Amazon Exclusive Game of Thrones Bundle Packs from Funko

    I would like to firmly smack the person that scheduled the season premier of Game of Thrones at the exact same time as Wrestlemania.  I hate having to make decisions like that about what I'm going to watch, and in the end Wrestlemania won out.  Because if I didn't watch wrasslin last night the internet would have spoiled it for me and I wouldn't be able to watch RAW tonight because that would have spoiled it for me.  I'm hoping that those of you who watched Game of Thrones will be kind and keep it to yourself until the rest of us catch up.  Please and thank you.  But holy crap if you watched WWE like I did you're probably half pissed/half excited this morning.  I'm not gonna ruin it for you in case you didn't see it, but it was pretty surprising.  

    To celebrate the return of Game of Thrones (which I missed) Funko has created these two bundle packs that are exclusive to Amazon.com.  You get a t-shirt, a figure from the show, and a keychain of said figure.  The Daenerys Targaryen figure is brand spanking new and since we named one of our cats after her I'm gonna have to get one.  These will ship out at the end of May but are up for preorder now.

Platform A OpenSource 2.0 from alto for ToyCon UK

    Generally, it is frowned upon if you take someone else's work, mass produce it, and make tons of money.  But if you buy the design outright, it is yours to do with as you please.  alto is giving you a chance to start your own toy line or just have something cool and rare to look at with his OpenSource 2.0 figure.  Entitled "Platform A", there is only one of these in existence in the whole world and if you buy it you are also buying the rights to do with it as you please.  Make a million of them, or just keep it locked away in your toy hoard.  The choice is yours and for £100GBP, I can almost guarantee that someone is going to be quick to snatch this up when it's made available at ToyCon UK.  Start your own factory and put those annoying neighbor kids to work!

Midnight Hunter Berserker from Mutant Vinyl Hardcore

    They should make you take a test to ensure you're man enough to own a toy like this.  May I suggest some questions in case that were to happen:

1.) What is your favorite Justin Bieber song?  

2.) Where would you rather go on vacation:  Mordor or the Bahamas?

3.)  When you blow by a cop on the side of the road is your first thought to outrun him, or to start    crying now so you get out of a ticket?

    I won't tell you the correct answers, because if you don't know them you should be reading another website.  Mutant Vinyl Hardcore doesn't require a test to own this Midnight Hunter Berserker, just  lottery with all your pertinent information.  If you're lucky and you get picked, then you'll be able to buy this behemoth of a toy that will probably force your kids into years of therapy.  The aforementioned lottery is happening right now and will last until 11:59pm Eastern time tonight.  Head over to http://www.mutantvinylhardcore.com/, enter your info, then go on a crime spree to scratch up the $185 so you can buy this sucker if you win.  

ToyCon UK Exclusives from Mintyfresh

    ToyCon Uk is a little over a week away and the exclusives are finally starting to pop up online.  The event is sold out already, so now would be the time to contact your English friends and beg them to buy you all the stuff you want.  That is unless they don't have tickets either, then you'd just be wasting time you could be using to make new friends that would better be able to help you.  Friends with benefits doesn't always have to denote something scandalous ya know.

    Mintyfresh has three exclusives that will make you spend all of your money the moment you walk through the door.  That bear from Instinctoy looks like he's been wandering through a toxic wasteland, or as we would call it in New Jersey: Trenton.  There are two versions of this radioactive looking dude:  a flocked one that is limited to 50 pieces and available at the con, and a glow in the dark version that is also limited to 50 and available online for those of us not able to go or that live half way around the world.  

    And they'll have two mean looking Debris figures from Restore that just want to come home with you and cuddle on the couch.  There's the Glaciation edition that looks like hypothermia has set in, and the SFB Blue edition that stands tall in his unpainted glory.  

    They will be holding a lottery (which you can enter right now) for any leftovers they may have from the event.  Sign up at https://mintyfresh.wufoo.com/forms/toycon-uk-leftovers-lottery/.

    

Bedtime Bunnies from Peter Kato Release Tomorrow!

    I seriously need a nap.  My two smallest cats have entered their puberty phase (don't worry, they are getting spayed/neutered tomorrow, I am responsible sometimes) and have not let me sleep the past few nights.  If teenagers were the same way the human race would have been extinct hundreds of years ago.  They're so restless and they figure if they're gonna stay up and act like weirdos all night then you should too.  Not cool kitties, not cool.

    Just looking at these Bedtime Bunnies from Peter Kato reminds me of all the sleep I've forever lost.  And they're fricken cute beyond anything.  Just look at them, their peaceful little faces; their adorable little bunny slippers.  They come in two different sizes:  a 3 inch one for $20, or a 2 and 1/2 inch one for $12.  As always, these are hand made by Peter in his secret lair/studio.  Get one, or a pile of em, when they go on sale tomorrow (April 3rd) at http://peterkatoshop.com/.  

Dragon Sword Fighter Force from Citizen Brick

    You know what's awesome about Citizen Brick?  They know what the people want.  Let's be realistic for a second, cause as much as we would all go absolutely ape over it, Lego is not gonna make these.  The show that these are based on is waaaaaaaay too out there with it's content for officially licensed sets to ever happen.  So Citizen Brick takes it upon themselves to ensure collectors can have what they want.  i think they're more like finely crafted little pieces of art myself, but I would probably still want to play with them.  There are 12 figures in total that you can either buy as 4 individual sets of 3, or you can get all 12 and a bonus 13th figure (seen below).  These are professionally made too, with big machines and whatnot, so the quality is as good if not better than the ones you buy at the store.  Get em right now at http://citizenbrick.myshopify.com/.

Pulp Fiction Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    Fact: Pulp Fiction nearly made John Travolta cool.  Then he went back to being an extreme weirdo again, but for that one brief moment, he was in a movie that was actually watchable.  Hollywood is a strange place that I will never understand.  I could go on for quite awhile about people who are allowed to continue to make movies that no one in the real world can take seriously, but that's what the rest of the internet is for.

    I do enjoy Pulp Fiction.  I enjoy just about everything Quentin Tarantino does, because you never really know what to expect from him, but you know that it will be crazy.  But even in his twisted worlds I don't think he could have ever predicted that characters from one of his films would be turned into cute little figures.  Or that you can't make Samuel L. Jackson not look mean no matter how hard you try.  Funko has continued their efforts to turn everything that ever existed into their Pop! Vinyl figures and I'm totally ok with that.  Look for them in stores next month.
