Kibunadon Fish Kaiju by Teresa Chiba x Max Toy Co.



    I think the most horrifying thing in the world would be a giant kaiju fish rising from the depths of the ocean and destroying where I live.  Because even if it doesn't totally wreck your house and kill everyone you know, good luck trying to get rid of that dead fish smell once the National Guard puts it down.  Have you ever seen those exploding whale videos?  You know, where a whale washes up on the beach, and it sits there letting all the bacteria in its gut multiply and fart until the whole thing just explodes and sends rotten old innards everywhere?  Now picture that happening with something 10 stories tall.  There aren't enough power washers and bottles of bleach in all of America to wash that smell away.  

    This guy is kinda cute and probably smells like a rainbow.   He's the newest kaiju figure from Max Toy Co. and Teresa Chiba.  You can pick one up right now at http://www.maxtoyco.com/ and pray that what I described in the first paragraph never happens to you.  The horror!!!!!!!!

"The Unwound Automaton" Bella Delamere from Doktor A x Arts Unknown x Mintyfresh



    As I am writing this post I am playing fetch with my cat Jorah.  He has this little mouse toy that we call Chew Jackman and he'll drop it then push it towards you when he wants you to throw it.  It's kind of weird for a cat to want to play fetch, but what's weirder is that we never taught him to do this.   He brought it to me when I was trying to sleep one morning and I threw it out of the bedroom hoping he would go behave himself and stop tormenting me (he's famous for practicing Civil War medicine on my wife and I when we are our most vulnerable) and instead he brought it back.  This continued until I wore him out and he decided a nap was in order.  Now I'm having to chuck this thing at an angle so it makes it down the stairs and I have time to type.  

    On a completely different note, here is the latest version of Doktor A's Bella Delamere figure from Arts Unknown.  "The Unwound Automaton" will be going on sale today exclusively from Mintyfresh at 9pm Amsterdam time (which would be 3pm in New York and 12pm in LA in case you were wondering).  Who doesn't love a woman with tentacles?

Toxic Green "Punk's Not Dead" Skelevex Releases Tomorrow



    I know what you're thinking.  You're wondering "Chris, why did you post so late today?"  The answer is because I had to pretend to be an adult and go buy tires.  Pretty useless right?  I'd rather be buying toys and stuff I really want, but instead I dropped $300 on new tires and an alignment to make my car a little less death-trapy.  Being a responsible grown up is crappy. 

    Some days I just want to get a face tattoo and play my guitar until the neighbors call the cops and then I'll be belligerent and get arrested and use my one phone call to order Chinese food that I won't even eat and they couldn't deliver to me in jail anyway.  Damn the man!!!!!!  Or maybe I could shave my head into a sweet mohawk like the Punk's Not Dead Skelevex have.  I don't think I could get my hair to look as geometric though.  The world is unfair I tell you!  

    These go on sale tomorrow (Friday May 30th) at 11pm BDT only through http://skelevex.bigcartel.com/ and are limited to 9 pieces.  


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:
