Double Heather Cheap Toy from Buff Monster x Healeymade



    It would suck to have two heads.  What if one of the heads had really bad breath and the other head never got any relief from it?  Or one of them insisted on trying hats on, caught head lice, and gave it to the other?  You just know one of the heads would be a filthy jerk like that.  I'm sure you could strike a pretty cool reality tv deal, but it just seems like a hassle to me.

    You may remember this toy in its original incarnation as Double Heather from the Garbage Pail Kids.  Well, Buff Monster changed her up a bit to include two of his signature ice cream scoops as heads and then had Healeymade cast them in resin.  These 4 versions will be available tomorrow through Buff Monster's website at www.buffmonster.com.  

Skeleton Labbit from Frank Kozik x Kidrobot





    I spilled the beans on this one a few months back (with permission I might add) and since then I have eagerly awaited its release.  Tomorrow the wait is over as Frank Kozik x Kidrobot release both editions of the Skeleton Labbit.  These are going to drive me mad because how do you display them?  Do you chose one side you like better?  Do you turn them sideways so you see a little of each?  Do you rotate them every other week like the kids of divorced parents?  Maybe you could get a little motorized display that spins slowly like the ones they use at auto shows.  Or you could just not over think things like I do and move on with your life.  Either way, these guys are $75 each and go on sale tomorrow, which is Thursday April 25th.  

    Kozik of course will have a bunch of these on his website for sale.  You can get em signed and shipped right from his international headquarters.  www.frankkozik.net

    And if you live in San Francisco you can go to the Kidrobot store tomorrow from 6-8pm and harass him in person.  






SkullBrain All Stars Release from Mutant Vinyl Hardcore




    It will most likely take you longer to read this post than these figures will remain available.  Everything Mutant Vinyl Hardcore releases sells out quickly, so you may want to cancel your plans and stay posted at your computer until these go on sale.  You know, just so you can be prepared.  Bathroom breaks are ok but make them quick.  

    Artists from the SkullBrain message board were chosen to paint some of these Death Head DX figures.  There will be 6 versions in total (5 you see here and one mystery version) and they will be available for $100 (limit one per household) this Friday, April 26th from http://mutantvinylhardcore.bigcartel.com/.

Monster Worship Exclusives for C2E2




    Yet another convention that is too far for me to attend.  My whole dream of independent wealth and unlimited convention going is not nearly working out as I had planned.  Time to regroup.

    Monster Worship will be at C2E2 this weekend and will have three exclusives with them.  I only know about two of them and here there are.  They're Mini Greasebats from Jeff Lamm. You got the red one, who is standing and all mad looking, and you have the debut of the sitting one who is equally as mad looking.  These will be available at the Nakama Toys booth #951 on Saturday from 11:30 - 3:30.

DC Comics Mez-Itz Blind Boxed Toys from Mezco


    Blind boxes drive me insane.  Aside from Dunny or Smorkin' Labbits I have all but given up on blind boxes as an option when buying toys.  Yes, it is fun at first to not know what you're getting, but the fun ceases when you get 8 of the same figure and it wasn't even one you liked.  Mezco knows that it sucks to not be able to get the one's you want let alone complete a set so they fixed that with these DC Comics Mez-Itz.  Each case contains 24 blind boxed figures and you are guaranteed to get a complete set!  Buy the case and you get every single one that you could want.  It takes the stress out of spending a lot of money and ending up with stuff you don't want.  And you'll have doubles to trade for other toys!!! Oh my God, its the biggest win-win you've ever seen.  Plus a case only costs $105, which is dirt cheap if you compare it to other blind box releases.  You can preorder these now through Entertainment Earth by clicking the banner at the bottom of the page.

Custom Toy of the Week: Josh Mayhem



    This crazy looking toy started out as a Boba Fett Lego alarm clock and a set from Lego Hero Factory.  Josh Mayhem then worked some sort of deal with the Devil to create this insane mash-up.  "Demon Fett" will be part of the Designing Outside the Lines custom group show at 1AM Gallery in San Francisco beginning April 26th.
