Pocket Invisiboy and More from Super7


    I've been pretty good all month.  Been early to my new job every day.  Paid all the bills and kept the cat litter and an acceptable level of cleanliness.  I watched the Olympics and cheered for the underdogs.  So with all that good karma stacked in my favor, I think it may be time to reward myself for not being a complete sociopath.

    I love the Pocket Invisiboys from Super7.  I don't know what it is, but every time they release a new version I get really excited to add it to my growing hoard.  This guy will be available today starting at noon Pacific time for $25.  Get him by going to http://super7store.com/.



    Super7 is also opening up membership slots in its Secret Society club thingy.  All the details are in the picture right there, so I'll let you click on it and read them to save me from being redundant.  Basically it's kinda like Fight Club except you get toys instead of punches to the face.  It's better to have an existential crisis in this fashion rather than developing a split personality and making soap out of human fat you pillage from medical waste bins.

Blind Boxed Misfortune Cats by Ferg



    Just when I was about to complete my blind box 12 step program I see this picture pop up on Twitter.  I was so close to being free from my addiction and the shame it has brought my family and my bank account.  But these are too amazing to resist and I'll just buy a few,  just for old time's sake.  Who am I kidding.  As soon as these suckers are released I'll be so far off the wagon I won't even be able to see it anymore.

    But can you blame me?  These Misfortune Cats from Ferg have always been a favorite of mine and now they're gonna be shrunken down in an array of colors.  I need every single one of them.  Resistance is truly futile.  I don't know much more than that, but when I get more news I'll let you know so you can hit blind box rock bottom with me.

Companion: Resting Place by Kaws




    You wanna know what the down payment on a new car looks like in toy form? Well, now you know, cause while I don't know much about this figure I can guarantee you it won't be bargain priced. And why should it, because Kaws knows he can get away with charging whatever he wants for these things and people will buy them up like they dispensed gold doubloons from their butts. I'm pretty sure that no matter what the underside of this dude looks like, it does not have those capabilities.

    I'll give a tad bit of credit where it is due and applaud him for not just taking a popular character and putting X's where it's eyes should be and calling it good (what? that already happened? a lot you say? dang.). And I do like blood and guts, so if you're gonna pry my mortgage money out of my hand it's a fair way to do it. Or with a taxidermied polar bear. I seriously have a great place in my house for it and I think it would blow my cat's minds. What were we talking about?

Dweezil Dragon by Kronk x Kidrobot



    This toy is insaaaaaaaaaane. I had no idea that dragons had interests other than sitting on their piles of loot and terrorizing the odd village here and there. Who knew they were also social beings with a penchant for urban fashion? Kronk and Kidrobot have teamed up to show us how well rounded these mystical creatures are with this new release. His name is Dweezil and stands at an impressive 15 inches tall. Big figures also come with big price tags, and at $350 you might wanna start lifting the couch cushions now and hoping that buried beneath them is more than just the random potato chip. But I really don't think the price is unreasonable when you consider the amount of work that went into a figure this detailed and the fact that only 300 of each color exist in the world. On August 23rd you can make all of your other toys feel a little bit inadequate by bringing Dweezil home.

Necrolameicon from We Become Monsters




    If you buy only one book of necromancy this year, this should be it.  And while you cannot actually open this volume and gaze upon its dark secrets,  rest assured that it is packed full of the sort of thing that would drive angry villagers to toast you over a bonfire.

    Behold the Necrolameicon, clad in the plastic skin of undead toys, written in the blood of a virgin Barbie!  For a mere $12 We Become Monsters will be happy to send you your own unholy copy of the black arts.  And they'll even throw in a free slab figure, made of resin that has been cast out of the light and forced to dwell forever in the shadows.  Get one before your evil little friend does and uses it to turn you into a newt.

Pearlescent Grey Garuru from Super7




    Is this bro sleeping? Am I that boring that he figured it would be more fun to take a nap than to read what I have to say? I guess when you have devil horns and a necklace made of skulls you probably aren't concerned with other peoples opinions anymore. Touché little demon guy, touché.

    This guy, who may or may not be paying attention, is named Garuru and he is sporting a brand new pearlescent grey paint job. Look at how thrilled he is about it.  Add him to your toy collection today at noon Pacific time for a mere $35 from the nice folks at Super7.  Just don't expect him to entertain you with anything more than his mere presence.

Resin Flame Mini Skulls from Matt Anderson




    I was lucky enough to meet Matt Anderson this past weekend because he was a part of my little toy show in Philadelphia. He had some of these with him at the time and I can tell you that the picture doesn't do them justice. Each of these mini resin skulls are hand made and painted by Mr. Anderson himself and are $30 a piece. You can make your collection a little more dangerous by going to http://matta.storenvy.com/.
