Olympic Themed Mascot from Kidrobot

    I love the Olympics and I really can't explain why. The only sport I ever watch in real life is hockey, and I'm not terribly patriotic. It every time the Summer Olympics comes around I get all excited and watch as much of it as possible. I reaaaaalllly love the Winter Olympics the best though, cause every one of those sports was invented by crazy folks with a foot of snow in the yard and nothing better to do. Just think about them, every single event is pretty much based on boredom. Get stuck in the house for a week during a horrible snow storm and you'll be amazed at the nonsense you think is a good idea.

    Kidrobot is so worked up about the Games they decided to make an athletic Mascot. He comes completed with dumbbell and syringe filled with go juice. You can get this 3 inch competitor for $14.95 on July 27th. There's only 2012 in the world, cause that's the year and stuff.

Custom Toy of the Week: Jon-Paul Kaiser

    I have a black cat by the name of Icarus who has an issue with ingesting things. He eats shoelaces, shirt sleeves, bits of carpet, plastic bags, etc. etc. Basically there is very little we can leave around the house that he will not try to swallow. One day a lone slug managed to squeeze his way under our storm door and enter our house. We didn't see his entrance, but we discovered him after hearing a loud slurping sound coming from behind a chair. Icarus had sucked the slime off of 90% of the intruder before I was able to rescue it from being completely devoured. My wife, already not a huge fan of slugs, threw up.

    Now imagine the rolls were reversed and 2 slugs went about sucking my poor kitty's brain.  Here you have that scenario courtesy of Jon-Paul Kaiser.  I private collector commissioned him to run wild on a Betso Dunny and this was the final result.  Pretty dang cool me thinks.  If you ask really nicely, and throw some cash money into the mix, Mr. Kaiser would love to make a custom creation for you.  Hit him up at http://www.jonpaulkaiser.com/ and check out more of his amazing black and white creations.

Dudebox is Our Newest Sponsor!

    You may have noticed, but we have a new button on the right side of our page from Dudebox!!! We love their products, such as the DIY Dude pictured above, and their blind box series of figures. Speaking of which, Dudebox is doing something with their Big Bang set that is unheard of in the vinyl toy world. They're opening them up and letting you buy the ones you really want. I know you think I'm joking, but this is serious business. Pretty soon they're gonna open up the Super Amazing Spectacular set too, which is double the crazy. Of course you could still buy them blind boxed, but if you're not the gambling sort then you no longer have to worry. Just click on ye olde button on the right there and you're on your way to getting hooked up with some really cool toys.

Kozik x Kidrobot Present the Goon Squad

    Now I can finally afford to do some decorating with some of my favorite megalomaniacs from throughout history. Kozik's been making these busts in much larger sizes for years now, but they are usually a tad out of my price range. I'm not mad though, cause you can't carry the big ones around the way you can these new 4 inch dudes, which could come in handy. Who wouldn't want to have a pocket Vladimir Lenin to consult when things get weird? It's better than that stupid Magic 8 Ball that everyone used to love.

    These technicolor oppressors are made by the plastic experts at Kidrobot and come in 5 different colors. You can pick which bro you want, but the color will be a surprise. They will be available July 26th for $9.95 each and I'm fairly certain Mr. Kozik will have artist proof sets available on his website as well. Check out www.frankkozik.net for more info on that.

Monster Worship SDCC Leftovers Available Saturday

    Rottweiler Herpes. Do I really need to say anything else? How could you not want a toy named Rottweiler Herpes? Ok, so maybe he does have a certain symbol on him from World War II that has added a bit of controversy to this release, but in all fairness it is part of his story in Johnny Ryan's Prison Pit comics, and this really is more a piece of art than something you'd give your kids to play with. Regardless of how you feel about that, there's no denying this is one of the best toy designs of the year.

    You can get this and many other awesome toy bros that Monster Worship made for San Diego Comic Con this Saturday, July 21st at 2pm eastern time. You have to go to http://www.monsterworship.com and hope I don't get everything before you do.

    The nice folks from Kuso Vinyl had a butt ton of releases for this years San Diego Comic Con and it made me sad that I could not go and give them all my money. But fear not, cause now they are prepared to take your cash no matter where you live as their exclusives from the con are now available on their website. Take a peek at all that could be yours and then go to http://www.kusovinyl.com/ and get these before they're gone forever.

Kozik x Kidrobot Purple and Yellow Plushy Labbits

    I wish real rabbits had mustaches. Like big, bare-knuckle boxer mustaches from the dawn of industry. If I ever meet a genie, this dream of mine will finally come true. Right after I get a really sick motorcycle, the ability to grow mutton chops, and a pet Bengal tiger named Thor. But number four on my list is definitely a mustache for every bunny in the world.

    Kozik and the folks at Kidrobot would probably be ok with that, since they're doing everything in their power to make it happen. These plushy Labbits can now be yours in both yellow and purple and in two different sizes to fit your needs. If you have a lot of space in your place then you can get a 14 inch one, or if you're a hoarder like me and space is a premium, maybe you wanna go for the 7 inch fun size. The big un will cost ya $39.95 and the little un is $17.95. Get em July 26th.
