The Walking Dead Glenn Bloody Exclusive Pop! Vinyl from Funko



    Anyone who watches The Walking Dead knows Glenn has had it rough.  For the first two seasons he was stuck doing all the crappy jobs because he was too much of a wuss to say no.  Then that hot girl took an interest in him and he's like "I have a reason to live" so he started acting more like a man and refused to ever be dangled in a well as zombie bait ever again.  Good on you Glenn.

    This Pop! Vinyl figure from Funko is a special blood-soaked variant that is an exclusive for Man of Action Figures.  They're 1500 of them available to preorder right now for $14.95 and they will come out in April.   Maybe Funko will make me an exclusive Mickey Mouse covered in blood.  That would be pretty cool.

Renold PTV January Snowday from Cris Rose



    It's like I got a theme going today.  It's like I'm a little OCD and have to keep all my similar posts about similar things on the same day or else I'll have a shaking fit and my wife won't take me to Famous Dave's even though I've been on my best behavior for a majority of the day with just one little slip up that I doubt the police would even find out about and if they did it's only a misdemeanor anyway.  Better stick to my theme then.

    This is the January Snowday Renold from Cris Rose.  This little guy is limited to only 6 pieces for $65 each, which is a deal being that he comes with his own snowy display environment.  These go on sale tomorrow at 18:00 London time (you should Google it cause I have no idea when that is) at crisrose.bigcartel.com.

Winter Wonderland Series from Argonaut Resins




    I'm in a funk.  My beloved Philadelphia Flyers are 0-2 in what is a mini version of the NHL season and it's supposed to get ridiculously cold out this week.  Thus far, winter is doing a fair job of sucking, but then Argonaut Resins goes and makes these seasonal figures and suddenly things don't seem so bad.  All of the dudes you see up there will go on sale tomorrow, January 22nd, at 10pm eastern time.  You have to be quick if you want one because these will sell fast as usual.  So go ahead and set your homepage to http://argonautresins.bigcartel.com/ and have your credit card ready.  May the gods of online shopping smile upon you.

New Shirt and Beanie from RSIN x Outsmart Originals




   RSIN is well on his way to becoming a fashion mogul, like Tommy Hillfiger, or those Olsen Twins.  This is already his second shirt with Outsmart Originals and this time he gets a beanie too!  Will pants be next?  What about sensible shoes that transform from a day at the office to an evening on the town?   Is Project Runway in his future?  It could happen.

   The tee is $20 and the beanie is $15 or you can get the set for $30.  Plus, every purchase you make of either one will enter you to win a custom toy from the man himself.  You can't get deals like this buying crap from Hot Topic, so go right now to http://www.outsmartoriginals.com/ and start dressing better in 2013.  




I Have a Confession to Make




    Since I began this site I have felt the pressure of competition from my rivals online.  In an effort to the wittiest and arguably best looking writer about toys I succumbed to the temptation of steroids.  Yeah, I was juicin like a mofo.  I know it was wrong, but there are so many people fighting for your attention on the internet that I felt like I needed a competitive edge.  I now know I was wrong to turn to performance enhancing drugs, mainly because they are expensive and I could have used that money to buy more toys.  It was really a stupid investment and stupid investments are wrong.  Plus, they have health risks or something according to this chart I found:



    Who has time to read all that?  Plus, the pictures look unpleasant.  Anyway, I planned to confess to all of this on Oprah right after that bike riding idiot, but for some reason my multiple phone calls only ended in a restraining order rather than an invitation for an interview.  TV people are weird.  Shed tears for me Oprah, I'm in pain too ya know!



Batman Arkam City Series 4 from DC Collectibles



    I can't blame DC Collectibles for milking the Arkam City game for all that it's worth because it is one of the best I've played.  Hopefully they will be making another one for me to devote significant portions of my life to. But in the mean time, they have some new toys coming out in March.  I think every character has been featured now, so maybe they will make some cool diorama to display them on (for those of you that don't open your figures, I apologize for any stress I may have just induced there).

The Wanderer from David Healey x Skinner



    Are these the guys Tom Cruise and his rich weirdo friends are worshipping in their Hollywood compound while doped up on space peyote and giving each other back rubs?  I think they might be.  

    David Healey made these guys and then Skinner painted 'em up to make 'em look all intergalactic and otherworldly.  They only made 10 of these suckers and you can get one tomorrow for $75.  Having one on your mantel will save you when Tom Cruise starts going door to door looking for the non believers to sacrifice to the supreme overlord.  Don't be sacrificed to the supreme overlord.
