Maqet x Volkswagen Want Your Design Skills

    That video is pretty amazing huh? That my friends is the technology of 3D printing at work, a technology that the folks at Maqet have down pat. They make pretty awesome toys using methods similar to what you've seen above and now they've teamed up with Volkswagen to give you the chance to design a new VW Polo. You can go right now to http://thepoloprinciple.com/index_eng.php and design your own car. Forty of the best designs will then be printed using that wizard magic in the video and they will be shown in Copenhagen in May. And if you're one of the forty lucky folks, you also get to keep your little car after the show. One really lucky person will have their design plastered on the side of a real VW Polo and get to drive it around during the summer. Get to work.

April Preorders from Gentle Giant

    Ooooooooooooooh. These are some of the new thingys that Gentle Giant have made available for us to preorder in April. My favorite is this killer Death Trooper statue. As you can see he's got a touch of that zombie bug that's going around, which normally I'd say I'm sick of, but since it involves Star Wars, I'll let it slide. Plus it's cool. And $225.

    You remember what you used to always say when you were little? "Boy, I sure do wish they'd make a big ole Snaggletooth figure for me to play with". Well consider all of your prayers answered because here he is in all his awkward glory. For $70 he can loom large over your toy collection and creep out your mother.

    Continuing with the space theme I have found myself to be obsessed with, it's a Mars Attacks Christmas ornament. Once the aliens do land the first thing on their agenda is to steal all of your nicest things, so if you have their likeness hanging on your tree, they just might spare the socks your Aunt Linda got you. For three years in a row. Ridiculous woman.

DC Begins New 52 Figure Ads

    All you come c book readers have probably already seen this as DC Comics has been placing their ads for the New 52 figure line in its recent releases. All of the toys have that new, modern design that was part of the DC relaunches. Overall I like the looks of the figures, but Wonder Woman is a little intimidating. I mean look at those arms! She looks like she hangs out at biker bars and arm wrestles ex convicts for pocket money. That's a scary woman. Kudos to Aquaman for looking a bit tougher than we're used to, though he still could be a Sears underwear model. But one that could maybe defend himself from your taunts if he was with a school of obedient fish buddies. Maybe.

Kidrobot Exclusive Black Gipper Bust from Kozik

    So we're finally getting to see the color way of Kozik's Gipper Bust that will be exclusive to Kidrobot. This all black Darth Reagan is the most unnerving of them all.  It's like he's been sculpted out of pure evil, or oil.  Yeah, it's probably oil.  There are only 50 blackest of the black versions available and guess what?  Kidrobot is sold out of them online.  So if you live near one of their stores you better go and see what they have left.  Or head over to eBay and pay somebody who bought the toy just to resell it and be a complete jerk to collectors.  Not that I'm angry about that sort of thing or that I have threatened to stab people for cutting in front of me in line at events, who then proceeded to discuss how much money they were going to make off of selling whatever I was waiting patiently for.  Those people are called "flippers" and it is because all of their children will be born with flippers like a dolphin rather than arms and legs, a quite fitting punishment for their crimes against decency.  Look it up.  

Headless Apes from MonstreHero

    Ok, as per usual I'm a bit late to the party as a few of these zany primates have sold out since they went on sale a few days ago. I can't tell you what I was doing, or where I was. We'll just have to leave it at that until the statute of limitations run out.

    So being that some of these Headless Apes from MonstreHero have sold out and you probably want to get yourself one, I'm gonna get right to the point. Each color has both a male and female version, each one is $75, and they can be purchased by going to http://monstrehero.bigcartel.com/. Go and get yo monkey with the ghost head now!
