Triclops x Unbox Industries Present PeeNut

    When I was a wee lad there was nothing better than getting that little plastic garbage can filled with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures from the toy store and having epic wrestling matches until I passed out. Or the dog chewed the arms off and I had to save for another batch. Now Triclops and Unbox Industries are allowing me to relive those memories with PeeNut, the first Mega B.A.S.T.A.R.D. figure. All three colors of this angry legume will be available the first week of April for $45 each. Oh, and they're limited to 200 pieces. Luckily my cats don't seem to have a taste for my toys, cause I'm feeling the need for an old school WWF throwdown!

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

    OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secret Base x Toy Art Gallery Spongebob X-Ray

    Ever wondered what was going on inside Spongebob?  No, me neither, because a real sponge has absolutely nothing happening in its innards.  Just little holes everywhere that are good for little more than scrubbing your bathtub (which is filthy by the way).  But I have been proven wrong by the combined efforts of Secret Base and Toy Art Gallery who present this Spongebob X-Ray figure.  Standing at 5 inches tall, this pants wearing kitchen tool is exposing himself for the world to see that there is more to him than previously thought by science.  He has a skeleton!!!!  I guess that makes sense since he does have teeth and whatnot, but still I am shocked by this revelation.

    You can own this figure and a cool t-shirt for $185 right now by checking out: http://www.toyartgallery.com/.

Super7 x Bwana Spoons Frederick the Beetle

    Introducing the newest character to join the Super7 family, Frederick the Beetle.  This little guy is the brainchild of Bwana Spoons and is just down right cute.  There, I said it.  I have feelings sometimes.  Unlike most Super7 releases, they are actually throwing a party to introduce this new critter to the masses.  So if you're in the San Francisco area clear your calendar on March 24th and take part in all the excitement.  Here are the details:

Yo Gabba Gabba Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    When I was younger we had our share of weird children's programming that was meant to keep us busy while our parents went to work, or to the bar. I was babysat by a host of characters including Scooby Doo, Mr. Rogers, and The Dukes of Hazard (that wasn't a kids show?). Now those little rug rats have Yo Gabba Gabba to keep them busy with a menagerie of colorful characters and killer songs. Funko now let's you bring the whole cast home as part of their POP! Vinyl toys series. They're coming out in May and are ultra affordable so you won't feel too bad about buying them all. Plus it we support this show hopefully they'll never bring the Teletubbies back. Those things freak me out.

New Gumdrops from 64 Colors

    What's this? It looks like a tub full of goodness from the design duo 64 Colors. There are a ton of different colors of their Gumdrop character, which are just down right cute. What's great about these is that they're not blind boxed, so you can get the whole set with little difficulty. And who wouldn't want one of each? These are produced by Squibbles Ink and Rotofugi and will be available March 23rd for only $5.95 each.  Check out this picture of all 12 different versions.

Custom Toy of the Week: Josh Mayhem

    Ummmmm the word WOW comes to mind.  Check out this toy called "Buggs The Toxic Bunny" from customizer Josh Mayhem.  He is part of a larger group of figures known as The Askew Rangers, who are a collective of heavily armed forest critters (there's a group shot down a bit further).  This and others from the series are available now via Tenacious Toys at pretty reasonable prices considering the amount of work that is involved with each one.  If you like what you see and want to commission something or just browse his other work, check Mr. Mayhem out in the following spots:
