GI Joe Custom Show from The Loyal Subjects x Tenacious Toys x Suburban Vinyl



    We all know the GI Joe movies were garbage.  It's not debatable, as the top scientists across the globe have confirmed it to be true.  Delaying the second one a year to redo it didn't even help.  The Loyal Subjects helped remove some of the tarnish by releasing a cool blind boxed series of vinyl figures that people went nuts over, and now you can see those reinterpreted by some of the best toy customizers out there.  Tenacious Toys teamed up with Suburban Vinyl to put together this custom show that will be happening this Friday, May 31st.  All the details you need are in the pictures, so you have no excuse not to go.  Unless you live, like, really far away or have surgery scheduled for that time.  Then its ok.  




Dunny 2013 Series from Kidrobot



    As you all know, blind boxes drive me insane and for the most part I have sworn against buying them.  Except for Dunnys.  I don't know exactly what it is, but I never get tired of these little dudes from Kidrobot.  And I get especially excited when they do their yearly series and the wife and I get to spend a few hours at a trading party, sitting on the floor and opening up toys with other people just as addicted to these things as we are.  If you've never been to one they're kinda like if AA meetings served beer.  These suckers will be coming out June 14th and all of your favorite stores will be having get togethers to celebrate.  I'll be spending my 401k at Jinxed in Philadelphia.

New Rat Fink Items from Blackbook Toy



    Ed "Big Daddy" Roth designed and built some of the craziest cars that have ever existed, but even if you've never seen one of his customs, you probably recognize Rat Fink.  He's been featured on every product type imaginable, tattooed on countless bodies, and reinterpreted by artists for decades.  Now you can class up your garage with these latest releases from Blackbook Toy.  

    First up is the new 10 inch resin big head statue.  This thing must weigh a ton and would be the first thing I grabbed if someone broke into my house.  One whack to the head and they won't remember their entire childhood.  You could also just look at it too I suppose.  





    They also have these new blind boxed mini figures.  While they won't do you much good in the realm of home defense, they are pretty cool.  And if you buy a box of 12 you're guaranteed to get the whole set.  Should all blind boxed toys be like this?  Yeah, yeah they should.  I'd consider buying them again if they were, but as of right now I get too stressed out when I get 30 of the same figure and want to punch babies.  

Super Series Sunday from Dead Hand Toys x Tenacious Toys




    These guys kinda remind me of those scrubbing bubbles that are supposed to raise hell on the grime in your bathroom.  When I was little I thought that those guys were legit and really did all the work for you, so I never understood why my mom griped about cleaning.  Imagine my disappointment when I found out this was not in fact the case and those bubbles are just as lazy as anything else that comes from a spray bottle.

    Dead Hand Toys made these Greeds by mixing three different shades of blue resin together, so each one is unique.  They will be blind bagged as part of Tenacious Toy's Super Series Sunday sale for $20 each.  These will be available this Sunday (May 26th) at www.tenacioustoys.com.

Maskless Deadpool Pop! Vinyl from Funko





    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!
