Online Custom Nyagira Show from Max Toy Company Begins Tomorrow

    The internet has forever changed the world for the anti social.  You can do anything from the comfort of your couch and never have to pretend you're uncomfortable around people.  You can hold a job, buy your groceries, pay your bills, and even attend art shows.  Ok, so online art shows aren't just for the anti social, they're also for the geographically challenged.  How many times have you wished you could attend an event only to have it occur on the opposite coast and you with no way to get there?  Never fear, cause Max Toy Company has harnessed the power of wi-fi and binary and other techy stuff to present a Nyagira custom show.  It will debut tomorrow on www.maxtoyco.com and will feature custom kitties from your favorite artists.  Check out a preview with price list at this link.  

New Toys from DC Comics x Kidrobot to Debut Tomorrow

    My poor kitty Wednesday is sick.  She's got really long hair so she frequently gets hairballs and I think she may have one stuck somewhere in her digestive track.  We're going to the vet later today so instead of pacing around the house and making myself sick with nerves I decided to share new toys with you.  

    Back with another sudden release, Kidrobot is unleashing new toys tomorrow based on characters from DC Comics.  There will be a mini series featuring many of your favorites, but the real stars of the show are the Batman and Joker Labbits.  I've been coveting these suckers for well over a year and wouldn't you know it that they come out the day after I have to pay what I'm sure will be a huge vet bill.  I'd do anything for my cats though, so while I may not get them tomorrow, I'm sure I'll get em eventually.  They're both the 7 inch versions and will retail for $59.99, while the mini series of figures will be sold via blind box and will cost $11.99 each.  They will be available starting at 10am MST on www.kidrobot.com.  

Batman Dorbz from Funko's Vinyl Sugar Line

   
    Now I for one prefer my Batman a little dark and gritty, but being that I'm no longer a teenager with a closet full of band shirts and a bad attitude (ok, so I got older but the other two still stand) I'm trying to appreciate the cuter things in life.  Like these Dorbz figures from Funko's Vinyl Sugar division.  They totally make me not angry while watching a Subway commercial with that Jarad guy who lost all the weight eating those gross sandwiches.  No one is impressed any more ya idiot!  I mean, no big deal, look how cute these figures are.  Total meltdown avoided.  ( there actually was a Subway commercial on while I typed this by the way.  It's like I've invited you right into my living room without having to awkwardly wait for you to leave).   Pick up these precious little crime fighters and villains this June.

Meet Your New Toy Display: Autumn Stag from Gary Ham x Pobber Toys

    One thing that can be a downside of collecting is determining how to show off your sacred objects.  Personally, I like vintage display cases, and not because I'm snotty and refuse to use those glass cases from Ikea (though that's true) but I love the juxtaposition of old and new.  Plus, I want my house to look more like a musuem than a convenience store.

    But what if you could display your toys on another toy?  Did I just blow your mind?  Does the idea make all of your dreams come true?  Cause Gary Ham and Pobber Toys are making it happen with the Autumn Stag.  This thing is a literal beast at over 2 feet tall and is sturdy enough for you to pile on your mini figures.  You only have until April 10th to preorder one for $499 plus shipping.  Sure it's a lot of money, but your toys deserve more than compact Swedish furniture that's a pain to put together.

Heathrow the Hedgehog Blind Box Series from Frank Kozik

    Hedgehogs are freakin adorable.  In fact, they are one of those flawless creatures that make the world a better place.  I'm pretty sure they don't even carry diseases, as their cuteness has, like, anti-bacterial properties or something.  And sure they're kinda pokey, but just "hey it would be really chill if you don't try and swallow me" pokey and not "I have these terrifying spines filled with poison that will slowly melt the flesh from your bones" pokey.  If I didn't already have a house filled with cats I wouldn't mind having a pack of hedgehogs running around.

    Frank Kozik has captured the cuteness of these critters in his Heathrow character, which is now available as a blind box series.  As we speak, or type, or whatever, your favorite toy stores should have these little 3 inch vinyl dudes ready for you to collect.  Why don't you pay them a visitand become obsessed with something new?  Do it, do it.  

Vikings Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko

    Ahhh the Viking age; where men proved their worth by raiding villages for their treasures and enslaving the women and children.  Now a man's worth is judged by the amount of arguments he can win on the internet from the comfort of his mother's basement.  The times have watered down manhood from the glory one once felt in battle to the passive aggressive wins we clamor for in the safety of cubicles.  I say ENOUGH with the skinny jeans and the depressed pictures on Facebook.  Go outside, get a facial scar, and curse out the cable company for having the audacity to drop your internet connection during Wrestlemania.  I'm still mad about that.

    I loooooooooove Vikings.  It's one of my favorite all time tv shows, though how no one has contacted me to make a guest appearance I'll never know.  The great thing about the show is that while it may take liberties to make the stories more compelling, many of the people did actually exist as did some of the events that take place.  The raids on England did in fact set up the first Danish settlement in that country, of which I am told my ancestors were a part of.  It was hand written in an old Bible my grandfather had kept that detailed his family's lineage.  And you thought my website name was just cute.  

    Needless to say, I want every one of these.  Funko will be releasing these in May and you have until then to hide anything of value, lest they decide to take it for themselves.
