Super Series Sunday from Mo Abedin x Tenacious Toys




    Ummmmmm wow.  This is, by far, the most ambitious release from Tenacious Toys as part of their Super Series Sundays.  Not only is this resin figure of a shogun-styled Mercury huge at 16 inches tall, but the detail that designer Mo Abedin captured is impressive.  Only 10 of these will be available when they go on sale tomorrow, July 7th, at noon Eastern time for their debut in the United States.  They will be hand made to order and only 100 will ever exist world wide.  Something this cool doesn't come cheap, and they will be priced at $750.  But something like this goes beyond just being a mere toy.

Super7 Releases for SDCC...Take 2



    Ok, this is my second post about releases from Super7 for San Diego Comic Con.  I'm already planning a third, so in the spirit of trying to be informative I'm gonna have cut my sass level down a bit in order to get you the pertinent info. In fact, just look at the pictures, begin drooling, and phone that long lost cousin of yours that's obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons who has been to every Comic Con since '89. It will be worth him boring you to death with tales of his level 50 troll killer if he can score you a few of these.







Nofuture Toy Art Gallery Exclusive from Kenth Toy Works


    I need more toys like this. Toys covered in spikes and skulls. Toys that look like they could punch you in the mouth as easily as they could sit on your shelf.

    Nofuture from Kenth Toy Works is one killer piece of resin. 15 of these were made exclusively for Toy Art Gallery and will be available today for $70 each. You can buy one by going to http://shop.toyartgallery.com/

Mimobot Exclusives for SDCC



    I'm bad at organization. Terrible even. I bought a filing cabinet, got a ton of folders, and still nothing is organized. Most likely because the folders are in a pile in the corner and the filing cabinet's drawers are full of papers I've just thrown in there haphazardly. Well, papers and random stuff I find my cat Icarus trying to eat. I'll be typing away at the computer when I hear a wet, chewing noise, and then I have to tackle him to remove whatever he was trying to injest. My filing system has gone to hell.

    If I could only fully embrace the digital world, then I would have a sure fire solution to my predicament with these Mimobots. And like everyone else, they have some exclusive ones available at San Diego Comic Con. Being a big Star Wars fan, the Chewbacca one is my obvious favorite, but they have a bunch of others available too. Check out what they've revealed so far and buy yours at www.mimoco.com or at booth #2913M in The Star Wars Pavillion.

Ghost Pirate Chaos Bunny from Joe Ledbetter x The Loyal Subjects



    You know what sucks about San Diego Comic Con?  Not being able to go to San Diego Comic Con.  But who wants to listen to me whine all day?  Certainly not my wife, and she's legally obligated to.  

    So I love when companies split up the amount of a release to give us geographically or financially challenged folks a shot at scoring a toy.  The Loyal Subjects are doing just that with this Ghost Pirate Chaos Bunny from Joe Ledbetter.  It's still not a viking, but a ghost pirate is pretty cool.  150 of these will be released at the convention July 18th from 1-2pm while another 150 will be release online at www.theloyalsubjects.com the same day at 2pm.  

Custom Cadaver Kids from Splurrt x Skinner



   Being dead does absolutely nothing for your figure.  Everything goes all loosey goosey and bugs take up residence to open up their own little buffets.  It's pretty crappy.  But if you're gonna be a dead sack of meat you might as well look the best you can doing it.

   Skinner painted up 10 of Splurrt's Cadaver Kids and they will go on sale tomorrow (July 4th) at noon Pacific time at http://shopcriticalhit.com/.  Decomposition smell not included.
