Flat Bonnie Wants You to "Adopt a Plush - Save a Bunny" This Easter

    What the hell is wrong with people that they think giving a kid a live animal as a present is a good idea?  Kids are little terror demons sent to punish us, yet every year at Easter parents have the notion that it would be so cute to get them a rabbit to take care of.  The only way that could be a reasonable thing to do is if the rabbit is virtual and lives in an app on their phone, because God bless you if you can get a kid to pay attention to anything else.  There should be a law, but there won't be because of the Illuminati and stuff, so we're just gonna have to put an end to this practice ourselves.

    Rally behind the army that is Flat Bonnie, who is spearheading this campaign for reasonableness by encouraging people to adopt a plush critter for their kids rather than a real one this Easter.  For a mere $23 you not only can have one of her awesome creations, but a portion of the proceeds will be donated to helping animal organizations.  That's like doing good twice, which is a month's worth for me.

     Now by all means if you're a responsible adult who can afford to take good care of an animal then you should give some lucky little fuzzies a forever home.  Open your hearts, but use your head.  

Skull Head Butt's "Oozi-X" from Kaiju Monster

   You wanna make the world's shortest horror film?  I'm gonna write the story here in this post, all you've gotta do is actually film it.  Let's set the scene:

     A man in wife are in bed together.  She is fast asleep, while he is in and out of consciousness. 

     He opens his eyes, and sees the vague impression of the three above figures in the dark shadows against the wall of their room. Thinking he is in the middle of a dream he closes his and tries to fall back asleep.  

     He opens his eyes once again and now they are closer, surrounding the bed and intently staring at him.  He is allowed a mere gasp before they descend on him.

     The next morning the wife rolls over in bed to awaken her husband and instead of finding him that side of the bed is covered in slime.

                             (This is the point where you applaud and give me an Oscar.)

    This dude from Skull Head Butt ( I love that name) is kinda freaky but thankfully they don't ooze all over the place like they toy they're paying homage to.  I've got enough things leaking around the house without the toys doing it too.  

    These suckers are blind bagged and there's three different colors you could end up with.  Here's how you can get in on the lottery to win the chance to purchase one:

Those interested in bagging the figure are going to need to fire over their name, Instagram name (if you have one), country, shipping address, phone number and PayPal address to kaijumonstergallery@gmail.com before close on Thursday, February 18th… Good luck to all who enter!"

Milkboy x Kenth Toy Works Team up for Nadsat Boy Vinyl Toys and T-Shirts

    If you're going to pay tribute to a cinematic masterpiece, A Clockwork Orange is not a bad one to pick.  And it sure beats making vinyl toys based on Deliverance, which I haven't brought myself to watch but am well aware that I do not want to own any collectibles from a film that is famous for a scene involving the phrase "squeal like a pig."  It doesn't speak to my authentic personal brand.

    Kenth Toy Works and Milkboy have teamed up for a sofubi homage to the ultra violence with Nadsat Boy.  This is no little action figure either, as they stand 12 inches tall and are featured in original white and Milkboy pink.  But lest you think they stopped at just making a killer figure, because they also made t-shirts as well, cause you can't have your shelves looking good while you look like a bum, no can you?

      Now here's how you get your hands on this stuff no matter where you live in the world:

Strawberry Cream Pie Guy from Super7 Wants to Make Your Valentine's Day A Little Sweeter

    There's a little town in Pennsylvania know as Centralia, where for decades a fire in their coal mines has burned underneath the city.  With a nearly endless supply of fuel the fire has rendered the area uninhabitable save for a few people that remain; and upon their death the state will take over the land and prevent anyone from ever entering again.  This perfectly describes my wife's metabolism.  

    She loves sweets but if they ever attempt to put an ounce of fat on her boy her metabolism turns into King Theoden (look it up, punk) and proclaims "you have no power here."  It's quite impressive and has shocked more than one diner waitress.  

    If your significant other has a sweet tooth but you want to get them something that will last longer than an episode Jerry Springer, how about this Strawberry Pie Guy from Super7.  It's a permanent reminder of their love for all things sugar and its just down right adorable.  He's gonna be available starting this Sunday, February 14th, at noon pacific time for only $25.  Maybe you should get a real pie too, just to tide them over until the figure has the chance to arrive to your house.

Harley Quinn as Seen In Arkham Knight from Prime 1 Studio x Sideshow Collectibles

    This is one purrty statue.  I'd be scared to death to own it though, because I know as soon as I unbox it one of my cats is gonna scratch an itch against it and send it crashing to the floor.  And that's just what could happen while I'm watching them.  There's always the distinct possibility that I turn my back only to have them do some resculpting with their teeth.  I'm kind of willing to risk it though because this Harley Quinn is one of the best I've ever seen.  Prime 1 Studio and Sideshow Collectibles have outdone themselves with the world's most adorable sociopath.  Priced at $929, you can see why having my furry little children anywhere near it would make me especially nervous.  But it's also a great excuse to make a baller, uber secure display case that in and of itself is a conversation piece.  Is it too hipster to dig a moat in your living room?

    Preorder this beauty right now from http://www.sideshowtoy.com and it will come with those exclusive Batman and Joker dolls you see.  Medieval means of protection not included.  

"Titanium Edition" Iron Monster from Guumon x Miscreation Toys

    How on earth do you make a freaky looking toy that was born in a burning oil drum filled with nightmares look so dang...pretty?  Guumon applied some serious paint wizardry to these Iron Monsters from Miscreation Toys that almost makes you forget that they look like they want to choke you out.  Instead you are mesmerized by the metallic colors as they dance before you; hiding the great evil underneath.  Or something, I've been dramatic since they upped my meds.  

    These dudes are being released this Friday, February 12th at 7pm pst only at http://autopsybabies.bigcartel.com.
