Plaseebo Is Sending Some Craziness to NYCC

    Look at this group of characters.  These guys are the stuff of nightmares.  They look like the computer generated critters on that show Monsters Inside Me, where they tell stories about people that have been infected with parasites.  Sometimes they'll have actual footage of a doctor's scope traveling through someone's body and they'll come around a bend and BAM there's some worm eating all the soft tissue it can get it's little mouth on.  I half expect them to come across something Plaseebo makes and upon seeing the camera it smiles and flips you the bird.  

   His delightfully mutated creations will be available at two different booths during New York Comic Con.  The dude on the far right a collaboration with Rampage Toys and Skull Head Butt) will be available from Rampage Toys at booth # 208, while everything else will be making available through the Kaiju Monster booth # 406.  

Monsterpants Is Celebrating Halloween with a New Sea-Borg Invader Figure

    Autumn is by far my favorite season of the year and Halloween is my favorite holiday.  We don't really do much decorating, or even participate in it, because our house looks like a childhood nightmare as it is.  Other than toys, we are constantly on the hunt for antique medical items, Virgin Mary statues, and the occasional dead critter.  If our home was abandoned for a good 50 years you'd have an awesome horror film set without having to do much work.  

    This Sea-Borg Invader from Monsterpants would fit right in to our ever growing collection.  And his nice orange and black paint color scheme is also in line with our beloved Philadelphia Flyers, who hopefully will win the Stanley Cup again before I die.  This figure will be available until October 28th and is only $25.  Get one now at http://channelmidnight.com/.    

NYCC Exclusives from Tenacious Toys

    After waiting an entire year the time has finally come for New York Comic Con.  Some times, finding out about exclusives can be a difficult task.  You may get a teaser image, or you may notice a posting about em on Twitter as you're on the train in route to the convention and it turns out it's something you really want but you weren't able to budget accordingly or plan your booth visits right so you just get frustrated and you kick the seat in front of you and it turns out the guy in that seat was just paroled and the spider web tattoo on his face makes you think he may not be understanding of your situation and you end up spending the whole convention getting reconstructive dental work.  

   Tenacious Toys wants to see your smiling face with all of it's teeth at their giant collective booth, so they've made these handy little pictures with everything you need to know about their exclusives.  You have pricing info and the amount of them that were made right there so you can plan accordingly and not miss out on something you really want.  Take a peak below of everything they've announced so far:

Paul Kaiju's King Jinx Gets the Skinner Treatment and He Likes It!

    When the crab people finally rise from the depths and enslave human kind I hope they don't come ashore in Atlantic City.  Casinos keep closing and most of the neighborhoods aren't that friendly, and crab people are gonna just look like target practice.  The one's that survive will probably be forced into a life of prostitution for some pimp named Boo Bear with a short fuse and a strong smackin hand.  It's a cold city, crab people, so just stay underwater and head further south to Florida, where the people are retired and will just be happy to have something new to talk about with their grandkids.  

    Skinner has got those mad skills when it comes to painting toys.  I look at em, and I try to decide how he does it, but I don't know.  I'm just a simple man, typing simple words, I'm no toy coloring wizard.  Just gaze upon the magnificence that he has bestowed upon Paul Kaiju's King Jinx.  I hope you had your inhaler nearby, cause I know that sucker just took your breath away.  Or maybe it took your breath away when you first saw the picture and you were never even able to read what I wrote cause you are now dead on the floor with your hands around your neck and a panicky smile on your face.  If that's the case then you're gonna miss out when these go on sale today at noon Pacific time today over at http://shopcriticalhit.com/.  For those of you still with us, there are only gonna be 5 available, so your odds of getting just increased and I'll be expecting thank you notes for killing your competition.  

    

Carded DC Labbits from Kidrobot Are Here

    I first showed you pictures of these that I took at Toy Fair last february.  Since then there hasn't been anything else said about them, other than some websites offering them for preorder.  Then magically they were unleashed upon an unsuspecting world yesterday in what could best be described as a pseudo-surprise release.  Things have been weird with Kidrobot lately, and I know people have been panicked after their huge sales they've been running online and the fact that there hasn't been nearly the level of communication through social media that fans have come to expect over the years.  But I take this as a step in the right direction, even if the only way we found out about them was from stores posting on Instagram that they had them in stock.  At least there's new product out, and it's stuff I've been excited for since I heard about them.  These 6 carded Labbits retail for $10 each and I'm gonna especially need that Batman one.  

    I'm not one of those internet trolls that complains about Kidrobot for everything that they do.  I love them and a huge portion of my collection in made up of their releases.  Hopefully everything is going well there and they will continue to drain my bank account for many years to come.  

I stole this picture from myplasticheart's Instagram account.  I regret nothing.  

NYCC Exclusive Eti the Space Nurse from Peter Kato x Cubo NY

    Why is it that whenever you hear people talk about being abducted by aliens all they can focus on is the fact they got probed.  It doesn't seem to be that big of a deal that a species from somewhere in the galaxy travelled all the way to Earth, thought they'd be cool to snatch, and then kidnaps them for an undisclosed period of time.  It's the fact that they were violated in the name of alien science.  It seems weird to me, that if a race of beings is so far advanced that they can create these super fast space ships to visit strange planets that the only thing they'd be concerned with is the inner workings of our butts.  What I think happens in a lot of these abductions is that the people were probably really drunk and hanging around these back country roads (where all of these abductions take place) and some hillbilly picked them up and played doctor with them in his conversion van.  The SyFy channel should be calling me any minute.

    This is how I prefer to think of aliens, as these super chill critters who are just looking to help.  Peter Kato has gone so far as to suggest that many are employed in the health care field and traveling all over the galaxy curing rare diseases.  Take Eti here, a nurse with a heart of gold that makes house calls you may not even know you need.  This figure is a collaboration between Peter and Cubo NY, who is a toyshop/3d printing service.  She's limited to only 20 pieces, will sell for $60 each, and is a New York Comic Con exclusive for Cubo NY's booth # 501.  And she comes with that cool syringe stand that they should sell in life-size versions so I can get one for my living room.  

NYCC Exclusive Greads from Evil Dave x Dead Hand Toys

                        

    We're officially one week away from the opening of New York Comic Con, so I'm gonna try and step up my game and show you all my favorite stuff that will be available there.   Be prepared to have your minds blow, your souls ache, and your wallet scream for mercy (in no particular order).

    You see these custom Greads from Evil Dave and Dead Hand Toys?  These are what you would call a bargain, cause not only are they 100% hand made, they're also 100% affordable.  Hot dogs at the Javitts Center cost more than these and only one of them will give you a tapeworm.  Ten full size Greads were made and cost only $28, while 30 micro Greads were produced and they will run ya a mere $12 each.  Twelve dollars for a hand made art toy?  These will be available at Suburban Vinyl's booth #208, which is part of the massive Tenacious Toys collective.  You can't miss it, the thing is like the size of a city block, but with minimal chance of being run over by an aggressive cab driver.
