Retro Outlaw Moving Sale Starts Tonight



    Moving sucks.  It's like some sick form of torture to prove to you how much useless stuff you have.  The last time we moved I thought about just throwing everything out and starting fresh, just so I didn't have to box it up and load it onto a truck.  I've moved a lot in my life and I've just kept a lot of things in boxes because it's too much work to unpack it.  One day I'll have a great time digging through it all and trying to remember where it came from.  

    Retro Outlaw is moving to a new studio and need your help to lighten their load.  Starting tonight they're gonna have a 5 day long sale that will include their uber popular Evel Fett figures for only $100 each, $10 t-shirts, and a bunch of other discounted things you're gonna beg your momma to buy you.  And every purchase over $50 gets entered to win a special 1 off Evel Fett in Carbonite:


Check it out later tonight at http://retrooutlaw.com/.

Two Much! Special Edition Kits from Dirty Donny



    I used to try and build models as a kid.  Well, I tried once actually to put a Dodge Viper together and ended up glueing most of the small parts to my hands.  In the end, the car kinda sagged in the middle, the tires didn't roll right, and the engine didn't have all of the necessary pieces you would need in real life to make it work.  It was a hooptie.  As I've gotten older I've kind of wanted to give it a try again and this would be exactly where I would want to start.

    Look at this pile of loot from Dirty Donny.  Not only do you get a sweet monster model kit from AMT in the package (signed on the box), but you get an air brushed tote bag, a record he compiled and released himself that has long sold out, and a ton of other goodies all for only $100.  If you wanna get one of these you gotta act fast and email dirtydonny@gmail.com to get one.  And this is only for US residents, so make some American friends real quick if you live elsewhere.

Kronk x Pobber Toys Bad Ass "Snowflake" Edition for Minty Fresh




    This is my favorite colorway of the Bad Ass figure from Kronk and Pobber Toys.  Maybe it's because I like the winter and this dude totally looks like an abominable snowman.  Or maybe it's because it's the "Snowflake" edition and he looks like he is serving 25-life on a murder conviction.  The name "Snowflake" will never have the innocence of a small puppy dog anymore. 

     This convict-looking monkey is limited to only 50 pieces and is an exclusive to everyone's favorite designer toy store in the Netherlands, Minty Fresh.  He goes on sale tomorrow and you can check out the handy time zone listing for your part of the world in the picture up there.  Ain't it nice when things are easy.       



Alex Pardee's Bunnywith Affinity for Slave Women Exclusive for Rivet Gallery



    Ooooooooooh sparkly!!!!  By now you've all seen Alex Pardee's tribute to one Jabba the Hut with his ever popular Bunnywith figure, but you have yet to see one so FABULOUS (imagine my voice rising a few octaves when I typed that).  Rivet Gallery is the only place you can get this exclusive clear purple figure with little metal flakes strewn throughout.  Doesn't he look like he just had the best time at the Lady Gaga show?  These go on sale at noon today at Rivet's brick and mortar store and online at http://rivetart.com/.

Designer Con Exclusives from DeKorner Available Online Now



    Designer Con has come and gone but there's still exclusive stuff you can buy even if you weren't able to be there in person.  DeKorner has some killer toys available on their website right now, like this yellow Bunnywith from Alex Pardee.



Or this yellow and purple reticulated dice set from Carson Caitlin.



How about an Evil Smurk from David Flores?



Or get a bunch of little dudes in this yellow OMFG series 3 set. 


I've actually neglected to say anything of nonsensical value in this post.  I must be getting sick.

Horror Movie Pop! Vinyls from Funko





    I know Halloween just passed, but for any of you just starting your Christmas shopping (me) the horror continues well into December.  I have some vague ideas of what I plan to get my wife, but so far I haven't acted on them yet.  Usually I'm well ahead of the game and pretty much done by now, but this year I've slacked a bit.  I'm trying to add more mental danger to the holidays, or something.

    On November 12th Funko is releasing a new round of horror movie themed Pop! Vinyls.  I am so addicted to these things it's not even funny.  We went to Barnes and Noble the other day and I scored the classic Batman and Catwoman figures for only $8.95 each.  They're great spur of the moment purchases to help you get that plastic fix.  You know the one I'm talking about; where you're on the internet, browsing all the cool stuff you want but know you shouldn't spend your whole paycheck on.

Bad Juju Brands at Designer Con



  
    Normally, I'm an avoider of anything that might contain bad juju.  Monkey paws, voodoo, Miley Cyrus albums; the list is pretty extensive.  It's served me well as I have yet to be possessed by any evil entities, other than that time I ate at Golden Corral's buffet and it felt like were trying to escape me sideways.  I don't care how affordable that food is, don't eat there unless you have a priest and a port-a-potty next to you at all times.  

    Bad Juju Brands is out to change how I feel about those two little words that invoke caution of supernatural proportions.  Like everyone else in the world but me, they'll be at Designer Con this weekend with a ton of exclusive stuff that you're gonna want.  Let me tell you about two of my favorites.

    Numero Uno:  The Orange Dripple resin figure from Sket One.  You know resin is looking good when you wonder what it tastes like, cause that sucker looks like candy.  Now I don't recommend you go around liking your toys because for one you'll look like a crazy person, and for two they might be toxic.  But hey, who am I to stop you from having a good time?  They made 100 of these little dudes strictly for admiring with your eyes and not your mouth.

    Numero Dos:  The Clear Blue Calaverita by The Beast Brothers.  Anytime I see anything in clear blue from now until the end of my days all I will be able to think about is Breaking Bad.  It's infected my blood.  Don't try and smoke this skull though for the same reasons I already listed above.  Only 30 of them were made so be quick about it if you want one.  

Get these and more at booth #101.
