Even More Goodness from Funko for SDCC

    It must be a cool job to work at Funko.  Someone is obviously getting paid to say "how about we make this" and then watch as it happens.  Zombie Jake?  Sure.  Droids Boba Fett?  Why not?  My suggestions at work usually involve me asking someone to stop being a moron, and never once has that resulted in a toy being made.  Visit booth #5343 and beg these fine people to hire you.  And buy lots of stuff.  It will help your prospects.  

More SDCC Exclusives from Mike Egan x DKE

    I was wondering how long it would take for Mike Egan to release a follow up to his incredibly popular Bones toy.  And here is my answer.  He has once again teamed up with DKE to produce a killer figure, this time it's that bearded devil Lucky.  You can get him in either orange or black, but I say:

    I already told you about his Death Goes Pop book that will be available at the con, but did you know you can buy all of the original art from it?  And for only $75!!!!!!!  He's taken some of the most iconic characters in entertainment and given them his classic folk art twist.  This is the best deal you will find the entire time you are there.  You probably can't even get a hot dog for $75.

More SDCC Releases from 3DRetro

I think I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown if Comic Con isn't over soon.  I literally can't keep up with all the cool stuff coming out.  I also am not sleeping much while trying to plan my future in crime to be able to afford all of this on the secondary market.  

    Frank Kozik and 3DRetro are sharing a booth, so it's convenient that they should have an exclusive together.  Only 50 of his Clockwork Carrot figure got the glow in the dark treatment and $140 in American currency will get you one.  You bring pesos, you get laughed at.

    You can begin your own Octopup breeding business with this four pack from Nathan Hamill.  Ok, you can't really breed them because they're plastic, but that warped little mind of yours will probably try anyway.  A mere $40 will get you all of them in this exclusive set.  

    This guy will come in handy when you're crying yourself to sleep on the plane because you realize all your stuff got repossessed while you were away.  Scott Tolleson and Luke Chueh combined forces to make you your new favorite snuggle buddy.  Go on, tell him all your feelings.  After you cough up the $40 though, cause nobody is gonna buy it after you cry all over him.  

Find these and many more at booth #5051.

Even More SDCC Exclusives from DKE

    Skinner just won Comic Con.  He took classic He-Man figures, replaced their heads with that of Charles Manson, and painted em up all nice and pretty.  Every idea that everyone else has ever had is officially dumb by comparison.  And they're only $150?  You can't even get him to think about painting something for you for $150, let alone get a complete, carded figure.  He's a busy man, and time is money.  I wonder what he did with all the heads he cut off?

eeeeeek!

    Didn't I just do a whole post yesterday about The Sucklord and his DKE exclusives?  Well, they snuck another one in there while I was napping.  Jason Freeny cut this sucker up to see how he ticks and rather than bury him again he's gonna sell him to you!  Everybody needs to know how autopsies work so they can better dispatch of their enemies without getting caught, and what could possibly be a more fun way to learn?  

    Jabba the Hut and those shut ins you see on tv really aren't that different.  Jabba just had money so he could hire a bunch of fools to do all the stuff he needed, like get him Chinese food and wash his back.  Alex Pardee has effectively captured the likeness of the galaxy's greatest invalid in this Bunnywith figure.  Now bring him some chicken and put his stories on.  

SDCC Exclusives from Restore x Lulubell Toy Bodega

    I would not wrestle with this dude.  He would most likely cheat by bitting your nose off.  He looks like a guy that drinks too much and wants to wrestle everyone at the bar in some odd display of his manliness.  We all know that guy.  

    Restore will be dropping three new Debris Japan figures at Lulubell Toy Bodega's booth #5045 next week during San Diego Comic Con and online via Pop Soda.  The glow in the dark with black "clothes" and the green with red ones will be $60, while the one you see at the bottom that is fully painted will be $100.  Here's their release days and times:

Green with red: $60 usd - preview night release

GID Glow with Black: $60 usd - Friday, 5pm

Full painted "Profuse" Versions: $100usd - Sunday, 5pm

SDCC Release and Signing Schedule from Kidrobot

    Well, looks like my work here is pretty much done.  Kidrobot has just released this handy guide to their releases and signings at next week's San Diego Comic Con.  I saw the mock ups for the Marvel Labbits at Toy Fair and they look pretty killer.  They are definitely the coolest licensed items Kidrobot has released thus far.  There are, however, two releases that I really, really, really, really want.  The first one being the Locondonta 8" Dunny from Jon-Paul Kaiser.  This one is supposed to be different from the smaller version that just came out in the 2013 series but no matter what it's going to be on my wish list until I can track one down.  The second is the Keep Watch Labbit from Frank Kozik x Mishka.  Even without seeing it you know it has to be amazing.  The last two artist series Labbits that were convention exclusives were made into retail releases using different colors, so I'm hoping something similar happens with this one.  Ditto on the Dunny.  

New Custom Releases Tonight from Argonaut Resins

    I recently got suckered into watching that show Downton Abbey that everyone has been going nuts about.  I thought I was gonna hate it and even after the first episode I wasn't sure.  But somehow it got it's aristocratic hooks deeply embedded in my brain and the wife and I ended up watching two season's worth in a few days.  I am completely obsessed and it's really been difficult to not go out and buy the third season.  Then I go to work and I'm talking about it and one of my coworkers says "Oh, I watched some of that show but I'm not sure which season it was, did you see when...spoiler removed...happened?"  No, no I hadn't actually you evil succubus of my televised enjoyment.  She couldn't have generalized it, noooooooooooooo, she had to give away a huge plot point.  This is why I don't carry a hammer around with me.  Well that and it would look silly.

    These custom Argonaut Resins figures from Angella Powell make me think of the beautiful English countryside, large familial estates, and a time where it was not only cool but encouraged to marry your cousin.  Or they could be ultra hipsters, but why would I want to tarnish their adorableness with such horrid thoughts?  These, as well as all of the customs made by Small Angry Monster and END that you see below, will be going up for sale tonight at 9pm Eastern time at http://argonautresins.bigcartel.com/.
