It's been quite a while since Kidrobot has released one of these guys. They got famed grafitti artist Queen Andrea to write her name on it a billion times and do some other brightly colored things that make me feel like I'm at a Grateful Dead show in '72. These are limited to just 1,000 pieces and you have a 1 in 6 chance of scoring the limited purple and grey version. You can have yours March 22nd for $60.

Spider Baby Boom Artist Series from Toy2r
Whenever the misses and I check into a hotel room I have two things that I must do immediately.
1.) Check under the mattress for dead hookers.
2.) Check under the sheets for any signs of bed bugs.
Bed bugs are the reason I am no longer allowed to watch the Discovery Channel unsupervised. Does it get much freakier than some irritating little critters draining you of your blood while you sleep? I didn't think so and you're welcome for your new phobia.
The Spider Baby Boom toys have always reminded me of something that looks harmless, but would probably kill you if you gave it the chance. This series features some pretty cool designs from some pretty well known artists. You have Jon-Paul Kaiser, Lunabee, Sneaky Raccoon, MCA, and Pocket Wookie to name a few. Have you ever noticed that many artists, like rappers, don't use their real names. Do you think its cause they have warrants?
These will be blind boxed and available sometime this year.

Kozik x Kidrobot Bondage Labbit
Let's be honest: Frank Kozik is plotting to take over the world with the sheer amount of his toy releases. Soon there will be more plastic objects bearing his designs than actual human beings in the world and that's when his plan will begin it's next phase. That part I haven't figured out yet, but when I do I'll pretend to be surprised when he becomes our emperor and enslaves us all.
Speaking of slavery, I present to you the newest incarnation of his Labbit figure, this time decked out in full bondage gear. He even comes with his own leash, just in case he gets out of line and needs to be reigned back in. This delightful gimp can be yours for $75 on May 22nd.
Commander Gree + $25 Gift Card from Sideshow Collectibles
You know you want this figure. You've seen it on the Sideshow Collectibles website; thought about how cool it would look next to the ninja swords you got from that sketchy dude at the flea market. Well, now is the time to buy this Commander Gree figure because if you can manage to do it before 11:59 pm Pacific time, you will also get a $25 discount coupon code. Sounds like you've got some shopping to do there.

Hellcat Custom Tutzz Release Tonight from Argonaut Resisns
My cats are pretty well behaved, but there are times when I wonder if the fires of Hell are burning deep within them and they are acting out to try and extinguish the flames. Maybe this is what it looks like inside of them when they are doing their best to demolish the house. Argonauts Resin has teamed up with Robbie Bush to create these special edition Hellcat custom Tuttz figures. Each one stands 8 inches tall and there are only 5 of them available. They go on sale at 10pm EST TONIGHT on this website: http://argonautresins.bigcartel.com/. Better be early because these will sell out very very fast.
Doktor A Mobile Device Sleeves from Funky Peanut
I love this design from Doktor A. I went nuts trying to get his Dunny a few years ago that looked like this and now the folks at Funky Peanut have utilized his artwork for a series of mobile device sleeves. Fancy up your tablets and laptops while keeping them safe. And like any good collectible from the Doktor, they are limited edition with only 500 of each size being made. Get yours now by going to www.funkypeanut.co.uk/shop/en.
Wondercon Releases from Frombie
Most of the times when a toy company has a booth at a convention they bring one or two things with them that are exclusive for the attendees. Usually they make a different color of a toy, special packaging, etc. etc. Frombie evidently doesn't believe in the minimalist approach and is bringing a whole truckload of releases to this years Wondercon. I hope you have a few minutes, because this may take a bit.
First up we have the all gold Artifact Zora. This vinyl figure stand 6 inches tall and is limited to only 10 pieces at their booth. Each one also comes signed and numbered.
Now we're gonna mix things up a bit. This Glow in the Dark SB figure is available starting 11am Eastern time March 16th in their online store. An exclusive not available at the convention? That's what we need more of, since not all of us live in California and are able to attend. If only all toy companies would do something similar for all of the big events. Only 25 of this guy exist and I'm sure they won't last long.
Oh, you need something softer, more cuddly in your life (I know that's what you were thinking cause I'm in your head, man)? Then check out all these plush characters. These will be available at Wondercon and are only $20 each.
