New Release + Toy of the Month Club from Motorbot




    The first ever resin toy I bought was made by Motorbot.  He makes cool stuff and is really reasonable with his pricing, which is hard to find in the world of hand made toys.  This angry little bugger is his latest creation and will be going up for sale today at noon at http://deadbear.limitedrun.com/.  




    While you're at it you should also check out his toy of the month club.  For $270 you get a brand spanking new toy every month (hence the name) and the colors will be exclusive and sometimes so will the sculpts.  Only 10 spots are open for this so don't be a jive turkey and debate about what you should do.  Buy it sucka.

Kronk's Got a Brand New Toy ****UPDATE****






    Update!!!!!!!!!!!  It's the first picture of the actual toy!!!!!!!!!!!  Exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!




    Ooooooooooooh this is pretty exciting.  Kronk, who has had a ton of toys release this year through Kidrobot, is now making his own figures.  What do we know about this so far?  About as much as you see here, but you know his designs never suck so you have nothing to worry about.  It looks like it will be some sexy devil chick but that may just be my keen investigating skills taking over a bit.  Or it could be pretty obvious from the picture.  Either way you should follow that man on Twitter and Facebook so you don't miss out when it releases.  



Batman Pop! Vinyl Speaker from Funko




    Toys are like teenagers:  they're lazy.  They sucker us in to loving them and then all they do is collect dust and get us yelled at for taking up so much room in the house.  If only they would get a job, maybe contribute a bit more.  Well looks like they're well on their way to earning that spot on your bookcase.

    This cute little Batman Pop! Vinyl from Funko doubles as a portable speaker.  Take him to work, take him on a picnic, take him wherever you've been taking your toys with you like a crazy person and now be able to justify it!!!!!  You can have a dance party with The Dark Knight in January for about $25.

New Monster Boogie Release This Week from Max Toy Co.



    I don't get to write about Max Toy Co. releases too much because by the time I sit down to type they're always sold out.  Well this time I'm in luck because these figures will release sometime this week, so we all still have a chance to snag them.  These little kaiju guys are under the new Monster Boogie label and they are the most adorable, city-destroying critters I have ever seen.  There's a few different figures, but my favorites are the cats.  I want every single one of them.  



    These dinosaur guys look pretty sweet too though.  I guess you need someone for the cats to battle.  And just in case you didn't have a miniature city lying around the house, they've also made little buildings and storage tankers so you can cause maximum destruction.



This looks like it isn't going to end well.  


     Keep an eye on http://www.maxtoyco.com and follow them on Facebook and Twitter for info on when these will drop.  They will sell out fast so ya gotta be quick.

After Christmas Sales




    I know what you're thinking.  Christmas hasn't even gone cold yet and already I'm posting about sales.  You know you can't get enough stuff.  That's why you collect toys.  If you could control your spending you would take up a hobby like bird watching or serial killing.  There's no shame in wanting everything you can get your grubby mitts on, so you might as well save some money while you do it.

Lego Back to The Future Sets are Coming



   Saw this posted around the internet so I thought I'd share it here as well.  Lego will be producing official Back to the Future set sometime in...the future.  These were fan designed and were so popular that they will now be offered for sale.  Now maybe they will finally make that Snakes on a Plane set that has been long overdue.  



TAG x Secret Base Karakasa Tattoo Man Painted Edition



    This thing scares the crap outta me.  Do you remember when they were remaking all of those Japanese horror movies for awhile and every one of the ghosts looked like this?  I feel like this guy would creep up behind you and make some weird throaty noise that signaled your death was near.  

    This is the Karakasa Tattoo Man from Secret Base and Toy Art Gallery.  The tattoo work on the figure is stunning, but that doesn't offset the fact that I think he's going to murder me.  If you're a bit braver than I am you can purchase on of these freaky dudes on Christmas Eve for $100.  Of spend $120 and get a poster designed by Hiroshi from Three Tides Tattoo who did this creepy dudes ink work.  Get one at shop.toyartgallery.com.
