Dunny 2012 from Kidrobot Revealed

    It happens every year. How it happens only a few folks would know, but it does. Each year there is a "leak" of the next series of Dunnys well before Kidrobot announces them. Is there a mole? Is it a ploy of the marketing department? Hard to say, but here is what you have to look forward to when they are released later this year. There is a nice mix of the artists we all expect to be involved, such as Tara McPherson, MAD, and Triclops. But there's also a lot of Dunny newbies, like Jon-Paul Kaiser, Sergio Mancini, and Nakanari. Hopefully the official release date will be announced soon, cause I'm ready to increase the size of my collection ASAP.

Shawnimals Remmy Ninja



    All of you know about my cats, cause I talk about them like the proud papa I am. But I love all animals, and when I hear about something tragic involving someone's furry friend it really hits home. Shawnimals has a pup named Remmy who was attacked and seriously injured. Remmy is doing a lot better, but as anyone knows, vet bills pile up and are very very expensive. To help ease the financial burden Shawnimals has created this special edition Remmy Ninja plush. This will be available May 2nd for only $20 and some of the proceeds will also be donated to help build a local dog park. Get your own little Remmy by going to: http://shop.shawnimals.com/.



Ron English x Chris Brown? Are You Kidding Me?

   
I was gonna tell you about the new Ron English toy that he made in collaboration with Chris Brown. But since that is pretty dumb, I decided instead to share this picture of my cat Icarus. He has never hit a woman before, but he does enjoy licking my wife's teeth while she's asleep.

Kronk x Kidrobot 6 Inch FatCap




    Kronk is having one hell of a year with his toys. Every time I turn my computer on it seems like he has something else coming out, which is great for collectors because one thing we will never complain about is having more stuff to try and get. The lack of free space in my house may say otherwise, but my wife is pretty creative at figuring out where new stuff can go, so I'll leave that problem in her capable hands. I'm merely the modern day hunter/ gather.

    This 6 inch FatCap from my man Kronk and Kidrobot is just the latest in his onslaught of releases this year. Only 900 of these guys were made and you can get one on May 10th for $75.

Shoggoth Slave from Skinner x Jay222




    Skinner and Jay222 are doing it again with this sick figure inspired by the myths of H.P. Lovecraft. If you've ever read any of his work, you know that ole H.P. had some pretty twisted visions of things that were lurking in the world and this series of figures has captured that and then some. This guy is a Shaggoth Slave, the whipping boy of The Elder Things. Need someone to to pick up your laundry or commit mass murder? Here's your man. This guy is huge too, measuring 7 inches tall and 5 inches wide. You can pick him up this Monday, April 30th, for $125.



Custom Toy of the Week: Lisa Rae Hansen




      Ok, this might be my favorite custom toy of all time. This amazing work is courtesy of Lisa Rae Hansen and was part of the Heavy Metal Qee Project. The nesting doll/iron maiden started off as a Qee figure and the little metal head that is inside is all an original sculpt. I would love to see a series of figures based on Mega Seth, so someone should step up and make that happen. If I had the cash I'd make it happen, but alas all my money goes to cat litter and weird smelling fish treats. Check out more from Lisa at http://www.ibreaktoys.com/ and if you want to buy this dude you can click here and he can be yours. Also, the proceeds are going to charity, which is cool.

Ferg x Grody Shogun Young Gohst Subscriptions




I'm gonna go ahead and say it. These are the best mini figures of the year. Go ahead and try to top them, you can't. It would take a heavy dose of wizardry to make anything cooler, and the best part is you can ensure that you get every single one of them. No buying blind box after blind box and hoping you get 'em all. You pay one flat fee and then get a couple of figures mailed to you every month. It's better than the Sausage of the Month Club I'll tell you that.

These genius little guys are the creation of Ferg and Grody Shogun. Each 3 inch figure comes with a brain that you can mix and match how you see fit. For $285 you get a total of 13 figures over 6 months and that includes shipping. These subscriptions go on sale April 30th so get your affairs in order and get these figures.
