R2-A6 Flash Drive from Mimobot



    You remember R2-A6 right?  He was R2-D2's weird cousin with the lisp.  Mimobot created this limited edition flash drive to celebrate Star Wars Day, which I realize was this past weekend but if you want timely news you're better off with CNN.  I had things to do.  They only made 1000 of them and they can still be found for sale at www.mimoco.com.

Parasite Animals Pre-Order from Kikkake x Lulubell Toy Bodega



    How great are these?  The best things you've obviously seen all day would be the correct answer.  These Parasite Animals have been around for a little bit, but now we can get them in America without having to pay crazy shipping prices!  Take the money you would have spent on having them mailed to your house and buy more toys!!  Look how much better your life just became.

    Kikkake had this brilliant idea of taking cute little critter and planting them on top of a skull.  He could have stopped there, because it was already gold, but then he made some killer packaging for them with this bear that is all like "rawr, I'm gonna eat you and stuff cause I have glowing eyeballs".  And then it was the best thing ever but he wasn't done.  He then made a plastic puddle of blood that you can prop em up on for that extra gory effect.  Take my money now!

    You can preorder these guys right now from Lulubell Toy Bodega, who always have the craziest stuff I've ever seen in my life for sale.  And it always sells out (like those Siccaluna Bunnies.  I will never get to own one of those), so stop reading my gibberish and go and buy all of these.  








Look at all the colors you could get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Where are the cats by the way?  Get on making some kitties Kikkake!!

Octovox from Alto x Creo Design




    The octopus is a fascinating creature.  They have 8 crazy arms that can do 8 crazy things al at once and they're smarter than any member of the Kardashian family.  So how come more people don't utilize them in toy design?  Alto and Creo Design are going to be releasing their take on everyones favorite cephalopod this summer with Octovox.  He's got the same crazy angular look that their other work has featured and I believe his color variations were inspired by different types of music.  I'm guessing that because he has a massive amount of speakers coming from the back of his head.  And it looks like he's giving us the double middle finger.  Sassy octopus.

Chocolate Brown Helper Dragon from Tim Biskup x Rotofugi



    Today my stomach is waging war on the rest of my body.  I don't know what I did to piss it off so much, but it is angry.  This has nothing to do with this toy at all, I just thought I would take advantage of my public forum to complain and gather sympathy.  Ok, moving on.

    This is the latest, and possibly last, color of Tim Biskup's Helper Dragon from Rotofugi.  Why would I say such a thing?  Cause they're making a new mold for their Roto-a-Matic machine that will debut in the summer.  What could it be?  Nobody tells me anything, so your guess is as good as mine.  But while we wait you should buy this.  It's only $6 and available now at www.rotofugi.com.  

Super Series Sunday from Taskone x Tenacious Toys


Fact: Electric Mayhem was always a better band than Nickelback. Fact: The noises my stomach makes after eating bad lunch meat is more listenable than Nickelback. But we're not here to debate whether or not a certain group of Canadian musicians should be treated as terrorists, we're here to talk about these toys.

Taskone and Tenacious Toys are releasing three more figures in their ongoing Pillaging Pop Culture/Super Series Sunday collaboration. Get one blind box for $40 or all three figures for $100 starting tomorrow at 4pm Eastern time.

 

SDCC Exclusive Batusi Batman from Mattel






    This video may be the most awkward thing you see all day.  Batman strolls into a happening joint, meets a pretty gal, then gets roofied in his glass of orange juice.  But before he succumbs to the drugs effects he cuts loose with said pretty gal.  It's strange to say the least, and not surprising that drugs were involved.  Now you can relive this classic moment from tv for ever and ever in the comfort of your own home with the Batusi Batman from Mattel.

    The box is really the best part, as it features retro art from Shag, plays music, and has controls so you can make Batman dance.  This will first be available at this year's San Diego Comic Con and then online August 5th at www.mattycollector.com.



  

Spring Calaverita from The Beast Brothers


    What better way to celebrate the spring season than buying a new skull? You could clean your house, or dig your warm weather clothes out of storage and wash the gross mold smell out of them. That all sounds liked work to me, and that's for other people.

    The Beast Brothers are releasing this Spring edition of their Calaverita on Friday, May 10that 1pm Eastern time at www.thebeastbrothers.com. They only made 25 of them. That's not really a lot.
