Fortune Teller CNY Edition from Paul Shih

     Putting faces on delicious snack food would probably be a great campaign to get people to eat better.  You could put all sorts of food critters in one of those ASPCA commercials with the sad music and everyone would be too heartbroken to ever eat cupcakes again because their pathetic little expressions are forever burned into your brain.  Not that it would stop me, because I love cookies too much to let their crying eyes put me off of desert.  I'm getting hungry thinking about it.

    Paul Shih is getting back in the toy game with these adorable Fortune Teller cookie dudes.  These are painted up to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year and wil be available Wednesday, January 25th at 2pm pacific time.  They are limited to only five pieces and priced at $45 each plus shipping.

New WWE Pop Vinyl from Funko

    Ooooooooh I love me some wrasslin.  I'm on a sports entertainment high note, because in a few weeks I'm gonna see NXT two nights in a row and I just found out Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling are going to be in Philadelphia in May, which will be amazing.  I'm already too pumped and may have to go hit a neighbor with a steel chair.  

    Before I go and commit felony assault I'll tell you about the newest WWE superstars to be immortalized in Pop Vinyl form by Funko.  There's Kane, which I would have preferred the full mask  version, but that's just me being a nerd, and Shawn Michaels, who is to blame for me wanting to deliver "Sweet Chin Music" to every irritating soul I come across.  Believe me, they deserve it.

    These are both Walgreens exclusives so start looking for your nearest one now.  

Red Glitter King Negora from Max Toy Company

    Cats are already pretty sure they rule the world, so imagine how inflated their egos would be if they were also sparkly.  They would take it as proof of their divinity and probably make us clean up their waste, or get up in the middle of the night to play with them, or any number of other activities that makes us their servants.  Wait a second...

    I love my kitties though, probably more than is deemed socially acceptable, but I think they're the best.  And there's no better way to honor them than by filling your home with plastic statues in their likeness such as this King Negora from Max Toy Co.  This 10 inch tall kitty is shiny like a diamond and available for pre order right now for $150.  Secure yourself one before they're all gone by visiting www.maxtoyco.com.  

The Magma Coolie Gnaw from Plaseebo

    This dude is looking swole, like he's about to run Hulkamania wild on you!!!!  There's nothing you can do, because once the Magma Coolie Gnaw has flexed on you it's time to throw down.  This beast from Plaseebo can be your eternal sparring partner when he goes on sale today (Wednesday, January 18th) from www.plaseebo.net.  I hope you've been saying your prayers an eating your vitamins.

The Prisoner from Luke Chueh X Munky King

    Is there a more fitting toy for our times?  Half of us are on some type of medication, the other half probably should be, and we're all held captive by the evil pharmaceutical industry that not only controls our government but our very ability to exist.  It's not all petting kittens and sipping lemonade here folks; there are hard truths to be found on these pages.

    Luke Chueh and Munky King are set to release The Prisoner today at noon pacific time.  It's a little bear inside a little bottle of Vicodin and it's fun for the whole family!!!  On a serious note I'm glad to see a designer toy really tackle something heavy and not just rely on being a cutesy character.  Not that I don't enjoy that stuff, but I also like art that is challenging and at times uncomfortable and I think that is an area that is desperately underserved in our little niche corner of the world.  This feels like something I would pay admission to go see rather than something I could actually own myself.  But I could and so can you later today (Tuesday, January 17th) at www.munkyking.com.

Dark Cosmos Edition Gacha Set from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery

   Look at these tiny Paul Kaijus!!!!!!!!  Aren't they just the sweetest little things?  This is known as the Dark Cosmos Edition of his popular gacha series and speaking of outer space I think it's high time the aliens went ahead and revealed themselves and invade our planet for better or worse.  Would we even bat an eyelash at this point if a UFO landed on the White House lawn, or would it just be a labeled as "fake news" and brushed aside like everything else is?  Or maybe they're already here and they're much crueler than we could have ever anticipated.  I already feel like we're gathered at the base of a space craft, waiting for the door to open and reveal whatever our fate will be.  Maybe I should skip the next Twilight Zone marathon.

    Toy Art Gallery will have this set of critters available beginning tomorrow, Friday the 13th, at noon pacific time.  You better get them now before we are all forced to work in the salt mines on a far away planet that doesn't have WiFi.

New Wootmumski and Wootkowski Figures from Scott Wilkowski x Woot Bear

    I attempted to say the title of this post out loud and thank God I was home alone otherwise my wife may have called an ambulance thinking I was having a stroke.  I did get a little light headed, but I'm no worse for it so let's soldier on.

   Scott Wilkowski and Woot Bear are poised to release what looks like a veritable butt ton (it's part of the metric system) of new little mascot dudes.  Not only will there be the standard one featuring both solid and infected editions, but this will also mark the debut of a mummified version who will also come in the previously mentioned forms.  These will be available in their store in San Francisco and online beginning tomorrow (Friday, January 13th) at noon pacific time.
