The Walking Dead Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    The Walking Dead is not my favorite show in the world, but for some reason I can't make myself stop watching it.  I liked the first season ok, and I thought the last half of the second season was good, but overall it's a lot like True Blood is for me.  I feel like I'm in too deep just to give up on it now.  Plus, Sons of Anarchy isn't on every day of the year for some weird reason, so I have to have something else to occupy my time.  

    I do however like these new Pop! Vinyl interpretations of the characters by our pals at Funko.  Especially Daryl, cause we all know he's the best character on the show and the only one that doesn't deserve to be eaten alive by the undead.  Why can't Carl's mother ever keep an eye on him?  She only has one job!  And thank God Rick finally manned up and took care of that business with Shane (which his wife wanted him to do and then she got mad about it, WTF).  But Daryl just goes about his business being a hillbilly, eating squirrels, and riding his chopper.  Life hasn't really changed much for him cause it's pretty much what he would be doing anyway.  And the cross bow is a greatly underutilized weapon in our modern culture.  Look for these figures to be available in November. or click our Entertainment Earth banner at the bottom of the screen and preorder them now so you can forget about them and be surprised when they show up at your door.

Hollis Forever by Le Merde x Super7


    Is he a rock star?  Is he a tennis pro from the 70's?  Is he a rock star tennis pro from the 70's that drives a van with a plush interior and a mini bar with a painting of a valkyrie riding a polar bear as she descends from Asgard on the side and an ironic "Vote Nixon" sticker on the bumper?  Yes, yes he is.  And he is a vampire and he is available now for $35 from Le Merde and Super7.  You're welcome.

Custom Toy of the Week: Emily Bee



    Did you know the already amazing Tuttz cats from Argonaut Resins could look even more....amazinger????  This kitty cat was painted by the overly talented Emily Bee, who is a world traveling, film animating, art making wonder person.  How does she find the time for all of these things?  I think a bending of the space/time continuum is the only explanation.  You could actually own this guy on Tuesday, August 28th at 1pm EST when he goes up for sale in her shop: http://emilybee.bigcartel.com/.  You know, my birthday is coming up, so if anyone would like to hook a brother up I wouldn't be mad at ya.







Leopard Cavey from A Little Stranger



    Leopard print is the official pattern of the state of New Jersey.  No matter where you go, someone is wearing it.  I don't know how this happened and in most instances it's fine until you see some orange skinned 80 year old woman wearing an entire sweatsuit of it and animal control won't come out to remove her from the premises.  Then you've got a problem on your hands.

    We've featured Cavey releases on the site before but as I've stated above, this one hits close to home.  You can get one of these on Monday, August 27th, which is in plenty of time for the Real Housewives of New Jersey season finale.  Only 100 of them were made, so be ready by logging onto http://heycavey.bigcartel.com/ at 8pm London Time with your credit card ready to go cause these things sell fast.

Slender Man from Fuei Shokai is Quite Disturbing



    I'm not easily creeped out, but it's safe to say that this is the most disturbing toy I have ever seen.  This is Slender Man and is the twisted creation of Fuei Shokai.  I discovered this dude through the fine folks at DKE, so at least I have someone to sue when I can never sleep again.  This guy has a whole story to go with him, but the translation is not the best, so I'll sum it up by saying he's a monster that makes kids disappear.  And no, not in the birthday party magician sort of way.  Oh, and you may notice something stuck in his head that is kinda hard to make out.  Well that cloudy area is an actual human tooth!!!!!!  Really?  I don't even want to know where they got that from in case the police start asking questions.  This guy should be available soon for $55.  Bring the fun and excitement of a crime scene home!

Critters Inspired Mini Figures from The Amazing Zectron



    Do you remember that movie Critters with the freaky little furry things that had a taste for human flesh? No one in their right mind would let one of those things in their house.  For one, it is doubtful that they're potty trained, and for two, they would eat you.  Neither of which is good if your trying to maintain some sort of cleanliness.  But now you can have your very own Critter without having to worry about it nibbling on your calves.  The Amazing Zectron has teamed up with Bigmantoys and Man-E-Toys to present these little carnivores in both rubber and resin editions.  You want a rubber one?  Man-E-Toys will hook you up for $15.  You want a resin one?  Bigmantoys will hook you up for $13.  The rubber are blind bagged and come in a plethora of colors, while the resin come housed in an egg just like the film.  These go on sale Friday, August 24th at 9pm London Time.
