Custom Toy of the Week: Sergio Mancini


    You wanna know what's cool?  To take your own production figure and change it around.  I mean, just to have a toy that a company produced is pretty amazing, but then to paint over part of it to make it entirely different must be surreal.  This Dunny was made by Sergio Mancini (twice!!!!!) for a private collector.  I would guess it's not going to someone with a fear of clowns, cause this dude doesn't look like his intentions are pure.  


October Ninja of the Month from Shawnimals



    This is the brand new October Ninja of the Month from Shawnimals.  If you think his Halloween get up is spooky just think about this.  His name is Sneaky Ninja.  Now does that make him even more sneaky than the average ninja?  I thought ninjas were the sneakiest people in the world (other than politicians) so has this dude evolved into being uber sneaky?  How will we defend against such a threat to our safety and our valuables?  Have we been doomed to be forever at the mercy of such an adversary?  I don't have the answers to these questions, but I do know how you could get your own for extreme sneaky ninja snuggle time.  He will be released Wednesday, October 3rd at 1pm Central Time.    Just click here.  Do it.  But not now.  Wait until it's the proper time eager beaver.

Art Attack Toys Exclusive Fire Clan Bear Mini Qee





    Yesterday I wrote about this dude's blue brother, but what if red is more your color?  Fear Not cause Art Attack Toys has you covered with their exclusive Pandaimyo Fire Clan Bear Mini Qee from Jon Paul Kaiser and Toy2r.  I really like the Mini Qee platform and one of the reasons is the arms are off to the side, unlike their 8 inch counterparts whose arms come out further in front of their chest.  This gives the designers more room to create and makes these different color editions really pop.  And normally I'm not someone who has to have every single color of a toy, but these might be too cool for me to pass up.  Only 300 of these were made in red and you can get one right now by going to http://www.artattacktoys.com/.

Harley Quinn DC Comics Cover Girls Statue


    Ooooooh, hey there. It's no secret I have a soft spot for Miss Harley Quinn. Everyone as a fictional crush right, or is that weird? It's not like I'm admitting to liking Nickelback or anything extreme like that.

   Harley is sporting her new look from the Suicide Squad in this statue from DC Collectibles. I can't say I hate it, as her old getup never really translates into the real world. Just go to any comic convention and you'll see what I mean. You can bring home this adorable psychopath in December for $99.95.





Tenacious Toys x Jon Paul Kaiser NYCC Exclusive Qee



    I was lucky enough to meet Jon Paul Kaiser at the Tenacious Toys booth at last year's New York Comic Con and since then he has had a literal truckload of new toys releases. He went from a relative unknown to one of the most in-demand artists in the world of plastic. If you're going to be attending this year's event, set some cash aside to pick up one of these bad boys.

    This is the Tenacious Toys exclusive Blue Pandaimyo Mini Qee from JPK and Toy2r. Only 300 in this color were made and you'll be able to get one starting on Friday at the con. Jon Paul Kaiser will be there sometime as well to sign em for ya.
