Jesse Hernandez x Kuso Vinyl Death Serpent



    Jesse Hernandez packs so much detail into his toys that I've noticed things years after acquiring them that I didn't see at first. Sometime's I think it's because I suffer from a massive case of adult ADHD and I can't pay attention long enough without my mind wandering to bunnies, or the Republican Party. But I also think it's because the man is just so freakin' talented that his toys are able to be continuously fresh.

    Jesse has teamed up with Kuso Vinyl to produce what may possibly be the coolest toy he's ever made. This is the Death Serpent, or Miquitzticoatl, and this dude is sick. Even though he would scare away anything that even thought about crossing him, he still comes with a spear and shield just in case someone isn't smart enough to run. No word on a price or release date yet but since pictures of the sculpt are floating around online I'm sure it will be soon.



SDCC Exclusive City Hunter Predator from N.E.C.A.


    Predator 2 was awesome. For one, Danny Glover was the main character and he wasn't playing with these alien rednecks. And Tool guitarist Adam Jones worked on the special effects, which may or may not end up being a question on Jeopardy! one day. Now N.E.C.A. is reliving all of these cinematic memories with this City Hunter Predator. This clear trophy collector will be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive and he even comes with a skull to help decorate his little space in your home. It will go well with all the furniture he already ordered from Ikea.

Triclops B.A.S.T.A.R.D. Sale



    You know what are nearly impossible to find that I used to have a truck full of? M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. It was ridiculous how into those little things I was. The best part about them was trying to collect all the wacky characters in every possible color. It was my first experience with the same toys being released in a multitude of hues and now just about everything I collect comes in many different versions.

    Triclops has managed to make those figures even crazier and now they're selling their remaining stock of them for the cheap. If you wanna add some of these 2 inch characters to your collection all you have to do is pick out which ones from the picture above, email the selections to info@triclops.co.uk, and then all the monies will be exchanged through Paypal. It's so simple one of my cats just ordered 13 of them.



Skelechub Mini Blind Boxes from We Become Monsters


    These actually went on sale yesterday, but I was stuck slaving away for the man and didn't have a chance to tell you about them. But now that I have a break from my labors, I wanna get you on the Skelechub bandwagon. These creepy little dudes are hand made in resin by We Become Monsters, stand 2 inches tall, and are only $12 per blind box. Get 'me before they're sold out and you are sad. I don't want you to be sad.

Happy Mini Labbits from Kozik x Kidrobot


    What's going on here? Has Kozik's adorable troop of bunnies given up their nicotine-fueled addictions? It sure seems that was in his new Happy Labbits Mini Series from Kidrobot. A few of them even seem to be concerned about the quality of the air around them, donning gas masks as they make their way through rabbit life. Others have taken up a liking for ice cream, carrots, soda, and 70's style mustaches that would be the envy of most hockey players. This assortment will be available June 7th in blind boxed form for $4.95 each.

Axeface Resin Figures from Monstrehero


  If you were riding the subway and these guys happened to step onto the train with you, it would probably be in your best interest to get off at the next stop.  They don't look like they can be reasoned with and you'll be lucky if all they do is steal your wallet.  These are Axefaces and were created by Monstrehero to pillage your village.  I really like that red and black one on the right, as he really embodies how evil these guys look.  According to their website, these may or may not be available this weekend, so keep your eyes on http://www.monstrehero.com/ and get ready to snag one of these colorful marauders.  

Custom Toy of The Week: Alison Perez and Zukie



    Can you ever have enough toys for artists to showcase their creative abilities on?  I don't think so and neither does Alison Perez who has just released her new DIY platform toy Zukie.  She's been making these guys by hand forever and then decided one day to have him factory produced in vinyl so everyone could have a crack at making their own unique version.  Zukie just went on sale today and is only $9.95.  He's 4 inches tall and as you can tell from the pictures, has a lot of surface area for your designs.  Get him now by going to http://zukie_art.storenvy.com/.
