threezero's 1/6 Scale Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad





   Life is easier to fully enjoy when you keep meth dealers out of your house.  Not that I've had the occasion to invite or not invite meth dealers over, because I've never known one.  But if I did, I'd have to be like "look bro, I'm cool with chillin at the food court, maybe grabbing some Sbarro, and checking out the H&M sale, but you can't come over."  See cause folks that sell meth have to have people to buy it, and those people really don't need to know where I live.  I'm not down with extras from The Walking Dead trying to steal my tv or bum money off of my cats.

    That Jesse Pinkman guy from Breaking Bad seems like a pretty cool dude, but rules to live by are not meant to be broken.  Though I would made an exception for this ultra detailed toy from threezero. Despite the fact that it looks amazingly life-like, I don't think the DEA is gonna pressure me to turn informant on an action figure.

    Like every threezero figure, ol Jesse comes with plenty of accessories to live out that life on the edge, like a gun and fat stacks of cash.  Speaking of cash, you can spend yours preordering this figure on Friday, August 21 at 9am Hong Kong time from www.threezerostore.com.

Breaking Bad Pop! Vinyls from Funko



    Breaking Bad ended as perfectly as any show could, but now Bryan Cranston has hinted that since we never actually know whether or not Walt is actually dead that there could be more episodes in the future.  I really really really hope he was just trying to stir the rumor mill for his own amusement, because that could be a terrible disaster.  I hate when people can't leave well enough alone (I'm looking at you George Lucas) and end up ruining the memory of something great.  

    If you want more Breaking Bad story lines, just buy all of these figures and make up your own.  You can continue the madcap adventures of Walt and Jesse as they create that popular blue stuff and get everyone around them killed.  These Pop! Vinyls from Funko will be available starting in July and you can preorder them from Entertainment Earth by clicking on the link to the right.

Breaking Bad Challenge Coins from Mezco




     Breaking Bad is the best show ever in the history of tv so just stop watching tv if you've already seen it because nothing will compare to it and you'll be sad and constantly wonder what Walter White would have done in every show.  You'll be watching Project Runway and Heidi Klum will send someone home, and you imagine Walt looking at her with all seriousness as he says "I'm the one who auf wiedersehens" and pulls something from his pocket and blows the place to hell.  I just made that show a thousand times better.

    When they were filming Breaking Bad the producers would give out challenge coins at the end of each season to reward the cast and crew.  Mezco has taken that idea and made some that you don't actually have to mortgage your house to afford.  There are only 4 designs left (one sold out pretty quickly) and they are being sold exclusively through 3 different retailers.  The pink bear is an exclusive to Fugitive Toys,  the car wash one is sold through Big Bad Toy Store, and the Saul Goodman and chicken joint coins are available from Vegas Dead Dolls.  Get em quick or be sad forever.

Breaking Bad Custom Androids by Evilos at Designer Con



    Even though Breaking Bad ended about as perfectly as you can hope for, I still miss it.  Thankfully, the show had inspired legions of artists to add their creative spin to just about every aspect of it.  Like those now infamous barrels that contained the key ingredient to the entire meth empire.  Evilos has recreated them faithfully on the Android toy platform and will be selling them this weekend at his Designer Con booth.   You get the toy and a limited edition t-shirt all for $75, but only 5 sets exist so you'll have to be quick to snag one.  Check them out at booth #421.

Breaking Bad Pink Teddy Bear Eye Keychain from Mezco



    Maybe I've been a little obsessed with Breaking Bad recently.  My wife and I powered through the entire series in two weeks and are now completely up to speed with the new episodes.  We added it up and we watched two days worth of television.  Two days!!!!!  It was worth it though as it is the greatest  show I've ever seen.  And it's proven helpful in real life too, as I remind my coworkers who piss me off that I could get a giant plastic barrel and a couple bottles of acid and fix any disagreement we may have.  Suddenly, I seem to be getting my way more and more.  

    I am more stoked about this keychain than any other keychain that's ever existed.  Even more so than that Spuds McKenzie one I begged my mom to buy me when I was little.  I didn't care that is said Bud Light on it, I just liked the dog.  


(This is the exact one I convinced her to get me that just went unsold on eBay.  For some reason I was not allowed to take it to school.)

