Red Edition of Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser from Toy Art Gallery Releases Today!

    Can you sprain your eyeball?  I think I might have.  See, I got sucked into that whole Candy Crush nonsense and I think I played it until I sprained my right eye.  I woke up this morning, ready to share my wealth of secret toy knowledge and overall general insight into the workings of the world when I noticed my eye was literally sore.  I think my addiction to that silly online game has come to a head.  I'll be expecting an intervention soon.  Be gentle.

    Hopefully my eye doesn't split open and reveal that something like this has been chewing on my optic nerve like a Twizzler.  This red edition of Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser will release today at 12pm Pacific time from Toy Art Gallery.  He's a pretty sinister looking bro.  Get one for yourself by going to http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.

Win A Custom Cavey While Supporting Leukemia and Lymphoma Research

    Every once and awhile my wife and I will go to the pet store, buy a load of cat food to donate at the local animal shelter, and sit and play with the cats for a few hours.  The one we go to is a no-kill facility, so many of the animals live there permanently due to age or disability.  They get some fancy canned food and we get a lap full of cats.  It's a win win if there ever was one.

    You don't see to many charitable endeavors involving the world of designer toys, so that makes this extra cool to see.  A Little Stranger has customized her Cavey vinyl figure to help raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma research.  Raffle tickets are available now at www.heycavey.com and they will also give you a chance to win standard release Caveys as second and third prizes.  Help out a good cause and win some toys in the process.

Hello Kitty Halloween Figures from Funko

  

    Who doesn't love Hello Kitty?  I'll tell you who...sociopaths and communists, neither of which you want as your neighbors.  Hello Kitty can make even the most jaded of souls smile, especially when she dwesses up in her wittle costumes.  Just imagine how cute I looked saying that.  

    Funko has harnessed the cuteness in these new Halloween mini figures.  They come blind boxed, so it's  like gambling but without the need for an intervention.  And who cares which one you get cause they're all gonna make you warm and fuzzy inside.  

    For you non-risk takers they also made these bigger toys that you can pick and choose which ones you get.  Or just buy them all cause you'll just regret it later if you don't.  All of them come out on August 8th.

Day of the Dead Jack and Sally Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    I used to work at Hot Topic.  There, I said it.  And no, I'm not particularly proud of the fact.  I am pretty proud that I got fired for refusing to push crap on you that you don't want.  Skinny jeans are bad for your circulation and completely terrible if you're a dude.  For some reason though, teenage girls think it's the cutest thing in the world when their boyfriends wear their pants.  Let me tell you guys, they are delusional.  If we put any stock into the opinions of teenage girls everyone would have to stand and salute a picture of Justin Bieber before sporting events while one of his terrible songs played.  Is that a world we want to live in?  Nope, that's why we ignore them.

    I got a little off subject there, but the point I was making is that we used to get Nightmare Before Christmas stuff in by the truckload and there were always people that would buy one of everything.  Now I like the movie don't get me wrong, but I don't have much use for a Jack Skellington thong or a toilet brush that plays the hits of Danny Elfman.  These guys, on the other hand, could occupy a space on my shelf anytime.

    Jack and Sally got the Day of the Dead treatment in these new Pop! Vinyl figures from Funko and they look pretty spiffy.  You can pick them up August 1st to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the stop motion classic.  

Game of Thrones Blu Ray Set with 3 Exclusive Pop! Vinyls from Funko

    I just bought the San Diego Comic Con exclusive Ned Stark with removable head, and now Amazon is gonna tease me with this!  Come on guys, you're killing me here.  This November, Game of Thrones will be offered as a special Blu Ray box set featuring all 3 seasons and 3 exclusive Pop! Vinyl figures from Funko. And while these are only the mock-ups of what the final toys will look like, I'm gonna need them all.  But my problem is I already have season 1 and 2 on Blu Ray, so I'm gonna have to take drastic measures and beg someone to get me this for Christmas.  It's the only way I can justify it.  Which also means I should probably make up Christmas cards to send out featuring this on the cover and the fact that I need someone to buy it for me.  Wouldn't it make more sense for personalized holiday cards to be advertisements of what you want rather than pictures of you wearing awkward sweaters?  I think I just invented the greatest business ever.
