Lilith from Death Cat Toys



    This toy is called Lilith.  It is a nekkid lady contorted to form a demon's head.  I imagine that people who use LSD and end up in psych wards see stuff like this and it drives them over the edge.  These are the creation of a tattoo artist by the name of Johan who works under the label Death Cat Toys.  The only way to buy one is to email him at xjbubloodx@aol.com.  It's all kind of clandestine, like you're an international toy buyer who only collects rare pieces from the black market.  I need to get out more.  

Minty Fresh Exclusive Mono Deathshead S'murk from David Flores x Blackbook Toys



    Don't worry, this S'murk doesn't actually have mono, it's referring to the paint scheme.  There's already enough places in the world that you can get diseases and thankfully toys are not one of them.  There's public bathrooms, sketchy deli meats, your mom: the list goes on and on.  

    This little guy was made by David Flores and Blackbook Toys and is an exclusive to Minty Fresh.  Only 50 pieces were made and they are available right now at http://www.mintyfresh.eu/.

Sons of Anarchy Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko



    Before we get started here, if you haven't watched the latest episode of Sons of Anarchy you might want to stop reading right now, cause I'm gonna spoil the crap out of it for you.  Not that I will feel bad about it mind you, because your butt should have been firmly planted on your couch Tuesday night and watching it.  What were you doing instead?  Were you out with your knitting group, making blankies for your mamas?  

    Now that we got that out of the way, HOLY CRAP I NEED EVERY ONE OF THESE!  Funko has outdone itself with these Sons of Anarchy Pop! Vinyl figures.  These are just the first of hopefully many to come, as there are so many variations they could do.  They could make Clay as a glowing ghost like at the end of Return of the Jedi, or prison love Otto, or they could make a two pack of dead hookers so you can set up authentic dioramas based on scenes from the show.  The possibilities are endless my friends.  They come out on January 7th, which is approximately the date I will stop crying after this season ends.

Glow In the Dark Sinners from Seriously Silly K Release Tomorrow



    If the Discovery Channel still aired shows that were informative, and not just crap about people never finding gold, or that Amish Mafia nonsense (really, as soon as they open their mouths I can't help but laugh, so who are they scaring?)  then you would know that all goats listen to metal.  It's proven fact, you can go and ask Sir David Attenborough, whose controversial documentary "Head Banging Farm Animals" is hard to find, but highly informative.  

    Seriously Silly K didn't invent goats, or heavy metal, but she did create a stunning tribute to both in her Sinner figures.  Word has it she won't be making too many more of these, and once the head mold breaks, she plans to retire it.  So you better get on the ball tomorrow when she releases these limited glow in the dark versions.  You can sit them next to you in the dark while you listen to your Judas Priest records backwards to learn Rob Halford's secret pumpkin pie recipe.    




Peter Kato to Release New Figures Tonight!



    We are now only 1 week away from Thanksgiving, which means Christmas is hiding around the corner ready to ambush us.  I used to make fun of people who waited until the last minute to shop, cause it's not like you don't know it's coming,  but now that I don't work retail and I'm not bombarded by the holidays it's been much easier to slack off and become a last minute shopper.  But forget waiting in line at Wal Mart for hours to buy the people on your list something crappy that they won't even take out of the box and will forget about until years later when they get ready to move and decide to hide it in the attic for the next tenant to find.  Give em something nice, something that was made with love.  And plastic. 

    Peter Kato will be releasing some new figures tonight just in time for you to buy for your favorite toy collector.  And everything you see it ridiculously affordable.  Priced from $10-$15, these little guys are extremely limited, so keep an eye on http://peterkatoshop.com/ for the moment they go on sale tonight.

Resin Ludwig Busts from Frank Kozik



    The worst thing about being a tiny piano collector is trying to find things to put on top of them to add a sense of the dramatic.  I would guess, as I don't have any tiny pianos, nor do I know anyone that does.  But if I were to have tiny pianos, I would want these Ludwig busts from Frank Kozik to adorn them.  Ol Ludwig gets the Clockwork Orange treatment in these 4 inch resin creations that come in both clear and...orange.  I said orange twice in that sentence, which drives me mad.  Of course I could have corrected it, but instead I will complain about it, thus giving you more to read.  Both are editions of 50 and will cost you $40 each, but that is a small price to pay to be able to decorate your tiny or regular sized piano with the watchful eyes of inspiration.  Pick em up at www.frankkozik.net.
