Transformers Rainmakers Box Set from The Loyal Subjects

    In our world, "making it rain" involves a stack of one dollar bills being thrown at scantily clad women in businesses of ill repute.  In the world of the Transformers, it is a viable defense tactic used by the Decepticons when fighting the Autobots.  Not the most environmentally friendly thing they could have come up with, but they are the bad guys after all.

    The Loyal Subjects continues their successful line of Transformers toys with this Rainmaker 3 pack. These are on sale now for $45 and are an edition of 500.  Get yours from https://www.theloyalsubjects.com/.

Albuquerque Action Squad from Citizen Brick

    Citizen Brick makes all the cool things you want really badly but you know that Lego will never actually make.  You may have seen that cool RV meth lab that they put out last year that caused quite a stir and sold out almost immediately.  Well, now you can add some more characters from the show it was based on to your collection with this Albuquerque Action Squad 3 pack. If you want them you better act quick because they won't last long.  And these are quality manufactured too, not hand painted or crappy stickers.  These are made just like the real deal.  Check their website out for more stuff you're gonna need at http://citizenbrick.com/. 

"Bleu De Four" Porcelain Skull Brain from Emilio Garcia x K. Olin Tribu

    Way back in the 1980's there was this movie called Beastmaster that I loved as a kid.  Next to the Star Wars films and Clash of the Titans, this was my jam.  In that movie there were these creatures that had faces kinda like this and these giant bat wings that they would wrap around people to eat them in sort of a weird, digestive hug.  

He just wants to cuddle.

   These things really freaked me out and the Skull Brain has brought those memories of hiding beneath my bunk bed screaming into the present.  This porcelain version of Emilio Garcia's creation was made by the folks at K. Olin Tribu and is available right now.  Even though it freaks me out I do really like it because it is so simple yet striking all at the same time.  I would, however, ensure that my cabinet was securely locked ever night before going to bed lest this decide that I looked delicious.

Takoshi from Yakimon x Toy Art Gallery

    This is my first post of 2014.  I didn't do any "best of 2013" lists or make any new year's resolutions because I was busy yesterday buying cat litter and frozen pizza.  While that didn't take all day, I spent the rest of my time learning who was and was not the father of every child in America courtesy of daytime television.  I'm not proud of this.  So since I should make a resolution, in 2014 I would love to see more people wear squids as helmets.  If you ride a motorcycle, work construction, or just fancy yourself an astronaut, I'd like to see you give this new trend in head protection a try.  

    Ok, so maybe wearing a squid to keep your skull in tact isn't the smartest of options, but look how good Takoshi looks with his cephalopod head piece.  It's called fashion, people.  Look it up.

    Toy Art Gallery has produced this creation from Yakimon and it is ready to stand on your shelf starting his Friday, January 3rd.  They go on sale at noon Pacific time for $125 only at http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.

   

Skull Bomb from Jason Freeny x Mighty Jaxx Dropping January 2nd

    If this is any indication of how many cool things are going to come out in 2014 then I'm gonna have to go ahead a find a good bankruptcy attorney.  How cool is this?  The answer is "very cool".  Jason Freeny and Mighty Jaxx got together to create this Skull Bomb that releases world wide on January 2nd.  For a mere $79 (can I borrow $79?) you can be one of 100 people to own this solid resin sculpture that would probably cause a slight panic if you tried to take it through airport security.  Get one for yourself by visiting http://www.mightyjaxx.bigcartel.com/ and start thinking of some really good answers for all of the questions you'll be asked in that dark little airport security room as some government agent snaps his rubber gloves on.  

We're a Hit in the Ukraine!!!!!

    I love looking at where my readers are from.  Today I learned that after the United States, most of my readers are from the Ukraine!!!!!  I had no idea that they liked toys so much over there or that they were learning about them from my humble website.  I love you all and am prepared to star in all of your future movies and tv shows.
