Horror Classics Mystery Minis from Funko




    Only Funko could turn the film world's most frightening characters into something that is almost cute.  I would like to point out that they did forget about the scariest movie I've ever seen.  I don't blame them for missing it, because there really wasn't any blood or gore, but this film has psychologically damaged me from the moment I saw it:



    I'm pretty sure this movie has rendered me unable to have kids.  Who knew that teenagers were so horrific?  I would spend many nights at Camp Crystal Lake with Jason trying to murder me before I would be inclined to try and raise teenage girls.   They're scary.  



    Back to the task at hand.   You know you want them all.  They will be released August 15th in blind box form wherever you prefer to buy your toys.  

New Releases Tomorrow from The Mark Ultra



    You know what would make your week better?  New toys.  It always works for me.  If I feel like crap I go out and get myself something nice, then later I usually feel like crap for spending money.  But for that brief window I felt pretty darn good with my new toy.  The Mark Ultra has many options to make you feel better about the bad week you may be having.  For a mere $15 you can get this set of 3 U.L.T.R.A. figures.  That's a pretty good value for all the wrasslin action you'll be able to have with them.




    How about an emerald green Intruder figure for $18?  You can tell he had a rough go of things because his left arm is all cyborged out.  



    I can hear my mother yelling at me now "put some clothes on, you weirdo".  She never understood me.  But that doesn't mean you can't look snazzy in a brand new hat or brand new shirt.  Each is just $20 and nothing feels quite as good as a new shirt.

Bad Ass: Stealth Edition from Kronk x Pobber Toys Available Now



    Monkeys, no matter how big they are, always look like they want to be your friend.  Then you hear about them ripping people's arms off and beating them to death with their own limbs.  But I like to live life dangerously, so when Crystal the monkey (of such films as The Hangover and other shows that involve monkeys) came to Wildwood for photo opportunities I was all about it.  This is the resulting picture:


    Look how happy my wife and I were to have a monkey on our heads!  We stared Death in the face and have the picture to prove it!  After we took this the monkey did kill like 10 people or so, but she knew we weren't going to have it.  By the way, I have gotten even more handsome since then.

   Ok, now that you know what a bad ass I am, you know that I am fit to judge other bad ass things.  Like this mecha ape that is actually called Bad Ass.  Kronk and Pobber Toys have just released this stealth edition of this angry monkey bro.  He's pretty big and mean looking.  And if you scroll just a little further you'll see the chase version of this guy:



    You have a 1 in 6 shot of getting one of these when you order the Stealth Edition.  Get em now wherever you prefer to buy your fancy toys.

New 8 Inch Transformers from The Loyal Subjects



    When I saw that The Loyal Subjects were doing a mini series of Transformers I was hoping they would make some bigger versions.  They had a few at San Diego Comic Con and now everyone will have there chance to snag one when these two are released next month.  First off, you have the classic Optimus Prime.  You can't go wrong with the original thing.  But what if you always wondered what old Optimus would look like painted up like a My Little Pony?  Well, that's kinda sick, so you should see someone, but if they deem you sane then your next step is to get the DIY figure.  



    Paint him up however you like, cover him in glitter, or rat skulls, or leave him blank.  The painted version of Optimus will be $55 while the DIY will be $40.  Both will be available at your favorite places to buy toys.

FUK Series 2 Trading Cards Preorder Happening Now



   My grandfather has been pretty sick recently and it's made me think about the times we've spent together.  For some reason one thing that really sticks out in my mind is him driving me to every 7-11 in Newport News, Virginia hunting down packs of Garbage Pail Kids.  I was a weird little dude who liked nothing more than professional wrestling and horror movies, so these were right up my alley.  It took us 3 or 4 stops and countless miles before we found a place that wasn't sold out of them.  I barely got the packs to the car before ripping them all open and laughing hysterically at the weird images that each card contained.  It's a silly little moment that right now holds a lot of meaning for me.

    Renone wants everyone to be able to relieve those childhood memories with his series of GPK inspired cards.  Many different toy artists are involved in this series, including Motorbot, Kris Dulfer, Cash Cannon, and Don Chulo.  Preorders are happening right now for this seconds series of cards and even uncut sheets of the entire set.
