First Batch of NYCC Exclusives from Tenacious Toys

    The great blue takeover is happening at New York Comic Con this year courtesy of Tenacious Toys.  They have a giant collective booth with a ton of other folks that will form like some miniature city inside of the convention.  Word is they'll have their own post office, fire department, and grocery store, but I haven't been able to confirm this.  Seriously, it's gonna be huge.  These are some of the exclusives that Benny will have available just from his side of things.  Get ready to go into debt.

    MegaSeth is one of the best resin dudes I've ever seen and I'm glad I'll finally be able to see one in person.  This king of all that is metal from Lisa Rae Hansen is limited to only 5 pieces in this edition and each is hand made and only $60.  Me thinks I may need one.  

    Continuing with the blue theme are these Monster Embryos from Taylored Curiosities.  Pretty cute right?  I dunno how many were made or what they'll cost, but I'm betting they'll be cheaper than any cab ride in the city and a lot less dangerous.

    Is it a toy?  Is it art?  Will it unleash hellish beings who will wish to torture you if you try and open it?  Who cares (well the last part is kinda frightening to be honest) cause it looks cool.  Carson Catlin is a man with more patience than I've ever been able to muster.  You have to be zen-like to carve up toys the way he does with such precision.  Luckily these weren't all individually cut, or he may just have drive himself nuts.  Ten of these blue cubes will be available at $50 each.  

    Wait a second...this appears to be yellow.  How did this happen?  Just when you think you have a grasp on what's going on in the world they go and change things up on ya.  VISEone is the man behind this Zombie Goo figure and he will be at the convention to sign one of these 100 exclusives especially for you.  And they're only $40 each.

    Ok, all is now right with the world as we have returned to a more familiar shade of toy.   But talk about mixing it up.  We've seen resin, vinyl, and now plush!  Furry Feline Creatives made 10 of these hand made 15 inch plushies and they will be available for $40.  

    I'm sure there's gonna be more, but this is what I know about so far.  Go and say hi at booth #208.

KaijuMonster at NYCC

    Obviously, KaijuMonster wants all of my money.  If anyone is a fan of crazy monster toys be prepared to file for bankruptcy protection after New York Comic Con.  Just look at this lineup.  You have everyone from Max Toy Co., to Unbox Industries, to Guumon.  These are some heavy hitters and I can't wait to see the actual toys they'll have available.  

Two New Exclusives from 3DRetro Available Now

    The documentary Planet of the Apes has given us all insight into what our future holds.  Not only is it the first documentary to showcase events that have yet to happen, it's the first ever one that was brought to us courtesy of our eventual understanding of time travel.  We made some crazy advancements in technology before the monkeys took over.  That hoverboard from Back to the Future?  Yeah, we finally figured that one out too.  So we know the monkeys are gonna break out of the labs and enslave us all, so why not be prepared by putting this guy on your mantel.  That way, when they break into your house to send you to the salt mines they'll see that you were a loyal monkey revolution supporter and may choose to not throw poop at you.  SSUR designed these and this army green version is an exclusive to 3DRetro.  Get one now, and avoid getting pink eye from a flying turd to the face.

    The Octopup Revolt, as we all know, was squashed by a malnourished flock of seagulls.  Their little march onto the beach was adorable, but little did they know of the horrors that circled above their little heads.  Pity, as they would have made better leaders than those damn dirty apes.  Nathan Hamill brought some of these back to Singapore just for you, where they were an exclusive at a huge show that you couldn't go to.  Well fret not, because now you can complete your Octopup collection!!!!  All is now right in the world.  Till the monkeys get loose of course, but you knew that.

40% Off Sale from DuBose Art

    It's hard to believe that DuBose Art has only been making toys for a year, cause they have packed in a lot of stuff in that time period.  I mean a lot.  So much so in fact, that they need to clear some space.  So to celebrate their anniversary they're taking 40% off of all orders.  That's a pretty big deal.  You can get in on this only until October 1st, which is 10 days away.  Use the coupon code "whatayear" at checkout and save yourself a fat stack of cash while getting some killer custom toys.

R2-Q5 NYCC Exclusive from Kotobukiya

    Every family has that one person who was just born bad.  Most of the time that just involves someone making dumb choices that result in the police coming by every once in awhile.  Rarely does that involve trying to help the Galactic Empire defeat the Rebel Alliance and bring a reign of terror over the entire galaxy.

    R2-D2 will have to think twice about inviting his evil cousin R2-Q5 to Thanksgiving, cause he'll probably steal.  This droid is an exclusive release from Kotobukiya for New York Comic Con, though their will be some available for preorder through their website.  The ones bought at the con will come with this gold plated medallion as an extra special bonus.  Check em out at booth #1654.

NYCC Exclusive Pop! Vinyls from Funko x Fugitive Toys

    You know what's great about Pop! Vinyls?  I never feel guilty about buying them.  They're like those fun size candy bars that you keep eating cause they're small and before you know it you ate the whole bag.  Every time I see one of these guys that I want I just buy it because the price is always good and you never feel like you could have used your money for something better, like your electric bill.  

    Fugitive Toys will have three exclusives from Funko's ever popular line of figures for this year's New York Comic Con.  There will be a metallic Batman Beyond (which I need, a New 52 Nightwing, and that same Nightwing only in a metallic version.  Buy one, buy them all!  No need to hold back, because they're more affordable than buying a hot dog in the Javitts Center. 

Metal Mockbats and Anniversary Edition Luftkaisers from Paul Kaiju x Toy Art Gallery

    You wanna know what is frightening?  A House Centipede.  For those of you who were ignorant to their existence as I once was, this is what they look like:

    Our cat Icarus found on of these in the basement the other day and went nuts.  I had never seen one before and was pretty sure that this thing would crawl into my ear and eat my brain.  Turns out they don't do that, but I wasn't willing to take that chance.  So I caught him in a shoe box, took him outside, and put him on our neighbor's porch with the hopes that he would then go in his house and lay eggs in his skull.  That's what he gets for making it seem like someone is having an exorcism every time his really dumpy girlfriend spends the night.  

    Back to business.  I have no idea why I told you that story, except that if I were to go into the basement and see something flying around that looked like Paul Kaiju's Luftkaiser, I would be equally as worried.  He's not down there waiting for a a stray spider to cross his path, he wants the sweet meat. This is the Anniversary Edition made to celebrate Toy Art Gallery's fourth year in existence.  And they're only $45.  It's their birthday and we get the presents?  These are the best kind of friends to have.

    They're also debuting these new metal Mockbats from Paul Kaiju.  They have magnets in their joints so you can pose em however you want and their stomach flips down to show you their guts/make it easier for c-sections.  They come in three different colors and each one retails for $135.  All that you see here (except for the house centipede) will be available for sale tomorrow, Friday September 20th, at noon Pacific time.
