8 Inch Quetzalcoatl Custom Dunny from The Beast Brothers

    Ahhhhh if only I was in charge of making toy decisions.  I'm not mind you, but it's not for a lack of trying.  I've got my fair share of opinions, sometimes negative, sometimes not.  Most of the negative opinions I never share because I feel it would be a waste of time for me to type about things that I think are dumb.  Believe me, it would take awhile.  What I like to instead do is focus on the stuff I really like and just let everyone else blow smoke up your butt about how awesome something is when we all know it sucks.  That being said, if I were in charge of making toy decisions this would be an actual production Dunny.  The colors, the sculpted pieces, everything is spot on.  You can't tell me people wouldn't go nuts to own one of these.  I would call you a lying liar whose pants are indeed on fire, cause this guy is sick.  

    The Beast Brothers aren't in the business of waiting around for someone else to realize how cool this would be, so they just made it themselves.  This is of course based on their 3 inch Dunny that was an actual production release, but this sucker should have been made huge from the get go.  Starting tomorrow, September 6th, you have 24 hours to order one of these.  However many are ordered are however many they shall make by hand.  And it even comes in a laser engraved box, which is pretty cool.  Order yours from http://www.thebeastbrothers.com/.

Scamwave from UME Toys

    Let us continue our journey into the world of famous characters given a nice artistic reboot.  UME Toys has released this Scamwave figure today based on everyone's favorite evil cassette player.  Anyone could paint an action figure a different color and call it a day, but this is what makes this unique.  It's all hand made and a completely unique vision.  Only 5 of this edition will be available and they will each come with a set of blueprints and a mini print.  You better get on it son.

The Meth Lord from Blockheads Toys

    Personal Breaking Bad update:  I am now into season 5.  It's taken a lot of hard work and I've had a great team supporting me through these few weeks of watching the entire series.  Two days worth of my life have now been signed over to Netflix and I regret nothing!!!!!!!!!  Surprisingly enough I didn't need to actually use meth to stay up all night and watch episode after episode.

    You know what I love?  Ok, you may not and that's probably for the best incase the cops ask you, but one thing is when someone takes a classic character and lends their artistic interpretation to it.  The Meth Lord from Blockheads Toys is that kind of toy that makes me happy to write about.  They've created ol Heisenberg out of the very substance he created and that has taken over his life.  He is consumed by it; by the money it makes him.  It's genius and you can own one of these in either "Heisenberg's Stash" or glow in the dark versions.  Preorder one of these suckers right now by visiting http://blockheadstoys.bigcartel.com/.

New Custom Tuttz from Argonaut Resins x Emily Bee

    My wife wants another cat.  She's always dropping subtle hints like "I want another cat" or "let's go to the shelter and get a kitten."  I'm not opposed to it, but I'm already worried that my house smells like pee and I'm just used to it and don't know anymore.  Like when you ride in someone's car and the moment you get in you're hit with the smell of old socks and dead rodents and they're just smiling away, oblivious to the fact that their car makes your sinuses weep.   

    Fake cats are the safest way to add to your feline collection without having to add litter boxes and scented candles.  Emily Bee painted this Tuttz from Argonaut Resins in her instantly recognizable style and is offering him for sale today (Wednesday September 4th) at 1pm EST.

Frank Kozik Marvel Labbits Signing Tour at Kidrobot Locations

    The man, the myth, the cat lover Frank Kozik will be doing a signing tour at Kidrobot locations to celebrate the release of the new Marvel Labbit mini figures.  I don't think he'll be bringing his little buddy Eddie that you see there, mostly because Kidrobot can't afford his dressing room requirements:

 -  He will only drink water that has been collected from melting polar ice caps.  Try and substitute      Aquafina and he'll cut your face off and wear it for Halloween.

-  His litter box needs to be filled with shredded currency from any country the United States is currently invading.  Canadian will work in times of peace.

-   All of his groupies need to be checked for fleas and sign extensive waivers absolving him of any legal matters that may arise from, and I quote, "how he likes to get down."

    But Frank will be there and word on the street is that there might be some kind of cool poster involved in these appearances that everyone is gonna want and probably not save one for me.  That's cool, its not like I have a huge hole in my wall where I keep all of my guns/blackmail material that could use a good covering up.

Here is where you can meet Mr. Kozik:


September 11 @ Kidrobot San Francisco from 6-8pm PRE RELEASE EVENT!

September 12 @ Kidrobot New York from 6-8pm RELEASE DAY!

September 13 @ Kidrobot Boulder from 6-8pm

September 14 @ Kidrobot Los Angeles from 6-8pm

Green Hazmat Suit Walter White By Mezco for NYCC

    I've just recently started watching Breaking Bad and am currently in the midst of the third season.  I resisted for a long time because I'm always nervous to start a new tv show.  What if I hate it and it takes me 45 episodes to realize how dumb it is?  What if it gets too corny, like True Blood did for me (Seriously, they should just call that show "Man Butt" or how about "No Dude Here Ever Wears a Shirt").  But I do love Breaking Bad and Walter White is one of the best characters in tv history.  How can you not wanna be this guy?  Well, I don't really want to make meth, or have people trying to kill me, but the cash flow is pretty sweet.  And he gets to realize his inner heathen.  

    Mezco has made 500 of these green hazmat suit editions and they will be available at New York Comic Con this October.  The online presales are already gone, so if you're not going to the con you better find yourself a mule cause this is one bad toy.  

DamGun Bots from Kidrobot

    This is probably the best release of the Kidrobot mascot figure I've seen yet.  What's cool about it is that it comes in pieces and you get to put it together, kinda like those Gundam kits that these were obviously inspired by.  You can snap all the armor together and they come with stickers to decorate and whatnot.  I remember being all excited when I was a wee viking lad at getting a huge new toy, putting it all together myself, and then dreading the ominous sheet of stickers.  This wee viking lad was also a perfectionist and if I didn't get those suckers on perfect I was right pissed.  Maybe I'll get someone to help me with these while I supervise.  These 3 inch mech robo warriors are available September 12th for $14.99 each.
