Dr. Who Vinyl Figures



    I may be the last human being on Earth that hasn't watched an episode of Dr. Who.  But then again I don't know one dude who is actually into the show.  Every girl in the world is into it, but none of my guy friends watch it, so I assume it isn't for me.  Maybe I'll give it a try one day just to see what all the fuss is about.  Maybe I won't though.  I'm kinda fickle like that, plus every episode of The X-Files in on Netflix, so I don't know how much free time I see in my near future.

    For those of you that are obsessed with this show, I present to you these vinyl toys.  They are blind boxed and feature 14 different figures.  They retail for $9.99 and I'm sure if you want them you are already scouring the internet to hunt them down.  I'll leave you to your work.  

Cosmic Rose Vampire DX from Super7




    It's a Super7 Super Secret Surprise Release for New Years Party Extravaganza Toy Thingy.  The Rose Vampire is lookin all sparkly for 2013 and is gonna have a hard time explaining to his wife why he came home covered in glitter.  He better have been making arts and crafts with disadvantaged youth and not hanging out with girls trying to work their way through college.  This is an episode of Maury Povich waiting to happen.

    Supposedly this guy is available now, but the link isn't working on the Super7 website.  When you are able to snag one it will set you back $65 and you may get one sporting a red cape, or you may get one looking like a gentleman in a black cape.  That's the luck of the draw my friends.

Flight Dunny by kaNO and Kidrobot



    This guy looks like those weird sneakers that people line up to buy in the mall at 6 in the morning. Those shoes look ridiculous to me, but as a toy I'm cool with it. He even has a bit of a Transformers vibe to him, which helps me forget about his resemblance to Air Jordans.

    This 3 inch Dunny was made by kaNO and Kidrobot. Everybody is speculating that there will be 3 different color schemes based on the picture, but I don't think anything has been confirmed. What is true though is that 3000 of these guys were made, will sell for $14.95 each, and will be released on January 17th. That will give you plenty of time to file for bankruptcy from Christmas shopping and start your financial situation over. That's probably not true but good luck on that.




New Year Calaveritas by The Beast Brothers



    Why do things like this always come out after Christmas? I'm trying to behave myself and not start off the new year worrying about credit card bills, but the temptation is pretty high with these.

    These are the New Year Calaveritas by The Beast Brothers. There are only 13 pieces of each color of these soft vinyl skulls and they got on sale today at 1pm EST. They will be $70 and only available at http://thebeastbrothers.storenvy.com/.

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.
