Shipwreck Edition Octopups from Nathan Hamill

    People keep making different breeds of dogs do the deed to create new, sometimes weird, looking hybrids.  Yeah, it's kinda fun at first creating designer mutts I suppose, but that's old hat.  It's time to impress me folks and cross breed dogs with different animals.  Sure it's not as easy as putting a dude and a lady dog in a room with a Barry White cd, some scented candles, and letting nature take it's course, but that's what science is there for.  We may in fact regret making German Shephards with tentacles, but we won't know until we try and imagine the fun we'll have along the way.

    Nathan Hamill has already predicted the future of dog breeding with his Octopup toys.  This is the Shipwreck edition featuring copper spray on translucent green bodies.  Only 7 were made and they will be up for sale tomorrow, January 16th, at noon Pacific time for $25.

Eternal Cloud from Restore Now Available to Preorder from Lulubell Toy Bodega

    This might be one of the most impressive figures I've ever laid eyes on in person.  I saw the unpainted prototype at New York Comic Con last year and this thing is AMAZING.  Restore makes some of the best toys you'll ever see and they really upped their game on this one.  This sucker contains 15 different parts made of both Japanese sofubi and resin to create the new centerpiece of your collection.  Lulubell Toy Bodega is offering preorders of this from now until January 30th.  It's retailing for $120, which is not much at all when you compare it to toys half its size and half as detailed that cost just as much.  Plus, you're getting your tax money back soon, so splurge a bit.  

Mochi The Monkey Ninja Kickstarter

    I get a lot of emails from people asking me to share the toys that they make.  Surprisingly enough, I get a lot about kid's toys, which is weird because if they'd even looked at this site they would know that I like to use very "colorful" anecdotes when talking about toys.  I don't think Fisher-Price really wants me talking about their new crap for your toddler while also talking about guns or dead hookers.  And there is always the chance that I will talk about guns or dead hookers because that's the kind of guy I am.  I don't like to limit myself to the topics of conversation on the Disney Channel.  I need to express myself, and sometimes that comes in the form of a heroin overdose story, or that time I found a dead guy in Philadelphia.  

    Bendable monkey ninjas aren't the normal thing I write about, but I do love monkeys and ninja monkeys sound pretty awesome, so I was starting to lean in favor of this new product.  Then they told me they liked my cats and I was sold, because they actually have viewed this site and new the dangers (i.e. the entire first paragraph) of me writing about their stuff.  

    Kacha Torn is a dude from Thailand who has created the aforementioned bendable monkey ninja named Mochi.  He has launched a Kickstarter page to help get his project funded and it's the most straightforward campaign I've ever seen.  You basically just preorder the figure and when he gets enough it will go into production.  Check it out for yourself by clicking here.

New Releases This Week from Super7

    I've been off from work now for the past three days, which sounds awesome, but my days have been wasted by being sick.  My sinuses are out to kill me by filling every conceivable space in my head with snot until my skull explodes and they have finally won.  Sounds like a bad way to go to me.

   Crystal Mecha never has to worry about that happening, because he has a giant diamond for a head.  How he sees, or eats, or annoys people with jokes they've already heard is hard to say, but at least he will never know the slow moving hell that is a sinus infection.  

   Foster looks liek he's past the point of caring about whatever illness may infect his little cookie body, as he steadily devours himself and grins like a cheshire cat.  What a twisted little dude.  I bet he's killed before.  

    Both toys are new releases from Super7 that will be available this Thursday, January 16th, at noon Pacific time from www.super7store.com.

Super Series Sunday from Tenacious Toys Featuring Forces of Dorkness

    How come we don't get to vote or run for Pope?  I think I would make an excellent candidate because I have never taken any naked pictures or done anything else scandalous that would taint my campaign.  I've never caused a traffic jam at the George Washington bridge out of spite, and I don't even know where to buy crack.  Now as far as my other qualifications go I'm not entirely sure what's relevant because I'm not sure what the Pope does other than ride around in his bubble car and make people kiss his ring.  Really, I just want to be able to go shopping at Target while I wear the hat.  

   Tomorrow is not only Sunday, but it's Super Series Sunday at Tenacious Toys.  This time they are featuring Pope Solo from Forces of Dorkness that will finish of his religion-themed Star Wars figures.  Fifteen white figures and fifteen black figures were made and will be sold blind bagged for $40 each when they go on sale tomorrow (January 12) at 6pm Eastern time on www.tenacioustoys.com.

The Simpsons x Lego

    When I see new licensed sets from Lego I always get excited.  Not necessarily for the set itself, but for the other possible things that they should make.  This Simpsons house is cool and all, but I have a list of things I would love to build.  These are in no particular order:

    Sons of Anarchy, Clash of the Titans (the original of course, not that dumb remake), Breaking Bad, He-Man, Game of Thrones, American Horror Story, the Winchester Mystery House, Graceland, Coney Island, 1980's Time Square, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog rollin in a 6-4, The Dukes of Hazard, etc. etc.  

    So if anyone from Lego is reading this, that is my wish list.  For everyone else, The Simpsons house will release in February.
