Minicel DIY at SDCC from Kuso Vinyl

    If I had the ability to draw I'd be dangerous!  I have no idea exactly why I would be dangerous, and actually I'd probably be just as mopey as I am now.  But I'm sure I could be dangerous if I wanted to.  I would draw all over toys and sell them for lots of money on the internet and then use that money to buy an alpaca farm.  Those glorified llamas are ridiculously expensive.

     If I could draw I would need lots of toys to draw on, and this would be a cool one to start with.  Kuso Vinyl is adding to the DIY pool of blank figures with this Minicel.  And he comes with an arsenal.  He's begging for you to turn him into a killing machine.  This guy wil be released at San Diego Comic Con for only $10 at the Kuso Vinyl booth #5642. I'm sure you'll be able to buy him afterwards too, so don't try and get one on eBay and feel dumb when you pay too much for it.  

Pop! Vinyl Exclusives from Gemini Collectibles and Funko

    If you've watched the new season of Arrested Development, you will have a new appreciation for this figure.  Don't worry, I'm not going to ruin it for any of you that for one reason or another have failed to watch it.  I have enough friends that consistently ruin shows for me on Facebook that I would never consider doing that to you.

    Funko and Gemini Collectibles are offering up this black and white version of everyone's favorite rock man from the Fantastic Four.  Preorders have started now and you can get in on it by visiting http://www.geminicollectibles.net/.  You can also preorder the bronze patina version of The Rocketeer.  Both figures are $16.99 and will be arriving in July.

Jouwe Shark from Mytummytoys

    We all have dreams.  Sometimes they come true, sometimes they don't and they drive us to alcoholism and hefty child support payments.  Jouwe was tired of being just a rhino, so he decided he wanted to be a shark.  A very well fed shark by the looks of it.  So Marine Ramdhani x Mytummytoys helped him realize his dream and behold the results!  Now you can invite him into your home to continue his journey in his new life.  They're taking preorders on this dude now and everything you need to know is in the flyer.  

Watchmen Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    I would like to thank the good people at Funko for covering Dr. Manhattan's ding a ling for this toy.  I'm not sure what possessed the people that made The Watchmen movie to include that in the film.  Where they planning to make a spin-off?  Like when Joey moved to California after Friends ended to pursue his acting career?  I'm embarrassed I know that.

    Do I write a lot about Pop! Vinyl figures?  Yes, but maybe other companies should step up their games and be as prolific as Funko is.  Of course it's not just about releasing a lot of stuff, it's about releasing quality stuff that people want to buy.  Well, they've kinda nailed that too, because I'm going to be getting both of these.  And I don't have to worry about not eating lunch all week to pay for them, cause they're usually around $10.  These two will be released June 20th.  

Living Dead Dolls Resurrection Series 7 from Mezco

 

    These would be a great way to punish kids.  Whenever they act up just lock them in a room full of Living Dead Dolls to modify their behavior.  Unless you have some little weirdo kids like I was, in which case they won't really see it as punishment.  I used to work at a store in the mall that I won't mention because I'm still embarrassed about it (people still ask how I was able to deal with it, though I think that's a better question for my therapist).  We had a little girl who shopped there who couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 and she carried one of these blood-soaked dolls around like a teddy bear.  I always wondered if she had tea parties and all of her guests were corpses.  She was a funny kid and will no doubt grow up to have an interesting profession involving dead people.

    Mezco is releasing the 7th series of Resurrection dolls this July.  This is where they take older designs and revamp them.  They even take the revamped versions and rerevamp them as variants.  You can buy the whole set of 4 for $225 or the set of 4 variants for $250.  You can order these undead kids from http://www.mezcotoyz.com/.

Aloha Diggler from Splurrt x D-Lux

    Check out this bro in his bright summer colors.  And he glows in the dark like a kid from Chernobyl?  Sold.  I love the toys Splurrt makes, and while I wouldn't normally be into these bright colors, they really do work for this figure.  D-Lux did the custom paint on these and you can pick one up from jis webstore tomorrow (June 1) at 3pm Eastern time.  You better bookmark http://dlux.bigcartel.com/ if you hope to score one.  These guys will sell quickly and if you don't get one you will be thrown into a deep depression made all the darker because you don't have this toy to glow like a beacon of hope.  This is how you die.

Weirdos In Space: Wave 1 featuring Rampage Toys and Blurble

    Does a title ever get more descriptive?  There is no ambiguity about what you're going to get here.  You're going to get some freaky looking dudes that some how found their way into the final frontier.  It's a drastic difference from when you buy one of those tv dinners and it looks so delicious on the box, yet when you heat it up in looks like a possum got sick on a plate.  Disappointment and diarrhea every time.  

    These space travelers are the work of Rampage Toys and Blurble, while their alien craft was made by Tru:Tek.  Ten of each design were made in random colors and they will be $24 each.  You can pick one up when they go on sale today (May 31) at 9pm London time at http://manetoys.bigcartel.com/.
