Star Wars Series 4 Pop! Vinyls from Funko

    The highlight of these new Star Wars Pop! Vinyl figures from Funko has to be Admiral Ackbar.  I would carry that dude around with me everywhere, warning people about the danger of traps. 

    I can hide him behind stuff at work and whenever anyone asks me a question I'll pop his head up and yell "It's a Trap!"  This will probably get old real fast for everyone but me.  

    Or I could just use Lando and one of my wife's dolls and reenact Colt 45 commercials.  How has no one hired me yet in Hollywood?  I'm full of ideas like this.  

    These will all be available at the end of the month.  

Moving Sale from We Become Monsters

    Moving sucks.  I hate doing it.  The last time we moved we got our mattress stuck on the stairs trying to get it to the second floor.  We tried everything to move that sucker, and I even bought ratchet straps and folded it up like a taco.  After about an hour of trying to move it we just decided that sleeping on the stairs at a weird angle probably wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.  Then something came over me.  Maybe it was the "eye of the tiger" or the fact that we had to get the U-Haul back before they charged us more money, but I got underneath it and just bulldozed that S.O.B. up the steps and into the bedroom.  That would have been a good moment to die in my wife's arms, my last wish only for her to sleep in comfort.  I could have been a legend.

    So help We Become Monsters lighten his load, cause there is nothing about moving that is cool.

Void Man from Scarecrowoven x The Mark Ultra for NYCC

    It blows my mind that not only are people making their own action figures at home but that they make carded figures.   How cool is this?  Here's a hint:  it's real cool.  This is void man and he is a collaboration between Scarecrowoven and The Mark Ultra.  Now pay special attention to these release details here:  There are 22 figures in total, 10 in black, 10 in pink and 2 variants.  Twelve of these suckers will be available from Scarecrowoven at New York Comic Con, while the other 10 will be available from The Mark Ultra at http://themarkultra.bigcartel.com/ on Friday October the 11th at 10pm for you non con attendees.  

Judge Dredd Customs from Jon-Paul Kaiser

 

I just watched the new Judge Dredd movie the other night and it wasn't that bad. Most of it was pretty entertaining, except for the fact of how ugly they made Lena Headey. I didn't think that was possible and whoever it was that did her makeup should win a Nobel Prize or something. Or be put to death, cause they totally managed to ruin the excitement I felt when I found out she was in it. She's a stone cold fox.

 

Jon-Paul Kaiser just made these Judge Dredd customs for a lucky collector and the amount of detail in them is unreal. Take a gander at them and then hit him up to make you a toy that will put the rest of your collection to shame.

 

More NYCC Exclusives from Tenacious Toys

    I could really go for a Slurpee right about now.  I looooooove Slurpees, but only the Coke ones.  I'm not very flavor adventurous and the Coke one is so good that I have never in all my years on this earth felt the need to deviate.  I did have a dream last night that they made whiskey Slurpees and I tried one and became an alcoholic.  See what happens when you try new things.  You end up in rehab.  

    New York Comic Con is on the horizon my friends and that means I'm gonna tell you about more exclusive stuff.  This batch will all be featured at the Tenacious Toys booth #208.  Sippy Shortstraw from UME Toys has kickstarted my Slurpee craving this morning.  Just look how happy he is.  It's probably cause his beverage is carbonated and the bubbles tickle.  Or he farted.  Carbonation will do that to ya.  This little resin guy will be $40.

    This guy isn't looking happy at all.  Maybe because he's got a case of the undeads.  Soko Cat made these Zombie Candy Corns that look like how I feel if I eat to many candy corns.  I'm not good at candy.  I'll buy a bag of candy, eat two of them, and then not want candy anymore for 6 months at which time what I bought has now gone bad.  I know, I know, "first world problems".  These will be $45.

     This is the physical manifestation of how most people feel about the Ewoks.  Still not as annoying as Jar Jar Binks by any means, but people really do hate them.  I can't remember feeling one way or another about them when I saw Return of the Jedi for the first time.  I was so mesmerized by the fact that they showed Darth Vader's face that there could have been an army of Barbie dolls that helped overthrow the Empire and I might not have cared.  These guys from Killer Bootlegs are pretty cool though, and proof that Endor was a rampant breeding ground for rabies.  

More NYCC Exclusives from Suburban Vinyl

    These guys remind me of a show I watched on Discovery Channel about the Humboldt Squid that are freakin huge and will literally kill you.  People fall into the water sometimes when they're fishing at night and the squid get all happy cause it's like "hey free fish"  then they decided to taste the fishermen and they were like "hey, not too bad" so they eat them too.  They're also known as diablo rojo and I make it a point to not mess with anything with diablo in its name.  The fact that I'm not dead proves that this is a sound philosophy.  Respect the science.

    You wanna see more New York Comic Con exclusives?  (if you pretend that Paul Stanley from Kiss is asking that to a crowd it sounds really cool)  Well, how about some more stuff that Suburban Vinyl is gonna bring with them?  Like these Minions of Dorkness from Scott Kinnebrew (aka Forces of Dorkness).  There's a total of twelve sets of each style of these tentacled bros and they're held together with magnets, so you can swap heads all day long.  They're gonna be $30 each and you can pick whichever ones you want; none of that blind box stuff here.  

    You may or may not know that I love cats.  I only talk about them so much that sometimes I wonder if its overboard.  Then I think screw that cause they're freakin adorable and do it anyway.  I believe the kids would call that YOLO or something.  I dunno, I'm old and cranky.  Mark Nagata from Max Toy Co. has created the most limited edition figure for the entire convention.  It could only be more limited if it didn't exist, cause he only made one of these bad boys.  That's right, there's only one.  And it's $175.  And if you buy him you have to hold him up to the sun like Simba from the Lion King and watch as every other collector's eyes get really wide with envy.  Get all this at more at booth #208.
