Tooth Decay from Creo Design

    If anyone wants to know what happened to Dr. Mengle, he is alive and practicing evil dentistry in Southern New Jersey.

    I haven't been to the dentist in a few years, but I feel I have a really good reason.  The last time I went my dental insurance people sent me to some guy whose office was in a converted garage in his house.  No big deal, maybe he just wants the sweet tax write off.  And when I met him and he turned out to be in his late 80's I thought he must be really good at what he does to be in practice so long.  It wasn't until after he drilled into my tooth without the benefit of pain killers that I thought he was probably a Nazi war criminal in hiding.

    My tooth had chipped and I wanted to make sure it didn't develop a cavity.  He takes a look, says its no problem and that he can smooth it out real quick and it would be good as new.  At first he was right, he was shaping the problem area with the drill and I felt nothing.  Then he jabbed that sucker in there like he was trying to kill it.  The pain was excruciating and I nearly tore the armrests from his chair.  When he finished I wanted to punch him in his wrinkly old face, but I felt this utter terror of having been violated so completely.  That and I couldn't see out of my right eye.

     Tooth Decal from Creo Design is 7 inches tall, made from solid resin, and brings up painful memories.  They're gonna be 9 of these in the first release that will take place around July or August.  I have to go and lie down for a bit now.

Spray Paint Porcelain by NooN x K. Olin Tribu

    I tried to spray paint something once.  Well, I guess it was more an attempt at graffiti than anything.  We had gone to Richmond earlier in the day and I had seen the way people wrote their names on the buildings in these crazy styles, so I asked about it and learned that they used spray cans to do it.  Well, we had spray paint in the garage and big pieces of plywood that no one ever used, so I figured I'd make some art.  Like most of my artistic endeavors, I quickly found out it was harder than it looks.  At the conclusion of my experiment I just ended up with a completely red piece of wood, because everything I tried to write looked more like a yard sale sign than a work of street art.  

    Maybe I just needed a fancier spray can like this porcelain one from NooN x K. Olin Tribu.  Only 50 were made and they were all hand decorated.  You can preorder one now by going to http://www.artandtoys.com/.

Pollen Kaiser "Devilman GID" from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery

    Guess what?  This dude releases today!!!!  I know I've been doing that a lot.  And by "that" I mean posting stuff on the day its released, but hear me out on this one.  I'd like to think of myself and the last minute reminder you have to get something you want.  Sure, I could tell you about it 2 weeks ago, you could forget because you found out you have a tapeworm, and then where does that leave you?  By this time you would have already taken the proper medication to kill the tapeworm, begun evacuating it's dead worm segments from your intestines, and have prepared yourself to welcome happiness back into your life.  And then here it is, handed to you on a silver platter.  No need to thank me, it is after all why I was put on this Earth.

    

    I loooooooooooooooooove Paul Kaiju's Pollen Kaiser.  It's a big hunk 'o weird plastic and this version is painted in homage to Devilman!  And it glows in the dark!  Finally, I can save money on my electric bill!

    Toy Art Gallery is offering this dude up for sale TODAY (June 21st) at 12pm Pacific time.  He's $195 and totally worth it.  You want one.  I want one.  I would get a Kickstarter going to buy one if I had enough time.  

Uglydoll x Universal Monsters Plushies for Halloween

    I know, I was kind of a jerk yesterday and didn't post anything.  I was spending the day with my wife, roaming around the city of Philadelphia like two lost tourists.  It was fun, we saw some weird stuff:

    Weird thing #1:  There was a new sneaker released yesterday and a huge line outside of a store we walked past of people trying to buy them.  One person in line was in a wheelchair and did not actually have legs.  And he was waiting in line to buy sneakers.  With no legs.

    Weird thing #2:  We went to a book signing that night and there were two blind people there.  It was at this point that I asked God why he was torturing me.

    So yes, the moral of the story is that I neglected my duties yesterday to entertain you, while I was thoroughly amused by the many things I saw all day.  It doesn't seem fair, but it also gave you a chance to peruse the archives and remember the fun we've had together in days gone long past.

    This Halloween you can buy yourself some new cuddle buddies in the form of Uglydolls dressed as Universal Monsters.  Just look how cute they are?  They're gonna be $20 when they're released so you can totally get them all, throw them on your bed, and roll around like you're Scrooge McDuck in his pile of money.  Except this will be softer and less coated in germs.  

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.
