Designer toy creators have been doing this for awhile, but this is the first I've been aware of a major toy company doing subscription packages for big name licensed goods. Mattel is now offering fans a chance to score every figure from their favorite series while also getting a bonus toy that is exclusive to subscribers. You can chose from Masters of the Universe, Ghost Busters, Voltron, or DC Universe and every month you will get a brand new figure in the mail for a pretty reasonable price. It's no panty of the month club, but your mailman will think you're less of a weirdo.
The medical curiosity bug has certainly bitten Toy2r. Presenting their Brain Pattern Qee designed by Emilio Garcia of Jumping Brain fame. Like its anatomical brother mentioned below, this dude glows in the dark, adding that extra something that will most likely drive your cats insane all night. I'm thinking Toy2r should do an entire cabinet of curiosities series so I can really put my antique display case to good use.
Ever wondered what the inner workings of your favorite toy looked like? When we were younger that might have involved cracking one open and then being pissed that is was beyond repair. Now you can gaze in the wonderment that are plastic guts without the regret. Toy2r has released the new visible Qee, complete with all the guts you could ever want. And the innards all glow in the dark. This is an Artoyz exclusive, and being that they're based in France it's not going to be cheap for those of us in America. But at only 200 pieces made, it might be worth the steep conversion rate.
Every year Hasbro creates another My Little Pony for San Diego Comic Con that drives my wife insane until I get her one. The above picture is this year's design, which is a little more edgy than the super hero themes of past cons. This one is looking pretty intense and even has skulls on it! If you want one, don't be suckered by people selling them on Ebay for the price of a German sports car. Hasbro always has plenty left over and available in their online store the week after. Trust me, I've become an expert in pony wrangling. 
Not long after we reported about the new Bossk flash drive, Mimobot announced theirbrand spankin' new series of Star Wars designs. What really stands out about this series is the nifty Han Solo in carbonite carrying case. And of course who could leave out the Colt 45 chugging, intergalactic pimp himself, Lando! Check out the Mimobot website for more info on your new favorite way to store all that sketchy stuff you look at on the internet.
For one reason or another, the characters with the least amount of screen time have become some of the most popular in the Star Wars universe (Boba Fett anyone?), and the bounty hunters are definitely at the top of that list. The latest designer flash drive from Mimobot is none other that everyone's favorite reptilian gun-for-hire, Bossk. And being that all of the big toy news is centered around San Diego Comic Con, why should this be any different you say? Mimobot is allowing people who can't attend the con to put their name on a waiting list by emailing sdcc@mimoco.com for your chance to purchase this piece. 
If you're like me, then you have a soft spot for cuteness of Joe Ledbetter's work. It's adorable and you know it! Now, making their North American debut, Joe Ledbetter x Devilrobots will be unleashing their bunny tofu to fans at San Diego Comic Con. I just want to hug them all, but I know I can't hug ALL the tofu bunnies. 
Doktor A never fails to create insane toys, and Humphry Mooncalf is no exception. The "Dapper" edition of this figure will be on display during San Diego Comic Con at the DKE Toys at booth # 4728. No word on when this will be available for purchase or what the price will be as of yet.
Yet another thing that I desperately need from San Diego Comic Con. Marvel and Gentle Giant have teamed up to unleash the Deadpool Squirrel statue on the world. This little rodent assassin is $30 and is limited to 500 pieces, so get to Gentle Giants booth #3513 before the millions of other people willing to kill for one.
The long rumored and often leaked Kidrobot x Swatch collaboration will finally become available to the world on September 1st. Collectors will be able to purchase a watch and matching 3 inch Dunny from Joe Ledbetter, Gary Baseman, Frank Kozik, Mad, Tara Mcpherson, Jeremyville, Tilt, or SSur for $70 per set. There is also a mega collection that includes all of the watches and Dunnys, plus a special 20" Dunny from Frank Kozik all housed in a metal case for $1500. You'll be able to snag these sets at www.kidrobot.com, www.swatch.com and both of their retail stores.
Tonner kicked off their brand new series of Marvel figures last May when they released the Scarlet Witch and Captain America dolls. Both of them quickly sold out, but they did save some of the Captain for this year's San Diego Comic Con. Clad in his Golden Age attire, each figure is hand painted and will be extremely limited. If you're interested and are attending the convention, you may want to make booth # 4149 your first stop.
Starting today and running through Friday July 15th, for every $4o you spend at Tenacious Toys you'll get a free Cold Day in Hell 3" Trexi from Joe Ledbetter. Hurry up and buy!
Fresh from his two Zombie Biker figures in the Dunny 2011 series, Mad returns with an 8 inch version that is just as hell bent on breaking the law. He comes complete with all the essentials you need for a successful jewel heist, even down to the goods hidden under his hat.
What a fitting first post! On July 21st Kidrobot will release this viking themed take on their iconic mascot. Designed by The Beast Brothers, this guy is a take on the popular internet video "Techno Viking." There is also a cool 1 in 6 chase version in a different color scheme. You have a few weeks to save your kronor cause this one will set you back $50.
