Mishka Dunny Series from Kidrobot + Release Party



    Oh my goodness this is the craziest Dunny series ever made.  They got zombie looking ones, crazy animals with guns and forked tongues.  There's even one that looks like you're creepy uncle Ted. This series is not for people that have never been in a fight or haven't had a tetanus booster shot in the last five years.  Each one is decorated with pure snake venom and contains the angry soul of a biker demon.  I want them all.

   Mishka and Kidrobot have teamed up to bring you these Dunnys that are sure to make your mother cry and tell all her friends how disappointed she is in you.  She doesn't get you man, but I do!  These are being released into the wild on Friday, March 11th, but if you're lucky enough to live in the San Francisco area you can get yours a day early by going to the release party at Woot Bear/Kidrobot SF.  Hit it up from 6-9pm, buy a ton of toys, and trade with your fellow collectors.


Here's a few of my favorite designs from the series:

Labbit With Littons Box Set from Frank Kozik x Kidrobot Available Now




    If you thought Labbits came from a factory somewhere in Asia you couldn't be more wrong.  Well, you could be more wrong if you also enjoy listening to Nickelback while you thought that, but then you'd be so wrong there's no hope for you.  Sorry, but it's fatal.

   Labbits are born, not created silly goose.  There are farms located all over the world responsible for breeding these majestic creatures.  They're no joke to raise either, because God forbid they could eat something cheap like carrots.  They require the finest in snack cakes and caffeinated beverages and woe is the farmer that dares buy store brand.

     This pack of momma Labbit and her five bey beys is on sale right now at www.kidrobot.com for $19.99.

Kerberosman Custom Figures from Kenth Toy Works x GEEK!


    I'm not sure what exactly this dude's name translates to, so he could either be a reference to Cerberus, the three headed dog that guards the underworld, or he could just be an overly ambitious werewolf.  Either way, you don't chain someone's hands together for no reason, so he's probably not someone you'd want to meet while taking the trash out late at night.  

    Kenth Toy Works has customized a run of these figures from GEEK! and is offering them up now through this Wednesday at 23:00 Japan time.  Here's how you can get your hands on one of them:

Please enter your Name, Address, Phone No and Email to [ktw.order@gmail.com]

    All payments will be made through Paypal and if they generate more interest than the amount of figures they have then they will resort to a lottery system.

The Nordic Legion Alavaka from Devil's Head Productions




    It makes me sad that music doesn't freak people out anymore.  Teenagers today will never know the joy of wearing a bands shirt that was scary enough to make people cross to the other side of the street.  Not that this is black metal related, but I remember going to see Marilyn Manson during the time when people actually gathered outside of his shows to protest them.  It was in Richmond, Virginia and while we waited in line to get in people yelled at us and threw things and there was even a local news station that was outside filming it all.  The reporter came up to me and started asking questions about why we were there and what attracted us to his music, and 17 year old me leaned into the mic and calmly said "we're just here to see a damn good rock concert."  It certainly wasn't the blasphemous rant he was hoping for and I made sure I stayed calm to let the idiot protesters really look like the savages of the whole affair.  It was a cool moment for me.

    I had yet to be exposed to the craziness that was going on in Norway at the time that was making Marilyn Manson look like Captain Kangaroo in comparison, but the music eventually made its way to my ears.  It's still unlike anything else you could even think to compare it to and now you can celebrate the madness with your own Nordic Legion Alavaka from Devil's Head Productions.  Decked out in corpse paint and blood, this figure will bring the northern darkness to all it touches.  Available starting Saturday, March 5th, only from http://devilsheadquarters.storenvy.com.



Hawaiian Death Ray Wolf Thing Bat from Joseph Harmon x Toy Art Gallery




    I live in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, which is home to the world famous Jersey Devil, so I have some knowledge of strange beings.  Most of the knowledge is not Devil related however, and has more to do with the migration of weirdos from the Staten Island area to our beaches.  They are usually the same color of the toy you see above and are extremely flammable due to the amount of hair product they use.  While they don't fall into the category of cryptozoology, they can't be that far off.

   The greatest name for any toy ever is the Death Ray Wolf Thing Bat.  It's great because it sounds crazy, and also because of how descriptive it is.  This piece from Joseph Harmon and Toy Art Gallery will be available starting Friday, May 4th, at noon pacific time only from shop.toyartgallery.com

Super7's Wing Kong Gets The Yeti Treatment




   Look at this snow monkey.  This doesn't look like those snow monkeys in Asia that I saw on Nattional Geographic years ago that sit in hot springs and eat bugs off of each other.  That's ok though, cause those monkeys are weird.  I've never owned a hot tub and never will if that's the type of behavior that it attracts.

    Super7 is opening a new store in San Francisco on Friday (March 4) which will be where you can get you're filthy mitts on this chilly simian.  Here's the address so you can celebrate the grand opening with them from 6pm-10pm: 3253 16th street.

Jeremyville Vinyl Banks from Kidrobot




    Storing money under your mattress is way safer than investing in stocks.  Of course it won't grow that way, but you won't lose any of it either.  Not unless someone steals it of course, but the police actually arrest those types of criminals, not the ones who steal your mishandled investments.

    Now if you have enough coinage to make your mattress all uneven you might want to think about a different place to store your riches.  Well, would you look at that, I just happen to have to viable alternatives right here courtesy of Jeremyville and Kidrobot.  Each of these banks stands 10 inches tall and will retail for $100 each when they go on sale this Friday, March 4th at www.kidrobot.com.





    By the way, these were expertly produced by the folks at Bigshot Toyworks.  Give them a buzz when you're ready to make your own figures.
