New Arts Unknown Figures from Frank Kozik, Gary Baseman, and Doktor A





    Arts Unknown went quiet for a little while after the original release of these figures, but now they have returned with a new website and new color ways of their original trio.  I like the black and white treatment of William, Reginald, and Henry from Frank Kozik.   They look ready to jump into a classic detective scenario under a sweltering Moroccan sun.  It would probably involve a precious artifact and a beautiful girl who teeters between being good and being oh so bad.  Or they're just hipsters, hard to say.  Only 150 of these exist.



    They've also updated Gary Baseman's drug-loving Slugilicious.  Limited to 100 pieces, this guy can't wait to get into grandma's arthritis medicine and trip the light fantastic.   


    This lady has a mystery under her dress, and not the kind you find at 3am on Pacific Avenue.  This tentacled beauty from Doktor A is an edition of 250 and will no doubt devour your soul in some manner from the pages of Lovecraft.  

    Snag one, or snag them all by going to http://www.artsunknown.com/ or any of your other favorite places to buy toys.  

12th Anniversary Lucky Bags from Super7



    I live pretty darn close to Atlantic City but I never go to the casinos.  You know why?  Cause I like to get stuff for my money.  I'm not big on the idea that I may empty my wallet without something to show for it.  So while these Lucky Bags from Super7 may be a gamble, you'll at least have a pile of figures for your cats to knock over.

    For $300 you get a total of 9 toys, including brand new sculpts, custom painted versions, test colors, and more.  They go on sale this Saturday, May 25th at 7pm at their San Francisco store and May 26th online.  Take a chance at http://www.super7store.com/.

Paint Your Own Tripus with Max Toy Co. x Monster Kolor



    Let's face it, most art classes suck.  Painting pottery?  Lame.  Making friendship bracelets?  Who gives a crap.  Where are the art classes for righteous dudes, where you can learn things that are cool and you wouldn't be embarrassed to take the results home and show your mom?  Monster Kolor doesn't want you to to suffer through boring art classes any more and instead wants to teach you how to paint monsters.  They've teamed up with Max Toy Co. to offer a "Paint Your Own Tripus" class.  Finally, no more ceramic ash trays!

    The class will take place on June 22nd, but there are only 8 spots available, so you better get on it sucka.  For $99 you get your own Tripus and they supply the paint so you can make him look however you want.  Then you can put him in the window of your house to let the world know what a talented S.O.B. you are.  Reserve your spot by going to http://www.monsterkolor.com/.

Deathstroke New 52 ArtFX Statue from Kotobukiya



    Yeah, this Deathstroke statue may be based off of his updated design from the New 52 series of books from DC Comics, but all anyone is thinking about right now is that he will be prominently featured in the Batman: Arkham Origins video game.  It's a prequel, which everyone knows how I feel about those, but if it even closely resembles the last two games then I will be extremely happy to lose countless hours of my life to it.

    Kotobukiya created this ArtFX statue  and he stands 12 inches tall and features a removable mask.  He'll be released in November for $119.99, which is a pretty big chunk of change until you see one of these in person.  The amount of detail, let alone the size of it, will blow you away.    

New Bones Colorway from Mike Egan




    How is it possible there are any of these left to be had?  Only 13 of these red glitter with white paint Bones figures from Mike Egan were made, yet they're not sold out yet.  And they're only $60, so just put it on one of those credit cards you never plan on paying off and just forget about it.  No big deal.  Visit http://mikeegan.bigcartel.com/ and help these guys sell out today.  

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.
