Unpainted Glow Toxigon Lottery from Mutant Vinyl Hardcore



    How is it everyone that lives in New Jersey doesn't look like this?  This place is littered with toxic waste super fund sites and enough wilderness to hide plenty Hills Have Eyes-looking characters, so maybe we do have our fair share of mutants lurking in the shadows.  If any of those mutants are reading this, please feel free to move to the beaches and live under the boardwalks, where you will be able to eat your fill of seagulls and tourists, both of which are equally as annoying.  Though admittedly, I have never had a tourist poop on my head.  That's not to say they wouldn't though, and I believe in taking a preventative stance.

   You've seen the pictures.  You've been drooling on your internet device for months.  Now you can actually own the latest figure from Mutant Vinyl Hardcore: Toxigon!!!!!!!  And this one is special because not only does he glow in the dark and will light your way to the bathroom when you have to pee late at night, but he's a little different from future releases because the mold was changed after two runs were made.  That will make this guy uber collectable.  The only way you can get one is by winning the chance to purchase it.  There is a lottery open now at http://www.mutantvinylhardcore.com/ that closes just before midnight so you gotta decide quickly on this one.  Go on, you know you want one.

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Trailer




I'd like to sum up how I feel about this with one picture:


Phase4 MADL Variants from MAD Available This Friday



    You know what drives me crazy?  Well, a lot of things do actually, and seeing as how I have to go to work soon, I don't have enough time to tell you them all.  Plus I don't want my therapist to get jealous.  One of the things that drives me bonkers are variant figures that I can never get.  Usually they're packaged blind box and you have to buy 50 of them to get every version, or they're an exclusive to some convention and 90% of them end up on eBay for more than a car payment.  That's why I have such a great appreciation for MAD and what he is doing here.  Sure he made some variant figures of his popular Phase4 MADLs, but he's not making you go broke or insane to get them.  Instead he packaged em all together and will be offering them for sale on his website this Friday, May 30th.  $100 will get you all three and you'll still have the rest of the day to go fishing, or nap, or whatever.  


"My Brother Was a Hero" from Jermaine Rogers x Kidrobot



     I just watched that documentary Terms and Conditions May Apply about our privacy on the internet (spoiler alert: there is none) and how people are using your activity online against you.  Whether it is a potential employer who doesn't share your love for twerking videos, or the police who take your homicidal Twitter rantings very seriously, you are always being watched and what you say can and will be used against you.  That's what makes me a little nervous about this toy.  I've got to do my best to avoid key buzzwords that will put me on some permanent cavity search list every time I even think about traveling.  

     This raccoon has obviously had a bad day and is intent on sharing it with everyone in his immediate vicinity.  Kidrobot and Jermaine Rogers are set to release this critter that's about to go boom tomorrow at Insomnia in Houston, Texas.  Which makes me think the rest of the world will also be able to get their hands on him then.  And there's a brown one too, which is supposedly the regular version and the all black one is the variant.  I'm solving more mysteries than Scooby Doo over here people.  

And oh look, here is the brown one:

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.
