GODAI Guardians Kaiju USB Figure Kickstarter Campaign



    Think about the crazy nonsense you have on your computer.  Now consider what people would think if you up and croaked and they had nothing but time to look through said computer and discover what a little deviant you were.  My laptop is filled with things about how my wife is trying to kill me, so if I ever turn up dead under suspicious circumstances she'll be the prime suspect.  It's like the ultimate final joke you can play on a loved one really.  

    "Oh, you laughed hysterically when you replaced all the music on the iPod with Justin Bieber? Well now you're on trial for my murder."  

     She might not think it's so bad though, because she really likes Law & Order.  

    But in all seriousness, there's stuff you don't necessarily want on your computer in case it gets stolen. Like your tax documents, or those weird videos you download from that server in Russia. You gotta keep that stuff secure, and what better way to do it then on a little Kaiju USB figure.

    There's a Kickstarter campaign going on to bring these little dudes to life.  If you like the idea of your important information being stored in the skull of a cute little monster, then you need to check out the site here and help get this project funded.

Micro MADL 3D Prints from MAD Available Now!




    3D printing blows my mind and it seems like everyday someone is finding a new use for it.  The other day I read about this thing they can put around your heart and make it beat forever.  We're THIS CLOSE to technology advancing so far that it causes the zombie apocalypse and all those people with bunkers and 20 years worth of canned goods in their backyards are actually seen as being reasonable.  

    But we're not here to talk about advances in medicine or preparing for the end times; we're here to talk about toys.  Thankfully some people are still using their 3D printers for sensible means, like producing little plastic figures.  MAD has shrunk down his famous MADL figure and has been working his printer overtime to produce these dudes.  Each toy is only 35mm tall and comes bagged with a signed header card.  You can own a piece of the future for only $15 by visiting http://www.madtoystore.com/.

Autopsy Zombie Staple Baby Custom Show at Toy Art Gallery



    There are many moments I can look back on and pinpoint as those in which I knew I would marry my wife Sharon.  Like the fact that one of our first dates was spent gawking at the medical specimens that fill the Mutter Museum.  We fell in love amongst the wax models of syphilis and the eerie, cheshire grins of fetal skeletons.  But one thing I've never been a big fan of are the wet specimens; those floppy bits of tissue suspended in preserving solution.  I just imagine them breaking open and the only recourse being to burn everything that the gross liquid touches.  This goes double for the weird babies in jars, who sometimes bother me and other times I can look at with interest.  It really just depends on the mood I'm in when we happen to be at the museum.  

    I feel much the same about these Autopsy Babies from Miscreation Toys.  Some days they look interesting, others I just want to yell "KILL IT WITH FIRE".  Bizarre wouldn't even begin to describe them.  But if you're looking for a good time and the idea of plastic corpses tickles your fancy then may I suggest a trip to Toy Art Gallery this Saturday (March 8th) for their custom show featuring these little rotten tots.  The opening reception is from 7-10pm.



Marbled Resin Liliths from Death Cat Toys



     I would like to put forth a motion that all demon heads from now own be constructed of nekkid ladies.  And being that I am a cruel and evil dictator in my own little mind, the motion passes and is therefore law.  Anyone caught breaking the law will be condemned to cleaning all of the litter boxes in my house for the rest of their natural lives and longer if my amateur necromancy classes actually pay off.  I will raise your heathen butt from the dead in the name of a fresh smelling house, don't think I won't!

    I've shown you these Lilith figures from Death Cat Toys before, but never like this.  You see, they enlisted the talents of DuBose Art to create these marbled resin editions that are beyond stunning.  Only a few are left for you to purchase so you need to head over to http://Deathcattoys.bigcartel.com/ and snag one before they're gone.

Jesse Hernandez x Hydro74 Death Serpent Kidrobot Exclusive and Signing



    This dude does not look like he's down to negotiate.  If you were out in the desert trying to find yourself before you went off to college and you see something like this you can kiss your dreams of academic achievement and frat parties goodbye.  This guy wants to take your soul and put it in a used jelly jar in his basement.  Then he'll probably decorate his house with your bones to impress the ladies.  Whose souls he will also take, but that's besides the point.  This is one bad looking dude.

   Jesse Hernandez and Kuso Vinyl created the original Death Serpent figure but evidently decided he didn't look nearly menacing enough.  So they enlisted the help of Hydro74 to sprinkle some extra evil on him and this is the result.  This ghost edition of the figure is limited to 150 pieces and an exclusive to Kidrobot.  If you're lucky enough to live in the San Francisco area you can hang out with Jesse and get this toy on Saturday when he does a signing at the Kidrobot store there.  All the info you need is in the picture.  I do warn you though, that the rest of your toys may feel slightly inadequate next to this guy.  



March Releases from Cometdebris



    You know what I'm sick of?  Winter.  Are we on that Game of Thrones 8 year long Winter cycle?  It wouldn't be as bad if it would just stop snowing.  I really could do without the constant reminders of how out of shape I am and how I will never be a wrestler in the WWE.  Winter is the crusher of dreams.  

    These dudes from Cometdebris remind me of warmer weather,  with their bright colors and smiling faces.  And I deserve a treat for freeing our vehicles from their icy tombs.  On multiple occasions. 

    All three of these guys will be available this Saturday, March 8th, at 8pm Pacific time from http://www.cometdebris.com/.
