L'il Kim Illin Glo Pink Resin Figures from Frank Kozik

    Well there you have it.  Everything is neatly spelled out for you right on the picture there.  Nothing much for me to do here I suppose.   Which I guess is good because I do have other things I should accomplish on my day off.  I need to go to the grocery store and get some bread and some ham.  I have to pay my association fees for my neighborhood too, or else I'll forget and they'll charge me a late fee, which sucks.  There's nothing I detest more than a late fee, except for Kanye West.  And there's always dishes to wash.  It amazes me how quickly every dish in the house gets dirty between two people and three cats.  I think Sharon has been eating dinner multiple times on nights when I work.  It's the only way to explain it.  I'm gonna go take a shower.

Tooth Decay from Creo Design

    I'm not a fan of the dentist.  I'm also not a fan of getting my hair cut, but I think that's more to do with the mortal fear of a slip of the scissors and months of wearing a baseball hat.  I used to have long hair and I had it for nearly 15 years, so when I decided to cut it short it was frightening.  What if me head was oddly shaped?  What if I had a birth mark in the shape of Africa that you would be able to see?  I'd still rather get my hair cut than go to the dentist though, cause there's just something about some dudes hand shoved into my mouth with sharp instruments that I find unappealing.  

    Creo Design is channeling ll of our oral fear with this Tooth Decay resin figure.  This sucker is 7 inches tall and will come in any color you want.  That's right, the first 9 pieces will be available in any color you want.  Choose one for the body, and one for the tooth.  Personally, I would go matte black with a gold tooth.  These go on sale Friday, August 9th, at 12pm GMT for $160 with free shipping.  The free shipping deal lasts for a month, at which point you're gonna have to pay a little extra to have one delivered to your door.

    They also have a few of these worm crawly machiney thingys from Doktor A.  You can have one for $120 and they are also limited to 100 pieces.

Get em both today at https://www.munkyking.com/.

Pyramidun from Andrew Bell x Kidrobot

    This toy has gotten a lot of panties in wads.  Andrew Bell has re imagined Kidrobot's Dunny with a pyramid head.  What's cool about this is that the pyramid has three sections that spin, giving you the opportunity to create the face you like the best.  Yeah, I kinda miss the traditional Dunny ears, but I don't know how on earth they would have added them in and still given you free reign over the face you make with it.  At the end of the day it does take some getting used to with the different head shape but the interactive part of it outweighs that for me.  And the great thing is that they aren't blind boxed, so you can easily get the color scheme you want or you can get them both without having to spend a lot of money or end up with doubles.  They come out on August 15th and will sell for $14.99 each.  

Creatures Show at Foe Store and Gallery featuring Plaseebo

    You may never see toys as crazy as the ones that will be on display at this weekend's Creatures show at Foe Store and Gallery in Massachusetts.   Just look at the stuff that Plaseebo will have on display and for sale and try to sleep tonight:

    I wish that when we died out skulls would separate from our bodies, grow tentacles, and then live a life of leisure on an island in the Pacific.  Every year they would gather at a set meeting point, say Kansas, and then migrate together to go and begin their new lives.  The journey would be perilous, and not all of the skulls would make it, but if they did they would live in a nice retirement resort and develop a love for beach volleyball.  

    Ok, that may not happen, but that doesn't mean I don't want it to any less.  I love this Skulloctopus.  The figure alone is cool enough, but he also lights up with a motion-activated LED.  Can't get your kid to stay in their room all night?  Put this guy outside their door and never worry again about them coming to bug you while you're trying to sleep.  

    How do you top a motion-activated light up toy?  You make the LED's change color.  This Isotope Night Gamer has some pretty crazy head gear and a worm-like tongue that could unnerve the bravest of men.  

    I'll be the first to admit; the Android toys don't normally do it for me.  No matter who designs them I just can't bring myself to want to own one.  Until now.  Who would have thought that all you have to do is fill it with asteroid slime and space guts and I would suddenly be all about it?  This could improve a lot of advertising mascots, like Tony the Tiger or Bob's Big Boy.  

    See all of Plaseebo's work in person starting this Friday, August 9th.  And keep an eye on http://www.shopfoe.com/ to get a chance to purchase one of these if you can't make it for the event.  

Mike Egan SDCC Exclusives Available Now at Lulubell Toy Bodega

    Mike Egan is my favorite artist who used to be an embalmer.  Come to think of it, I don't know anyone who used to prepare corpses and make neo-folk art.  But that still makes him my favorite.  The man has experienced death in ways most of us never will and I think that gives his paintings a unique truth to them, as they were crafted by hands that have transformed people's loved ones into the last physical image they will ever see of them.  It's eerie and it's poetic in the same breath.  

    Another one of his characters entered the 3D realm this past San Diego Comic Con and now Lulubell Toy Bodega has the few remaining pieces for those of us that were unable to be there in person.  Lucky is available in both black and orange and makes a nice companion piece to his previously released Bones figure.  They also have a few copies of his Death Goes Pop book in which he painted portraits of some of pop cultures most recognizable characters.  Each on also come with a hand embellished and signed print.  

Check out more of his work at http://www.eganpaintings.com/.
