Living Dead Dolls Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

    Well, I suppose if that whole Mayan nonsense about the end of the world turns out to be true it might be in our best interest to make friends with these guys before it happens.  That cryptic image above is the new Living Dead Dolls Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse series.  For about $100 you get the whole set of these bringers of the end times.  Each come with the needed accessories to ensure the suffering of mankind and they also have little hobby horses to make travel that much easier.  Look for this doomsday gang in November from Mezco.  

10-Doh Blind Box Series for San Diego Comic Con

    I'm glad these guys are getting the mini figure treatment, because I want to like them more but for some reason the bigger versions just don't do it for me.  I don't know what it is, but upon hearing they were now doing an entire series of 3 and 1/2 blind box versions, I got excited.   They'll be much easier to display and will look really cool when you get a bunch of them together.  And the roster of artists they gathered together is pretty impressive as well.  Kozik, Doktor A, Jesse Hernandez, and a bunch more that we all know and love have lent their talents to updating these classic Nintendo cartridges.  This series will debut at San Diego Comic Con and will sell for $10 each.  You can check out Kozik's design below:

San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Godzilla

    Seriously, if a monster is going to destroy everything you own, you're gonna want it to be Godzilla.  The guy's been around forever and no one will take the care to ensure utter destruction that he will.

    This fiery version of everyone's favorite giant reptile is an exclusive for this year's San Diego Comic Con.  The packaging is pretty cool too, as it depicts him destroying the convention and sending all of us nerds running for our lives.

    Maybe he was just upset that the tickets sold out so quickly and he didn't have access  to a computer when they went on sale.  

Loki Movie Masterpiece Figure from Hot Toys

    If I were to buy this, would he try and lead my cats astray with his mouthful of deceit? Loki is looking pretty cool here in this Hot Toys Masterpiece Series, but that's how he gets you. When dealing with the eternal trickster you have to assume everything about him is meant to bring about your demise. You can preorder him now for $220 and he will ship in December, which is just in time for him to con you out of all your presents. You better buy the Thor figure as well just to keep this guy in line. My kitties already have all the bad influences they need with all the tv they watch.

Lenore in Vinyl

    Usually collecting dead things is not the best plan. After awhile your house will start to smell like I imagine those on Hoarders do and that will just be the tip of the iceberg that is the end of your social life. But in this case, you probably won't become a complete leper in the eyes of your friends.

    This is Lenore and can you believe that she has been around for 20 years already? To celebrate Diamond Select Toys has created this 8 inch vinyl figure capturing her in all her decomposing glory. No word on an exact release date, but I'll let you know when I find out.

Shawnimals Presents Rainbow Takeout

    You know what this world needs in our time of economic uncertainty? We need plus hides and we need them on the cheap! Who else could answer the call but Shawnimals and what could be more plushy and awesome than pork dumplings? Now, I don't recommend hitting up the old buffet and snuggling the real thing, but I entirely encourage you to buy a boatload of these little guys and fill your bathtub with them. What happens beyond that is your business, but it would be an awesome start.

    Shawnimals presents the Rainbow Takeout series, which feature a plethora of colors for you to collect. For $18 you get 3 randomly chosen 2 inch dumplings in a little take out box. This is an open release, so you can buy all you want all the time. Get 'emright now by going here.

Parra x Kidrobot

    This toy makes me mildly uncomfortable. I think what's doing it, other than the fact that the blue guy appears to be a vampire and drinking the red chick's blood, is the giant red monkey butt. It brings back all of the memories I have of going to the zoo and some inappropriate monkey doing something equally inappropriate to live up to his billing. And they're so proud of their hairless butts and want to make sure that no matter when you take a picture, their bare hind parts are prominently featured. Curse you monkeys and how you lure us in with your cuteness, only to shock us with your horrid behavior.

    This toy was made by Parra, stands 10 inches tall, and was made in conjunction with Kidrobot. It's $150 and comes out June 7th. I can honestly tell you it's not my cup of tea, but if you like it that's ok and we can still be friends. I just might not come over to your house for book club anymore.
