"King of Mischief" Sylvan from Jon-Paul Kaiser x Gary Ham x Pobber Toys




    When you don't live in the city you have experiences that people from a more urban area would have a hard time imagining.  Before you get jealous, most of them aren't what you would call pleasant.  Like the other day when the wife and I were out for a drive and we stop at a light by a large field.  Not far from the roadway we see a dead dear, which is not the most uncommon thing, but then it started moving.  It's dead body shook and jumped all over like a little project from Dr. Frankenstein.  Just before we thought the roadkill zombie apocalypse was upon us a little beagle backed it's way out of the deer's enlarged rear end and grinned at us like he had found an endless supply of beef jerky.  His little tail wagged a mile a minute as he pondered over his great discovery, before diving back in for seconds.  I'll admit, I was much less horrified by the fact that this puppy had gone head first into the rotting butt of a woodland creature than the idea of it being let back into the house and loved on by an unsuspecting family.  Filthy, filthy puppy dog kisses.

    Now this dude is more of what I would expect to find nibbling at the old Roadkill Cafe.  Hell, I don't think he's the kind of guy that would wait for a station wagon to provide his meals for him;  I bet he's more proactive in procuring his dead things.  Jon-Paul Kaiser has added a touch of evil to Gary Ham's Sylvan figure, and he will be making his debut at next weekend's Toy Con UK at The Hang Gang's booth.  Limited to 100 pieces worldwide, Pobber Toys will be giving the rest of us a chance at snagging one soon after.

Help Kickstart Luke Chueh's Dissected with Clutter Magazine x Unbox Industries



    All these years I bet you thought that Bears had special bear-shaped skeletons underneath all that fur.  I bet you wish you paid better attention in biology class cause bears are made with human skeletons inside of them.  I thought everyone knew that but apparently the public education system has once again failed us.  Thankfully Luke Chueh has enlisted the help of Clutter Magazine and Unbox Industries to help spread some learning around the world that is so desperately needed.  This figure is on Kickstarter right now and SURPRISE it's already been funded!!!!  That means that you won't be disappointed when you pledge your cash now cause its guaranteed to happen!  Now the stretch goals are starting to become unlocked, giving you even more cool stuff to go along with your severed head.  Check it out at this link.  

Tongueless Gohst S001 [Fort Burnout - JNGL] from Ferg




    The best wars are the ones you know you can win and in which you will not come out maimed physically or mentally.  I've never been in a real war with like, guns and stuff, but I have gotten quite good at waging psychological warfare at work.  You pick the weakest person, break them down to flex your superiority, then hope that the example is noticed by anyone else who may get in your way. Look, I'm trying to work out my problems but you can't expect change over night.  Or over many years.  I take things slowly.

    If I was going to invade another country for real I'd love to have a couple thousand of these little guys on my side.  At 6 inches tall there would be no issue when it came to infiltrating the enemy, and that face looks pretty ruthless.  We're not taking prisoners here people, this is an annihilation!  I just felt like Patton there for a moment.  I think a trip to the Army surplus store is in my future.

    Ferg is the master of plastic warfare and is unleashing his newest creation this Monday at noon central time.  Build up your army when they go on sale at http://store.projectsquadt.com.

Custom "The Atomic Bunnies" from Cat Atomic x Suburban Vinyl



    I read an article on the Huffington Post the other day about giant bunnies that grow to be 4 feet long and are good to keep as house pets.  They're called Continental Giant Rabbits and I need them in my life.  Just imagine the looks you would get walking a monster bunny on a leash through your neighborhood.  I'd buy him a spiked collar so people thought he was a vicious killer and that I was some sort of mad scientist who grew him from an experiment in my basement.  I really need to update my neighborhood folklore and I think this would do it.  

   How great are these Atomic Bunnies customs from Cat Atomic?  Trick question, cause you can't put into words how great they are.  You can however put a dollar amount on it when they go on sale at Suburban Vinyl tomorrow, and that price is $65 each.  $65?????  That's all???????  You're gonna regret not getting one at that price when this bro is blowing up and Pharell starts collecting him.  




Online Custom Nyagira Show from Max Toy Company Begins Tomorrow


    The internet has forever changed the world for the anti social.  You can do anything from the comfort of your couch and never have to pretend you're uncomfortable around people.  You can hold a job, buy your groceries, pay your bills, and even attend art shows.  Ok, so online art shows aren't just for the anti social, they're also for the geographically challenged.  How many times have you wished you could attend an event only to have it occur on the opposite coast and you with no way to get there?  Never fear, cause Max Toy Company has harnessed the power of wi-fi and binary and other techy stuff to present a Nyagira custom show.  It will debut tomorrow on www.maxtoyco.com and will feature custom kitties from your favorite artists.  Check out a preview with price list at this link.  

New Toys from DC Comics x Kidrobot to Debut Tomorrow




    My poor kitty Wednesday is sick.  She's got really long hair so she frequently gets hairballs and I think she may have one stuck somewhere in her digestive track.  We're going to the vet later today so instead of pacing around the house and making myself sick with nerves I decided to share new toys with you.  

    Back with another sudden release, Kidrobot is unleashing new toys tomorrow based on characters from DC Comics.  There will be a mini series featuring many of your favorites, but the real stars of the show are the Batman and Joker Labbits.  I've been coveting these suckers for well over a year and wouldn't you know it that they come out the day after I have to pay what I'm sure will be a huge vet bill.  I'd do anything for my cats though, so while I may not get them tomorrow, I'm sure I'll get em eventually.  They're both the 7 inch versions and will retail for $59.99, while the mini series of figures will be sold via blind box and will cost $11.99 each.  They will be available starting at 10am MST on www.kidrobot.com.

Batman Dorbz from Funko's Vinyl Sugar Line


   
    Now I for one prefer my Batman a little dark and gritty, but being that I'm no longer a teenager with a closet full of band shirts and a bad attitude (ok, so I got older but the other two still stand) I'm trying to appreciate the cuter things in life.  Like these Dorbz figures from Funko's Vinyl Sugar division.  They totally make me not angry while watching a Subway commercial with that Jarad guy who lost all the weight eating those gross sandwiches.  No one is impressed any more ya idiot!  I mean, no big deal, look how cute these figures are.  Total meltdown avoided.  ( there actually was a Subway commercial on while I typed this by the way.  It's like I've invited you right into my living room without having to awkwardly wait for you to leave).   Pick up these precious little crime fighters and villains this June.
