Kookie No Good from Scott Tolleson x DeKorner Releases Today!

    You'd look kinda bummed too if people wanted to crack your head open for a little piece of paper with a fortune on it.  But cheer up little guy, because it's Chinese New Year and people want to celebrate with you.  Scott Tolleson and DeKorner teamed up for this exclusive sofubi figure.  Limited to only 20 pieces, this edition will be on sale today, January 31st, at 10am Pacific time for $35.  Pick one up for yourself at http://dekorner.bigcartel.com/.  

Skull Butterfly by NooN x K. Olin Tribu

    You know what I never get tired of?  Skulls.  I could fill my house with skulls and be a happy camper.  Real skulls, plastic skulls, art skulls, your skull.  I want all the skulls!  So I am always excited to see what K. Olin Tribu is gonna do next with NooN's porcelain skull.  Well, now I know, cause this time they have adorned his brain case with butterflies.  This thing is beyond cool and I want one pretty badly.  They're limited to 50 pieces and available right now at http://www.artandtoys.com/.

Carded Labbits from Frank Kozik x Kidrobot Out Today

    Guess what day it is?  Guess what day it is?  It's Labbit Thursday!!!!!!  Sort of the same principle as taco Tuesday except you'll still be hungry after buying these.  These crazy bunnies from Frank Kozik x Kidrobot are the perfect gift for Valentine's Day or any other gift giving holiday that you feel like buying me stuff for.  And they're the bigger 2.5 inch ones just like the Marvel series and each one is only $9.99.  The question is not whether I will buy them all, but whether or not I will open them.  Frank will also have complete sets of these and his Lore of the Labbit mini series on his website tomorrow, January 31st.

Two New Sofubi Figures from Buff Monster Release Tomorrow

    I bet you all were wondering where I was today.  It was no big deal, just had to shovel some more snow like the manly man I am.  Then I had to go to work, where I don't have computer access, so my posts are a bit delayed today.  I hope you didn't miss me so much that you did anything drastic, like shave off your eyebrows or listen to a Justin Bieber song.  

   But here I am now, to tell you about these awesome little dudes that Buff Monster is releasing tomorrow (January 30th).  You could get yourself the hand painted Mister Melty bro on the left for $35 or the unpainted Zombie Mister Melty on the right for $30.  Or get them both because trying to pick just one is too hard.  They go on sale at 10am Eastern time at http://buffmonster.com/.

   

The Brewmaster Resin Kit from DuBose Art

    This sucker is pretty killer.  Used as the mascot for the Homebrew line of paints and resin dyes, The Brewmaster has been brought to life thanks to a 3D printer and a whole mess of resin.  This sucker weighs in at a full 2lbs, which doesn't seem like a lot, but is pretty solid for a toy.  DuBose Art is running a special preorder right now on unassembled kits of this nearly 8 inch tall figure.  For $50 you'll get all the pieces you need and even instructions on how to assemble him.  Then you can paint him up, or leave him like he is, which is what I would do.  The amount of detail is really impressive and makes me think the future of designer toys really does rest in the hands of the independent artists and not the big companies (there's an ongoing debate about that on Facebook as we speak).  Reinforce your shelving and then get one for yourself at http://duboseartanddesign.com/.

Rocky and Bullwinkle Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    What, no Boris and Natasha figures?  You're killing me Funko, but I'll let it slide.  At the rate that they make these Pop! Vinyl figures, I have calculated that I will have one in my likeness within the next 15 years.  It's bound to be a best seller, cause I'm sure my mom would buy them all.  But while you're waiting for my action figure in the first series of the "Heroes of Toy Blogging" line, allow these Rocky and Bullwinkle toys to keep you company.  They will be unleashed upon the world in March, sans their Russian adversaries.  

Lore of the Labbit Mini Series from Frank Kozik x Kidrobot

    I don't think there is a room in my house that doesn't contain at least one Labbit figure.  These things are seriously everywhere.  I think my wife just puts them in random places to see if I'll notice, or she could be trying to drive me insane for her own amusement.  They're in the kitchen, the living room, there's one on top of the bathroom mirror, in the pockets of my work pants.   I found one in a package of ham once.  They're kinda like roaches where in if you see one your house is probably infested.  

    But I do love these little bunnies from Frank Kozik and Kidrobot, and this may be my favorite series yet.  Based on myths and urban legends and other weird stuff that only seems to happen to hillbillies, these guys are ready to be strewn about your abode on January 30th.  Sold blind box for $4.99 each from wherever it is you prefer to buy your fancy toys.
