It's a good thing Deadpool has a sense of humor, cause he's not winning anyone over with that face. This scarred Pop! Vinyl figure from Funko will come in grey and red suited versions and will be available next month. Of course you could preorder them now, forget about it, then be traumatized when the box gets to your house and this carved up face is staring back at you. It's like added value or something.

Sue Resin Figure from Buff Monster x Healeymade
This is the cutest ice cream headed, cyclops girl I've ever seen. And I've seen a few in my day. I grew up in Virginia after all and there's some crazy stuff going on in the woods down South. Stuff that would blow your mind and shake the very foundations of everything you knew to be true.
Sue is the creation of Buff Monster and Healeymade, and they are changing her sculpt after this release. So you better get on this before she goes under the knife, cause you never know how surgery will turn out. These go on sale tomorrow (May 24th) at http://www.buffmonster.com/.

Blue Wooper Looper from Gary Ham
My wife is a fan of Tiffany's and unless I hit the lottery this may be about as close to their iconic shade of blue she's gonna get for a while.
Gary Ham will be releasing his latest Wooper Looper this Friday (May 24th) at 11am Pacific time. He is limited to 30 pieces and will be $60 each at http://www.superham.bigcartel.com/. This is what a real life Wooper Looper looks like:
Eeeeek! It's the cutest little salamander thingy you've ever seen!
Sulu Finally Gets His Own Mimobot
Who is the most entertaining person on the internet? The answer is George Takei (Grumpy Cat is a close second, though not necessarily a "person"). The man posts funny stuff all day long and manages to mix in doses of social awareness without it coming off as contrived. How does he do it? Cause he's the King of Cyberspace. Four million people on Facebook can't be wrong.
Now you can finally store your favorite moments from George Takei in a device of his likeness!!! Mimobot has created this flash drive based on George's character Sulu from Star Trek. It even talks to you when you put it in your computer. Oh my indeed! They only made 1,000 of them, so act fast or be sad that all your friends got one and you didn't.
Curiosity "Pop Bomb Edition" from Nathan Hamill
Every night when I come home from work there's this ice cream truck driving through my neighborhood playing that god awful carney music. It wouldn't be so bad if it were a legit looking truck and not a conversion van with a air conditioner installed in one of the doors and the menu spray painted on the side. I bet it's a mystery to him why he never has to stop even once while slowly creeping down the road. It would be safer to answer a Craigslist ad giving away free meat than to buy ice cream from this dude.
And so it goes that I haven't had one of those rocket pops in years. Those things are the best and i've suffered this injustice for too long. So while I try and find a less serial-killy ice cream man in a nicer neighborhood, you can gaze upon these Curiosity resin figures from Nathan Hamill. Sculpted by Julie B. and produced by Oni Creations, these 5 inch tall figures will be available this Friday at Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas for $80. Just don't try and lick them. I can't imagine resin tastes that great.

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/.
