Here are a few of the folks celebrating American independence with sweet discounts.  Get on it.

Ghost Pirate Chaos Bunny from Joe Ledbetter x The Loyal Subjects

    You know what sucks about San Diego Comic Con?  Not being able to go to San Diego Comic Con.  But who wants to listen to me whine all day?  Certainly not my wife, and she's legally obligated to.  

    So I love when companies split up the amount of a release to give us geographically or financially challenged folks a shot at scoring a toy.  The Loyal Subjects are doing just that with this Ghost Pirate Chaos Bunny from Joe Ledbetter.  It's still not a viking, but a ghost pirate is pretty cool.  150 of these will be released at the convention July 18th from 1-2pm while another 150 will be release online at www.theloyalsubjects.com the same day at 2pm.  

Custom Cadaver Kids from Splurrt x Skinner

   Being dead does absolutely nothing for your figure.  Everything goes all loosey goosey and bugs take up residence to open up their own little buffets.  It's pretty crappy.  But if you're gonna be a dead sack of meat you might as well look the best you can doing it.

   Skinner painted up 10 of Splurrt's Cadaver Kids and they will go on sale tomorrow (July 4th) at noon Pacific time at http://shopcriticalhit.com/.  Decomposition smell not included.

More SDCC Exclusives from Funko

    My last meme was such a hit I've decided to make one for every post I do about Funko's San Diego Comic Con exclusives.  I'm gonna be a busy man.

    The Big Bang Theory is a show I thoroughly enjoy.  Not only is it hilarious, but they have managed to employ most of the former Roseanne cast.  It would blow my mind if they could get both actresses that played Becky into the same episode.  

    These super nerds are in the middle of being beamed to some strange planet.  I would love to have one of those machines.  I don't think I would use it for myself though, I probably would just throw people's car keys in it and laugh maniacally.  No one's ever accused me of being responsible with science fition technology.

Don't worry, the ladies are represented too, as Ms. Farrah Fowler will be available in an alternate outfit.  

    Hey it's the little dude from the Progressive Insurance commercial.  Oh, and they're in Despicable Me 2, which I haven't seen yet cause it's not on Netflix.  But when it is I'll probably watch it cause these guys are funny.  They're all shiny from their metallic paint treatment.  That Evil Minion looks liek he would make a great dental add, maybe he could be tooth decay come to life.  

    This little dude glows in the dark!  You could buy a ton of them and light a path to the bathroom at night!

    Get these and many, many, many more at Funko's booth #5343.

Stinky Ginger "Tide Pool" Edition from Chris Ryniak x Circus Posterus x Tomenosuke

    This is how I picture most food looking after it's in my stomach.  Those that know me know that I don't have the greatest digestive system in the world and just looking at certain foods can cause my guts to cramp up in a fit of rebellion.  I believe all food has the temperament of Philadelphia sports fans and if given the chance will stab you in the parking lot of an Eagles game.

     The Tide Pool edition of Chris Ryniak's Stinky Ginger will release tomorrow (July 3rd) from Circus Posterus and Tomenosuke.  He looks ready to force you into using the nearest public bathroom you can find.  Only 60 of these were made:  30 for North America through Circus Posterus and 30 for the rest of the world through Tomenosuke.  Each comes signed and numbered on the header card and will sell for $89.  

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.
