Alex Pardee's Bunnywith Affinity for Slave Women Exclusive for Rivet Gallery



    Ooooooooooh sparkly!!!!  By now you've all seen Alex Pardee's tribute to one Jabba the Hut with his ever popular Bunnywith figure, but you have yet to see one so FABULOUS (imagine my voice rising a few octaves when I typed that).  Rivet Gallery is the only place you can get this exclusive clear purple figure with little metal flakes strewn throughout.  Doesn't he look like he just had the best time at the Lady Gaga show?  These go on sale at noon today at Rivet's brick and mortar store and online at http://rivetart.com/.

Designer Con Exclusives from DeKorner Available Online Now



    Designer Con has come and gone but there's still exclusive stuff you can buy even if you weren't able to be there in person.  DeKorner has some killer toys available on their website right now, like this yellow Bunnywith from Alex Pardee.



Or this yellow and purple reticulated dice set from Carson Caitlin.



How about an Evil Smurk from David Flores?



Or get a bunch of little dudes in this yellow OMFG series 3 set. 


I've actually neglected to say anything of nonsensical value in this post.  I must be getting sick.

Horror Movie Pop! Vinyls from Funko





    I know Halloween just passed, but for any of you just starting your Christmas shopping (me) the horror continues well into December.  I have some vague ideas of what I plan to get my wife, but so far I haven't acted on them yet.  Usually I'm well ahead of the game and pretty much done by now, but this year I've slacked a bit.  I'm trying to add more mental danger to the holidays, or something.

    On November 12th Funko is releasing a new round of horror movie themed Pop! Vinyls.  I am so addicted to these things it's not even funny.  We went to Barnes and Noble the other day and I scored the classic Batman and Catwoman figures for only $8.95 each.  They're great spur of the moment purchases to help you get that plastic fix.  You know the one I'm talking about; where you're on the internet, browsing all the cool stuff you want but know you shouldn't spend your whole paycheck on.

Bad Juju Brands at Designer Con



  
    Normally, I'm an avoider of anything that might contain bad juju.  Monkey paws, voodoo, Miley Cyrus albums; the list is pretty extensive.  It's served me well as I have yet to be possessed by any evil entities, other than that time I ate at Golden Corral's buffet and it felt like were trying to escape me sideways.  I don't care how affordable that food is, don't eat there unless you have a priest and a port-a-potty next to you at all times.  

    Bad Juju Brands is out to change how I feel about those two little words that invoke caution of supernatural proportions.  Like everyone else in the world but me, they'll be at Designer Con this weekend with a ton of exclusive stuff that you're gonna want.  Let me tell you about two of my favorites.

    Numero Uno:  The Orange Dripple resin figure from Sket One.  You know resin is looking good when you wonder what it tastes like, cause that sucker looks like candy.  Now I don't recommend you go around liking your toys because for one you'll look like a crazy person, and for two they might be toxic.  But hey, who am I to stop you from having a good time?  They made 100 of these little dudes strictly for admiring with your eyes and not your mouth.

    Numero Dos:  The Clear Blue Calaverita by The Beast Brothers.  Anytime I see anything in clear blue from now until the end of my days all I will be able to think about is Breaking Bad.  It's infected my blood.  Don't try and smoke this skull though for the same reasons I already listed above.  Only 30 of them were made so be quick about it if you want one.  

Get these and more at booth #101.

oddFAUNA at Designer Con



    There are many mysteries in the world.  Are ghosts real?  Will we ever capture the Loch Ness Monster?  Will the Kardashians ever go extinct (please)?  Mysteries are abound in the toy world as well.  I have a list of people that I can't believe larger companies haven't made deals with yet to produce their work and oddFAUNA is at the top.  Look how awesome these little dudes are, and she makes them all herself.  Emma SanCartier is the woman behind these critters and the only way to get one for yourself is directly from her.  She will be appearing at this weekend's Designer Con so if you're lucky enough to be going you should stop by and check out her work at booth #706.  Here are more of the things she will have available.  



    I'm loving this little wolf guy.  Tell me that wouldn't look amazing in Japanese sofubi.  I wish I had the funds to make it happen.

Art Attack Toys Exclusive "Mutant B" Edition Bad Ass from Kronk x Pobber Toys for Designer Con



    Monkeys are tricky.  You see em sitting around, looking all cute and stuff like little fuzzy people and then BAM, they rip your arms off and beat you to death with your bloody limbs.  Finally, there is a giant monkey that is advertising the fact that he is mean and will kill you.

    You've seen this dud before but never like this.  This is Bad Ass from Kronk x Pobber Toys and he is featured here in a special Mutant B edition.  He is an exclusive for Art Attack Toys and they will have him for sale at this weekend's Designer Con.  Only 50 of them exist and you can snag one at booth # 806.  

3DRetro Exclusives for Designer Con



    If the lights happen to go out at Designer Con, signaling the fact that North Korea has finally invaded us, then the 3DRetro booth will be the safest place to run to, as their whole booth is gonna glow like Three Mile Island.

    First up, we have the special glowy MoonSHINE Edition of Scott Tolleson's Bitta Critta.  Little known fact about me:  I'm not actually from New Jersey, I just live here now.  I actually grew up in Virginia, and whenever anyone learns that they all want to know a.) do I watch those moonshine shows on tv and b.) can I help them make some.  The answer to both of those questions is surprisingly no, though the second one does sound exciting.  I could be the Walter White of New Jersey party juice.  The figure will be $50, while hiring me to build you a still will be substantially more as soon as I Google how to do it.  

  Get all this and more at booth #104. (That was meant to be sung, like a jingle)


    Also something that may come as a shock to you is that I don't have any good stories involving bats or human skulls.  I do get a kick out of the giant fruit bats at the Philadelphia Zoo, as they look like foxes with wings.  That is cute and also horrifying at the same time, because what if foxes learned how to fly?  And then the coyotes would learn, and the wolves, and we would be getting dive bombed by predatory mammals on a daily basis.  And you think getting pooped on by a bird is bad, a wolf poop dropped from high enough could probably give you a concussion.  

    This is of course Strife and Sire from Nathan Hamill.  These two guys glow too and are also $50.  I'm detecting a distinct theme here.  Nathan will also have prints available that he collaborated on with Pronto Pixel for $30 that are ready to snazz up your living space.
