Dead Kozik Bust in Green from Kevin Gosselin x Suburban Vinyl

    I would think that it would have to be a weird feeling to have someone make a toy of you as a corpse.  I'm not sure my wife would want a Dead Chris bust, but that might be because I told her I was gonna haunt her if I die first.  Nothing major like Poltergeist or anything, I would just try to keep up the level of annoying stuff that I did while I was alive.  

  Kevin Gosselin has paid tribute to the future insect buffet of Frank Kozik in this limited edition bust.  Suburban Vinyl has got this exclusive green version that is limited to 50 pieces and will cost ya $200.  I think he would look lovely next to grandma's urn.  

Super Series Sunday from Tenacious Toys featuring Nerviswr3k

    My wife has a stomach made of cast iron.  Some of her favorite food in the world can be purchased from little carts that have the sanitary standards of a rest stop toilet.  

"Oh look honey, there's a man roasting some squirrel in an oil drum, let's check out his prices."

    I say that as a joke because I wouldn't actually point that out to her in case she took me seriously.  Once she ate an unwrapped mint she found in a bag of change just to gross me out.  I didn't kiss her for 6 months.  

    I would imagine she has critters like this living in her digestive system that just obliterate any germs she may ingest.  Spoiled food is like a suburban family driving through the worst part of town as it tries desperately to reprogram it's GPS.  You came to the wrong neighborhood son, and you won't be coming back.

   Nerviswr3k and We Are Not Toys made these hand painted resin critters for tomorrow's Super Series Sunday release from Tenacious Toys.  There are 12 regular figures and some chases thrown in just to make it exciting.  Get one blind box for $35 or a complete set of twelve for $350.  That's two figures free if you buy the set!!!!  They go on sale at 6pm tomorrow (December 8th) only from www.tenacioustoys.com.  

Power Rangers 20 Rangers for 20 Years at Toy Art Gallery

Tado

    Most of the time when I post about custom shows I tell you about the day it starts and then you have a month or so to view it in person.  Not this time.  You literally only have this weekend to see these giant customized Power Rangers as part of their 20th Anniversary.  Twenty different ones will be on display from 20 of your favorite artists and Bandai will have really rare Power Rangers stuff on display for you to drool over.  There will also be a pop up shop featuring tons of stuff for you to buy, including a few limited tees from Mishka.  And you can of course buy the custom toys if you like.  This all takes place at Toy Art Gallery in LA and the opening reception is tomorrow night from 7-10pm.

New Stuff from Cop A Squat Toys

    One of the things that's interesting about toy collecting is seeing what strange things become insanely popular.  Like those crazy Japanese toys that look like burn victims with contorted faces.  I never would have picked those as being something that people would fight over, let alone for $800 plus.  But people love em, even if they can't necessarily afford them.  Cop A Squat Toys was inspired by those figures when they created this NapNapNap resin dude.  This sucker glows in the dark and has a hand painted insert mapping out his circulatory system.  Only 15 of these 5.5 inch tall figures were made at the much more affordable price of $65.  You can pick one up this Saturday, December 7th, at 3pm Eastern time.  

    If you've got the toy itch right now and can't wait any longer to buy something, then you can order one of these Semi Korosiyas.  Thirteen were made and will run you $70 each.  Both figures will only be available from http://copasquattoys.bigcartel.com/.

Giant Monsters Total Combat! Solo Show from Jeff Lamm at Rivet Gallery

    Giant Monsters Total Combat! is the greatest name for an art show in the history of the world.  None of those bums that the ninja turtles were named after came up with anything that awesome.  Nope, that honor goes to Jeff Lamm for his solo show this Saturday at Rivet Gallery.  And of course the man that is famous for making monster toys is gonna have a few new releases to keep ya happy.  There will be a special edition Greasebat and Friends Gummi Playset as well as this beauty that Unbox Industries posted on their Instagram account:  

    Oooooooh, sparkly!  The opening reception will be from 7-10pm where you can meet Jeff and buy lots of cool stuff for me for Christmas.  Or your other friends, that's cool too.  

Andrew Bell x Ferg Misfortune Cat

    I love cats, I really do, but my house is at capacity.  Don't ask me to take your kittens,  don't ask me to house sit your well-behaved leopard, don't ask me to watch those SPCA commercials that make me feel like a horrible person.  We have 5 of our own little buggers and last night was the first time that really hit me.  Mostly because it was the first time they had all been gathered together, waiting for us to feed them canned food (its a treat, dry food is where it's at).  They all sat still, side by side as my wife opened the lid, and when I walked into the kitchen I almost passed out.  We're now officially crazy cat people.

    The moral of the story is that the only other cats that will come into this house will be of the plastic variety, like this Misfortune Cat from Andrew Bell and Ferg.  For $54.95 you can get this 5 inch tall kitty all decked out like a crazy demonic deity, whose favorite way to torment humans is to shove a sword through his head while he does his famous Gene Simmons impression.  Talk about an awkward guest at your next dinner party.  

    "He can't help it Frank, it's how he torments your eternal soul.  Do you want some more green bean casserole?"

     This bad kitty is available for preorder now wherever you like to buy toys.  

Yeti Dunny from Pause Designs x Kidrobot Releases Tomorrow

    And now for something completely different.  By you seeing this picture, you have officially seen more yeti than any of those stupid tv shows that try to hunt them down.  How is that even enjoyable to watch?  Oh look, some hillbillies are gonna throw snack food all over the forest, then sit around and get excited at every single noise they hear.  "Did you hear that?  Let's run really fast and make the camera all jumpy, find nothing, then go on and on about how we just missed it."  Repeat this 13 times and you have an entire season of television.  

    Pause Designs made a custom yeti for a client a few years back where they flipped a Dunny over, glued his arms to his feet, and made a terrifying snow critter.  Kidrobot liked it so much that they actually put it in to production and you can buy one tomorrow.  It's a weird design to say the least, and it's taken me some time to wrap my head around.  I applaud them for taking such a risk with their iconic Dunny platform, and I applaud them even further for making this one more affordable at $59.99.  They've been more willing to push the boundaries with sculpted details before, but this is the first time that the original figure is almost unrecognizable.  It makes me excited to see what they will do next.
