Pierced: Shades of Grey by Parra x Kidrobot

    This looks like the sort of thing a swinger couple would have sitting in their living room to let you know that they're kinda freaky.  If you were to go to someone's house and you spotted this on a shelf, don't sit on the furniture.  God only knows what has happened there and you'd probably have to burn your pants just to make you feel better about whatever contamination you were exposed to.

    If you're into this you can buy one on January 31st from Kidrobot.  But just know that a statue of weird bird people in various stages of undress sends a distinct message to your guests and if you see them cringe you have only yourself to blame.  Out of politeness they probably won't burn their clothes in your house (plus they'd have to get naked and that's what you freaks want) but just know that you ruined that outfit.

Fonzo Loves New York Custom Show Tonight at myplasticheart

    What are you doing tonight?  If you live in the New York area you better not be sitting at home, watching Netflix and crying into a tub of Ben and Jerry's.  Cause myplasticheart is having a custom show featuring Fonzo, the cute little vinyl dog from Freak Store.  Tons of artists customized these guys to make him look all spiffy and you can go and see them in person and even purchase one if you've got that kinda cash laying around.  Here is the list of artists that made custom toys:

64Colors, ArtMymind, Andrew Bell, Ardabus Rubber, Aya Kakeda, Alisa Ross, Beast Brothers, Bonethrower, Burundanga Design, Chuckboy, Camila D´Errico, Charles Rodriguez, Dave Pressler, DoubleParlour, Fuller Designs, Gary Ham, Greg Mike, Grimsheep, Gabriel Carpio, Brandt Peters, Kathie Olivas, Hydro74, Ian Ziobrowski, Jeff Lamm, Jermaine Rogers, Jeremiah Ketner, Kano, Martin Hsu, Nakanari, Rsin, Scribe, Southerndrawl, Scott Tolleson, Thomas Han

Custom Toy of the Week Take 2: KidKratos from Commandante

    Normally, I'm not a fan of the Kidrobot mascot toys.  The only one I own is the Viking one made by The Beast Brothers, and that is for obvious reasons.  If I'm going to buy a toy from them I'd much rather get a new Dunny, whose likeness can really be transformed by the artist working on it.  Plus they feels like less of an advertisement in my home than a company logo in 3D form.   

    This, however, is stunning.  Commandante has taken the mascot and transformed him into Kratos from the God of War video game franchise.  I'm a bit biased because they are my favorite games, but the workmanship is outstanding on this figure.  You may now continue to gaze in wonderment.

The Goblin Army from DuBose Art

     You never know what you're going to stumble upon when you're bored and playing around on the internet.  Sometimes you see things that you wish could be removed from your brain and burned on the front lawn.  Other times you discover someone making cool toys that you had never heard of before.  These Goblins were made by DuBose Art and will be up for sale tomorrow at 4pm CST.  There will be 3 of them available in this unpainted green and 4 more that will be painted in various colors like you see below.  The detail is insane and really pops when they've been painted. These are some of the best resin figures I've seen in awhile.  

Here's a better picture of what they look like, though these are a different color than the ones that will be available. 

Scott Tolleson x Erick Scarecrow Papa Sama Akuma

    This is an overload of cuteness.  Seriously, my head may explode and my wife will come home to find bits of my skull and brain strewn about the room.  She's gonna be mad because this is the room where we keep our best stuff since one of our cats has an issue with eating everything in sight.  We lock our shoes in here every night so he doesn't eat the laces.  Just about anything we think he may decide to inject we keep stored in here, so a lot will get damaged if my head does in fact explode.  I'm gonna walk away for a few minutes just to let things calm down.

    Ok, crisis averted.  Scott Tolleson and Erick Scarecrow have joined forces to create this unholy demon of adorableness.  This is Papa Sama Akuma, all decked out in his little argyle sweater and his little tooth sticking out.  Only 17 of these hand painted resin figures will be available tomorrow at http://esctoy.limitedrun.com/ so get up early if you want one.  I'm going to go and watch a snuff film now to counteract the cuteness.  

Jason Chalker x Outsmart Originals Tee Shirt

    Boba Fett is such a mysterious character.  We know he likes money, and get a kick out of turning people into fancy wall hangings.  But who new he was also into hot rod culture?  Outsmart Originals continues their popular line of toy artist t-shirts with this one from Jason Chalker.  He gives everyone's favorite bounty hunter the Rat Fink treatment on this limited edition tee and as a bonus, everyone who buys one will be entered for a chance to win the original art used to make the shirt!

Bait Exclusive Strife and Sire from Nathan Hamill

    Nathan Hamill is barely giving us time to recover from holiday spending before dropping this on us.  I forgive him though, because anger just leads to indigestion and who needs that.  This is the "Fire and Ice" edition of his Strife and Sire figures and they are an exclusive to BAIT (which is a store in California  in case you were wondering).  Only 100 of these dudes were made in this color scheme and you can get one on the 19th when Nathan will be there signing them from 5-7pm.  Each one comes with the mini print seen below, so now you can finally get rid of that Bob Marley poster and hang some real art on the wall.
