Batman Vinyl Invader Figure from Funko


     So where was giant mecha Batman when Godzilla was dancing all over Tokyo for the umpteenth time? He would have shown that lizard who was boss and probably would have been a bit more manageable that hiring King Kong. But now you can buy this epic Vinyl Invader figure from Funko and protect all the miniature cities you may or may not have. This Japanese inspired Dark Knight stands at 11 inches tall and will retail for $29.99 this July. You should buy one.

CrappyCat Crap Stink Splasher Edition



    Two of the most beautiful things in this word are cats and deals.  Rarely are those ever combined, as all my kitties think it's hilarious to rack up insane vet bills without feeling the need to go out and find jobs.  CrappyCat is gonna change all that for me this week though.  Check out this boatload of loot you can score for a paltry $35:  You get two Stink Splasher Edition figures (one CrappyCat and one FlunkMonkey), and a signed and numbered poster that will make all of the other art in your house feel a touch inadequate.  These are limited to only 125 sets in the whole world and will be available starting April 4th at 2pm eastern time.  You will only have a 48 hour window to purchase these, but they probably won't even last that long cause they're more awesome than a video of a raver chick making out with a tree.  Get yours here:  http://crappycat.com/CrappyExclusiveStore.html

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.
