Pink Prowler Casket Cruiser from Super7



    Does the color pink make a coffin less creepy or does it take the creepiness to an entire new level? What about a coffin that doubles as a car driven buy a guy with a rose bud for a head? Super7 are unleashing this guy on the world next Thursday April 5th. He's called the Pink Prowler Casket Cruiser (which seems a pretty accurate description) and can be yours for $65. I actually really like this color way because it is so different from what I'm normally interested in. See, I can accept change. Sometimes. When it doesn't involve food, or differences in my routine. And it doesn't cost me money. Or moving to a new place. Or involves a doctor. I hate change.

His latest creations are the Sea-Borgs, a set of three figures all hand made in resin. You could pick up any one of them for $20, or you could get the entire set for $50.

Ultimate Collector Series R2-D2 Lego



    Be prepared.  I only wrote about Star Wars stuff today.  I know.  I let you down.  Now you sound like my real dad.

    This Ultimate Collector Series R2-D2 from Lego is pretty sick.  You build it from 2,127 pieces, which means you shouldn't let your cats anywhere near it because they will surely sneak off with a few without you noticing.   It does more than just sit there and wait for you to knock it off the book shelf.  The third leg retracts (I'm not going to say it),  the head rotates, other things open and close and it makes ice cream.  Ok, not that last part.  He can be yours in May for $180 direct from Lego.  

    

Darth Malgus Life Size Figure from Sideshow Collectibles



     The term "life size figure" conjures up a lot of weird images for me.  Most of them are not family friendly and I would prefer that I not have ever heard of them.  But this puts a more innocent spin on what could otherwise be a scandalous thing you have have to be 18 years or older to purchase.  This giant Darth Malgus makes me wish how all of my old Star Wars toys had all been life size.  Just picture a backyard filled with giant plastic space men!!!!!  You could bring all of your friends over to help you move them around and recreate scenes from the movie and you could laugh when Chewbacca falls over and crushes your one annoying friend who always smells like old cheese but no one will tell him cause his dad taught him how to bar fight.

    So anyway, I saw one of these at New York Comic Con last year and I could not figure out how to steal it.  Now I just have to steal enough money to buy one from Sideshow Collectibles when this sucker is released.  They won't reveal any more info until May 27th on this guy, so you should sign up for their email list in case I forget to tell you about it.

Rsin x Lysol Greads Available Tomorrow



    Ok, let's make something very clear.  I would smack a baby to own one of these.  I'm not even kidding.    Bring your little misbehaving child over here and I will slap them in the kisser for this toy.  Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but I still want one pretty badly.  We've all seen Lysol's creation Gread before, but we've never seem him with the added stylings of Rsin!  These will be available Tuesday, March 27th at noon eastern time for only $20 each. $20 for a hand made and hand painted toy?  That's practically giving them away.  If you're even considering getting one of these you better be near a computer ready to make it happen because these will sell out instantly.  Of course I have to work when they're being released, which bums me out to no end.  But you'll have to live my dream for me and snatch one of these guys up.


Batman vs. Joker Artfx Statue from Kotobukiya



     Oh, snap!  It's gonna be hard for the Joker to laugh so much with his jaw wired shut.  This epic statue of epicness (that is the word of the day) is brought to you by the amazingly talented folks at Kotobukiya.  This is based on a scene from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and stands over a foot tall!  That's pretty big.

    This will be available later on in the year and will retail for around $130.   

The Elder Thing from Skinner


    There are certain things I like in life; things that make me less likely to snap and go on a killing spree.  Cats are one of those things.  Slurpees are another.  But I also love metal, epicness, and H.P. Lovecraft which are but three of the many ingredients in this awesome toy.  Based on the classic Lovecraft tale In the Mouth of Madness, this Elder Thing was created by Skinner and Jay222 and can bring a bit of literary classiness to your home for only $100.  Oh, and they go on sale today at noon so you should probably stop looking for Olivia Munn's leaked pictures and buy yourself this monster that is beyond all that you can fathom.
