Glow In the Dark Sinners from Seriously Silly K Release Tomorrow

    If the Discovery Channel still aired shows that were informative, and not just crap about people never finding gold, or that Amish Mafia nonsense (really, as soon as they open their mouths I can't help but laugh, so who are they scaring?)  then you would know that all goats listen to metal.  It's proven fact, you can go and ask Sir David Attenborough, whose controversial documentary "Head Banging Farm Animals" is hard to find, but highly informative.  

    Seriously Silly K didn't invent goats, or heavy metal, but she did create a stunning tribute to both in her Sinner figures.  Word has it she won't be making too many more of these, and once the head mold breaks, she plans to retire it.  So you better get on the ball tomorrow when she releases these limited glow in the dark versions.  You can sit them next to you in the dark while you listen to your Judas Priest records backwards to learn Rob Halford's secret pumpkin pie recipe.

Peter Kato to Release New Figures Tonight!

    We are now only 1 week away from Thanksgiving, which means Christmas is hiding around the corner ready to ambush us.  I used to make fun of people who waited until the last minute to shop, cause it's not like you don't know it's coming,  but now that I don't work retail and I'm not bombarded by the holidays it's been much easier to slack off and become a last minute shopper.  But forget waiting in line at Wal Mart for hours to buy the people on your list something crappy that they won't even take out of the box and will forget about until years later when they get ready to move and decide to hide it in the attic for the next tenant to find.  Give em something nice, something that was made with love.  And plastic. 

    Peter Kato will be releasing some new figures tonight just in time for you to buy for your favorite toy collector.  And everything you see it ridiculously affordable.  Priced from $10-$15, these little guys are extremely limited, so keep an eye on http://peterkatoshop.com/ for the moment they go on sale tonight.  

Resin Ludwig Busts from Frank Kozik

    The worst thing about being a tiny piano collector is trying to find things to put on top of them to add a sense of the dramatic.  I would guess, as I don't have any tiny pianos, nor do I know anyone that does.  But if I were to have tiny pianos, I would want these Ludwig busts from Frank Kozik to adorn them.  Ol Ludwig gets the Clockwork Orange treatment in these 4 inch resin creations that come in both clear and...orange.  I said orange twice in that sentence, which drives me mad.  Of course I could have corrected it, but instead I will complain about it, thus giving you more to read.  Both are editions of 50 and will cost you $40 each, but that is a small price to pay to be able to decorate your tiny or regular sized piano with the watchful eyes of inspiration.  Pick em up at www.frankkozik.net.

Meet The New Interns

    So we've had two new additions to our family, which has really monopolized most of my free time.  The little dude you see above is Jorah, and the cute little lady down below is Daenerys.  So yeah, as the names indicate, we're Game of Thrones nerds, plus we needed names that had the same fanciness as Wednesday, Ophelia, and Icarus.  You can't just name em Ted and Sally when you've set the bar that high.  Thus far they have been confined to one portion of the house, so they have yet to discover all the crazy toys we have laying around.  I wonder what they're gonna think of all of it.  I know whenever we have people over you can see them constantly glancing around, trying to determine what illness we could have to make us want to live in Pee Wee's Playhouse.  That or they're trying to figure out the weakness in our security and rob us blind.  Who's to say.  Hopefully these new cats are better at typing than our other ones, so I can just dictate these blog posts to them and they can handle the rest.  I do pick up their poops, so I don't think it's asking a lot in return.  And it would really preserve the stream of consciousness vibe that I sometimes lose cause my typing ability is best described as "haphazard."  Can you tell that it's a slow time of year for toy news?

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.
