Playge Green Misfortune Cat by Ferg x Squibbles Ink/Rotofugi for SDCC

    Is anyone in need of a lung, piece of liver, or a gently used kidney?  All of these San Diego Comic Con reveals are making me think about how to raise some quick cash, and the market for human organs is always strong.  I figure a little write up on Craigslist,  a hopefully quick operation, and I could have enough cash in hand to buy every toy I want.  

    This kitty is making me seriously consider turning to the black market.  Ferg made up 100 of these 8 inch tall Misfortune Cats and 70 of them will be available at the Squibbles Ink/Rotofugi booth #5248 at Comic Con.  The rest are going to members of the Collect and Display forums.  At $120 he ain't cheap, but he is awesome and worth every penny.  

A Plethora of Deadbeets from Toy Art Gallery

    These Deadbeet toys are ridiculously popular, much more so than the actual food item they're based on.  I don't think I've ever eaten a beet before.  In fact, being that they aren't made from red meat or artificial flavors, I can pretty much guarantee it.  Here's my philosophy on eating well:  who cares.  All the vitamins in the world won't stop you from getting hit by a bus or getting mauled by a pack of coyotes.  So eat snacks for meals and enjoy yourself.

    This guy is pretty cool though.  Nebulon5 painted up 10 of these glow in the dark veggies for Toy Art Gallery and they go on sale tomorrow (July 3rd) for $125 each.  

    You can also pick up a ton of Deadbeets that were customized by various artists from around the world.  They were featured in a show this past weekend and are now available on the Toy Art Gallery website.  

Sugar, Lamb, Go! from Brandi Milne x 3D Retro for SDCC

    OH MY GAWD this is precious!  I don't mean that in a sarcastic way either, I mean it in a rip your face off and feed it to a rabid raccoon cause this is so cute you could die sort of way.  I wanna carry this around in my beard with me everywhere I go.  We could listen to death metal together, and watch reenactments of the dark ages on the History Channel, and get into bar fights.  

   Brandi Milne is the artist behind this amazing creation.  What I like about her is that her painting have so much exaggerated movement in them, like everything in the scene could completely succumb to a strong breeze whipping through the canvas.  I already have her other toy Bunny, Ride, Go!  and this  would be a fine companion piece indeed.  3D Retro is releasing 200 of these at San Diego Comic Con and hopefully only 199 people want one so I can by the leftover peppermint lamb lady.  I will crush someone's skull if they buy the last one.  Unless they were planning to mail it to me, in which case I will smack them on the hiney and yell "good play."

Yuki 7 from Kevin Dart x Gentle Giant for SDCC

    And now for something completely different.  This is not what I would expect from Gentle Giant, who are known more for their super realistic versions of film and television characters.  Created by Kevin Dart, this super secret agent is an exclusive to San Diego Comic Con and being that the preorders for non attendees have already sold out, you're gonna need to find a friend to snag you this.

First SDCC Exclusives from Funko

    You can expect a bazillion of posts detailing the exclusives that Funko will have for San Diego Comic Con.  They have a list that is insanely long and they are just now starting to reveal some of what they're bringing.  Like these metallic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!  The shiny paint is so much cooler than the regular release, so I imagine these will be really popular.  

Or if you prefer your toys fresh from a crime scene rather than a Saturday morning cartoon marathon, then how about some blood spattered Walking Dead figures.  

    Or if your more into intergalactic gore, they also have the Alien and Predator figures covered in green blood!  This is just the tip of the iceberg and will most likely cause you to go broke by the end of summer trying to track them all down.

Custom Deadbeet Show at Toy Art Gallery Tonight!

    Cancel your necromancy club meeting for tonight!  But only if you live in Los Angeles or within driving distance, cause Toy Art Gallery has a custom show tonight featuring Scott Tolleson's Deadbeet figure.  A bazillion artists took this weird little dude and made him their own and you can see the results first hand and even buy one if you fancy it.  The opening reception is from 7-10 Pacific time and you never know who might be there hanging out with their work.  

New DC Comics Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko

    Funko has got to be tired of my shenanigans.  Every time they ask who they should make into Pop! Vinyl figures next my answer is always Harley Quinn.  Well, now I'm gonna have to think of someone else to harass them about because they're finally taking my advice.  This August you can add Ms. Quinn to your collection, along with Batman Beyond (which I'm also going to buy), Nightwing, and Darkseid.  Now if they would only release Sanford and Son figures.
