New Shirt and Beanie from RSIN x Outsmart Originals

   RSIN is well on his way to becoming a fashion mogul, like Tommy Hillfiger, or those Olsen Twins.  This is already his second shirt with Outsmart Originals and this time he gets a beanie too!  Will pants be next?  What about sensible shoes that transform from a day at the office to an evening on the town?   Is Project Runway in his future?  It could happen.

   The tee is $20 and the beanie is $15 or you can get the set for $30.  Plus, every purchase you make of either one will enter you to win a custom toy from the man himself.  You can't get deals like this buying crap from Hot Topic, so go right now to http://www.outsmartoriginals.com/ and start dressing better in 2013.  

I Have a Confession to Make

    Since I began this site I have felt the pressure of competition from my rivals online.  In an effort to the wittiest and arguably best looking writer about toys I succumbed to the temptation of steroids.  Yeah, I was juicin like a mofo.  I know it was wrong, but there are so many people fighting for your attention on the internet that I felt like I needed a competitive edge.  I now know I was wrong to turn to performance enhancing drugs, mainly because they are expensive and I could have used that money to buy more toys.  It was really a stupid investment and stupid investments are wrong.  Plus, they have health risks or something according to this chart I found:

    Who has time to read all that?  Plus, the pictures look unpleasant.  Anyway, I planned to confess to all of this on Oprah right after that bike riding idiot, but for some reason my multiple phone calls only ended in a restraining order rather than an invitation for an interview.  TV people are weird.  Shed tears for me Oprah, I'm in pain too ya know!

Batman Arkam City Series 4 from DC Collectibles

    I can't blame DC Collectibles for milking the Arkam City game for all that it's worth because it is one of the best I've played.  Hopefully they will be making another one for me to devote significant portions of my life to. But in the mean time, they have some new toys coming out in March.  I think every character has been featured now, so maybe they will make some cool diorama to display them on (for those of you that don't open your figures, I apologize for any stress I may have just induced there).  

The Wanderer from David Healey x Skinner

    Are these the guys Tom Cruise and his rich weirdo friends are worshipping in their Hollywood compound while doped up on space peyote and giving each other back rubs?  I think they might be.  

    David Healey made these guys and then Skinner painted 'em up to make 'em look all intergalactic and otherworldly.  They only made 10 of these suckers and you can get one tomorrow for $75.  Having one on your mantel will save you when Tom Cruise starts going door to door looking for the non believers to sacrifice to the supreme overlord.  Don't be sacrificed to the supreme overlord.

Fleurs Noires by NooN x K. Olin Tribu

    I want this pretty badly.  I know I say that a lot, but this time I really really mean it.  This beautifully decorated porcelain skull is the work of French artist Noon and K. Olin Tribu.  Each skull was hand decorated, so all 50 pieces are completely unique.  They release today at http://www.artandtoys.com/ for $330 with free shipping.  

   Usually I have something funny to say about everything but not today, as my mind is busy thinking how awesome this would look in one of my cabinets.  

Turn Your Kid's Art into 3D Sculptures with Crayon Creatures

    My grandparents never threw much away, so when I was a wee lad I liked to crawl around in their attic and see what I could find.  Well I managed to find some ancient issues of Cracked Magazine that my uncle had collected and one of them had a feature that explored what kid's drawings would look like if they were real objects.  At the time it was hilarious because they built these weird, lopsided rockets, and 3 legged horses.  But now that I'm older and a bit more sentimental, the fact that a company has come along that can actually do this is pretty amazing.

    Crayon Creatures uses the latest in 3D printing technology to bring the craziness of a child's imagination to life in the form of unique figurines.  You can see more of what they do at http://crayoncreatures.com/ and even upload some art and make your own.  It costs about $130 in US currency for the figure and about $20 to ship it anywhere in the world.
