Beavis and Butthead Pop! Vinyl from Funko



    I was barely a teenager when Beavis and Butthead first aired on MTV, and those lucky enough to be around my nerdy friends and I were subjected to our terrible impressions of them any moment we got the chance.  For some reason, girls did not flock to our lunch table in the numbers you would expect.  Unless you expected zero, then it was almost like you were there.

    We could all learn a lot from Beavis and Butthead, and their simple way of viewing life.  Either something sucked or it was awesome.  It's the same philosophy I use when deciding what to write about on this very site.  Needless to say, these Pop! Vinyl figures from Funko do not suck, and conveniently enough they will be released the day before Christmas in case you still don't know what to get me.

Breaking Bad Challenge Coins from Mezco




     Breaking Bad is the best show ever in the history of tv so just stop watching tv if you've already seen it because nothing will compare to it and you'll be sad and constantly wonder what Walter White would have done in every show.  You'll be watching Project Runway and Heidi Klum will send someone home, and you imagine Walt looking at her with all seriousness as he says "I'm the one who auf wiedersehens" and pulls something from his pocket and blows the place to hell.  I just made that show a thousand times better.

    When they were filming Breaking Bad the producers would give out challenge coins at the end of each season to reward the cast and crew.  Mezco has taken that idea and made some that you don't actually have to mortgage your house to afford.  There are only 4 designs left (one sold out pretty quickly) and they are being sold exclusively through 3 different retailers.  The pink bear is an exclusive to Fugitive Toys,  the car wash one is sold through Big Bad Toy Store, and the Saul Goodman and chicken joint coins are available from Vegas Dead Dolls.  Get em quick or be sad forever.

The B.A.S.T.A.R.D. Shop from Triclops Studios Opens Tomorrow!!!!




    The internet is tricky.  Websites don't make themselves, and they involve lots of random numbers and letters that make absolutely no sense to me but when strung together allow you to see cats doing funny things.  Most likely the internet runs off of black magic.  It took Triclops a while to get the new website for their B.A.S.T.A.R.D. mini figures up and running, probably because they had to obtain some ancient relics for their internet necromancer to get the shopping cart feature to work.  They're so picky about the quality of their monkey paws and rat tongues.  

    But tomorrow you may rejoice at the fact that you can now get all these wacky little mini figures that your heart desires in one convenient place:  http://bastardshop.bigcartel.com/.  They've got a special release planned for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so keep your eyes peeled.  Not literally though, it would freak children out if you couldn't blink.  

Mini-Cheestroyer Kickstarter Campaign from Bad Teeth and Double Haunt


    I get a lot of emails.  Usually they are for things like car insurance, male enhancement pills, and stuff that princes in Nigeria send asking me to help them get their money out of the country while making me incredibly rich.  But I received one today promising me a toy that had everything I could ever want.  Oh yeah?  That's a lofty promise my friend as I.....ooooooh look, he has a tentacle arm.  SOLD!  

    Evidently Bad Teeth and Double Haunt do know exactly what I want in a toy because they have turned me on to this creation of theirs.  The Mini-Cheestroyer is a hybrid, cheeseburger-headed, monster thing that is sure to raise your bad cholesterol ad he destroys your city.  This is what happens immediately after you digest a McDonald's hamburger.  It reforms into a terrible beast hell bent on making your intestines it's prison wife.  

     As with all Kickstarters there are tons of bonus and exclusive things you can get depending on your level of pledge.  They have a comic book, resin and vinyl figures, and hand painted one-offs.  It's a cool little toy, reasonably priced, and deserves to be in production.  Help them out by clicking here

Retro Outlaw Moving Sale Starts Tonight



    Moving sucks.  It's like some sick form of torture to prove to you how much useless stuff you have.  The last time we moved I thought about just throwing everything out and starting fresh, just so I didn't have to box it up and load it onto a truck.  I've moved a lot in my life and I've just kept a lot of things in boxes because it's too much work to unpack it.  One day I'll have a great time digging through it all and trying to remember where it came from.  

    Retro Outlaw is moving to a new studio and need your help to lighten their load.  Starting tonight they're gonna have a 5 day long sale that will include their uber popular Evel Fett figures for only $100 each, $10 t-shirts, and a bunch of other discounted things you're gonna beg your momma to buy you.  And every purchase over $50 gets entered to win a special 1 off Evel Fett in Carbonite:


Check it out later tonight at http://retrooutlaw.com/.

Two Much! Special Edition Kits from Dirty Donny



    I used to try and build models as a kid.  Well, I tried once actually to put a Dodge Viper together and ended up glueing most of the small parts to my hands.  In the end, the car kinda sagged in the middle, the tires didn't roll right, and the engine didn't have all of the necessary pieces you would need in real life to make it work.  It was a hooptie.  As I've gotten older I've kind of wanted to give it a try again and this would be exactly where I would want to start.

    Look at this pile of loot from Dirty Donny.  Not only do you get a sweet monster model kit from AMT in the package (signed on the box), but you get an air brushed tote bag, a record he compiled and released himself that has long sold out, and a ton of other goodies all for only $100.  If you wanna get one of these you gotta act fast and email dirtydonny@gmail.com to get one.  And this is only for US residents, so make some American friends real quick if you live elsewhere.

Kronk x Pobber Toys Bad Ass "Snowflake" Edition for Minty Fresh




    This is my favorite colorway of the Bad Ass figure from Kronk and Pobber Toys.  Maybe it's because I like the winter and this dude totally looks like an abominable snowman.  Or maybe it's because it's the "Snowflake" edition and he looks like he is serving 25-life on a murder conviction.  The name "Snowflake" will never have the innocence of a small puppy dog anymore. 

     This convict-looking monkey is limited to only 50 pieces and is an exclusive to everyone's favorite designer toy store in the Netherlands, Minty Fresh.  He goes on sale tomorrow and you can check out the handy time zone listing for your part of the world in the picture up there.  Ain't it nice when things are easy.
