City Bots from Kidrobot



    There are certain perks you get by living near one of the few Kidrobot stores. Meet the newest incentives for you to move out of the boondocks. These are the City Bots and each one takes their fashion cues from their particular location. From left to right you have New York, San Francisco, London, Miami, and Los Angeles. Each 3 inch mascot will be $11.95 and only be sold in the store they represent. They go on sale June 21st, so you still have some time to make friends that can go pick them up for you. Or you could have the most epic road trip ever and drive to every store and get them yourselves. Just don't try driving from America to England, cause folks will laugh at you.



Kidrobot San Diego Comic Con Exclusives Teaser Pic



    I think Kidrobot really wants to be in the torture business. They seriously should just skip all this and come over to my house with a pair of pliers and pull all of my teeth out. Cause every time they post a picture like the one you see above a little part of me dies. These are the teaser images of their exclusives for this year's San Diego Comic Con and I know for a fact there's at least 2 I want. To the left there is obviously a Dunny, and second from the right I can make out a Labbit. The others really baffle me, but I'm sure I'll be on eBay trying to justify buying them all at flipper prices (curse you flippers, I hate you more than month-old lunch meat). I need to hire a toy mule stat.

Custom Toy of the Week: Gary Ham



    How could this not be the custom toy of the week?  It's Frank Kozik made out of wood by Gary Ham.  He comes with loads of accessories, like a Smorkin Labbit, one of his concert posters, a few books, some tools for tinkerin' on all of his motorized toys and even his cat that may or may not be the most famous feline on Facebook, Edward Goralsky.  This unfortunately is only a one off, but I think it would be cool to have these produced on a large scale and give everyone the chance to have their own Papa Kozik judging them all day.  He looks disappointed in you.

Jon-Paul Kaiser x Toy2r Captain Sturnbrau Deep Blue Sea Edition


    Oooooooooooooh check this out. It's the latest version of Jon-Paul Kaiser's Captain Sturnbrau Mini Qee from Toy2r. It looks like it's made of a clear plastic that may or may not glow in the dark. Much mystery surrounds this release, but I do know that only 200 were made and it looks cool. What more do you really want to know? Oh, I don't know the release date or price, but you seem like the patient type who doesn't concern himself with silly things such as finance.






Street Grapes x Toy2r 5 Mini Qee


    I don't think you should go around eating grapes you find laying in the street. They could turn you into one of those flesh eating zombie folks that have been in the news recently. Or they could be delicious. It's one of those things that might be worth testing if you can find any of those delicious fruit stranded in the road.

    This new Mini Qee from Toy2r was designed by a fellow named Street Grapes. He does a lot of graffiti and such all over the world and now he has made his transition into the toy world. This tripped out, multi- eyed fellow will be available this Summer for $28.

Gary Ham x Freak Store Fonzo Figure


    Gary Ham has teamed up with Freak Store to create a killer version of their mascot Fonzo. He is 6 inches tall, adorable, and also comes in a chase color way. Only 200 of the ones pictured were made and should be on sale next week. There also looks like there may be a DIY version as well so you can draw on him and your mom can tell you how proud she is of your art work.
