your help to make a film called Villian, in which our favorite toy bootlegger plays a really bad dude that wants to rid his city of real life super heroes. Is it a documentary? I knew that guy was up to something when he wasn't making stuff in his hideout. No one can breathe in that many chemical fumes and not loose it every once in awhile.

    Now let's get down to business. This film needs your help to become a reality. Through the magic of the aforementioned Kickstarter, you can donate to this project and get cool stuff in return. You wanna be a producer? Done. You want some cool autographed items from the cast and crew? No problem. But since you like toys, how about some handmade figures from the star of the film himself? Pledge $250 or more and you can get a toy depicting the Sucklord's character. If you know anything about his work you know that this is a pretty good price for what could be a very rare creation. It's a safer investment than Facebook stock. Get in on it by clicking here.

The Toy Viking x Jinxed Philly Custom Toy Show



    Ryan Rutherford is the creator of the world famous Ice Scream Man toy and I was lucky enough to convince him and his lovely wife, Tamara Petrosino, to customize Munnyworld figures for my first ever toy show. You can see each one in these work in progress pics they sent over. If you wanna see the final products (which I've seen and they are both amazing) then you should come to the show at Jinxed in Philly this Saturday, August 4th. It starts at 6pm so come by and see all the toys (or even buy them).





Kozik x Kidrobot Mini Smorkin Labbits



    I may be mistaken, but I think this is the 18th set of Labbits that Kozik and Kidrobot have released this year. I just got excited about the last two and the BAM I see these guys. I guess Labbits and Rabbits the same tenacity for breeding. One thing I noticed about the these guys is there are a few that are standing up like people. And just like people they are all about yummy fried chicken. It's nice to find things in common with your toys.

    You can beef up your bunny collection August 9th for $4.95 per blind box.

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.
