Iron Man 3 Pop! Vinyl from Funko


 
 
Iron Man 3 will be coming out soon so you know what that means? Toys of course! And what better movie toys could you think of than Pop! Vinyl from Funko? The answer is none.


You can get all four of these guys from the film on February 18th and add to your growing Pop! Vinyl collection that has probably taken over your house and caused the floor of your living room to sag beneath its weight.

 
 
 
 

Major Lazer Mascot from Kidrobot



    I don't do drugs so I don't always get every neo cultural reference made in the world, thus I had to look up who this Major Lazer guy was.  It seems like something hipsters would like because it wasn't particularly good but I can see people suffering through it to make it seem like their tastes have evolved way past anything in the "mainstream" or anything "I may have heard of." 

    This is the newest mascot figure from Kidrobot.  It comes out February 19th for $50.  You can put it next to all of your ceramic owls and your printed photos from Instagram of you holding a thrift store record and staring at your feet sorrowfully because your parents didn't love you enough to buy you New Kids on the Block reunion tickets and support your ironic lifestyle as a performance artist whose work is focused on the post consumerism lifestyle of Appalachian bluegrass musicians.

Year of the Snake Tee from Allen Wen x Outsmart Originals



    Now this is what I'm talking about!  This is a man's shirt if I've ever seen one.  That cobra looks like it could be from the hood of a suped up Trans Am that is driven by that guy with the jean jacket and the King Diamond patch on the back who buys all the underage kids cigarettes and you can't really tell how old he is but he probably should be a bit more responsible and pay his bills on time.  He would wear this shirt until it turned grey and looked like rats had nibbled on it and that's why I want one.

    This t-shirt that would look amazing in my closet was designed by Allen Wen/AW177 and Outsmart Originals.  For $20 you can get the shirt and be entered to win the original art used to make it.  You should buy one then go cruising for chicks, or whatever people do nowadays. 



Disney/Pixar Mystery Minis from Funko



    I'm secure enough in my manhood to post about cute things every once in awhile.  It doesn't mean that I don't like ultimate fighting, or semi-automatic weapons, it just means that sometimes there's stuff out there that you the reader may be interested in and I'd like to tell you about it.  Plus, aren't these adorable?  You know, for watching football with and stuff.

    These are the Disney/Pixar Mystery Minis from Funko.  Each character comes in three different poses that are blind boxed with varying degrees of rarity that will probably drive you mad trying to collect all of.  You can start the craziness when they are released February 28th.

OG Jaguar Knight from Jesse Hernandez x Pobber Release Party at TAG



    Why does everything toy related happen in California?  I think it's time I relocated to some place where new toys release every week and the weather is a bit more favorable.  You wanna know what the temperature is outside?  15 degrees Fahrenheit.  Normally I don't complain about the cold too much, but I'm gonna join in with everyone else and put my two cents worth in.  It's chilly!!!!!!!

    Jesse Hernandez and Pobber Toys have created this sick looking Jaguar Warrior and now you can get the man himself to sign one for ya.  He'll be at Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles this Saturday peddling his wares.  Go and say hi, get a toy, and make me jealous.  Go on, you know you want to.  You probably won't even have to wear 5 jackets.  

Bloody Buckingham Warrior from Gary Baseman x The Loyal Subjects Release Party



   A few of these Buckingham Warriors from Gary Baseman and The Loyal Subjects have been released so far but none this...brutal!!!!!!  Just look at it all covered in blood and smiling.  You've messed up if this guy is on the hunt for you.  

   To celebrate the release of this guy there's going to be a big party this Saturday in Los Angeles.  Any event that Gary Baseman shows up to is bound to be an interesting time, so if you're lucky enough to live close by, or extremely rich and can afford to fly there, then you should.  I'll be slaving away at work, thinking about how much fun you're having.  Jerks.

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.
