Custom Toys of the Week: Bjornik

    If there is any justice in this world of toys, Bjornik will very soon have his own production Dunny.  He's never made anything that I wouldn't be thrilled to own and hopefully Kidrobot has something planned for this artist in the near future.  Until then, you can still own one of these amazing custom figures.  These go on sale Tuesday, August 13th, at 9pm PDT at www.bjornik.bigcartel.com.  

The Black Five Alavaka from Devil's Head Productions x Lulubell Toy Bodega

    This is now my new favorite colorway of this figure.  Devil's Head Productions and Lulubell Toy Bodega will be releasing these 5 exclusive Avalaka figures tomorrow August 10th, at 3:33pm Pacific time.  Two of em come with a nifty head band and a face covered in blood, or as I like to call it, my Friday dress code.  Seriously, it's how I look when I go to work.  People are all like "Hey, why do you have blood all over your face" and I'm all like "Don't worry, it's not mine".  They still worry though.  

Freddy Krueger Video Game Edition from NECA

    N.E.C.A. released what turned out to be one of the biggest hits of San Diego Comic Con in their Jason Voorhees figure modeled after the horrible NES game.  Well less we not forget that A Nightmare on Elm Street had a pretty terrible game of its own.  Now you can get Freddy inspired by how he looked in that slice of video game nostalgia.  And he will be packaged in a reproduction of the original game box.  This will be available at retail locations but will be extremely limited.  

New South Park and Street Fighter Mini Figures from Kidrobot

    You know what's great about these Southpark: The Stick of Truth figures from Kidrobot?  You can buy the one's you want.  That's right,  they're all sold in window boxes, which means no surprises.  It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of blind boxes and that is strictly from a financial stand point.  I still have a huge box full of doubles and each time I look at it I just think about something awesome I could have bought with that money.  Like electricity.

    Ok, so these new Street Fighter figures ARE blind boxed, which of course I've just told you how much I hate.  And I stick by that.  The good thing is I know Kidrobot is without a doubt going to release something else that I'm gonna have to have, so that frees up some cash for me to get something I really want.  What's great about this series is the appeal it has to people who maybe wouldn't buy a vinyl toy before but will now fall in love with them, allowing this great sub culture of the toy world to keep growing.  

    The South Park figures will be available for $9.99 each on September 5th while Street Fighter series 2 will be released August 29th for the same price.  

Masked Uamous from Toy Art Gallery

    When the aliens finally do invade our planet and makes us all their slaves, I hope they're at least this cute.  It will take some of the sting out of our sudden fall from the top of the food chain.  Uamou has taken her little horned guy and added a copper mask to him, hiding whatever bad intentions he may have.  They will come in two sizes: the 4 inch one will be $50 while the 7 inch one (that features a body crafted by RealxHead) will be $200.  Get one for yourself on Friday, August 9th, at noon Pacific time from Toy Art Gallery.

Exclusive Alavaka from Devil's Head Productions x Toy Art Gallery

    This little creep looks like he would have no problem trading your soul for a bag of peanuts.  Lightly salted ones at that.  And he's probably full of bad advice.  Seriously, if you find yourself wandering around in the woods and stumble upon some dude that looks like this, don't call the Discovery Channel and try to get your own show, just run.  Your blurry cell phone video that they find along with your severed arm isn't going to be worth much.

     Devil's Head Productions have created this dude, called Alavaka, specifically in this colorway for Toy Art Gallery.  This 5 inch tall evil guru will cost $60 and will come with either black or clear crystal eyes, which are packaged randomly.  Get one for yourself this Friday, August 9th, at 12pm Pacific time from http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.

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.
