Mini Blue Stripe Kaiju Negora from Max Toy Company


    Oh my God, will I finally be able to add a Kaiju Negora to my collection?  These things are ridiculously hard to get as they sell out as soon as they are available and no one is ever willing to part with them afterwards.  Max Toy Company has obviously gotten tired of my whining and decided to make this newest kitty an open edition.  That means if you preorder one now, they will make it.  No more disappointment, no more wishing, no more paying sky high eBay prices.  $45 will get you this kitty and his little fish companion.  Go, go now and order a bazillion of them.  

Mega Scale Plush Krampus from Mezco



    We desperately need Krampus in America, because kids are heathens.  For those of you not in the know, Krampus is the counterpart to Saint Nicholas; tossing bad kids in a bag and beating them with sticks.  That's way more frightening than just getting a lump of coal in your stocking.  Do you know how many times I'm shopping in a store and I wish Krampus would show up and dole out some justice to some screaming brat?  I think he should be celebrated year round to keep those little buggers in line.  Someone get one of those White House petitions started so we can force them to regognize this crazy goat man as an official part of our nation's Christmas celebrations.

    Mezco is obviously on board with this idea because they have made this Krampus plush.  While he is more cute then menacing, it can serve as a constant reminder of the consequences of acting feral.  And he's only $21 for a huge 12 inch plushy.  And he's released in September just in time for the Christmas shopping season.  And you can preorder him now at http://www.mezcotoyz.com/.  And you can scare the crap out of your kids with this image while you wait for it to be delivered.  



Super Series Sunday Release from Taskone x Tenacious Toys



    Yeah, I know you need some more Muppets in your life.  How do I know?  Cause I stalk you on Facebook.  I really have nothing better to do all day.  

    Taskone and Tenacious Toys are releasing more custom Muppets for you this Sunday, April 21st.  Get one blind box for $40, or all three for $100.  And you can still get a full set for $600.  Jim Henson would want you to.

Buried Treasure Mummy Boy from Super7




    Do you remember when there was a Leprechaun running around Alabama and this guy just wanted to know "where the gold at?"  Boy I do, and now I can finally point him in the right direction because Super7 are releasing the new Buried Treasure Mummy Boy today! Just look at this guy, he's all shiny and sparkly and can be yours today at noon Pacific time for $50.  Don't be surprised when people see this if they start asking you for money cause they assume you're rich like Kanye West.  That's the price of having such fabulous taste.  


Semi Korosiya RGB Edition from Cop A Squat Toys




    Is Cop A Squat Toys the best name for a company ever?  I'm thinking so, and I'm also thinking they need to branch out into many more divisions.  Cop A Squat Appliance Repair, Cop A Squat Home Health Aids, Cop A Squat Burger Shack.  Basically, I just want to be able to give all of my money to businesses with that name.  Is it juvenile of me?  Maybe a tad.  No one ever accused me of being the most reasonable person they know.  

    These Semi Korosiya figures are really really cool.  They're made out of clear vinyl and actually have a screen printed insert inside of them to add some depth and detail.  You can snag one of these 8 inch figures today at 3pm Eastern time for $75 at http://copasquattoys.bigcartel.com/.


More Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko



    It seems like every other day that I'm posting news about Funko's Pop! Vinyl line.  How on Earth do they churn out so many figures?  Do they ever take days off?  Do their families even remember what they look like?  Have they perfected human cloning?  I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do, because I'm on a new budget that my toy collecting brain has not come to terms with.  And beign that these figures are ridiculously affordable, I can the ones I want and not have to skip any meals.  All of these guys release May 16th except for Ace Ventura who comes out on the 21st.

DC Bombshells Statues


    Before the age of the internet, where every girl with a camera and a Facebook page now thinks they are models, pin up girls were much harder to come by.  They were reserved for the nose cones of airplanes in war or the garages of your local auto mechanic.  They were a morale boaster, a reminder of what waited for you at home whether you were in a foreign land or merely in the midst of a long work shift.  There are still many artists who do amazing work with mankind's most beautiful inspiration, ensuring that the art of the pin up girl will live on forever.  DC Collectibles has done a great job of turning a couple of their most iconic female characters into something straight out of the 1940's and '50's.  

    Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Poison Ivy have been given the retro treatment in these statues that will be available this September.  Preorders are going on right now from wherever you buy your collectibles.  (Please and thank you: scroll down to the Entertainment Earth banner at the bottom of this page and buy from them to help support this site).
