Moon Seedlings from Taylored Curiosities x Sergey Safonov



    Look how peaceful these Seedlings are.  One is chilling in a boat, taking in all that nature has to offer, while the other little guy is all like "no, you go ahead, I'm perfectly good right here on the shore, where the risk of drowning is the lowest."  He's a bit of a worrier underneath his calm demeanor.  

Taylored Curiosities teamed up with Sergey Safonov to create this limited set of porcelain Moon Seedlings.  Pretty fancy huh?  Add some much needed serenity to you life by visiting http://tayloredcuriosities.bigcartel.com/.

Jason Voorhees Bishoujo Statue from Kotobukiya



    If Jason Voorhees really looked like this, no guy would mind that she was out murdering campers for fun.  And you could totally overlook the fact that she wanted to keep her mother's rotting head in the garage out back.  As long as she didn't kill you and she at least wiped most of the gore off of her before turning in for the night.  Because as a man, you can justify a lot of bad behavior in a woman as long as she's hot.  I'm not saying it's right, I'm merely providing a commentary on the state of the human race.  

    Kotobukiya has just released these photos of their Bishoujo-inspired homage to Camp Crystal Lake's most notorious drowning victim/supernatural revenge killer and the results are pretty stunning.  She's not slated for release until November, but that gives you time to save your monies.   





Semi Korosiya from D-Lux x Cop a Squat Toys



    Has anyone else been watching Fargo on FX?  That show is great, but it's not a really good advertisement for Minnesota tourism.  While all the folks seem nice, the landscape (especially during the winter) seems like somewhere you would be sentenced to after being convicted of a felony.  And yes, I know it's just a tv show, but the place looks depressing.  The government there should scratch up some funds to make a show that's set during the summer so the rest of the world doesn't think that it is the ice planet Hoth 12 month out of the year and the only fun things to do are catch frostbite and murder folks.  Make me love you Minnesota.  

    I think if I had to live there I would have D-Lux come over and paint the inside of my house to combat the drabness outside.  Just look at the job he did on this Semi Korosiya from Cop A Squat Toys.  How could you not be in a good mood looking at this?  Buy one for yourself when they go on sale this Saturday, May 24th, at noon Eastern time from http://dlux.bigcartel.com/.  They are limited to only 8 pieces.

Tyrion Lannister from threezero



    How good is Game of Thrones this season?  It's physically killing me that I can't just watch every episode back to back, because they have ended every one with some pretty sweet cliff hangers.  I watched the first three seasons on DVD in a matter of days and that really spoiled me, cause I could just look at my wife at the end of every episode and get the visual cue for the next one.  This time around I have to quickly change the channel so we don't miss the start of Mad Men, which is like a warm down exercise so we can sleep.  

    Anytime a show is successful there's going to be a ton of merchandise that you'll be able to buy, but no other figure will ever compare to the quality you'll get from threezero.  Sure, they won't be as cheap as something you'd find at Toys R Us, but once you get one in the mail you'll never regret your purchase.  These things feature real clothes, amazing sculpts, and even extra parts to change the look of the toy.  The first figure in their Game of Thrones line is Tyrion Lannister, who pretty much steals the show every time he's in it.  You'll be able to preorder the real savior of King's Landing starting May 26th at 9am Hong Kong time at http://www.threezerostore.com/.  

Little Maddie Kickstarter from Bigshot Toyworks x Tenacious Toys



    I have a confession to make.  I've never backed a Kickstarter before.  I write about them all the time but I've never been able to pull the trigger.  That being said, HOLY CRAP WHERE IS MY CREDIT CARD!!!!!  I've been waiting for this thing for months, and I'm going to take a moment and actually back this campaign right now, in real time, while you're reading this.  Give me a sec......................................................................................................................... Done.  I think that might be the first time that has ever happened on any toy blog.  Look at me, breaking boundaries and whatnot.  Alert the media so I can start doing interviews about how much of a pioneer I was today, to actually back a crowd funded toy as I was in the middle of writing about it.  

   Little Maddie is the brilliant creation of Bigshot Toyworks, combining The adorableness of My Little Pony with the classic tales of H.P. Lovecraft.  They teamed up with Tenacious Toys to start a campaign so this crazed horse can see the light of day.  If this one is successful they already have designs ready for four more that will mimic the four horsemen of the apocalypse.  This needs to happen people!!!!  Go, right now, to this link and fund this project cause I need this toy!!!!!!!!!!!

Lemon Drop Dunny from Andrew Bell x Kidrobot



    Some days you can rack your brain for something witty to say and it just won't come to you.  No matter how long I sit and stare at the screen, my mind is focused on nothing but the Sisyphean task that awaits me at work today.  If only I had a boulder to roll uphill, at least I'd be totally ripped by the end of it.  

    By the end of this week I will have desperately needed to reward myself, if for nothing more than not caving my skull in by beating my head against a wall.  If I make it to Thursday I'm going to totally pick up one of these Lemon Drop Dunnys from Andrew Bell and Kidrobot.  Unlike my current disposition, its bright and sunny and would look marvelous amid the rest of my collection.  It's gonna be a long week, but this can be the light at the end of my dark and frustrating tunnel.

Devilman NapNapNap from Cop A Squat Toys Releases Tonight!



    I can't tell if NagNagNag from Cop a Squat Toys is in the middle of getting robbed or has just jumped out from behind a bush to scare the crap out of someone.  Or maybe he wants a hug.  Or maybe I over think these things because it's pouring rain on my day off and that has depressed me, which leads my mind to wander into the realm of dumb.  

    Who cares what this dude is doing, just know that he is awesome and available for sale tonight at 7pm Eastern time at http://copasquattoys.bigcartel.com/ for $70
