8 Inch Meltdown Dunnys from Chris Ryniak and Kidrobot




 
     I used to work at a place that had a microwave in the back room for us to use and right in the center of the door there was a hole. This hole went clean through the protective glass and into the actual chamber where the food is cooked, as if someone has stabbed the front of it with a screw driver in an effort to ensure the people he worked with could never pass on their defective genes. At least, I assume that someone was trying to sterilize those weirdos, but who would admit to using household radiation to nuke the privates of their coworkers? Not anyone that understands the statute of limitations I'll tell you that.

    These 8 inch Meltdown Dunnys were created by Chris Ryniak and Kidrobot. As you can see there are 4 different color variations of this sucker just to drive you mad. Certain ones are only available at certain places and here's the rundown:

Green: Kidrobot retail store locations

Yellow: Kidrobot.com

Pink: specialty toy stores in the United States

Orange: specialty toy stores in the rest of the world

    There are only 500 of each color, they glow in the dark, and they are $75 each. Prepare to go broke on Valentine's Day, February 14th.

Skelevex by alto and DMS




    Good Lord I want this thing! alto and DMS have put their heads together to create....a head. This faceted skull will be making it's debut at ToyCon UK this April at which point we'll probably learn about the pricing and everyone will buy one and I'll be jealous that I won't be able to take pictures of my cats with it.

Pink Chaos Bunny from Joe Ledbetter x The Loyal Subjects



    It's not always easy to shop for your favorite person from the internet (me), especially for Valentine's Day.  You don't want your undying devotion to go unnoticed, but since you already sent him (me) a pig's heart with a nail in it last year (it still smells weird in my house) how do you go about topping it  without the risk of serious infection from raw organ meat?  Allow me to make a suggestion.

    A Pink Chaos Bunny from Joe Ledbetter x The Loyal Subjects would make a most appropriate gift for this time of year!   There are only 200 of the 10 inch tall rabbits available and they go on sale today at noon Pacific time at www.theloyalsubjects.com.  They sell out of these suckers quickly every time so if you're already at work you might want to fake food poisoning and hide in the bathroom at the appropriate time.  Don't forget your smartphone though, or you'll feel dumb sitting there with your fake case of the bad poops.

New Tee From Dave Webb x Outsmart Originals




    Dave Webb makes creepy little toys with sharp pointy teeth that look like they would be make a home in your intestines and slowly consume you from the inside out.   Outsmart Originals makes t-shirts featuring the artwork of your favorite toy designers.  They have now joined together in unholy matrimony to bring you this.

    You can order this shirt right now from http://www.outsmartoriginals.com/ and be entered to win a custom 4" Munny from the artist himself!!!!

Black Heksen Figures from Monster Worship Available Now




    It's snowing right now.  Every time it snows I want to put on my corpse paint and make my wife take pictures of me in the woods for my black metal band that I don't have.  It seems like the thing to do, as all of the best bands have pictures of themselves in the snow wandering around the forrest.  Snow is the most brutal of all precipitation.

    This Black Heksen is ready for his photo shoot in the wilds of Norway.  This is the first time that Dwid Hellion and Monster Worship have released a painted version and it's pretty sick.  

    You can also get a red unpainted version if you can only stand one color at a time.  Or maybe you have a color theme in your collection and you're not a fan of trying new things.  It's ok, we're all friends here and this is a judgement free zone ya weirdo.

    Both are now available from http://www.monsterworship.com/.

Iron Man 3 Pop! Vinyl from Funko


 
 
Iron Man 3 will be coming out soon so you know what that means? Toys of course! And what better movie toys could you think of than Pop! Vinyl from Funko? The answer is none.


You can get all four of these guys from the film on February 18th and add to your growing Pop! Vinyl collection that has probably taken over your house and caused the floor of your living room to sag beneath its weight.

 
 
 
 

Major Lazer Mascot from Kidrobot



    I don't do drugs so I don't always get every neo cultural reference made in the world, thus I had to look up who this Major Lazer guy was.  It seems like something hipsters would like because it wasn't particularly good but I can see people suffering through it to make it seem like their tastes have evolved way past anything in the "mainstream" or anything "I may have heard of." 

    This is the newest mascot figure from Kidrobot.  It comes out February 19th for $50.  You can put it next to all of your ceramic owls and your printed photos from Instagram of you holding a thrift store record and staring at your feet sorrowfully because your parents didn't love you enough to buy you New Kids on the Block reunion tickets and support your ironic lifestyle as a performance artist whose work is focused on the post consumerism lifestyle of Appalachian bluegrass musicians.
