Jon-Paul Kaiser x Toy2R Capt. Sturnbrau Qee

    We've seen this figure before but never with so much detail.  Jon-Paul Kaiser's instantly recognizable style is all over this version of Captain Sturnbrau and it really brings the character to life.  No word on when he will be released or how much he'll cost, but I'll let you know as soon as I hear.  He makes Johnny Depp look like a wussy.  Well, a bigger wussy I suppose.

Celebrate 10 years of Halo and Minimates

   Halo turned 10 years old this year and Minimates turns 10 next year, so what do you do?  You combine them and create toys ya big dummy (I'm just kidding, I'm sure that was your first guess).  In January you will be able to pick up the figures above at all Toys R Us locations.  The one's below will be available in a special box set for comic shops and other independent retailers.  You should really stop looking at Cortana that way.  We all know she's the hottest hologram in the galaxy, but don't be too creepy about it.  

Mars Attacks Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    I don't think the people that work at Funko believe in vacation time, or paid holidays.  There s no way they can make as many toys as they do with anyone taking a break.  They may never see their families, and may be so pale from a lack of sunlight that their skin now resembles that of a transparent cave worm, but their labor bears great fruit.  For example, check out this Mars Attacks Pop! vinyl figure.  He doesn't come out until January, but that gives you some time to find someone to buy it for you.  

The High Priest of Toby by Gary Baseman x Kidrobot

   Fresh from his secret society inspired mini series, Gary Baseman and Kidrobot have teamed up once again to bring you The High Priest of Toby.  At a commanding 9 inches tall, this charismatic enigma is ready to lead you down the path of enlightenment.... or certain doom, one can never be too sure about these things.  But for $100 you can give it a go and see where he takes you.  There are only 450 of these available worldwide, so get your magic Kool Aid brewing, your track suit dry cleaned, and be ready to snag one of these on December 1st. 

Sucklord "Jerk of Art" Figure

    Leave it to the Sucklord to turn lemons into high priced lemonade.  After being voted off of Work of Art, he immediately posted a photo of this figure online.  It's a cool response to the shafting he got on the show.  No matter what he did, he was always seen as just a toy maker and was never taken as seriously as the other artists involved.  Somehow, I think he'll still get the last laugh, and this is one heck of a start.

Pop! Vinyl Ugly Dolls from Funko

    Funko is really churning out these Pop! vinyl figures like crazy, and in January they're adding Uglydolls to their already impressive roster.  Here's hoping that they run out of ideas soon so they're forced to make a Sanford and Son set of toys.  It could happen.  

Coarse Toys Paw! Raw

   Coarse Toys has decided that because people have enjoyed customizing their Paw! figure (and there are some amazing ones out there) that they needed to bite the bullet and make a blank one.  Available in their webstore now, this blank figure is aimed at stopping artists from painting over their special releases and thus limiting the amount that are available to collectors.  It's a double edged sword because on the one hand, the less there are available means that the remaining products will increase in value.  The flip side of that is that there are fewer of them for collectors to buy up on the secondary market because their original design is compromised.  Well, for $165 toy artists can now paint without the guilt of possibly ruining a limited edition.
