The Forest Warlord : Himalaya from Bigfoot x Dragatomi



    Two yeti toys in two days?  It's crazy right?  Those idiots on Bigfoot Hunter or whatever that show's called can't find any, but here I am with my second in as many days.  Maybe I should have my own show.  It would be called "Oh, Look at What I Found" and in one 30 minute episode I would find Bigfoot, The Jersey Devil, a butt ton of ghosts, Chupacabra, tons of vintage items to sell in my pawn shop (without having to call an expert), Jimmy Hoffa in a storage locker that someone didn't pay the bill on, a family of raccoons in your attic, and every car up for repossession in the tri state area.  I would put entire networks out of business.  Give me a call Oprah, and I'll save that sinking ship you call a network sweet cheeks.

    My second Sasquatch comes courtesy of the artist named Bigfoot and Dragatomi.  The Himalaya version of The Forrest Warlord is freakin huge.  It stands almost a foot tall and has a cool ice club that he can crush your skull with and suck out your brains like a juice box.  He releases on Wednesday, February 6th through http://dragatomi.com/.




Blushing Snybora from Chris Ryniak x Rotofugi



    I shouldn't be telling you about this because I really want one and I feel you will buy them all before I get the chance.  But if I didn't tell you I would feel guilty because you'd find out about it from some other place that doesn't put as much love into the toys they write about and my heart would hurt knowing that I subjected you to something so boring.  Here's what you could have read if I didn't write about it:

"Hey this is cool.  Info info info. "

    See, boring.  But no, I put my all into everything I write because I value you as a reader and enough crap already bores me to tears, like paying taxes, getting my oil changed, vacuuming, wearing pants, grocery shopping, making diner, etc etc.  I don't want to add something else boring to our days.  So I'm gonna spice this guy up for ya, even if that means that you buy them all and I can't have one.  I'm like a martyr or something.

    Chris Ryniak and Rotofugi have put their powers together to create this Blushing Snybora.  This guy is so sick!  Look at how the black paint makes the sculpt pop!!!!  I need one, like right now!  But alas, I must wait until they go on sale this Thursday at 11am Central time at http://www.rotofugi.com/.

Toxic Green Daigomi from Mechavirus x Guumon



    I'm telling you, and remember to give me credit when it actually happens, any day now something looking like this guy is gonna pop out of the middle of Staten Island and wreck New York.  Somebody better get the mayor on the phone and propose building a missile defense system stat, cause this dude looks pissed.

    Behold Daigomi, the crazy plastic creation of Guumon.  This is the Toxic Green edition of the figure and was painted up by Mechavirus and sold exclusively through the fine folks at Kaiju Monster.   I've seen these guys in person a few times and they are massive, which makes their $100 price tag one of the best bargains you'll find as a toy collector.  You know you want one, so now I'll tell you how to get it.

    Purchasing one of these guys can only be accomplished by entering a lottery.  You have from February 4th - 13th to email mzwar001@gmail.com with "Toxic Green Daigomi" in the subject line.  Include your name, address, and PayPal account name in the body of the email.  Then you have to pray to the toy Gods and hope that you get the chance to buy one.  The winners of the lottery will be announced on the 15th.



Hug the Killer: Love Bug Edition from Mighty Jaxx



    If only these were the critters you got when you ate raw pork!  No one would mind having a bunch of these dudes living in your intestinal track, syphoning nutrients from your already digested meals.  It would be like having adorable little pets that hopefully would take a bath before you played with them.

    Hug the Killer is all pinked out just in time for Valentine's Day.  Is he really gonna hug you, or is he gonna eat you?  Who knows, but he's freakin cute so you should take the chance.  Mighty Jaxx only made 50 of this 4 inch tall love worm (I wouldn't Google 'love worm' if I were you) and he is $50.  Get him right now from their website.  

Love Yeti Mini Marshall from 64 Colors x Rotofugi



    Normally, I stay clear of any big hairy thing that is hell bent on trying to love me.  It's just one of those weird personal rules I have.  Call me crazy, but it has served me well thus far in life.  So this guy makes me a tad nervous, though luckily he is actualy quite tiny and I could step on him if he tries to get too fresh.

    64 Colors and Rotofugi are releasing this special Love Yeti Mini Marshall just in time for Valentine's Day.  Maybe I'll get one of these for my wife, cause if you ask me other Valentine's Day presents are just asking for trouble.  Sure, girls love diamonds, but so do muggers.  You think I'm ever gonna hear the end of that one if she gets robbed for her sweet diamond necklace?  And flowers die, which could be a bad omen for your relationship.  Chocolates make you gain weight and no man can afford for their lady to buy an entire new wardrobe because of a misguided gift.  You see what I'm getting at here?  This guy is the safest of all presents you could possibly get that special someone in your life.  Or someone's if you're scandalous.

    The Love Yeti goes on sale Tuesday, February 5th at 11am Central time at http://www.rotofugi.com/ for the low low price of $7.95.

Clear Orange Resin Gipper Bust from Frank Kozik




    Normally I don't post stuff up on the weekends because I figure you guys are all still drunk or in jail and won't get to read it anyway.  Each post is a tiny work of literary genius that contains profound information you can use to your benefit.  If you didn't see them I would cry/cut myself and who needs that?  

    Frank Kozik is at it again with his wacky resin hijinks.  This orange Gipper resin bust is for a show he has tonight at Varnish Fine Art in San Francisco.  If you can't make it to the show you can still get one of these because the gallery will have them for sale on their website.  The show starts at 6pm Pacific time, so I would keep an eye on http://www.varnishfineart.com/ around then.  There's only 50 of them and they will be $75 each.  That's a deal considering he makes them all himself.  Or he at least supervises his basement factory staffed with transients while he pets his cats and laughs maniacally.  Either way they turned out really nice.

Pseudomorphism: Blobpus vs. Paul Kaiju at Toy Art Gallery





    Toy Art Gallery would be reason enough to live in California.  It seems no matter when I check my email, they have some cool event going on that I get to drool about from 3,000 miles away.  Maybe they should open an East Coast location and they could have simultaneous toy shows, or they could treat it like a small town movie theater and we could get to see all the cool stuff 2 months after everyone else.  Either way I'm cool with it and just so every knows, this was my one genius idea for the day so don't expect too much more out of me.  My brain must rest now.


   This crazy show opens tomorrow night and will feature the works of Paul Kaiju, Blobpus, Hanawa, and Yamomark.  You wanna see crazy toys that are like an LSD nightmare come to life?  Then this is the place to be.  Scroll down a bit and you can get a quick preview of what they'll have there.
