Medicom Exclusive Devilman Ultrus Bog from Skinner x Lulubell Toy Bodega



     Oh snap son, your life is about to level up to 1000 or something.  I showed you this sucker way back in the day, like a few months ago, and you were all sad cause you don't live in Japan and it would cost you all the monies to get this guy from there to your house.  Well, get ready for this to be a great day for you (unless your day already sucks butt, then hopefully this will ease some of that pain) cause Lulubell Toy Bodega is making this guy available at a great price.  For a mere $90, you could be the proud owner of this Medicom exclusive Devilman Ultrus Bog by Skinner.  $90!!!!!!!!!!!!  When's the last time you saw an Ultrus Bog for $90?  Probably in the 1950's, when you saved up all your Bazooka Joe comics like a good little boy and mailed them away for one.  Your jaw still hurts from chewing all that gum.

    You have until September 28th to pull the trigger on this guy.  After that you will be sad and unattractive to anyone.

The Greatest Lego Set That You Can't Ever Have



    This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.  The fine folks at Citizen Brick take it upon themselves to make things that Lego wouldn't ever produce, such as these Breaking Bad inspired build sets.  They're long sold out, and caused a ton of people to be all butt hurt about how inappropriate they were for kids.  For one, if you're young kids are watching Breaking Bad to begin with there's more you need to worry about than toys.  And two, these suckers weren't cheap and I don't think eight year olds have jobs or credit cards, so the danger of them actually getting one is about as high as me buying the new Kanye West cd.  




    Maybe if enough of us beg and plead enough Lego will start a new division of their company that caters to the older collector.   They could make a Sons of Anarchy line, or Game of Thrones, or the Charlie Manson thrill kill playset.  The possibilities are endless.  Come on Lego, there's tons of us old folks that would go crazy for this stuff.  

    And for those of you that start your Christmas shopping early, I want this guy from the Citizen Brick website:

8 Inch Dunny from ilovedust x Kidrobot



    Kidrobot seems like they're going nuts with the new product releases.  Which, is not a bad thing, but I've sworn an oath of fiscal responsibility, so it makes it a bit tough to covet so much.  I Love Dust is the latest to design an 8 inch Dunny and what makes this guy a bit different from recent releases is that it is just a design on the standard Dunny form.  No sculpting on the form whatsoever, which in this case it really doesn't need.  The design is cool, kinda cute/kinda creepy, and the color choices really make it pop.  

    He'll be available September 26th for $75 from wherever you prefer to buy your toys.  




Back To School Cavey from A Little Stranger


    Remember when you were little and you were excited to go to school?  Yeah, me neither.  That ended for me the moment there were no longer nap times and toys to play with.  But now that I no longer have to go I get pretty excited about it because I live in an area that's big with tourists and that means they're going home.  No more out of state drivers who can't decipher the admittedly-stupid New Jersey road systems.  The boardwalks are nice and peaceful, the stores less crowded, and kids have something to do besides stand in the street and look at you like you did something wrong when you honk for them to move because you're not trying to damage your nice car or spend time in jail for vehicular homicide.

    Cavey is excited to go back to school cause he likes to learn.  And he's got a thing for that school cafeteria pizza.  Fifty of these little guys will be released today (Monday, September 9th) at 8pm London time and each comes with a Cavey cube and an enamel badge.

Usir/Cadaver Kid Mashup from Splurrt at FOE Gallery Tomorrow



    Is it wrong to think this guy is kinda cute?  Is this like some more modern Rorschach test that I've just completely failed and that will lead to my confinement in a mental hospital?  While I go nail my front door shut to keep the men in white coats out, you should plan on making a trip to FOE Store and Gallery tomorrow for the release of these Usir/Cadaver Kid mashups by Splurrt.  Aren't they just so huggable?  


Yellow Monster Embryos from Taylored Curiosities




    Is this guy lemon flavored?  He looks like he could be.  Lemon is one of the most superior flavors in the world.  Lemon is better than just about any other flavor you can name.  Beef is good too though, but I don't want to eat anything that looks like beef flavored candy cause that's kinda pushing it.  Beef mints?  Yuck.  That does remind me of this one time I went to Chik-fil-A and they were selling these Pez dispensers and I was kinda disappointed that the candy didn't taste like chicken.   Now that I think about it that was kind of a gross thing to be disappointed about, but I was caught up in the moment.

    Taylored Curiosities has just released these yellow Monster Embryos.  Don't lick em though, cause resin tastes like crap and may kill you.  It also may not, I'm no scientist.  To be safe you should probably just admire it from your shelf.

Dekorner Exclusive Red Resin Mao Bust from Frank Kozik




    Little known fact:  Chairman Mao invented Candy Crush.  Only someone like this fart muffin could have invented a game so cruel and addictive that it placates the masses and prevents an uprising.  Just think about it:  Each time you get mad about something your phone dings to let you know you have more lives and you commence playing and forgetting what you were mad about.  "Damn, I don't know how we're gonna pay our mortgage this month, oh look someone sent me another life on Facebook."  "I really feel oppressed working in this factory and not being able to meet my needs, oh it's Candy Crush time. "  Candy Crush is the bane of man, the preventative measure to ensure we can not better ourselves and evolve from being mere cogs in the great machine of the state.  I am currently up to level 105.

    Frank Kozik loves taking the horrible leaders of the past and putting an artistic spanking on them.  Bad horrible leaders, bad!  Either that or he feels Mao would have gone ape to ride Space Mountain.  This resin bust in brilliant red is an exclusive to DeKorner.  Fifty of them exist and you can be one of their lucky owners this Monday, September 9th, at 9am Pacific time.
