Art Giants from Kidrobot




    If I had stupid money, like the kind of money that would make me buy an alpaca farm, I would buy one of these.  We've all seen the giant fiberglass Labbit stools and of course I want those, but I'm really gonna need one of these 4 foot tall Dunnys.  Kidrobot has decided to offer up these guys that were previously only used as store displays.  Each one is hand made to order and takes about 3 months to produce.  And if you live in the United States they'll ship this or the stools to you for free.  The Dunnys come in a few different colors, but that may be too boring for you, so they will even help you get your favorite artist to customize it.  That won't be cheap, but if you have $4,999.99 to plunk down on a giant toy I doubt that you'll blink at paying a hefty price to get it painted up.  The stools are a little cheaper at $999 for you ballers with a budget.  I wonder why they made them stools and not just regular Labbit figures?  Not that I can afford to buy one anyway, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask the hard questions.  

Monster Worship to Release Remaining SDCC Exclusives Online Today



    No, this isn't a picture of all of your mom's old boyfriends.  This is a picture of Monster Worship's exclusives they had available at San Diego Comic Con.  What, you didn't go to comic con?  Yeah, me neither, but we're all in luck because they have some remaining stock and they will be for sale tonight at 7pm Eastern time at http://www.monsterworship.com/.  Studies have proven that buying cool toys makes you live longer and makes you more attractive to women.  I offer up proof in the form of me not being dead and my wife being a stone cold fox!  Behold the wonders of science!

Red Edition of Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser from Toy Art Gallery Releases Today!


    Can you sprain your eyeball?  I think I might have.  See, I got sucked into that whole Candy Crush nonsense and I think I played it until I sprained my right eye.  I woke up this morning, ready to share my wealth of secret toy knowledge and overall general insight into the workings of the world when I noticed my eye was literally sore.  I think my addiction to that silly online game has come to a head.  I'll be expecting an intervention soon.  Be gentle.

    Hopefully my eye doesn't split open and reveal that something like this has been chewing on my optic nerve like a Twizzler.  This red edition of Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser will release today at 12pm Pacific time from Toy Art Gallery.  He's a pretty sinister looking bro.  Get one for yourself by going to http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.

Win A Custom Cavey While Supporting Leukemia and Lymphoma Research




    Every once and awhile my wife and I will go to the pet store, buy a load of cat food to donate at the local animal shelter, and sit and play with the cats for a few hours.  The one we go to is a no-kill facility, so many of the animals live there permanently due to age or disability.  They get some fancy canned food and we get a lap full of cats.  It's a win win if there ever was one.

    You don't see to many charitable endeavors involving the world of designer toys, so that makes this extra cool to see.  A Little Stranger has customized her Cavey vinyl figure to help raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma research.  Raffle tickets are available now at www.heycavey.com and they will also give you a chance to win standard release Caveys as second and third prizes.  Help out a good cause and win some toys in the process.

Hello Kitty Halloween Figures from Funko

  




    Who doesn't love Hello Kitty?  I'll tell you who...sociopaths and communists, neither of which you want as your neighbors.  Hello Kitty can make even the most jaded of souls smile, especially when she dwesses up in her wittle costumes.  Just imagine how cute I looked saying that.  

    Funko has harnessed the cuteness in these new Halloween mini figures.  They come blind boxed, so it's  like gambling but without the need for an intervention.  And who cares which one you get cause they're all gonna make you warm and fuzzy inside.  





    For you non-risk takers they also made these bigger toys that you can pick and choose which ones you get.  Or just buy them all cause you'll just regret it later if you don't.  All of them come out on August 8th.
