January Releases from Super7

    Thus far, 2012 has been challenging.  I had to scrounge up enough cash for a major repair to my wife's truck, got into a fight with a major credit card company who didn't realize I live in New Jersey and therefore am armed with tons of colorful language, and been a bit under the weather.  January has been no fun to say the least, but new toys can always make it better.  Super7 must be connected to my very thoughts because I have just stumbled upon this plethora of releases they have planned before this hellish month comes to an end.  First up are those yellow guys on the left.  Early Morning Garuru and Sunburnt Yellow Prick came out today and are only $35 each.  The white fella is Abominable Leroy C.  and his buddy DokoDuo come out next Thursday, January 19th and are also $35 each.  And finally you have the Green Hell on Wheels Casket Cruiser that releases January 26th for $65.  He costs a little bit more but is absolutely my favorite of the bunch.  I also bet his car doesn't have any moving parts that will eventually go bad and bring great sadness (and bills) to its owner.  That's probably why he's smiling.

DC Comics x Skelanimals

    Skelanimals are kinda weird.  They're like roadkill that doesn't smell bad or leak all over the place when you try to cuddle it.  And because they're not real no one will call the police and have you committed for being a complete nut job.  That being said, Skelanimals and DC Comics have teamed up to bring you these costumed dead things.  They're kinda cute I suppose, and it's always nice to see two popular companies come together and create something new.  The Flash freaks me a out a little bit though, with his bit of skull poking out of the bottom of his mask.  I don't trust him.

Boba Fett Jumbo Machinder from Super7

    Super7 is releasing teasers all week of the toys you can expect to see from them this year and the first one is a biggie.  Following the success of their Stormtrooper figure comes everyone's favorite Bounty Hunter (not the guy with the mullet) Boba Fett!!!  We've kinda known about this one for awhile, but now we know it will see the light of day before they end of the year.  

January Ninja of the Month from Shawnimals

    Guess what today is?  Other than Wednesday.  Other than the day Top Chef airs.  It's Ninja of the Month release day!!!!!!!  Action Ninja is the first for 2012, and comes complete with everything a newscaster needs: a microphone, a nice tie, and Donald Trump hair that no hurricane could mess up.  You should click here right now and get your little news buddy for only $30.  As always, each ninja is hand made by Shawnimals and comes signed and numbered.  They go on sale at 1pm CDT and there are only 100 of them out there, so stop watching cat videos and start ordering.

Creo Design x Tado Mushroom Contest

    Creo Design and Tado are both creative forces and now they want to reward you for your imagination. They want you to take a cool picture of a mushroom.  Easy right?  But you have to make it stand out from everyone else's because the 10 best photos will be able to buy the new Tado Funghi figure for 40% off.  You have until January 27th to post your photo on the Creo Design Facebook page located here.  

Suicidal Tendencies x Zac Pac Mr. Skum

         You remember Suicidal Tendencies.  They had that song Institutionalized about a bro who's parents didn't get him and he sang it all fast and it made you hyper and made you feel that no one understood you or that you liked to skateboard and listen to punk and dye your hair blue and have ripped jeans and hang out with kids that were a bad influence and write dark poetry in your dream journal and....Well anyway, that band decided that they needed a toy and here you have it.  This is the exclusive color made for Kidrobot and it's limited to 50 pieces and costs $120.  Oh, and he comes with a wee little hat that he can wear too.   Those things are like $40 bucks alone if you buy one for regular sized folks.

Halo Reach Series 6 from McFarlane Toys

    Is your significant other a Halo fan?  If you answered "yes" to that question than I will go ahead and say "you're welcome" because I just did all of your Valentine's Day shopping for you.  This February Mcfarlane Toys will be releasing the 6th series of Halo:Reach figures.  Just look at them, in all their uber detailed glory, just waiting to make the one you love happy this holiday.  And there's 8 of them, which means if they open the packages you'll be left with hours of peace and quiet while they reenact epic space battles in the living room.  And if they keep them in the packages then you'll have 8 more things to dust every month.
