Monoclon from Cojica Toys x Lulubell Toy Bodega



    I happen to know somebody who thinks dinosaurs never existed.  I can't even remember how such a topic was brought up, but she just flat out doesn't believe they were ever real.  I've never heard anyone say this before, so I asked her why she felt this way.  She proceeded to tell me that she doesn't believe they were ever real, and I quote, because "they are just too big."  That's it.  No religious, or scientific reason.  Not even something that was suggested by Kanye West.  Nope, just that they would be "too big."  Oh, and the groundhog we have that lives outside might be an armadillo (in New Jersey), except for the fact that they're extinct. Her wealth of knowledge about our natural world knows no bounds.  

    But who really cares if dinosaurs never lived due to size limitations, cause they still make cool toys.  Like this Monoclon dude from Cojica Toys.  On December 1st you'll be able to own one for yourself when they go on sale through Lulubell Toy Bodega at noon Pacific time.

"Swamp Zombie" Bones from Mike Egan Releases Black Friday



    Black Friday has always sounded like a great premise for a horror movie.  Think about it:  you have tons of people out shopping in what is supposed to be a happy time of year.  The last thing they are thinking about is for some masked madman to come ripping through there with a chainsaw and turning Black Friday RED!  If you read that last part like guy with the really deep voice who does all the movie trailers you would totally give me all your money so I could make this film cause it sounds that good.  There's trailers full of money to be made Hollywood, so let's do this.  And I swear to God if someone does it and I don't get credit I'm gonna sue the living crap out of everyone.  And by credit I mean a UHaul truck full of cash.  

    Mike Egan obviously gets how awesome it would be to see a thousand people trapped in Wal-Mart with some murderous beast.  How could he not when he is releasing his Swamp Zombie editions of his Bones figure on Black Friday?  Hell, a few of these guys could be the evil that has befallen the bargain shoppers.  I'd watch that.  

    He hand painted 25 of these dudes and they come with their own coffin for when they wanna nap.  $150 will get you one when they go on sale at 12am Eastern time at http://mikeegan.bigcartel.com.

Nathan Hamill's Black Friday Sale



    Oh, Black Friday.  That wonderful day of the year when people trample each other to death at Wal-Marts all over the country trying to get a $100 laptop for their kids.  How on earth this is not an official holiday is beyond me.  They should call it Darwin's Day, and we'll celebrate the cleansing of the gene pool by watching all day marathons of James Bond cause they can't fit every movie into Thanksgiving, there's just too many and I always miss my favorite ones cause they don't play them in order.  

    Nathan Hamill wants you to stay safe from the violent hordes of bargain shoppers by offering a sale on his website.  And it last a whole week!  You just have to use the code "HAMILLHOLIDAY" to save 25% off your order from November 29th - December 7th.

Lilith from Death Cat Toys



    This toy is called Lilith.  It is a nekkid lady contorted to form a demon's head.  I imagine that people who use LSD and end up in psych wards see stuff like this and it drives them over the edge.  These are the creation of a tattoo artist by the name of Johan who works under the label Death Cat Toys.  The only way to buy one is to email him at xjbubloodx@aol.com.  It's all kind of clandestine, like you're an international toy buyer who only collects rare pieces from the black market.  I need to get out more.  

Minty Fresh Exclusive Mono Deathshead S'murk from David Flores x Blackbook Toys



    Don't worry, this S'murk doesn't actually have mono, it's referring to the paint scheme.  There's already enough places in the world that you can get diseases and thankfully toys are not one of them.  There's public bathrooms, sketchy deli meats, your mom: the list goes on and on.  

    This little guy was made by David Flores and Blackbook Toys and is an exclusive to Minty Fresh.  Only 50 pieces were made and they are available right now at http://www.mintyfresh.eu/.

Sons of Anarchy Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko



    Before we get started here, if you haven't watched the latest episode of Sons of Anarchy you might want to stop reading right now, cause I'm gonna spoil the crap out of it for you.  Not that I will feel bad about it mind you, because your butt should have been firmly planted on your couch Tuesday night and watching it.  What were you doing instead?  Were you out with your knitting group, making blankies for your mamas?  

    Now that we got that out of the way, HOLY CRAP I NEED EVERY ONE OF THESE!  Funko has outdone itself with these Sons of Anarchy Pop! Vinyl figures.  These are just the first of hopefully many to come, as there are so many variations they could do.  They could make Clay as a glowing ghost like at the end of Return of the Jedi, or prison love Otto, or they could make a two pack of dead hookers so you can set up authentic dioramas based on scenes from the show.  The possibilities are endless my friends.  They come out on January 7th, which is approximately the date I will stop crying after this season ends.
