McSupersize Gold from Ron English x K. Olin Tribu On Sale Now!




    I'm embarrassed to say I have not only seen my first Drake video, but heard my first Drake song.  It's nowhere near my fault though, cause it was on the morning news cause they were making fun of his dance moves.  He does kinda look like someone going through physical therapy after a bad car accident, which is fitting cause the song made me want to drive into a tree.  Maybe his mom didn't believe in vaccines and he's got the early stages of polio setting in.  Serves him right for putting such awful noise out into the world.  

    I bring Drake up because he probably has a lot of money, thus making him a "baller".  But you don't need to sing bad songs to let people know your status, you can just get one of these sweet porcelain figures from Ron English x K. Olin Tribu.  People will walk into your house, spot that amazing gold finish, and know from the get go that you are not to be trifled with.  They might also ask you for a loan, so just be prepared for that.  

   These are limited to 15 pieces and on sale right now via http://www.artandtoys.com/fr/.   

Another One of A Kind Mummy and Sarcophagus Set Celebrating 10 Years of Plaseebo



    The last time I wrote about one of Plaseebo's special Mummy and Sarcophagus sets I told you how I wanted to be an archeologist when I was a wee little lad, but how unpractical I realized it was.  Well, no more than two weeks later what did I see online?  If you guessed a job posting for an archaeologist, you would be correct.  Ugh, if I had only stayed the course, I would have way better stories to tell my wife about how I spent all day in the woods digging up skulls like it was no big deal.  Instead I have to wait around for someone to act like a crazy person before I have anything interesting to relay when I get home.  Luckily, that happens a lot, but still.  

   The aforementioned Plaseebo is celebrating ten years of making crazy toys by releasing these one of a kind sets.  How awesome would this look next to your human skull collection (that I obviously don't have because of bad career choices).  This duo goes up for sale tomorrow, October 23, only at http://www.plaseebo.net.

Seen at NYCC: Tenacious Toys



    Every year Tenacious Toys gets together with a ton of other artists and brands, buys up a chunk of real estate in New York Comic Con, and creates Fort Kick Ass (a totally unofficial name).  On the outside it looks innocent enough, with tables full of toys and people looking to strike up conversation, but it's what's in the middle of it that you don't see that would truly blow your mind.  They have their own sanitation system, fire department, ministry of defense and electric company.  From what I hear they are currently looking for weapons grade uranium to squash threats from unruly anime gangs, but that has yet to be confirmed.  

    All that may or may not be true, as their propaganda department is very good at spinning webs of confusion, but you should check out some pictures here and on our Facebook page of tons of custom toys.  






I Am Hugely Popular in Russia In Case You Were Wondering




    That's Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, who rank second only behind the United States in viewership for this website.  I'm not really sure how these things happen, cause the internet is weird, but I love you all and would welcome an all expenses paid trip to Moscow and one of those scary Siberian dogs that are the size of a bear that I saw on a prison documentary once.  I shall name him Boris and he shall survive on a diet or irritating children from my neighborhood who insist on not getting out of the street any time a car is coming.  They shall rue the day.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer




I'm just gonna leave this here.  

Pimp2-D2's Pimp Speeder from Manly Art



    As someone wiser than me once said, pimpin ain't easy.  Especially in this economy, cause that recession just won't let up.  And then all those intergalactic hoes trying to unionize like they're working in a factory.  If that were the case pimpin would indeed be easy, though I doubt that's what Henry Ford had in mind when he developed the assembly line.  I gotta hurry up and finish this cause I need to go look at some warehouse properties if you know what I'm saying.  

    When you the biggest pimp in the galaxy like Pimp2-D2 is, you gotta have a fly ride with a sexy chauffeur so you can keep an eye on your investments.  And by investments I mean prostitutes.  He sure isn't making any money on real estate, that's a fool's game.  

    This set from Manly Art comes with everything you need to be the boss of your little corner of space.  Decorate your speeder with the included sticker sheet, or keep it plain so the police have a harder time stopping you from handlin' your business.  These go on sale tomorrow, October 21st, at noon CST only at http://manlyart.bigcartel.com.  Only 15 pieces are available, do don't be some live turkey driving your ladies around in your mom's Volvo station wagon.  I still miss that car.

Seen at NYCC: Super7


    You know how you make a triumphant return to New York Comic Con after a few years away?  If you're Super7 you build a massive booth, fill it with tons of exclusives, and then just wait as the huddled masses make their way up and down the aisle, unable to miss the grandeur.  There was a lot to see and a lot to buy, both of which I happily partook in.  You can check out more photos by visiting www.facebook.com/TheToyViking and you can purchase all remaining exclusives at www.super7store.com.
