Fiery Tornado Honoo from Super7



     Wow, the swirl of colors in this toy are blowing my mind!  Today at noon Pacific you can score yourself one of these mesmerizing Fiery Tornado Honoos from Leecifer and Super7.  He's gonna be $35 and probably will not last long.  This is by far the best use of swirled vinyl I have seen and the technique fits this figure perfectly.  What's also cool about this is that because the colors are mixed together no two figures will be the same.  

Lord of The Rings Lego Mini Figures




    I am pretty excited for these and it makes me want to break my Lego drought the more I look at them.  These are the first shots of the Lord of the Rings mini figures!!!!  The sets will be released this summer and I can't wait to see what they look like.  Hopefully they'll continue to tease us with more pictures.  I think I should buy them all, then find someone who has the Vagina Monlogues Lego sets and wage epic war on the color pink!!!  We shall stain the Butterfly Beauty Shop with the blood of evil!! And of girl toys!!!!!




Love Pink Mini Qee



    OOOOOOOOhhh fluffy!  There are so many toys that are Valentine's Day theme this year, but this one is nice because it doesn't scream the holiday.  Toy2r presents the next color of their flocked Mini Qees and as you can see it's PINK.  It reminds me of those cakes that Hostess makes, and they're black inside.  My wife is telling me they're called Sno Balls and now I have to go to the store and try to hunt down this elusive pastry.  I should never have said anything.   These will be out soon and will most likely be $28 just like the other ones.  Please don't bite into it though, unless you have really good insurance and a taste for plastic.

New Mass Effect Figures With Free DLC



    Now this is an interesting way to sell some toys.  The new Mass Effect line of figures will come with free downloadable content for the PC and XBox 360.  Each figure comes with something different to be used in Mass Effect 3 and the content will not be available anywhere else.  Four figures will be released soon with another four to follow later in the year.  Each one will cost you $20, but hard core gamers will most likely shell out the $160 for all eight if it gives them an edge.  Personally, I think it's a great tie in and I would expect to see much more of this in the future.  If they had done this for Arkham City I would have been at the store the day the toys were released.  

Fat Tony by Ron English



    Oooooh a little social commentary with our toys??  Ron English likes to make points with his work which is all fine and nice I suppose.  But attacking Frosted Flakes?  I am way past the age that I should even want to eat a kid's cereal, but I am all about them.  None of that fiber crap for me, I love Frosted Flakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms and just about anything else that will rot my teeth.  I'm not sure that cereal has ever made anyone obese, unless you ate a few boxes a day.  I was cool with the fat Ronald McDonald toys cause that made sense to me, but other than being kinda funny, I'm not really taking away a life altering message.  But if you want this big hunk of striped plastic it's gonna set you back $60, which will maybe mean you have to eat less cereal because you won't be able to afford it.

New Kozik x Kidrobot Plush Labbits


    Don't we all have at least one crazy aunt who wears nothing but animal prints?  A little here and there is ok, but Aunt Junie, do you really need to look like you're a big game hunter all the time?  She cries when she sees a dead squirrel on the side of the road yet she parades around the mall like she just slaughtered a leopard.   I know we live in New Jersey but come on.
    When is animal print appropriate?  When it's on a Labbit!  Kozik and Kidrobot team up to bring us two more versions of their popular stuffed bunnies.  One is rocking a sweet cow print, while the other one is draped in it's best tiger attire, ready to accompany Aunt Junie to the VFW and loose all her money on Bingo.  These guys will be available February 9th  and will be priced at $39.95 for the 14 inch one and $17.95 for the 7 inch dude.


New Stuff Today From Max Toy Co.



     I love this cat figure!  This might be one of my favorite toys that I've never had the chance to own.  If you're lucky enough you can score one of these Kaiju Negora or the Masked Lady Darkness figure from Max Toy Co.  They release today and will surely sell out as do most of their products.  Lady Darkness is cool and all, but I've been coveting one of those cats for awhile.  I think my kitties have been inspired by this monstrosity because they've been especially bad lately.  It's like my living room is Tokyo and they're hell bent on wrecking the place like they ate a barrel of radioactive waste.  I shouldn't let them use the internet anymore I guess.
