Dudebox at New York Comic Con

    This is the year of the Dudebox!!!!!  Continuing their attempt at world domination through toys, the folks at Dudebox are crossing the Atlantic and invading New York Comic Con.  They're coming armed with all kinds of crazy stuff to assault your senses and will ensure you leave with arm loads of things that will piss off anyone riding the subway with you.  Take a look see:

    This bro is clearly off the wagon.  His name is Taps Aff! and was designed by Scottish artist Conzo.  He is 7 and 1/2 inches tall and limited to 300 pieces.

Andreas Krapf has created this tighty-whitey clad geek known as...Eugene McGeekson.  Same stats as his friend above.  

 This crazy new platform shape is known as HUA and Riccardo Bucchioni put it to good use for his figure Franken.  Same height and release numbers as before (I'm detecting a pattern here).

This one intrigues me the most.  Kinda spooky lookin if I do say so.  The secret identity of this toy should be revealed to us soon.

I've already told you about the Dai Ocean figure from Pete Fowler that will be released at the con, but what you didn't know is that Pete himself will be making an appearance!  That's right, you can meet one of the original gangtas of vinyl toys both Saturday and Sunday!!!!!!!!  Check out all the info above.  

Toy Tokyo NYCC Exclusive Harley Quinn Pullip

    Ok, I can't even try and sugar coat this one.  I know this is a doll and can in no way be masked as an action figure.  But what is great about this is that I may have tricked my wife into wanting it just as much as I do, so if I buy it for her I'm totally in the clear.  Toy Tokyo is going to be exclusively selling this Harley Quinn Pullip at New York Comic Con and it may be hard not to pick this one up.  Again, here comes my wife to the rescue, because she luckily already collects Pullip dolls.  She has a handful of the small ones and the Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffanys limited edition that I got her for Christmas some time back, so this will fit seamlessly into her collection.  No word on how much this will cost, but I do have two healthy kidneys if anyone's looking.  

This Needs To Stop

    Kaws has finally gone off the deep end.  It was bad when he literally sold plastic poop on a stick as a way to make fun of the people that are obsessed with his work, but this is beyond dumb.  Yes, it is a ceramic jar.  You could put cookies in it, or candy, but certainly not money because Kaws has already stolen all of that.  Look, I admit I'm not a fan of his work, and if you are that's cool.  What I think is ridiculous about this is the lack of care he takes with his own collectors.  He'll  put x's on anything and sell it for a ridiculous amount of cash.  I get the toy thing, trust me I do.  Lord knows how many color variations of Labbits I have around the house.  But just because you can make something as stupid as this and sell it doesn't mean you should.  It makes you less of an artist and more of a crappy merchandise machine along the lines of Kiss.  Will an entire line of Kaws kitchen products soon follow?  Maybe a toaster that imprints his only design into the bread?  Or a pizza slicer?  Or a Kaws x Swiffer Wet Jet for those tough to clean spills?  

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.
