Frankenmonkey Glow in the Dark version

    I have several of these figures that Atomic Monkey has released.  I have a brown one and a black one, and their little brains come out and they glow in the dark and freak my cats out at night.  Not content with just the brain shining brightly in the dark, now the whole dang monkey glows.  For $45 though, I think this is a figure that customizers rather than collectors will pick up.  My other monkeys have such great detail to them that is missing from this one and that kinda bums me out.  It will be interesting to see what a good artists can turn this blank canvas into.

Super7 Neapolitan Milton Set

    My wife likes ice cream a lot.  No matter how cold it is outside we always manage to make our way to the frozen food section and she always manages to con her way into some, which leaves very little room in the freezer for food that will actually keep you alive.  While not edible, I'm sure she would appreciate this brand new set of Miltons from Super7.  Available in Strawberry, Vanilla, and Chocolate, this Neapolitan bunch can be had individually for $25 per flavor or as  complete set for $70.  You can get your hands on them tomorrow, December 2nd, at noon Pacific time on their website.

GIANTmicrobes: Final 2011 Products

   GIANTmicrobes can make anyone who is mildly afraid of germs (this guy) let his guard down and accept a little illness into his life.  To end 2011, you can now cuddle up with your very own plush Dengue Fever, Fruit Fly, or C. Elegans.  They're $8.95 each and promise not to make you bleed from your orifices or give you raging diarrhea.  Wal-Mart doesn't guarantee those things.  

Toy2R Qee Flash Drives

    I just saw this online and am really shocked these haven't come out before.  Then I was even more shocked when they said it was an "overseas collaboration", which now just means if you really want one you have to not be too lazy and search a bit on the internet.  Go on, you know you'll need a place to store all that stuff you labeled "Taxes 1998" when the Mrs. finally catches on.

Jesse Hernandez Dunny **Update**

    I posted about this about an hour ago and now I can show you what the finished product looks like.  Jesse Hernandez and Kidrobot will be releasing this 8 inch Dunny in December and it looks pretty killer.  I love the feathers going around the head and the overall minimal design (compared to the Jaguar Warrior Dunny) of the figure.  I'm sure in another hour they'll announce the price and edition run, but for now you can marvel at how amazing it is and know that you have to leave someone off of your Christmas list so you can buy it.  I'm sure they were pretty heinous anyway.

Jesse Hernandez x Kidrobot Dunny Teaser

    Jesse Hernandez posted this image on his Facebook page today.  Looks like he and Kidrobot will be teaming up for another 8 inch Dunny.  Can't wait to see what the final product looks like.  

Introducing Creo Design

    I'd love to take credit and say that I did a massive amount of work in discovering the folks at Creo Design, but they in fact found me.  What makes that even better is that the toys they are producing are really cool and different from what I'm used to.  Check out guy above named Lawhill.  He was designed by Akinori Oishi and is based on a place in Scotland that the artist had never actually seen before.  For you history buffs you can read a little about it here.  Creating a character based on the design of a physical place is not something I've seen before and possibly why I find this guy so fascinating.  Check out their store if you're as smitten with it as I am.

   Next year you'll also be able to purchase Chebaka from Russian artist Serg Basargin.  Very minimal design wise, yet it still grabs your attention and leads to many possibilities in the realm of customization.  Hopefully they make a blank one, or create an artist's series, that will allow for different interpretations.
