"Gnosis" featuring Deathcattoys and More Opens Saturday at Toy Art Gallery

    West coasters:  did you read my last post and get a little misty that there was no art show for you to go to?  Fear not, because Toy Art Gallery always has something going on and this weekend is no exception.  The highlight, I feel, will be the new sofubi line from Deathcattoys.  They'll be making their debut this weekend with a bunch of different painted versions.   Here is a sampling of what you will see when the show opens tomorrow night:

        

Arsenal of Artists Group Art Show at Suburban Vinyl Tomorrow

    Are you in the New Jersey area?  Do you like art?  Then you meet all of the qualifications to check out the Arsenal of Artists group show at Suburban Vinyl tomorrow night.  And that little graphic you see up there has all the information you could possibly need to attend.  Now all you need to do is scratch together some funds for dinner and you've got yourself a nice night out with your significant other.  Don't have a significant other to spend a lovely evening with?  Check out Craigslist; I hear it's a great place to meet people and/or get murdered.  Probably more of the latter.  

Sludge Kraken DX Lottery from Paul Kaiju x Mutant Vinyl Hardcore

    I totally get why everyone is so interested in space.  It's infinite vastness is beyond mind blowing to comprehend and I don't know anyone that wouldn't poop themselves at the discovery of alien life.  But we have some important loose ends to tie up here on Earth, like whatever is lurking at the bottom of the ocean.  Since the dawn of time we've had fantastic notions of what could be swimming around down there and no one has yet to prove that we're not on the verge of some serious aquatic warfare.  Right now creatures could be holding planning sessions on what do with our yucky corpses once they take over the planet.  That whole melting of the polar icecaps is probably there way of accessing currently unreachable places that would be the key to their overall world domination.  While we're staring up at the sky contemplating the stars, they are going to rise from the depths and attack.  

    Paul Kaiju and Mutant Vinyl Hardcore have glimpsed our future and captured it perfectly via this Sludge Kraken DX.  You'll get a shot at welcoming our fishy-smelling overlords into your home and praying for their mercy when the lottery to purchase one opens this Sunday, April 19th, at noon pacific time.  You have exactly one day to enter for your chance to buy one, after which your bag of bones is on its own during the uprising.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Posters Have Leaked!!!!!

    Oh sweet Jesus look what I found!!!!!!  In a move that I'm sure is purely coincidental (wink wink) the advertising for the new Star Wars film The Force Awakens has leaked just as Star Wars Celebration kicks off in California.  Now we get our first proper look at the newest bad dude on the Sith block, who's looking to crush the now victorious rebellion and restore an evil reign of terror to the galaxy.  I'm totally having a nerd seizure of excitement looking at these.  Is it December yet?  

Bedtime Bunny Danglers and More from Peter Kato

      Yesterday I was driving, well inching my way forward, in Philadelphia traffic and could have really used one.  To start with, the main highways in and around the city are very narrow and in a state of such disrepair that you would think auto mechanics had a hand in keeping them that way to drum up business.  Secondly, everyone is already angry for some reason and when you put them in traffic with merging cars and people attempting to make an exit from four lanes away it doesn't do anything to stop that.  The city is due for a new mayor yet none of the campaign commercials have addressed this at all. They harp on making neighborhoods safer and raising money for schools and tons of other issues, but i think everything can be solved with making people just a little happier.  That's why if I was elected mayor (which I don't know why I wouldn't be) I would by one of these Bedtime Bunny Danglers for everyone in the city to hang from their rearview mirrors.  Picture it now:  your level of anger is about to go from slow simmer to power boil cause you just knocked your cars alignment out of whack on a pot hole and some guy in a Mercedes who was talking on his cell phone just cut you off without so much as a courtesy signal.  You're about to go full nuclear when you notice one of Peter Kato's pastel rabbits swinging back and forth with a face so cute it could melt iron.  I just lowered the homicide rate single handedly with the help of some resin bunnies.  

    I think at $15 each, those danglers are a bargain that you can't pass up, especially when you're talking about saving lives.  But that's not all he'll have going up in his shop tonight at 8pm eastern time, as there will also be 10 Sleepytime Bunnies for $12 each.  Each one is hand made and totes adorbs (that's for the kids out there.  I am so not out of touch).

A New "Keep Watch" Mummy Boy from Mishka x Super7

    Could you imagine how impractical it would be if our entire heads were just one big eyeball?  We'd never have any of those good fighting videos on Youtube because as soon as someone got poked it would be over.  Giant monocles would probably be really expensive for people that needed vision correction, not to mention putting eye drops in would be a two man job.  And pink eye would probably be fatal.  Thus concludes my argument for us to maintain the two little eyes we have and not wish for a big, all encompassing one.  Stop your wishing!

    The Keep Watch Mummy Boy from Mishka and Super7 is however a pro at keeping his neighborhood safe.  Nothing gets passed him, unless it occurs when he's making one of his very slow, energy draining blinks.  Then you could pretty much clean a house out and have half of the merchandise sold on Craigslist before he knew what happened.  You can get this unintentional peeping tom for your home tomorrow when he goes on sale at www.super7store.com.  

"Acidic Orange" Alien Figure from Super7

    This guy is doing a terrible job of not reminding about the Flyers not making the playoffs.  He's decked out in the team's colors, looking ready to hoist the Stanley Cup above his head.  But alas, it is not to be this season, or any of the past 30 plus seasons.  I wonder what the suicide rate among Philadelphia sports fans is.  I bet it's high.  Don't worry though, cause I'm too full of myself to dare deprive you of my presence.  No need to thank me.  

    Have you gotten one of these sofubi Alien dudes from Super7 yet?  They're not easy to come by, but you'll have a chance to snag this "Acidic Orange" version when it goes on sale this Thursday, April 16th at noon pacific time.  Fifty bucks and a lot of luck is all you need.
