Wondercon Exclusives from Super7

    Have any of you seen House of Cards on Netflix?  Normally I'm not one for political anything, but that show is phenomenal.  The wife and eye watched all 13 episodes in 2 days, which will tell you how good it is and also how we need to get out more.  The rest of this post has absolutely nothing to do with what you've just read.

    Wondercon is this weekend in Anaheim, and while it is a tad to far for me to drive to, some of you other lucky folks can go and pillage all the exclusive toy releases.  Super7 will be there and will have 3 figures in an attempt to bleed you of your money so that your Netflix account gets cancelled (see, I tied it all together).  I really really really want that Happy Cola Pocket Mummy Boy.  He looks just like that gummy cola candy that tastes yummy as it rips your dental work out.  Only $25 and you can mail one straight to me.  Sure I'll pay you back, maybe before you even have to take me to Judge Judy.  

    Maybe a Glowing Frost Rose Vampire is more your speed.  Well guess what?  They'll have one of those waiting for you.  It won't have your name on it because that would deface the figure, but you'll be able to tell it's yours when you hear it whispering the lyrics to your favorite Taylor Swift song.  Again, only $25.  I'm sensing a theme here.  

    "You know Chris, I'm more into collecting anthropomorphic ice cream cones than anything, it's a shame that they don't cater to my interests."  Don't be silly pee pants, of course they have that.  And why not make it pink and glow in the dark, just to throw and extra bit of something something on there for ya?  Done.  "But I only have $25 in my budget the whole convention."  Let me see what I can do for you, oh wait, done.  I actually had nothing to do with any of it but I will take the credit.  Visit booth #1166 to buy cool stuff.  

Alice: Madness Returns Figure from Diamond Select Toys

    I'm not gonna lie to you, this game bored me to tears.  The idea was sound, the graphics and design were cool, I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it.  But since I do enjoy a good revamp of classic tales I gave it my all.  

    As I mentioned before, I did enjoy the design of the game and thankfully that's all that matters when it comes to this figure from Diamond Select Toys.  This is the title character dressed in her royal suit, looking rather fetching and murderous at the same time.  You can pick her up next month from comic shops and specialty stores.  

ToyConUK Exclusives from The Hang Gang

    Every time I write about this guy I feel the need to remind you that there is an actual animal called a wooper looper and that is it's real name.  Google that sucker and marvel at how cool nature can be.  

    This Wooper Looper was made by Gary Ham and is an exclusive to The Hang Gang at ToyConUK.  Only 35 were made in this color and they also will have 5 unpainted ones that you can make look however you want, or just leave 'em naked and exposed to the elements.  Your choice says a lot about you,  and I won't tell you which one makes you a sociopath.  Bwahahahaha.   

    Of course they didn't stop there.  They also teamed up with Jeff Lamm and Unbox Industries for this exclusive Spike Wad.  Only 10 of these guys were made and they have pink flocking!!!!  So fuzzy!!!  Jeff Lamm will be in attendance so you can get him to sign it, or give him a high five, or buy him lunch.  He's probably down for all of that.  

UME Toys Resin Releases for ToyConUK

    You know what I've accomplished today?  I beat Tomb Raider while in my underwear.  That is literally it.  Granted, it's snowing outside and the roads are bad, but I could have done something more productive. I could have at least put pants on.  Richard from UME Toys has managed to be much busier than me as he has created a ton of new resin pieces for ToyConUK.  These are but some of them and if you would like to see more you can check out his Flickr page here. 

Big Metal Fan Resin Figure from Hungry for Imps

    It seems like everyone is making their own toys now.  Which is good, cause it's better to be out there creating stuff than sitting outside of a 7-11 with a brown bag of party juice trying to pick up soccer moms and reliving your glory days to the local juggalos.  I applaud creative endeavors, which is why I'm always happy to get emails from someone who's out there making things happen.

    This guy, who looks like he would haunt Judas Priest's tour bus, was made by Hungry for Imps.  He only made five of them and you can pick one up today at 5pm from http://hungryforimps.bigcartel.com/  for $20.  

Super Series Sunday from Task One x Tenacious Toys

    Who doesn't love the Muppets?  Well, maybe communists and violent felons, but just about everyone else does.  Hell, I'll go and watch Muppets Take Manhattan right now and thoroughly enjoy it and there's not much you can do about it.  My favorite guys are the rats that work as cooks in the diner.  Still cleaner than eating at McDonald's.

    Task One is continuing his Pillaging Pop Culture blind box series with three new figures this week.  Buy one for $40 or all three for $100.  These will be on sale through Tenacious Toys for their Super Series Sundays release on March 24th at 4pm Eastern time.  Once these figures go on sale, the previous three will no longer be available, so act now if you want to complete your set.  Or if you want to prove you're a baller, you can get all 18 figures for $600 and not worry yourself about on sale dates.  

DC Comics Mystery Minis from Funko

    Can you ever have too much Batman?  All signs point to no (remember Magic 8 Ball?  do they still make those?)  Funko is releasing these Mystery Mini blind boxed figures on April 24th and they look pretty cool.  My only gripe would be that there's no Harley Quinn figure, but other than that I like these little guys.  You can check out all the variations and the assortment rate below.
