Monstrehero and Real x Head Leechface



    The guys from Monstrehero have teamed up with a true legend in Japanese vinyl toys, Real x Head, to create these Leechface bros!  These were all painted with Monstor Kolor, so you know they look even more amazing in person.  They will be available to people at San Diego Comic Con but it's not in the usual fashion.  Follow Monstrehero on Twitter @monstresean and @monstrecliff as they'll be Tweeting where they are and you can meet up with them to buy these figures.  They have a bunch of other stuff with them as well, you could score an amazing bounty of resin toys from the makers themselves.  If you're like me though, and stuck at home watching Jerry Springer marathons fear not, just keep your eye on http://monstrehero.bigcartel.com/ cause you never know what might pop up there for a very limited time.  

Heather Gargon for the Jinxed Munnyworld Custom Show



    That dude is insane!  This is a custom Munny figure made by the talented Heather Gargon.  You could see this in person on August 4th at Jinxed in Philadelphia at our custom toy show that we put together.  We have a really neat mix of people participating, including well known toy artists, fine artists, car customizers, tattoo artists, and even a contestant from America's Next Top Model.  So come on out and see some amazing toys.

Stinky Poo by Bored Inc.



    Normally, if you were to wake up and find your kid snuggling a poop you would have great cause for concern.  Once the initial shock wore off you would have to worry about expensive therapy sessions and maybe even leaving your little one on the side of the road somewhere to be raised by the wolves that obviously birthed them.  But fear not, cause these poos are socially acceptable to snuggle.  These are Stinky Poo Plushies from Bored Inc. and they are making their debut at San Diego Comic Con.  can't make it to California?  Who cares, cause you can get these guys afterwards if you want.  My favorite is Poo-Quito and not just because this is what I think of whenever I pass by a Taco Bell.  Actually, that's the reason.  And I like his mustache.  

Rotofugi Exclusives for San Diego Comic Con



    Ok, so I figure I still have a little bit of time to sneak in some info about exclusives for San Diego Comic Con. Be ready to cry about more stuff us non convention goers can't have. You've been warned.

    Check out Grim Marshall from 64 Colors. Remember that thing I said about not being able to get stuff unless you're in California? Psyche!!! He'll be available after the convention too for $13.





     Oh, another toy that you can get after the big ol convention? Boom, here is is. This Helper Dragon from Tim Biskup is made using an old Mold-A-Rama Machine. Pretty fancy, and you can own one of these for $6. After that you can visit Rotofugi (when they get the machine working again) and make one for yourself.



    If you're a serious baller you can get this bronze version of the same figure for a mere $2700. This is why God invented the credit card and bankruptcy.



    I haven't spent the day at the lake in awhile, but I don't remember these guys lurking around. They will be $60 each and if you buy two, maybe you can convince them to mate and populate the lake nearest you. Or something.



    This dude is pretty tough looking. He's actually the trophy given out for the Triple Crown of Yo Yo and only 25 exist in this all blue version. $85 and he can be yours.

    Find all these at the Rotofugi booth #4736.

Lamour Supreme Presents Baby Huey



    Ok, I'm not a big fan of Maury Povich and his goal to DNA test everyone in the world who accidently became parents.  But if someone claimed that I fathered this dude, you better believe he's the first person I'd call to get this mutant love beast off my back.  I can't imagine the amount of child support it would take to feed such a creature.

    This is Baby Huey and he was created by one of my favorite toy peoples, Lamour Supreme.  You can get him at the Toy Tokyo booth #5336 this Friday at San Diego Comic Con.  I won't be there cause I start my new job on Friday, which unfortunately has nothing to do with toys.  Keep me in your prayers.

San Diego Comic Con Exclusives from Kotobukiya



    Kotobukiya make some of the most amazing "toys" I've ever seen. It doesn't hurt either that many of the items they make are attractive women, but I digress. Check out some of these variants they will have available for San Diego Comic Con:

    That cutie pictured above would love nothing more than to kick your skull in. It's Alisa Bosconovich from Tekken Tag Tournament in her Mishima Zaibatsu color variation. Shen is limited to 1500 pieces world wide and will cost $65.



    This is the white costume version of Storm from the X-Men. There are 2000 of her out there and she is $60.


    This is the X-23 X-Force edition. Only 1000 of this sharp clawed chick are available and she costs $60.

    Based on the large production runs of all of these I would imagine that there will be some left over available for all of us unable to attend the show. But if you don't wanna take that chance, you can go to www.kotous.com right now and preorder any of the figures above. I wish more companies did things like this instead of making collectors pay ridiculous prices to resellers. It would make me less angry.


Marvel x Hasbro SDCC Exclusive Releases



    Just think, after this week is over what will I have to write about? You'll probably have to read a lot of stories about my cats so I'm just warning you ahead of time. But fear not, I still have plenty of San Diego Comic Con news for you and this is all about the cool stuff Marvel and Hasbro will have available. You need a big ol box of evil doers to keep your good guys in business? Well how about this Masters of Evil 3 pack featuring Baron Zemo, Radioactive Man, and Tiger Shark. You can have 'me all for $30.



    Or maybe you already have boxes of bad guys and need to balance out all the bad vibes. Well here's an Uncanny X-Force 3 pack. Archangel, Wolverine, and Psylocke can be yours for $50. See, this is why everyone loves the bad guys, cause they're more affordable.






     This big chunk of plastic is definitely the toy to get. This is the S.H.I.E.L.D. Super Helicarrier and will set you back $130. What do you get for your money? How about 4 feet of awesome!! Besides awesome, you also get exclusive Captain America and Maria Hill figures. And launching projectiles galore. My cats would just sleep on it, rendering it's battle capabilities moot.
If there's anything left after the con they will be put on sale at www.hasbro.com.
