More NYCC Exclusives from Tenacious Toys



    The great thing about someone being covered in blood is that it's pretty obvious you should keep your distance, and not just for sanitary reasons.  If you're ever on public transportation and someone is covered in blood it is perfectly acceptable to get up and put yourself at a good distance from them.  Also, if you see a man pooping on the subway platform (this actually happened, I know it sounds crazy, but I wouldn't lie to you) it is acceptable to wait for him to get on the train first and then run to get 3 cars ahead of him.  Reason 1:  It's not gonna be pleasant for your nose.  Reason 2:  Anyone who drops their pants to poop in public is capable of murdering you.  Which would leave him covered in blood.  See, I brought it back around.

    Tenacious Toys has a booth the size of a city block at this year's New York Comic Con, and have filled it with exclusives galore.  Like this Bloody Lurker from Erick Scarecrow and Frombie.  They are limited to only 7 pieces and will be $75 each.  







    You know what I love?  Bundle packs.  I'm not even kidding here.  How in the sweet hell has no one done this before?  Maybe they have, I dunno know.  I'm not like the Eye of Sauron, so sometimes I miss things.  But this is genius.  JC Rivera's Bearchamp from Pobber Toys is paired up with the same design on an Outsmart Originals t-shirt all for only $100.  There will be 50 sets available to purchase and hopefully this is the start of the bundle pack revolution.  


    I was kicking myself the whole way home last year for not buying one of these Manotaurs from Rampage Toys.  But the toy gods have smiled upon me and I will be given a chance for redemption next week.  There will also be some Ugly Unicorns available.  Take that Lisa Frank, not all unicorns are covered in rainbows and glitter.

Suburban Vinyl Reveals More NYCC Exclusives



    There's so much cool stuff coming out for New York Comic Con and this year it really seems to be all about the smaller toy manufacturers.  These are people working hard at their art in between their day jobs and other responsibilities and it's great to see people like Suburban Vinyl supporting them by giving them such prominence at their booth.  

    Ministry of Kongz has been making some pretty cool toys based on Thai mythical creatures for soem time now, but check out these versions painted by Topheroy.  The Kruzzilla figures you see above are gonna be $40 each, while those insane Yakonimon figures you see below will be $70.  What you see pictured is all that will be available.  






    Check out this Bunny Boom Boom from JFury.  He's cast in Mountain Dew green resin, limited to 10 pieces, and will be $65.  On a side note, I am not allowed to drink Mountain Dew because all of the caffeine makes it impossible for me to shut up.  I swear there's something more sinister going on in that soda.



    And why not start a little bunny theme?  This is Philipe from Juan Muniz.  He's limited to 10 pieces and  priced at $30.  This guy has had his art featured in this season's The Ultimate Fighter house, so he probably picked up some deadly moves while he was there hanging his stuff.  I'm not trying to get choked out.  



Even More NYCC Exclusives from myplasticheart



    My wife is losing her mind over these.  As I've told you before, she crochets, so she gets really excited when she sees anyone under the age of 150 doing something cool with the craft she loves.  Her future best friend Leesasaur has teamed up with Abe Lincoln Jr. for these Denbu figures.  Only 6 of each design were handmade with love.  And yarn, cause yarn is the most important part actually.




    Glop In a Box is a very descriptive name for this toy.  It's exactly what you get:  this big, green melty dude stuffed into a wooden crate.  That's called truth in advertising folks.  Andrew Bell is the man behind this toy and you can buy one from him directly for $120 when he makes an appearance on Saturday.  



    There's not one but TWO exclusive kitty releases this year?  Are you appealing to directly to me you clever folks?  The first one is this Negora from Konatsu.  This black kitty has some wacky mismatched eyes and can be yours for $35.  


    This next plastic feline comes to you courtesy of Chris Ryniak and Ferg.  He looks like he might be having a bad day.  Not only did he drive a sword through his own head, but he seems to be radioactive.  Hopefully he's only on life 5 or 6, cause this is gonna take some effort to recover from.  For $55 you can bring him home and use him to light the path to your bathroom at night.  




    Oooooooh, I dig this guy.  This is Mad's Modern Hero figure living out his Skeletor cosplay fantasy.  I'm digging this guy and I have a strong feeling he may be making the ride back to New Jersey with me.  $65 will get you one of your own so you don't have to touch mine.  I'm kinda weird about that.

Get these and tons more at the myplasticheart booth #113 at New York Comic Con.

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.

Fortune Teller from Paul Shih Releases Today!!!



    Paul Shih is the master at taking food stuffs and making cute little figures out of them.  He's already conquered sushi and broccoli and now he has turned his attention to fortune cookies.  Check this little dude out.  He's all chillin with his little mustache, thinking about the fortune that he has inside him just for you.  No, he really does have a fortune inside him, I'm not even making that up.  Only 20 of this all-knowing little cookie were made and they go on sale today (September 30th) at 1pm Pacific time for $45 each.  

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.
