Domo x DC Comics Figures from Funko

    Can Funko do wrong?  I mean, if they sat down and were like "look, lets release something really crappy, like Sanford and Son toys" could they even suck if they tried?  By the way, if anyone with any authority on making these things is listening, I would buy Sanford and Son action figures.  

    But seriously, they're pairing up one of the world's most recognizable icons in Domo, with some of the world's most well known super heroes from DC Comics, and then turning them into their already ridiculously popular Pop! Vinyl style figures.  It's genius.  Look for these guys this February .

    But did they stop there?  No, the genius kept on coming.  They also are releasing blind boxed mini figures next month too!  These feature a few extra characters and a couple rare ones that will have completists on eBay selling their souls to own.  

D.E.A.T.H. Figure Sets from Edge of Doom

    I think just about everyone in the world is making their own interpretations of the classic M.U.S.C.L.E. men figures.  I went over to my in laws house for Christmas and there, at the kitchen table, were a pile of little plastic dudes getting their heads sawed off and replaced with those of plastic dinosaurs.  Ok, that didn't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.  

    While there may be a lot of people making these dudes now, these have to be some of my favorites.  Edge of Doom, who I'm sure is really named Steve or something, has made Darth Vader and Stormtrooper wrasslin men and is selling them for cheap.  $10 will get you a 3 pack of Stormtroopers in either white, green, or pink.  $13 will get you a Darth Vader and two Stormtroopers.   It's the best deal of the year thus far.  Order yours at http://edgeofdoom.bigcartel.com/.

Follow Us On Instagram

    I understand many people are pissed at Instagram and their new terms of service (which they did update by the way).  But let's be realistic; no one is going to take the pictures of you eating at Olive Garden and put them on a billboard in Times Square.  Frankly, I wish Pepsi would use a picture of my cats in one of their ads.  I would frame it right above their litter boxes and put an extra copy on the fridge.  Other products I would like to endorse include Goldfish, Cheez-Itz, Harley-Davidson, Dr. Marten's, Colt 45, Smith and Wesson, the Russian Space Program, grunge rock, any brand of flannel shirts as long as they're nice and not too thin, and Target.  The ball is in your court advertising execs.

   If you still like Instagram as much as I do you can follow us there.  Our username is TheToyViking and last time I checked there was only one of us, which is good cause lawyers are expensive.   I also guarantee that I took all pictures while in my underwear. Yes, even the ones in public.

Sideshow Collectibles x DC Comics 6th Scale Figures

    I normally wouldn't write about something in which I can't give you a release date, because it drives me insane to not include all of the pertinent details.  But I can't control what a company wants us to know, I can only present what they will allow me.  Which, in this case, are these 5 pictures of Sideshow Collectibles upcoming 6th scale DC Comics figures.  So what do we know about them?  Well, they're all wearing actual sewn clothing.  That's kinda nifty.  And we know that the pose they put Catwoman in makes her look like she has the mother of all child bearing hips and a T-Rex arm.   Not a good look.  Other than that they're really detailed and will most likely be priced like a months rent on a one bedroom apartment in the midwest.  Now is the time to return that Snuggie you got for Christmas.  

Old Timey Stingy Jack from Brandt Peters

    This guy will kill you in your sleep.  There is no doubt in my mind that he is filled with bad intentions.  Evidently this picture was taken after he cleaned himself up from some crazy murder spree, hence the lack of DNA evidence.  See, those  Insane Clown Posse morons think that they're frightening (which they are, because every time I see one of their equally stupid fans I know exactly where my tax dollars are going and it scares me that we don't just put them to sleep) but this is legitimate horror film level spooky.

    His name is Stingy Jack (stingy because he likes to hoard the souls of children all for himself?) and he is the creation of Brandt Peters.  Don't for a minute think that I don't like this guy, because his creepiness is was makes him appealing.  This guy will be available for preorder January 4th for those of you lucky enough to attend Mr. Peter's art show at Stranger Factory.  For the rest of us, we have to wait until later in the month to get a crack at this guy.  

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.
