Bitta Critta from Scott Tolleson x 3D Retro for SDCC

    My wife used to go to Las Vegas every year for a manager's conference for her job and the pictures that she would send me were amazing.  The best however, was of a man dressed up as Winnie the Pooh, passed out on the sidewalk with a bottle of booze in his hand/paw.  But wait, thats not the end of it.  There was also a little girl standing next to him in tears because she thought Pooh was dead.  OH MY GOD it was the funniest thing I've ever seen!  I was a bit horrified that anyone would let their small child near a filthy costumed character that needed to be in detox, but once I got past that the hilarity resumed.  It could have only been more funny if he ended up biting her with his Pooh Bear mouth.

    On a side note, it turns out this guy is kinda well known, as this picture will prove:

Back to the task at hand.  Bitta Critta is a costumed character that also likes to get his drink on.  Or as I like to say, his draaaaaaaaaaaaank.  That makes it sound like more of a good time.  Go on, try it, I'll wait.

     Scott Tolleson thunk him up, 3D Retro manufactured him in their vinyl toy uterus (or China), and VOILA! another San Diego Comic Con release.  $50 will get you one at booth #5051.  

"Magnitude" Admiral Ackbar Mini Bust for SDCC from Gentle Giant

    If I were a rich man I would have a huge library in my house.  With rich, dark wood and rolling ladders to reach the multitudes of books.  A few leather chairs for reading, possibly a stately desk from which I could examine my important papers.  And this.  Under a glass dome in the center of the room.  In fact, while they were planning my library I would allow the architects some alone time with it so they could create something worthy of such a majestic piece.  

    Admiral Ackbar looks ready to take command of Her Majesty's Royal Fleet in this bust from Gentle Giant.  Based on artwork by Steven Daily, this mini bust stands 8 inches tall and comes packaged in a wooden box with a print of the original art that inspired it.  It will be available at San Diego Comic Con, but non convention goers can preorder one now and it will ship to you after the convention is over.  That gives you time to go to Home Depot and spruce the place up a bit before its arrival.

Evel Fett Figure from Retro Outlaw x 3D Retro for SDCC

    Mother of God how cool is this?  How come no one has ever mashed up Star Wars and Evel Knievel before in toy form before?  Looking at this picture it just seems like the obvious thing to do.  The only thing that would make this better is if he had that stunt cycle for the '70's that you had to rev up an watch as it crashed into the wall.  

See how much fun he's having.  Or she's having.  It was an ambiguous time.  

    Retro Outlaw and 3D Retro (that's a lot of retro) are making this king of bounty hunting dare devils available at this year's San Diego Comic Con.  You can pick one up for $120 at booth #929.  Then you can go home because nothing will be cooler than this.  Or you could stay, since I'm sure it cost you a lot of money to get there and whatnot.  But buy this guy first so you have something to hug the rest of the time.  

Unpainted Dream Rocket Toys from Lulubell Toy Bodega

    I'm detecting a theme developing here today.  It's all unpainted toys!  Paint 'em yourself, send 'em to someone else to paint, or leave them as they are because you're undecided.  Personally, I think all toys look better painted, especially with the amount of detail in these figures from Dream Rocket.  I mean, at least spatter some red on them so they look like they've been on a rampage of unspeakable horror.  Lulubell Toy Bodega is offering these suckers up as preorders but you should hurry, cause the cobra dude already sold out (which is why there's no picture of him, cause I don't want to tease you like that).

Black Unpainted Mecha Greasebat from Jeff Lamm x Monster Worship

    With the government listening in on our phone calls and wanting to deploy drones to spy on us, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing stuff like this policing the streets.  Well, maybe not EXACTLY like this, because that would involve a level of creativity our elected officials just don't possess.  But something along these lines, ready to club you for not picking up your dog's poop.  

  

    Today is the day that Mecha Greasebat will be unleashed upon the world!  Designed by Jeff Lamm and produced by Monster Worship, these big hunks 'o black plastic will be going on sale at 7pm Eastern time at https://store.monsterworship.com/ for $85.  

S.U.C.K.L.E. Mini Figures Kickstarter from The Sucklord x DKE

    Everybody is getting in one little figures like this, so it was only a matter of time before The Sucklord put his spin on them.  You can help make these guys a reality with the official SUCKLE Kickstarter campaign.  Evidently, it costs a lot of money to make tiny wrestling dudes, so DKE and The Sucklord are raising some funds to produce a butt ton of these figures.  Like any Kickstarter, what you pledge determines what you get in return, including the exclusive clear version of the set.  Loosen up those purse strings and get to donating at :

Custom Sprogs and Robobees from Lunabee

    We're going all out cute today.  I can't be dark and brooding all the time like I was as a teenager.  I don't have time to lock myself in my room, listen to Marilyn Manson records, and think about how great it will be when I blow this hick town and become a guitar god.  Now I listen to Marilyn Manson while driving in the car to get Vitamin Water from Target and to pay my cable bill.  So it's cool now if I wear something other than black and let a little bit of cuteness into my life.  

    Lunabee painted these figures that were made by her man friend Cris Rose and has turned them from rusty robots into patrons of summer.  They will be on sale today at 7pm London time (that sounds so fancy) at http://lunabee.bigcartel.com/.
