Ultrus Bog Black Earth Scalded Magma Soul Edition

    What's not to like about this guy?  Anyone who knows me knows I've been coveting one of these for awhile now and maybe this is my chance to strike.  You can't own a toy like this if you're a sissy, cause it will rip out your soul and make sandwiches from your leftover flesh husk.  Good sandwiches too, not that crap you get pre packaged at the gas station that will turn your intestines into low income housing for parasites.  No, we're talking primo deli meats with all the fixins.  And he'll do it all while listening to lo-fi Norwegian black metal cassettes from the early 90's.

    This is Ultrus Bog and he has sprung from the twisted mind that sloshes around in the skull of one named Skinner.  It might be my favorite toy ever that I don't own.  You can get one of your own and make me jealous on October 1st from Lullubell Toy Bodega at 1pm Pacific time.  

Rsin x Kidrobot NYCC Exclusive Dunny Release

    Ok, this is my must have for New York Comic Con.  Rsin is finally getting a production figure and it is on what I consider the king of all vinyl platform toys.  This 3 inch Dunny is a NYCC exclusive, limited to 1200 pieces and will be available at their booth # 2909 begining Friday at the con.  Rsin will also be signing from 12-2pm that day and he has a booth with Tenacious Toys all weekend just in case you miss him the first go round.  The best part of this being my must-have item of the convention?  It's only $14.95!!!

myplasticheart's First NYCC Exclusives Announced

    myplasticheart doesn't play around when it comes to exclusives for New York Comic Con.  Every year they have a ton of cool things that would look cool chillin on your entertainment center and now they're giving us a peak at this years must haves.  

    First up, some wacky flavored Mini Ice Scream Men from Brutherford Industries.  My wife spent 10 years of her life living in Taiwan, so I've heard many stories about her interesting culinary adventures, but none of them surprise me more than the one's about snack foods.  Squid chips?  Wasabi peas?  I definitely didn't have access to that stuff growing up in Virginia, so it never fails to fascinate me.  Now many of us may have never tried green tea, red bean, or black sesame ice cream before, but we can now bring some home and not worry about it going bad before we get the courage to taste is.  You can buy all 3 for only $52, or get one for $20.  Only 50 of each were made and Mr. Brutherford himself will sign his name on them for you Friday at noon.  

    If you're lactose intolerant maybe this guy is more your speed.  It's the Gin and Tonic edition of Doktor A's Chester Runcorn.  This steampunk gent from Kuso Vinyl is a pre release and will cost $64.99.  The good Doc will be signing his wares on Saturday at 4pm.  

    I think this is my favorite of the bunch so far.  This is Chris Ryniak's Ivory Edition Misfortune Cat.  What made kitty sad enough to do something so drastic?  Probably you, but you'll have to work that out in therapy I suppose.  I think I'm gonna get this as my tombstone when I pass on to the great beyond.  Seriously, it would be the coolest thing in the cemetery.  Only 100 of these guys were made and they will set you back $55.  Mr. Ryniak will also be at the con on Friday at 4pm so I can discuss plans for my memorial with him.  I wonder how much a 4 foot tall one in stone would cost?

Catwoman Ame-Comi Holiday Figure

    I'm not much for holiday decorating because, frankly, I have other things to do.  My Christmas tree almost always gets to witness Valentine's Day and my Halloween pumpkins end up looking like a crime scene before I ever throw them away.  It's a lot of commitment.  

    That's why this toy is so genius because it is Christmas themed, but its cool enough to leave out year round so you don't feel like a lazy troll when you neglect to put it away.  Catwoman is looking all gift wrapped in this Ame-Comi figure from DC Collectibles.  She'll be available in November, just in time to get you in the holiday spirit to beat up housewives for a WiiU.  

Metal Gear Solid Rex Plastic Model Kit from Kotobukiya

    I was always terrible at putting together models.  My brother in law, however, is a beast at it.  He can create these amazingly realistic dioramas that depict scenes from World War 2 and the best I can manage is to glue a lot of pieces to my hands and quit out of frustration.  Patience was never my strong suit.

    That being said, I wouldn't know where to begin with this monstrosity.  This Metal Gear Rex from Kotobukiya stands 9 inches tall when you put it's 600 pieces together.  The pieces are all prepainted too, so it will look a little less like a 3rd grade art project from those of us with less than steady hands.  You even get some little dudes to stomp to death or blow to bits.  This mean looking model will be available in January for $79.99.  

Lou Pimentel x MPH Labs Junior Sofubi

    Lou Pimentel's Cranston Fellows Jr. figure has always been popular, but do we really know the man behind the uh...bat...thingy? Once upon a time he was just a wee little lad and was simply knows as "Junior". MPH Labs and Lou are coming out with this prequel figure made in soft Japanese vinyl. Everything else is pretty much a mystery about this guy except that I want one in every color they make.

Tenacious Toys x Scott Tolleson Uncle Argh Noir Mini Qee

    Awhile back Tenacious Toys teamed up with Scott Tolleson and Toy2r to run a successful Kickstarter campaign and give birth to this guy. You may have thought you missed your chance to snag one for yourself, but you couldn't be more wrong. Starting tomorrow you can go to www.tenacioustoys.com and get one for yourself. They'll also have some available at their booth at New York Comic Con in case you'll be there. I recomend not keeping this guy in your bedroom because you will most likely scare the crap out of yourself every morning. Those eyes never stop staring.
