The Imp from Fos x Unbox Industries

    If there was a serial killer on Adventure Time this is what he would look like.  This is The Imp from Fos and Unbox Industries and it's kinda scary looking.  As if it wouldn't freak you out enough just knowing that it's in your house while you sleep, it also glows in the dark from the inside out, probably from some black magic that allows it to devour souls.  This walking skin mask stands about 6 inches tall and will sell for $30 when it is released later this month.  

Thunder Puss "Mace of Fur-y" Releases Today from DuBose Art

    I often wonder what my cats dream about as they're sleeping all day.  There has to be some crazy stuff going on in their furry little heads.  I really really hope that there dreams resemble something close to this.  

    Dubose Art is making every cat's fantasy come to life with Thunder Puss.  This edition comes with a pretty sweet mace that is good for tenderizing mice or pounding the skull of a vet who gets a little too grabby.  Only 10 of this version were made and they go on sale today (May 18th) at 2pm Central time. Realize the unbridled fury of Thunder Puss at http://duboseartanddesign.com/.

Super Series Sunday from Task One x Tenacious Toys

    Tomorrow will mark the final release of Task One's hand made Pillaging Pop Culture Series 1.  These last three figures will again be part of the Super Series Sunday releases from Tenacious Toys.  And to make these even more unique, every Animal figure will feature a different t-shirt.  Like always, these are available for $40 for one blind box or $100 for the set of three.  You can still purchase a full set of 18 figures plus an exclusive chase for $600, but only until June 1st.  After June 1st you will be forced to live with the regret of not buying these and face the crushing pain that comes with it.  Don't live with regret, live with toys!  Get em at 4pm eastern time tomorrow (May 19th) from www.tenacioustoys.com.

Nex Preorder from Dead Hand Toys

    This brain has gone rogue!  I'd like to think this is what your brain will do to you if you watch that Honey Boo Boo show.  That it would just completely rebel and wage war on you for subjecting it to something so dumb.  A boy can dream.

    This is Nex and he/she/it was made by Dead Hand Toys.  It's hand cast in resin and hand painted and a deal at only $40.  Plus the arms are articulated, so you could actually play with it in the bath tub with your GI Joes.  Don't act like you have no idea what I'm talking about you cheeky monkey.

    Preorders go up today (May 17th) at 5pm Easter time at http://deadhand.bigcartel.com/.

Harley Quinn Bombshell Statue from DC Comics

    While my birthday isn't until December, I am not above accepting early gifts.  Of if you have any housework you need doing, I'd be happy to come and help supervise in exchange for this.  I'm very good at delegating, less so at actual cleaning.

    I am completely smitten with this pin-up inspired Harley Quinn statue from DC Collectibles.  This is by far my favorite incarnation of the Joker's psychotic companion and I might have to actually cave and buy this one (if the whole begging for gifts thing doesn't work out that is).  Would it be wrong to put a donation button up on my blog so you could sponsor me and my toy buying addiction:

For the price of a cup of coffee a day, you could help an obsessive collector realize his dream of owning every toy he could ever want.  For your donation you will receive a monthly newsletter and a picture of your sponsored collector, hugging his most prized possessions.  And unlike Sally Struthers and those other crooks who only actually give those kids 10% of your donation while spending the rest on buckets of chicken, you can sleep soundly knowing that every penny has gone into buying objects to make Chris happy.  

    I wonder if I can get Sarah Mclaclan to do a commercial for me and depress the crap out of you.

    While I'm working on my sad face and trying to find a filthy cage I can fit into, you can go and preorder this statue right now so it can be delivered to you when it releases in November.  I eagerly await your sponsorships. 

Six Inch Double Cast Raar!s from Dynamite Rex

    I never get tired of looking at these.  The fact that anyone can make them blows my mind, let alone how cool they are to begin with.  These six inch Raar! figures from Dynamite Rex are now available in blue and green and limited to only 20 pieces.  They're on sale right now through http://www.dynamiterex.com/ and http://www.artattacktoys.com/.  

A Little Stranger Shows You How A Plush Toy Is Made

    I've always been fascinated to learn how things are made.  I don't really care what it is either, I just want to see it start from raw materials and then make its way to a finish product.  I love huge machinery that was built for one simple little job.  While this guy doesn't involve any mechanical monstrosities to bring him to life, it is still fascinating to see how he went from a mere drawing to a cuddly, 3 dimensional toy.

    A Little Stranger prototyped Bartholomew Punchyface based on the work of Scott Tolleson and Luke Chueh.  I wouldn't have had the faintest idea how to do this, and probably would have just glued a bunch of random stuff together, gotten frustrated, and taken a nap.  Thankfully for you, no one asks me to make plushies.  See the entire process with tons of images at http://www.alittlestranger.com/wordpress/.
