Help Kickstart the First Ever Figure from Chokehazrd Toys




    I love the fact that anyone with an idea can now get their toys brought to life with a little help from Kickstarter and collectors.  And you aren't just supporting a killer looking figure here, cause your pledges are helping Chokehazrd Toys become a company.  How many times are you gonna get credit for doing something like that?  It's not like those house parties your friends are always throwing to sell you crap like jewelry embedded in candles, or really over priced food.  Those people are not business owners, they are a hateful plague that should be wiped from the earth or at least kept off of Facebook.

    Not only is this figure pretty awesome looking from the front to the back, and pretty big at 6 and a half inches tall, but he's super affordable as in you won't feel guilty about ordering one because you had to choose between filling your car with gas or adding Noxious to your collection.


    The great thing about this is he has been fully funded and is now guaranteed to go into production.  You won't have to wait around for a month wondering if it's gonna happen or not like you usually do with crowd funding campaigns, so now is the perfect time to get involved.  Check out this link and be a part of someone's toy dreams coming true.

Tenacious Toys Exclusive Bun Bun from Brent Nolasco





    I bet this guy is related to the bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Though he doesn't look as fluffy, or as innocent, but he does have the sharp pointy teeth and that's gotta be an isolated genetic anomaly.  We better hope so any way, cause the bunny uprising is the last thing we need right now.

    Brent Nolasco's resin Bun Bun figure got himself a blue makeover to be part of Super Series Sunday tomorrow from Tenacious Toys.  Only 7 will be available when they go on sale and at just $75 each they won't last long.  And this is a lot of toy for your money too; just look at how big it is in the hands of a grown man:



     Those aren't baby mitts people!  Be ready at 8pm eastern time tomorrow when this sucker goes up for sale only at www.tenacioustoys.com


Semi Korosiya "Hiatus" Release from Cop A Squat Toys




    It's been a hot minute since we've seen a new Semi Korosiya release from Cop A Squat Toys, but this Sunday we're getting two different ones to choose from.  Which is a awesome and stressful at the same time, because how could you pick between these two?  The answer is you can't, so you're just going to have to come to terms with it and buy one of each.  I'm like, the best life coach ever.

     Both of them go on sale tomorrow, Sunday May 31st at 1pm eastern time over at http://www.copasquattoys.com.

Skelevex Spectrum: Series One Episode One On Sale Today!



    It seems like everyone has one of those mystery box subscription thingys now where some random assortment of junk gets mailed to your house every month and you hope you at least like one thing out of the entire lot to have made it worthwhile.  I hate those things.  I hate spending my money on something generic that people in an office put together because "you're into nerdy stuff so you'd obviously want this Captain America door hanger and Star Trek air freshner".  Well guess what smarty pants, I don't.  So go ahead and throw it away for me and I'll keep my money to myself.  Not that I have strong feelings about these sorts of things.

    If you're going to do a subscription service you gotta do that sucker right, like with these Skelevex releases.  Buying into their subscription service (which you only have until June 26th to do by the way) will get you a brand new geometric skull every month plus a free bonus one only available to those that subscribe.  If you have a problem with commitment, you can also buy them individually, starting with the Grape edition you see here.  This guy will be available starting today at 1pm BST at http://skelevex.bigcartel.com/.  



Mutant Vinyl Hardcore's Ollie is Hulk-ing Out



    I'm kinda sad today.  Not long after I write this I will be on my way to the doctor to turn my kidney stones in for analysis.  After all the pain, the heartache, and the downright horror of bringing them into this world, they are now off to some lab where someone who won't care nearly as much as me will cut them up to figure out what made em.  Is this how all mother's feel when their children go off into the world?   I have a nice spot in my cabinet where I think they'd look good.  My stones, not other people's children.  Weirdo.

   Don't cry for me Argentina because it's time once again for another Mutant Vinyl Hardcore lottery.  This time you have the chance to own one of these gigantic Ollie figures painted up to look like the Hulk.  Have they ever explained how Bruce Banner's pants stretch to fit him when he rages out?  They seriously ned to investigate what fabric those things are using because I would take that to Shark Tank stat.  Imagine, only ever having to buy one pair of pants that will stretch and shrink to fit you no matter how many trips you make to the buffet in your life.  It's a billion dollar innovation.

    The lottery for this figure begins at noon eastern time today and will run for 24 hours.  If you win, you have the ability to purchase this behemoth of a toy.  If you lose, you get the satisfaction of knowing you tried.  Hey, this isn't t-ball, not everyone gets a trophy.  Get on it at http://www.mutantvinylhardcore.com/

Yellow Sunshine Bunnies from Peter Kato Available Tonight!



    I happen to live in the Northeastern United States and there was a time in the not so distant past (like, last week) that we thought winter was going to be measured like in Game of Thrones.  It was gonna last for 8 years, our skin would become translucent like those cave critters that live in the dark their whole lives, and we'd have to stock up on Dragon Glass to protect ourselves from shriveled yet frightening abominable snow men.  Thankfully, the sun has returned to us and we shall enjoy fried foods on our boardwalks while wearing the least amount of clothing allowed by law.  Rejoice!

     Peter Kato is obviously thrilled about the return of warm weather because he has captured the spirit of the season in these Yellow Sunshine Bunnies.  If you want to snag your own bit of summer you'll have your chance tonight at 8pm eastern time when they go on sale through http://peterkatoshop.com/.

Preorder "The 13th" Dunny Series from Brandt Peters x Kidrobot Now!






    Man, I have been hurting recently.  I've been passing what feels like concrete shards through places sharp objects were never intended to be.  Two emergency room trips, one surgical procedure, and a hell of a lot of boredom while trying to get better and I finally think I've turned the corner.  The worst part (besides the pain, silly goose) was that I fell into a dark place.  I'm not talking about that spot between your couch cushions that both science and God have abandoned; I got depressed not being able to go to work and being stuck watching lawyer commercials on daytime television.  Granted, its not nearly the worst that could happen to someone, but it still sucked just waiting around to get better.  Even the internet became boring, until I saw these guys.

    I'm going to go a head and call this as the best series of Dunnys I've ever seen.  Normally I'm more a fan of the annual series that features a bunch of different artists because I like a variety when it comes to the designs.  But this set from Brandt Peters and Kidrobot really goes above and beyond to not be repetitive while still retaining a clear cohesiveness.  There's not a single one I wouldn't be excited to own and I usually never get that excited just based on the artwork at not photos of the actual figures themselves.  I was gonna hold out and post about these when the product shots started making their way online, but Circus Posterus is running such a ridiculously awesome preorder for a case of these that I didn't want you to miss out.  Right now at www.circusposterus.com you can reserve yourself an entire case of 20 blind boxed figures for $225.  Not only are you getting a discount on the case but you'll also receive a 5x7" original sketch from Brandt Peters himself!  So you'll get a ton of toys, some original art to hang on the wall, and the best time of your life sitting on your floor opening blind boxes.  You might need to take a few days off from work to recover.
