One Black Friday Post to Rule Them All
There's a lot of releases for black Friday that don't involve standing in line at Best Buy for hours just to have some housewife punch you in the face for the last plasma tv. You can stay at home, where it's warm and hopefully less violent, and shop from the comfort of your computer. Here's the rundown. Take notes.
Frank Kozik will be unleashing his Smoke version of Kim Jong Il in resin. These little jerks will run you $35 each and only 30 of them exist. Be quick with your computer, cause these will go fast as he routinely breaks the Guinness World Record for fastest internet toy sales. At least he would if they kept track of that sort of thing and stopped messing around with the length of people's fingernails.
MAD is well versed in the resin game himself and will be releasing 13 of his handmade Modern Hero figures in all black. They even come lovingly packaged in a wooden display case that has been etched with lasers! I don't have any lasers at home because my wife doesn't trust me with such things and figures I will try to build a Death Star. These will cost $300.
I'm gonna go ahead and warm you. If you buy this necklace you will grow a beard, learn black magic, and probably just get yourself into some general all-around shenanigans. That being said, YOU REALLY NEED TO BUY THIS. This Lurker necklace from Skinner is the perfect accessory to any mugshot/photo with the mall Santa. They'll be on super sale for only $35 each.
I'll admit it, I'm a video game nerd. I have spent countless hours of my life living vicariously through pixelated characters doing things I never could in real life. Well, some of it I could I suppose, but I don't think I'd have a great time dealing with the consequences. That's where people like Nathan Drake come in. He has been captured here in all his plastic glory by Erick Scarecrow. Only 4 of these exist in this great big world and if you buy one you're entered to win a special all white version that was never made for sale.
He'll also have 15 pieces of the Marina figure you see below.

Junko Mizuno x Kidrobot Black
If one were to build an altar to all things plastic, this figure would not suck as the center piece. Kidrobot Black and Junko Mizuno have gotten together to make this insane toy. It's called Kuro Megami which loosely translates to "big hunk of expensive plastic." Standing (or sitting I suppose) at 11 inches tall, only 200 of theses were produced and will run you $400 a pop. Let me know if you get one so I can rob you. Just kidding, I meant so I can offer to do lawn work.
Argonaut Resins Monster Magnets Series 2
You know what makes me mad? How much your fridge sucks. Got ahead, go and look at it and be sad. You're putting your kid's good report card up there with magnets from the Chinese food place down the street. It's a sad way to show off their academic achievements. Get some cool magnets from Argonaut Resins and put their weird stick figure portraits of you up there in style!
This is series 2 of their popular Monster Magnets and they're ready to add some flare to your fridge. For $40 you get a set of 6 that you can paint or leave just as they are. If you have a bit of extra cash and no artistic ability, you can get this artist series painted by Adam Pratt for $99.

Frank Kozik x Mike Egan New Bones Figures Release Today
Well, I was planning to go and get my haircut today, but then Frank Kozik decides he wants to drop all these amazing releases and now I'm scared to leave the house for fear I might miss them and tumble down a spiral of depression. But my hair is getting to "homeless" stage so I may just have to forget about heading to my friend in Philadelphia and find a more local option who can ensure that I won't spend all day reading back issues of People magazine and chit chatting about nonsense. You know life isn't all that bad when this is all you really get stressed out about.
Kozik is unleashing more of his disturbing, hand painted versions of Mike Egan's Bones figures. You could pick up the snazzy red Hanta Virus edition, or cool things down with the blue Hypothermia version. Or buy one of each cause you don't have to choose, this is America after all. We invented hoarding and snack cakes in 17 different flavors so we don't have to "make decisions" we can just "get them all and eat our way into diabetes and not throw away the wrappers so our houses are filled with 4 foot walls of garbage that may collapse and crush us one day." So basically, if you don't get one of each you're a sissy communist.
These will be released at noon Pacific time today at www.frankkozik.net
Frank Kozik's Fire Eater Resin Heathrows to Benefit Coney Island Sideshow and Museum
The misses and I have traveled to Coney Island on several occasions to experience a place that is truly the last of its kind. The entire boardwalk/amusement park/American crazy place really has to be seen to be understood. But once you're there it crawls under your skin and makes a permanent home within. It's a lot of fun, it's weird, it's like something out of a horror movie where no real danger exists but you feel like it's going to end poorly for you anyway. In other words, it may be the best place on Earth.
Hurricane Sandy hit a few weeks ago and left my beloved Coney Island in shambles. One of the best places to visit in Coney Island is the Sideshow and Museum and Frank Kozik has created these limited edition Heathrow figures to raise money and help them rebuild. There are going to be 50 of these Fire Eater hedgehogs on sale for $30 each and all of the proceeds will go towards helping rebuild this landmark. Get yours beginning at noon Pacific time today.

Cosmic Godhead Cthulhu by Colin Christian
There are very few artists today I find as awe-inspiring as Colin Christian. Normally, he's known for making super tall space girls that I would kill to own, but for this release he's gone a bit darker. But I would still kill to own one. Just throwin that out there in case you wanna buy me one in exchange for some dirty work.
This Lovecraft-inspired sculpture is called the Cosmic Godhead. It is hand cast in resin, stand 17 inches tall, and is painted so that the color shifts depending on how you look at it. Only 50 of these exist and you can own one for only $200. Just send Colin an email at Colin@hotboxdesigns.com, Tweet him @colin_christian, or even message him on Facebook if you're interested in purchasing one.
Check out a video Colin made that shows off the color changing effects of the paint and the amount of detail that is in the piece:
