Darth Malgus Lifesize Figure Update



Here's your update on this big ole toy. It costs $6000. It's also 7 feet tall and does blinky things. If you've got some sick money lying around and need a creepy Sith Lord to watch over your house while you're away, then Sideshow Collectibles is standing by to take your order. Ok, I'm not even gonna lie, I want one. I'm browsing Craigslist right now trying to find somebody to buy one of my kidneys.

Custom Toys of the Week: Sen and Fuller



    These awesome Monkey King Dunnys were made by Sen.  I was planning on telling you where you could purchase them, but they're already sold out.  It's no wonder because they do not suck.  You can check out more of his toys that are also not available anymore by going to http://sen.storenvy.com/.



     I like me some Batman as you may well know and these Mini Munny versions of The Scarecrow and Killer Croc by James Fuller are great interpretations of two classic bad guys.  If you have a spare $250 you can own these guys right now by checking out http://fullerdesigns.bigcartel.com/.  The amount of detail he gets in every figure blows me away every time I see one.

Both of these guys deserve their own production toys and hopefully a company will come along and make it happen.  In the mean time save your pennies and get their customs while you still can.

Zukies from Alison Perez



    I work a lot so sometimes I'm late to the party when it comes to new things.  I had seen these guys before and said to myself "oh, I should write about those" and then I went and scooped cat litter and forgot all about what I was going to do.   I have a gentle helping of the ADHD but I finally have gotten around to tell you about Zukies.

    Zukies are the creation of artist Alison Perez who basically uses every material she can find to bring these critters to life.  


    And for those of you that fancy yourself artists, there will soon be a DIY Zukie for you to customize.  These are slated to be available in May and I'll have more info on them soon.

Toy2r Spring Sale



     I'll admit it, I'm kinda cheap, so when I see that stuff I love is on sale I get a little tingly.  Toy2r is having their spring sale where you can save 20% off of everything and 30% off of orders of $100 or more.  I love toys.  I love cheap toys even more.

The Sucklord at Munky King This Friday


    Munky King understands what the people want and that is more Sucklord. For some reason he hasn't gotten his own spin off show yet (just call it The Desperate Toy Maker of Chinatown and get the thing on the air already Bravo, ya jerks). Of course The Sucklord would not fly all the way to California to meet his adoring public without having some way to take all of their money. Thus I present to you the Sucklord 43:


Pretty fancy huh? This hand bootlegged figure will be released this Friday, March 30th at Munky King in Los Angeles. I want one, but since I live 3,000 miles away I don't think it's gonna happen for me. But if you can get yourself there it is destined to be one of toy events of the year.

April Ninja of the Month from Shawnimals


    Whatcha know bout an Eel Ninja? I know a few things, like for instance, this is the April Ninja of the Month from Shawnimals. He comes out on April 4th at 1pm CDT for only $30 American dollar bills. As per usual there are only 100 hand made dudes available and they consigned and numbered. I also know that he could take Aquaman in a fight. I don't care how many fish you can have conversations with cause that won't get you very far with an aquatic ninja.

Ajee x K. Olin Tribu Kosplay Porcelain Edition Update



     So it looks like tomorrow is the big day for the release of Ajee's Kosplay Porcelain Edition through K. Olin Tribu.  There will only be twelve sets of figures available and each comes packaged in a special wooden box.  The set will retail for $630, which is expensive, but these things were evidently very hard to make.  Plus, you know this really transcends just being a typical toy and is a real work of art.
