Shawnimals + January 23rd = New Stuff!!!

   I went with my wife to a Chinese New Year celebration at a casino once.  It involved a room with vendors set up all around the perimeter (which is my favorite type of room) and a stage where various act would perform.  Being that I don't speak Chinese the talents of the comedians were lost on me, but I did quite enjoy the man and woman who sang various songs from Disney films. And the monk who did some pretty incredible Kung Fu.  It was a new experience to say the least, but if it was available in television form I would be addicted in a heart beat.  Screw American Idol, Chinese variety show is where its at!
   So as you can see, I like Chinese New Year.  I like it a lot.  I like the fire crackers, the parades, the food, and now I like the toys!  Shawnimals has created these special pork dumplings to celebrate the year of the dragon.  There is only 60 of the gold and 60 of the yellow and they are blind boxed so whichever one you end up with is the one fate destined for you.  They're only $12 and available Monday, January 23rd at 1pm CDT by clicking here.   They will also be available through myplasticheart's website and in their New York store the day after.

   Now Shawnimals wouldn't leave you hanging for Valentine's Day would he?  Of course not!  Presenting the Buffalump plush and card set.  For only $20 you get two little plushies and a Valentine's card.  Only 50 pieces will be available and they are numbered on the tag.  Click here on Monday, January 23rd at 1pm CDT to claim yours.

I'm Starting My Christmas List Early

    I've been a pretty decent lad so far this year and I don't plan on doing anything terribly heinous before Santa's next visit, so I've gone ahead and made myself an ambitious little Christmas list.  I was browsing around ye olde internet when this beauty caught my eye.  It's the Allied Victory Sidecar Motorcycle from the king of expensive man toys Hammacher Schlemmer.  I've always wanted a bike with a sidecar that my wife could ride in, even though she says she won't because she doesn't want to "look dumb."  Even the promise of matching helmets with metal spikes in the middle has not as of yet been able to persuade her as to how awesome this would be.  I would have children just so we could pull up to parent teacher night in this thing.  I'm a simple man with simple dreams.  I want to pet a tiger and I want this bike.  It costs $10,000 though, so I better go and help out some orphans or donate a lot of blood to keep my karma points out of the negative.

   

    The rest of the stuff I want is pretty much to accessorize the motorcycle and it all comes from one company: Hell Fire Canyon Club.   First up is this sick Mickey Mouse figure from David Flores.  I figure I can put this next to the tv to remind myself how bad ass I am when I'm not riding the motorcycle.

    And since we're already on their website how about a few shirts.   I could wear these while riding the motorcycle to complete my "terrorizing suburbia" look.  2012 is gonna be my year!

    Ok, I know this wasn't entirely toy related, but sometimes you just have to deviate a little bit and talk about other stuff you like too.  That way I'm letting you get to know me a little better and it expands the awesome relationship we already have.  This is starting to get my a little emotional.

More Info About Kidrobot's FatCap Series 3

    The new series of FatCaps from Kidrobot release next week and we finally have a peak at all the different figures and their blind box ratios.  We can also see that Jon-Paul Kaiser, Kronk, and Queen Andrea all have mystery figures in the set to go along with their standard designs.  And if you buy an entire case of them, you get this special figure from Sket-One for free.  

    I'm more of a Dunny person myself, but I really like a lot of the artists in this series and the designs are by far the best FatCaps have ever had.  I may have to cave and buy a few.  Or a lot.
    

Giantmicrobes for Valentine's Day

    Valentine's Day is the toughest holiday to shop for.  Basically, what you buy your significant other is a reflection on just how much you care about them, or something.  If you're lucky enough to be in love with someone that has a sense of humor, or you're looking to end a relationship with someone who doesn't, then do I have the perfect gift for you.  Giantmicrobes has created a special egg and sperm plush set just in time for the high romance of the holidays.  Each cell contains a magnet that ensures they'll be attached at the hip (do eggs have hips?) forever.  They're only $19.95 and available right now!  Imagine trying to explain to your kids why they can't play with these.  Oh the fun you'll have!  

Living Dead Dolls Series 23

    Children are kinda creepy little beings.  There I said it.  You knew you were thinking it.  Now that we're past that the people behind Living Dead Dolls have always felt that the little buggers could be even scarier than they are in the check out lane at the grocery store.  Presenting Series 23 of the popular little freaks.  Look at them, all having tea on someone's coffin.  I think real kids would do this, so that part isn't too alarming.  But look at their faces!!! The one in the middle with the black dress is kinda freaking me out, probably due to her lack of eyeballs.  She should form a support group with the girl in pink on the right, who obviously didn't listen to her well meaning parents and now has a horrible disfigurement to show for it.  I think that's what happens when you text at the dinner table after being told not to.  

New Releases Tomorrow from Super7

    Sure I posted a little something about these already, but tomorrow you'll actually be able to purchase them and I didn't want you to forget.  I forget most things and unless I write myself a note or there is a horrible smell involved, chances are that whatever I should have remembered will slip into oblivion.
   The Abominable Leroy C. and the Hues of Blues DokuDuo are decked out in the perfect colors for winter and at only $35 each, you can afford to add them both to your collection.  They go on sale tomorrow at noon Pacific time on the Super7 website.

Teasers from Maqet

    Maqet posted these photos on their Facebook page with the caption "no comment".  I would bet money the image above is for a new Emily the Strange toy, as she's sporting her signature bangs and rocking out on an SG style guitar, which is something I've seen with her before.

     This one is a design by Frank Kozik that we had previously expected to see released in time for last Halloween.  Will both of these figures see the light of day in 2012?  It certainly looks that way.
