Make This Toy a Reality

 

Tenacious Toys are soooooooooooooo close to making this Mini Qee a reality. We're talking less than $200 away from having their Kickstarter fully funded and this Scott Tolleson toy in production. For only $30 you get one of these awesome figures shipped to your house. These retail for $28 alone, so paying an extra $2 for shipping is the best deal you'll ever find. There are other amounts you can pledge as well and you get some cool rewards to go with them: stickers, t-shirts, even original art. Click here and brag to your friends that you're an international toy mogul, making things happen in plastic.

 

The Expendables Minimates

Ok, I'll admit it: I've never seen this movie. Never even wanted to really, despite the fact that it has every cheesy action star ever is in it and it looked like no expense was sparred as far as bullet blanks go. But does that mean I can't appreciate toys based on this movie for which dialogue was most likely not the highest of priorities? Of course not! In fact, it makes playing with them that much easier cause you can put your imagination on auto pilot and get to the killing!

These Minimates will be available soon in two different four packs. the ones pictured above will be available in Toys R Us stores, while the ones below will be at your favorite comic/specialty retailers. Each pack will come with tons of lethal accessories to keep things interesting.

 

Mishka 100% Bearbrick

    Yeah, this toy doesn't suck. It's a killer Bearbrick from the folks at Mishka, who make awesome toys and clothes and probably other stuff that I don't know about but would be tempted to buy. Designed by Lamour Supreme, this insane cyclops will be available May 12th for an undetermined price. Or maybe it was determined but they know you want it so bad that you'll pay whatever you have to in order to add this sucker to your collection. Or maybe they just forgot to tell us. They're probably busy folks.

Introducing Keg O'Boom from South Africa

Kingdom Mind from Restore at Lulubell Toy Bodega

    Ummm no one has ever asked me to vote for the pope (cause for some reason it's not a democratic system) but this guy would be at the top of my list.  Imagine, the first pope that can recite Iron Maiden lyrics.  This is the new Kingdom Mind figure from Restore and is available now from our pals at Lulubell Toy Bodega.  For $165 you get this insanely detailed, 10 inch tall slab of not-so-cute vinyl.  It's not often I get to use the word "sinister" much to describe a toy, so it's nice to see someone willing to push things a little and allow me to use my vocabulary words that have gotten dusty.  I want one.  

Pink and Blue Clear Labbits from Kozik and Kidrobot

    It seems like every time I go online that a new Labbit is being released. Not that that's a bad thing mind you, as it seems to have become my life's goal to have nothing but Labbits in my house. Soon I'll have to start getting rid of furniture to make room for them all.

    Kozik and Kidrobot are trying to force my couch outside now as they are releasing not 1 but 2 new nicotine addicted bunnies. These are made with fancy clear pink and blue vinyl, so you can shine a flashlight through it, or drill a hole into one and make a lamp out of it. Or just look at it the way it is and be impressed with your good taste. Pick 'em up May 10th for $60 each.

Candy Coated Custom Show Tomorrow Night in NYC

    Tenacious Toys is presenting a pretty awesome custom show tomorrow night at The London Candy Company. All of the customs are either based on sweets or England so the mix of designs is interesting. If you can't make it to New York tomorrow to see it in person you can go to www.tenacioustoys.com to see and purchase them online. Just so you know, most seem to be sold, but there are some amazing pieces still to be had.
