    Today's lack of meaningful blog posts can be attributed to the season premiere of Sons of Anarchy last night.  I'll try harder tomorrow.

Kidrobot 10th Anniversary Toy Releases

    It's kinda hard to believe that Kidrobot has only been around for ten years.  My wallet and credit score certainly agree that it feels much longer, but it has only been a decade.  So how does a toy company celebrate such a milestone?  By making new things for you to buy of course!  There will be 2 Mini Bots for starters, the one you see pictured above all decked out like a cast member from Toddlers and Tiaras, and the one you see below that is a bit understated with just his 10 logo designed by Tristan Eaton.  The beauty queen one will be available at tons of retailers, while the 10th anniversary edition will only be at Kidrobot stores and their website.  They're $14.95 each and come out on October 12th.

    But what would a celebration be without the most famous of their products, the Dunny.  Again, the design is simple and under normal circumstances I would complain a bit,  but being it is a piece to recognize their longevity in the toy world, I think it is appropriate.  It gets the point across without over thinking it.   There are two versions of this, the first being gold, which though they didn't specify, seems like the more common of the two:

    And the silver, which will only be available at Kidrobot New York starting October 12th in limited supplies for ten days to coincide with a retrospective exhibit they're holding.  Only 300 of these were made and they will be $50.  

    But what if you really want to declare your undying devotion to all things plastic?  Well then my friends, let me show you the ultimate way to pay homage to your favorite toy company.  This is the 20 inch gold Dunny and can be yours for $400.  Only 300 of this behemoth were made to help you celebrate like the toy pimp you are.  You can get one October 25th.

David Flores Deathhead Mickey Finally Available for Preorder

    I was wondering if I was ever going to be able to get one of these.  Finally, this November, we will be graced by one of the coolest vinyl toys I have ever seen.  This is the Deathshead Mickey created by David Flores and seen gracing the tshirts of the Hellfire Canyon Club.  This thing is 10 inches tall and just mean looking.  I've been coveting it from the moment I saw it and preordered mine the second I found a store offering to do so.  

Doku Duo from Super7 Available Now!!

    This little guy came out yesterday, but I believe in being fashionably late (and having to go to work) so I'm telling you about him today.  This is the Doku Duo Blue edition from Super7.  I couldn't begin to tell you what he's supposed to be.  Is he a bird with a dead ice cream cone hat?  Maybe.  Maybe he's your spirit guide coming to take you on a grand adventure through the cosmos.  Maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night and that actually makes more sense to me than it should.  For $35 you can get one and make it be whatever you like.  

Super7 x Lamour Supreme Cosmos Mongolian for NYCC

    New York Comic Con is just around the corner and we're finally starting to see some of the crazy exclusives that will be available.  This one is going to be hard to top in my book.  It's the Cosmos Mongolian from Lamour Supreme and Super7 and this due is looking sick in purple glitter vinyl.  This will be available at the Super7 booth and is definitely on my wish list.

Kings of Atlantis Minis from Argonaut Resins Release Tonight!!!!!

    These skulls look like the coolest candy that no one has ever made yet.  These are the Kings of Atlantis Minis from Argonaut Resins and you could get one of your very own tonight!!!!!!  These things always sell out quickly and I always am late to the party when it comes to posting about them, but finally I am on top of things.  My slow ability at reporting the news is probably why NBC hasn't offered me a spot on The Today Show yet.  Obviously they're not ready for how much better I could make that show.  Be ready at 10pm Eastern time tonight to get yours.  

Game of Thrones Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    HOLY CRAP!  How often do I say that about something?  Ok, maybe a few times here and there, but I rarely put it in all caps.  These Game of Thrones Pop! Vinyls from Funko were a nice surprise to see in my Facebook feed and are a must-own for anybody vaguely interested in the hit book and tv series.  These guys will be available in November this year, and are epically adorable.  

    How does every other character have these crazy names and this guy is just Ned Stark?  He sounds like he may enjoy Nascar, drinking whatever beer happens to be on sale, and cooking road kill.  Not that I don't have relatives that enjoy those same activities, but still.
