Today's Lack of Blog Updates is Brought to You By...



    Lego Lord of the Rings the video game!  It wasn't enough for me to be obsessed with these in real life, but now they consume me via my television as well.  So far I've been sucked in by the Star Wars, Batman, and Indiana Jones versions (though the latter was not nearly as good) and I knew once they announced one set in Middle Earth I was screwed.  So far, that prophecy is being fulfilled.  

Jesse Hernandez x Kidrobot Kukulcan Edition Apocalypse Dunny



    Now you have something else to occupy yourself with the day before the world is supposed to end.  Kidrobot and Jesse Hernandez are releasing this Kukulcan edition of his Apocalypse series Dunny.  2012 of these will be available and will be priced at $14.95.  Go and get one and forget your doomsday prepping cause the only this that will happen on the 21st is that you'll still have bills that are due.

Tokidoki Unicornos Series 2



    My wife went nuts for the first series of these unicorn figures from Tokidoki.  She got all the commons one fairly quickly and it wasn't long before we were hitting up every Barnes and Noble in the area searching for open boxes to try and score the last few she needed.  I became somewhat of an expert at feeling up the little foil wrapper to identify the contents inside.  I'll admit it, I even peeked a few times at little holes that magically appeared to see what was in them.  I regret nothing.

    Now, thankfully, there is a second series that will keep her busy for awhile until we can find those last elusive pieces.  These little suckers were just released the other day and should be showing up soon at stores near you.

Marvel Series 2 Pop! Vinyl from Funko


    OOooooooooh look at these! Funko just announced the second series of Marvel Pop! Vinyl figures and they do not suck.  I mean, for one you have Deadpool.  They honestly could have stopped there and people would still freak out for it, but no, they pushed on and made Ghost Rider, Dark Phoenix, Beast, Doctor Doom, and the Silver Surfer.  Thankfully the Ghost Rider figure looks nothing like Nicholas Cage, cause then we'd have a problem.  I've been trying for years to forget he was ever in those movies and yet my subconscious is haunted by them.  These guys will be released January 24th.

Batman Arkham City Harley Quinn Statue



    Everyone's favorite psychiatrist turned psychopath is getting the porcelain treatment in this new statue from DC Collectibles.  This is Ms. Harley Quinn as she appears in the Batman: Arkham City video game that I gave at minimum a few days worth of my life to.  Not that it wasn't worth it mind you, but I really wish that game developers would stop letting you know how much time you've spent playing one of their creations.  Rather than be happy when I've completed a game I'm usually depressed about all of the other stuff I could have been doing.  Like the fact that I haven't taken the trash out in a week and something smells as if it's regenerating and out for revenge.

    This statue will be available in January and will retail for $124.95.  

Holiday Foster from Super7



    Every year for Christmas my mom makes cookies that leave me crippled. They're so good I sometimes replace entire meals with them. I eat them until I feel sick, lay down until I feel better, then I eat some more. I don't know if you can bake with heroin, but the addiction level is right up there with the strongest opiates. Then in January, when my supply runs out, I'm left a shaking, paranoid mess for about a week before I can rejoin society. I need more but she won't make them. Why do they only have to be for Christmas? It makes no logical sense other than it's keeping me from growing to 800 pounds and becoming a shut in who relies on Chinese food delivery people for companionship.

    This is the holiday edition of Foster from Super7. He's all decked out with red and green sprinkles and pink filling. You know a smiling cookie that has already taken a bite out of himself is gonna mess you up. You'll be in rehab in no time after partaking in this guy. So don't eat him, just put him on your shelf and pretend he's not tempting you with his addictive deliciousness. Add him to your collection today at noon Pacific time for $25 by going to www.super7store.com.
