Play Imaginative at STGCC



    Our friends at Play Imaginative will be pre releasing a ton of stuff at the Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention this weekend, so if you're going you'll be able to get it all first and make everyone else in the world jealous. If you're a Spongebob fan you'll make out like gangbusters as they not only will be selling toys, but also clothing as well.

    I like the DC Comics Trexis that are just clear plastic and adorned with the iconic logos of various super heroes. It's as simple as design can get, but when you're working with something like the Justice League, how much more do you really need? The Evirob figures by Devilrobots have always been a personal favorite, so it's nice to know I'll be able to get these after the convention. If you're going, stop by, say hi, and get a ton of new toys.





Creo Design Chebaka Preorders Now Available



    When I think of Russia l lots of things come to mind. The KGB, that guy from Rocky, excellence in women's gymnastics (stop judging me). But this is the first time Russia will have ever been known for designer toys. Cause it's the first one, duh.

    Creo Design has teamed up IToyz to bring you Chebaka. This guy stands 4 inches tall and comes in five different colors,with only 100 pieces per color available. My wife and I have pretty much decorated our entire house with toys, but of you're not into that sort of commitment, then these would be good ways to introduce your obsession into other parts of your living space without going full on Pee Wee's Playhouse about it. Or just buy them cause they're cute. Either way.

Monster Embryos from Taylored Curiosities



    Ever think about having kids but that whole "diaper changing, crying at 2 am, baby phase" kinda put you off?  Well then have we got the solution for you.  Instead of having a whole baby, why not just have an adorable little embryo to call your own!!!  You can take him (or her, who's to say) to the park and hang out with the other parents without having to make a trip to the emergency room when your kid finds a crack pipe in the sand box.  And I'm pretty sure you get the same tax write offs.

    These Monster Embryos were hand made by Penny Taylor, better known as Taylored Curiosities.  This is her first foray into the world of resin toys as she usually makes aromatherapy plushies.  These will be up for sale in her shop tonight for £10 and there are only 15 of them available so bookmark http://tayloredcuriosities.bigcartel.com/ and be ready.

Doktor A x Kidrobot 8 Inch Dunnys!!!!!!!!!!



    I was doing my best, trying to behave before New York Comic Con, when all of a sudden this pops up.  And my biggest problem is I can't decide which one I like the best, I was leaning toward the pink and black one and my wife said she liked the silver and copper one, so it looks like I will be making a play for both of them.  Oh the humanity!!!!!

  Doktor A and Kidrobot are going to be giving my credit card a workout with these two 8 inch Dunnys.  The silver and copper one is an exclusive for Kidrobot stores and their website, while the pink and black dude will be available to retailers.  Only 600 of each exist and if having two of them didn't torture me enough there's also a 1/6 chase version.  Curses!!!!!  These are available September 6th and probably won't be available anymore on the 7th.  I needs them.

The Walking Dead Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    The Walking Dead is not my favorite show in the world, but for some reason I can't make myself stop watching it.  I liked the first season ok, and I thought the last half of the second season was good, but overall it's a lot like True Blood is for me.  I feel like I'm in too deep just to give up on it now.  Plus, Sons of Anarchy isn't on every day of the year for some weird reason, so I have to have something else to occupy my time.  

    I do however like these new Pop! Vinyl interpretations of the characters by our pals at Funko.  Especially Daryl, cause we all know he's the best character on the show and the only one that doesn't deserve to be eaten alive by the undead.  Why can't Carl's mother ever keep an eye on him?  She only has one job!  And thank God Rick finally manned up and took care of that business with Shane (which his wife wanted him to do and then she got mad about it, WTF).  But Daryl just goes about his business being a hillbilly, eating squirrels, and riding his chopper.  Life hasn't really changed much for him cause it's pretty much what he would be doing anyway.  And the cross bow is a greatly underutilized weapon in our modern culture.  Look for these figures to be available in November. or click our Entertainment Earth banner at the bottom of the screen and preorder them now so you can forget about them and be surprised when they show up at your door.

Hollis Forever by Le Merde x Super7


    Is he a rock star?  Is he a tennis pro from the 70's?  Is he a rock star tennis pro from the 70's that drives a van with a plush interior and a mini bar with a painting of a valkyrie riding a polar bear as she descends from Asgard on the side and an ironic "Vote Nixon" sticker on the bumper?  Yes, yes he is.  And he is a vampire and he is available now for $35 from Le Merde and Super7.  You're welcome.

Custom Toy of the Week: Emily Bee



    Did you know the already amazing Tuttz cats from Argonaut Resins could look even more....amazinger????  This kitty cat was painted by the overly talented Emily Bee, who is a world traveling, film animating, art making wonder person.  How does she find the time for all of these things?  I think a bending of the space/time continuum is the only explanation.  You could actually own this guy on Tuesday, August 28th at 1pm EST when he goes up for sale in her shop: http://emilybee.bigcartel.com/.  You know, my birthday is coming up, so if anyone would like to hook a brother up I wouldn't be mad at ya.
