You Should Be Our Facebook Friend

You see that box over there to the right--------->  You should be our friend on Facebook, cause sometimes I post different, funny, stupid things that you may not want to miss.  Be the envy of your friends and give that old "Like" button a click.  You'll feel better once you do.

Ooze Bat from Super7


    Just when I get used to something it goes and changes on me (George Lucas I'm looking at you).  Super7 has now decided to release their toys on Thursdays instead of Fridays, so I'm a day late on this post.  But check out the Sherbet Swirl Ooze Bat from Chanmen.  It's made of pink and lime vinyl thats been mixed together to create a very cool effect.  How do they do it?  Magic I suppose.  He's available now for $55.

Humphrey Mooncalf Leprechaun Edition



    This may be the least scary Leprechaun I've ever seen.  He looks like he's ready for a good night on the town, maybe he'll take in a local production of Les Mis, or dine on a gourmet meal while firming up his plans to run for mayor.  Thank God he doesn't look like that creepy little man that was in the Leprechaun horror films.  He set back the adorableness of little people with pots of gold by at least 100 years.
    Humphrey Mooncalf is of course the creation of Dr. A and Pobber Toys, who have released several other editions of this figure in the past year.  This one is extremely limited with only 70 pieces made and will be available exclusively through Tomenosuke on January 8th.

K.Olin Tribu x Nathan Jurevicius Bunniguru




    I'll never be confused as someone who is graceful.  I drop things all the time, I knock things over, I'm basically an uncoordinated yeti.  My clumsiness scares me into loving the creations of K. Olin Tribu from afar.  These are amazing works of art from some of the most famous toy designers  on the planet and they're all hand cast in porcelain.  Their latest release is Bunniguru from Nathan Jurevicius.  Only 50 pieces of this guy were made and they will run you 270 Euros.  They go on sale this Saturday so you better be ready if you want one because I doubt they will last.  Elevate your toy collection's status by infusing it with this great piece.  Just be more careful with it than I would.  

The Avengers Pop! Vinyl from Funko



    I like Funko.  I like that they create really cool toys and make them affordable and fairly easy to find.  Sure, it's fun to chase down a figure in which only 100 of them exist and it requires you to cross state lines and break various laws, but it's also fun to go to your local store and get exactly what you want without stressing yourself out.    Check out their latest offerings in their POP! Vinyl series, The Avengers.  Based on the characters from the upcoming movie, you could buy every one of them and still afford to see the film this Summer.  Take em with you, then reenact your favorite scenes afterwards at Olive Garden and ruin it for the other diners.  If you yell "spoiler alert" first you're totally in the clear.

World of Warcraft x Mega Bloks



    What is this?  If there was ever a product that could possible pry the arthritis-riddled digits of WoW fans from their computers it is definitely this.  Mega Bloks has teamed up with the world's biggest online gaming franchise to bring you sets based on the insanely popular game.  These were previewed at Blizzcon this year and attendees were able to get one of the special Thrall figures to get them all excited to build their fantasy lives out of tangible material.  With an almost endless supply of material, the folks at Mega Bloks will surely create building sets that even the none Warcrafter could appreciate.   Now, in order to get your hands out of keyboard mode and able to close again like a normal person's, I suggest you start planning their rehabilitation now.  Cause while you could order the set online while you're waiting for the rest of your guild to wake up, you're gonna have to put them together yourself.



New Uglydolls for 2012



    The New Year brings with is promises that we make yet very seldom keep.  Some of us will eat less, or spend less, or watch less tv.  Have you noticed how all resolutions are based around depriving ourselves of the things we want?  That's kinda crappy.  Uglydolls don't feel that way though, so they're adding more  characters to make you happy in 2012.  You can get the fluffy pink Gragon, or the blue Softy, who I'm sure is just as fluffy.  These are available for preorder now on the Uglydolls site, so instead of making dumb commitments to yourself that won't make it to February, indulge a bit and get some new toys.  Plus, we're all gonna explode at the end of this year anyway right?  Might as well have something soft to hold onto when Armageddon is thrashing us about.