    Mezco will have this pink teddy bear eye available at New York Comic Con in October.  If you can't go they do have a limited amount available to order through their website.  And it's only $7.47!!!!! I'm guessing the price is based on the Boeing 747s that crashed together and dropped this guy and other debris into Walter White's pool.  I told you I'm a bit obsessed.

The Greatest Lego Set That You Can't Ever Have



    This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.  The fine folks at Citizen Brick take it upon themselves to make things that Lego wouldn't ever produce, such as these Breaking Bad inspired build sets.  They're long sold out, and caused a ton of people to be all butt hurt about how inappropriate they were for kids.  For one, if you're young kids are watching Breaking Bad to begin with there's more you need to worry about than toys.  And two, these suckers weren't cheap and I don't think eight year olds have jobs or credit cards, so the danger of them actually getting one is about as high as me buying the new Kanye West cd.  




    Maybe if enough of us beg and plead enough Lego will start a new division of their company that caters to the older collector.   They could make a Sons of Anarchy line, or Game of Thrones, or the Charlie Manson thrill kill playset.  The possibilities are endless.  Come on Lego, there's tons of us old folks that would go crazy for this stuff.  

    And for those of you that start your Christmas shopping early, I want this guy from the Citizen Brick website:

The Meth Lord from Blockheads Toys



    Personal Breaking Bad update:  I am now into season 5.  It's taken a lot of hard work and I've had a great team supporting me through these few weeks of watching the entire series.  Two days worth of my life have now been signed over to Netflix and I regret nothing!!!!!!!!!  Surprisingly enough I didn't need to actually use meth to stay up all night and watch episode after episode.

    You know what I love?  Ok, you may not and that's probably for the best incase the cops ask you, but one thing is when someone takes a classic character and lends their artistic interpretation to it.  The Meth Lord from Blockheads Toys is that kind of toy that makes me happy to write about.  They've created ol Heisenberg out of the very substance he created and that has taken over his life.  He is consumed by it; by the money it makes him.  It's genius and you can own one of these in either "Heisenberg's Stash" or glow in the dark versions.  Preorder one of these suckers right now by visiting http://blockheadstoys.bigcartel.com/.

Green Hazmat Suit Walter White By Mezco for NYCC


    I've just recently started watching Breaking Bad and am currently in the midst of the third season.  I resisted for a long time because I'm always nervous to start a new tv show.  What if I hate it and it takes me 45 episodes to realize how dumb it is?  What if it gets too corny, like True Blood did for me (Seriously, they should just call that show "Man Butt" or how about "No Dude Here Ever Wears a Shirt").  But I do love Breaking Bad and Walter White is one of the best characters in tv history.  How can you not wanna be this guy?  Well, I don't really want to make meth, or have people trying to kill me, but the cash flow is pretty sweet.  And he gets to realize his inner heathen.  

    Mezco has made 500 of these green hazmat suit editions and they will be available at New York Comic Con this October.  The online presales are already gone, so if you're not going to the con you better find yourself a mule cause this is one bad toy.

Two More Summer Exclusives from Mezco




    You know what drives me insane?  Well, a lot of things do, but this time of year what really makes me want to jump off the roof (and I'm scared of heights, so this is a big deal)?  All the cool stuff that releases at San Diego Comic Con that I can't buy.  I mean, I could buy it, because people usually post things on eBay while they're still waiting in line for them.  But I'm not a rich man.  I can't pay those kind of prices.  So I just stay mad for a few months, try to wait for the hype to die down, and then still pay way to much for them.  Mezco knows how it is.  Sure, if you're going to SDCC you could buy these figures, but if you're not then just preorder these suckers right now and have em delivered to you like a pizza.  Brilliant!
  
    You could get this Walter White figure from Breaking Bad right this instant.  He's sporting a pretty nifty hazmat suit and comes with some essential meth making accessories.  Just remember kids, even the best hazmat suit won't save you when your trailer park lab blows sky high, so be careful with those chemicals.  Nothing cramps a thriving drug business like your production facility burning up with the fire of Hades.  

    Or you could order this Cheetarah and Snarf 2 pack from the Thundercats.  It is a well established fact that no one in the cartoon world wears a leotard the way Cheetarah does.  That kinda sounded creepy now that I'm thinking about it.  Such is life.  

    Both of these are available for preorder right now at http://www.mezcotoyz.com/.
