NYCC Exclusive "Inner Beast" from Scott Wilkowski x Monster Worship x Lulubell Toys



   I can feel my wallet getting thinner every time I do a post about New York Comic Con.  The fact that I just bought a car, or just paid my mortgage is weighing heavily on my brain, so much so that I think my eyes might be bulging out a little.  But there's so much goodness to be had, that I can then bring home and take pictures of and put in my display cases and drool on every once in a while.   Why must I be tormented so?  Why couldn't I just start a website about professional wrestling, or flea markets or abandoned places in New Jersey or anything else that doesn't make me want everything I see?

   Look at how amazing Monster Worship's Alter Beast figure looks with one of Scott Wilkowski's sweet skeletal forms stuffed inside?  It's a thing of beauty and will be on sale from the folks at Lulubell Toys at booth #408 on a first come, first served basis.

NYCC Exclusives from Rampage Toys




    The last time I was promised "oodles of fun" I ended up in the emergency room as they scraped broken glass out of my foot.  I was five years old and the shards had formerly been a limited edition Muppets cup glass with Kool-Aid.  And it was the Animal one, which was my favorite.  So excuse me if I'm skeptical, but that was a traumatizing event for wee little Chris.  A few years have passed and I'm working on building my trust again with "oodles of fun" when I see this flier from Rampage Toys.  Just look at all the neat stuff he's bringing to New York Comic Con.  I pretty much like all of these toys, so everything is good there.  And he's painted them up all nice and pretty, which can't be a bad thing at all.      On top of that he'll also have a ton of his own stuff, which is good.  I'm beginning to think this whole "oodles of fun" thing could work out.  BUT GOD HELP NEW YORK IF IT DOESN'T CAUSE I'M GONNA BE PISSED.    Visit Rampage at booth # 208, part of the Tenacious Toys collective and for a full list of all the stuff he'll have available check out http://rampage-toys.blogspot.com/.  

NYCC Exclusive Bone Usir DX from Splurrt x Mutant Vinyl Hardcore



    If I owned this toy I would sleep with it every night.  I don't mean in the sicko way ya perv (maybe though) but in the innocent way a child cuddles his favorite toy.  It's not only cause I would love it so much, but it's to keep other people from trying to touch it.  My life is like those commercials for the Dodge Dart, where the neighbor is always trying to come over and touch the other dude's car but he's all like "no bro, keep your filthy mits to yourself."  Why is everyone's first inclination when they see something they like to pick it up?   I'd probably be bad at owning a store, cause I'd put everything under glass.  You want to touch something?  You can touch it all you want after you pay for it and take it home.  Until then it belongs to me.

    The chances of me scoring one of these sick Bone Usirs from Splurrt and Mutant Vinyl Hardcore is pretty slim.  For one, they only made 7 of them, and for two, I'm not the best at parting with my money.  It takes me some convincing (mostly in my own head) that my house won't get foreclosed on if I splurge a little, and by then they will all be sold.  So what I'm gonna do is start convincing myself now in the days leading up to New York Comic Con and by the time they go on sale this Friday at 2pm at the Monster Island booth, I should be ready to pull the financial trigger.  Plus it helps when you're in a crowd of people and you wanna join in on all the excitement.  I imagine that's how most people die from drinking too much, actually.  Peer pressure will help me bring this sucker home!

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/.

   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.
