Best Place Ever to Store Your Toys?

    We all struggle with creative ways to display the things we collect, but no matter what we come up with, nothing will ever top this.  Vince likes Lord of The Rings a lot.  Vince likes to buy everything he can related to Lord of the Rings.  Vince had someone build him a Hobbit house so he had somehwere to store his collection.  Click here to watch the video tour of this amazing place.  First though, you might wanna put something over your keyboard to catch all of the drool.

Batman: Arkham City Figures Series 2

    As my wife is well aware, Batman: Arkham City has consumed many many hours of my life.  So much so that I was having dreams about finding Riddler statues and downloading add on content.  It's a sickness that DC Direct is now perpetuating with Series 2 of their figures from the game.  They have the Riddler, The Mad Hatter, Detective Mode Batman, Hush, and Catwoman (who I'm sure will not be popular at all with every toy collecting male).  As always, these figures look amazing (some more than others, **cough** Catwoman **cough**).  But you'll have to wait until April to get your hands on em.  Don't worry though, because Series 1 comes out in a few days and that will help you make it through.  

Skeletal Gummy Bears? You Can Make This Happen!

    Is your mind blown yet just by looking at this picture?  Are you really happy that the candy manufacturers remove the gummy bear bones before they sell you their delicious, fruit flavored bodies?  Are you wondering where you can hunt your own gummy bears and bypass the middle man?
    These anatomic gummy bears were dreamed up by artist Jason Freeny and are really, really cool.  But there's a problem.  Famemaster wants to make these toys, has produced prototypes, and has tried selling them to toy stores at trade shows.  But for some reason, no toy store has gotten on board and placed an order.  No orders equals no manufacturing.  So as toy fans, and reasonably awesome folks, let's take matters into our own hands an insure that these amazing creations become available to us all.  Tell Famemaster that you need these, that you would forsake all others just to be able to own one.  Go to http://www.famemaster.com/enquiry.asp and very nicely tell them how much you love them.  Let's drum up enough interest so that maybe we can at least get a small batch of them made and available to us.  And if you own a toy store and would love to carry these please please please let them know of your interest.

TADO x Creo Design Funghi Release

     Check out these little shrooms from the fine folks at TADO and Creo Design.  What blows my mind about these is that there are only 60 of them available in the world and 35 different color combinations!  This is sure to drive collectors insane, which is never a bad thing.  Each 4 inch figure comes packaged in a signed box and will be available tomorrow, December 16th, on two different websites.  You can get them from the manufacturer at http://www.creodesign.bigcartel.com/, or you can get them from the artists by visiting http://www.tadoshop.bigcartel.com/.  

New Toys From Super7 and Christmas Sale

    Tomorrow is Friday.  Super7 has new toys for you to buy.  You should have seen this coming.

    Check out the special Christmas edition of Honoo by Leecifer.  These come blind bagged, so you may get the regular version on the left, or you may get the pimped out Christmas tree version on the right that is filled with tinsel.  You can take the gamble for $35.

     My favorite toy from Super7 has to be the Mummy Boy.  This version is glow in the dark and has a little bit o pink just because.  He's $50 and like the little tree bros above, will be available Friday, December 16th at noon Pacific time.

   And if you've behaved yourself this year or know someone who has kept you up to date on all the latest toy news while entertaining you at the same time, then you should take advantage of the Super7 BOGO sale.  Just buy one toy and get a second half price.  The new releases above don't count, but they have so much stuff on their website you probably will be broke before you realize what you've done anyway.  The sale starts tomorrow and runs through the 19th of December.

Play Imaginative Tweaks Trexi Design

    Play Imaginative have made a few design modifications to their signature platform toy Trexi.  The greatest thing about this new look is the arms and legs are much more posable than before.  Where you could once only turn a leg from left to right, they now can move front to back, which gives you a little more flexibility in how you display them.  The arms are further apart allowing for a much greater range of motion.  Overall I really like the changes and applaud Play Imaginative for being brave enough to change a figure that designer toy collectors have loved for years.    

DC Little Mates

    Oh my God how have I never heard of these?  They're called DC Little Mates and I want them all.  Evidently these were manufactured by a company in Spain and only available in Europe.  They are 2 and 1/2 inches tall and amazing.  I've been on a serious Batman kick since playing Arkham City, so needless to say all of the Gotham characters are my favorite, but I'd be happy to get any of them.  A bunch of websites have them up for sale for all of us needy Americans, so they're not too hard to find.
