Oi! Cthulu from Daniel Yu x Mighty Jaxx



    I've actually been reading H.P. Lovecraft on my breaks at work, so is it strange that this toy is released at the same time that I began the book?  Have the planets aligned and the words of the Nekromonicon been spoken?  Are the Elder Gods returning to wipe mankind from the face of Earth?  It could happen.  What better way to stay safe from the wrath of this monstrosity than to purchase this figure and give it a place of prominence in your home.  

    Daniel Yu decided that Cthulu would probably be a huge fan of punk music.  How he came to this realization I'll never know, but I'm glad he did and that Mighty Jaxx was willing to capture it in 3D form.  Each of the 300 pieces is cast in resin and then hand painted.  If you buy it directly from Mighty Jaxx it will also come signed by the artist.  Get one now or risk eternal torment and stuff.

Dead God Narcotic Custom Pollen Kaisers from Skinner



    I've got two old Pinky and the Brain vinyl toys laying around that could use a good sprucing up.  I bought them at the Goodwill for 50 cents apiece and they're kinda dirty to the point that I don't want to know what happened to them.  But I couldn't just leave them there for some little kid to let his dog chew on and then eventually end up in the landfill.  I was gonna paint them to look like they had formed a black metal band but the closest I got to that was putting them in the dishwasher and then leaving them on the kitchen counter, where they are still sitting.  Now if life had turned out differently, and I was blessed with more artistic ability and less with shampoo-commercial hair, then maybe I would make them look like this.

    Skinner is at it gain, painting up toys and offering them up to the hungry masses.  he could paint a Dora the Explorer doll and I would want to buy it, so it's no wonder I want these.  They started out as Pollen Kaisers from Paul Kaiju and were then transformed through paint and pot smoke into Dead God Narcotics.  You want it to tell you all its secrets?  You know it has some.  Well its gonna cost you $400 today at noon Pacific time to learn what black magic these guys could conjure up.   Be one of the lucky 4 people in the world to own one by going to http://shopcriticalhit.com/.

Bad Apple Smoke Edition from Mighty Jaxx x myplasticheart



    This Bad Apple figure from Mighty Jaxx has come out of nowhere and caused a collecting frenzy like nothing has in recent memory.  I think they could make a "poop brown" edition and people would try to kill each other to get one.  And unlike other toys or artists (who may or may not have infected 30th Street Station in Philly with their presence: Kaws go home!) the hype is well deserved.  You could take it as a commentary on Disney, you could take it as a commentary on politics, or you can just enjoy the fact that it's aesthetically pleasing and an all around cool design.  

    This smoke edition is an exclusive to myplasticheart and the response for it has been insane.  Because of that they have implemented a lottery system for both their in-store and online customers.  Rather than regurgitate all of the information to you myself, I have decided to provide you a handy link so you can hopefully win a chance to purchase this figure.  Just click on it, follow the instructions, and provide ample sacrifice to Thor so that he will crush your enemies and make you victorious.

    Can you ever have enough toys that were inspired by A Clockwork Orange?  The answer is no.  If you said anything other than no we will chalk that up to a terrible meth habit that you really should seek help for.  Seriously, the stuff will make your teeth fall out and you'll look like an extra from The Walking Dead.  

    Kenth Toy Works and Toy Art Gallery have released this Nadsat Boy in white Japanese sofubi.  You can get one right now for $65 at http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.  Many other colors are sure to follow this one and I eagerly await the day his Nofutuer figure is released in vinyl.  


Fleurs Rouges by NooN x K. Olin Tribu



    Human beings have been decorating their houses with skulls forever.  It used to be you had to go out and harvest them yourself from your enemies, but that can get you in a heap of trouble these days.  So to make up for the loss in home decor that tribal warfare used to afford us, we now rely on craftsmen to create the morbid ambiance our primal sides desire.  K. Olin Tribu  has teamed up with French artist NooN to create this stunning porcelain skull. It is hand adorned in this motif of red flowers making eah one of the 50 pieces unique.  You can preorder one of these today at 18:00 French time by going to http://www.kolintribu.com/.
