Death is Coming Courtesy of Godmachine x Mighty Jaxx



   We have a cat named Jorah, who we try to keep an eye on at all times, because the moment you lose sight of him he is plotting your demise.  He's not malicious in any sense, but his manner of amusement usually ends with my wife and I debating whether or not stitches are called for.  There was a time when we thought we had maybe brought in some new species of wild cat, as all would be quiet one minute and the next he's riding our shoulders like a rodeo bull.  He's cute though, which is his saving grace.

    If I could keep an eye on any other being, Death would probably be a good choice, as he is equally prone to strike without warning.  Now Godmachine and Mighty Jaxx are giving you the chance to curb his shenanigans by inviting him into your home.  I would place that sucker right by the tv, cause that's what I spend the most time staring at.  He will be available beginning May 21st at 10am est from http://mightyjaxx.rocks.

Bai Chu (Li Fu Edition) from Otto Bjornik X Stranger Factory



    When you think about traditional American horror films, the terror is usually confined to one specific area.  It could be a town, or an abandoned camp, or a haunted house, but generally if you can remove yourself from the scene you will live to see the sequel.  Not so much with Asian horror, as those bad dudes follow you around like they attached a GPS to your behind.  No matter where you go once you've come into contact with something that wants to kill you it's too late.   Kind of like shaking hands with a Juggalo.

     Stranger Factory will be unleashing these adorable yet somewhat deadly vampire figures from Otto Bjornik on Friday, May 20th in this exclusive colorway.  He comes with a removable magnetic talisman that helps calm his thirst for blood, is limited to only 35 pieces, and there's a special 1 in 7 gold chase figure as seen below.  Snatch one up when they go on sale through http://www.circusposterus.com.

Buck Weathers 8 Inch Dunny from Amanda Visell x Kidrobot



     Do you know how you get your farmers name?  You take the name of the street you grew up on and your dog's name.  Or something like that.  I ain't saying I know much about farming, but I have some bushes outside that are making me look like I do.  Seriously, they are banging and most likely making the neighbors jealous cause now all the birds and squirrels and chipmunks are hanging out at my place making it look like a Disney movie.

    This here is Buck Weathers, and he is simple country folk who doesn't appreciate your Dueling Banjos or Deliverance jokes.  What he does appreciate is chewing on his bit of straw and firing warning shots at anyone who tries to tip his cows over.  Seriously, why would you freaks want to push a cow down?  If you were really tough you would go bear tipping.

     You can get your hard working hands on this country bumpkin from Amanda Visell and Kidrobot on Friday, May 20th.  Oh, and it appears there are two different versions which my superior internet sleuthing has uncovered.

Celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of Bedtime Bunnies with Peter Kato at Woot Bear



   Oh snap, just when you thought Peter Kato's Bedtime Bunnies couldn't be any cuter, now they've gone and gotten slippers made to look like the Woot Bear logo.  There's actually a good reason for it too, as Peter and his little resin friends will be celebrating their 2nd anniversary of existence at the store on Saturday, May 14th.  From 6-9pm you can go and meet Peter (who is like the nicest dude in the universe) pick up one of these exclusive bunnies, and even score some bonus accessories for them    like one of these cat cups or ducks:


I would drink my juice out of these for the rest of my life.


    Each accessory is random and you get one free with each bunny.  The good thing too is that if you're not lucky enough to live in San Francisco you have nothing to worry about because these Bedtime Bunnies will be available online as well through www.wootbear.com.

The First Ever 5 Inch Dunny from Sekure D x Kidrobot




    The world is full of firsts, not all of which are awesome.  Sure you're first kiss or your first car are great memories, but then they get counteracted with things like your first arrest, or your first extra nipple.  But wouldn't you kill to go back in time and get the first ever set of Dunnys that were released?  That's a pretty cool first, and you can sort of kind of relive that moment on Friday, May 13th when the first ever 5 inch Dunny from Kidrobot is released!  This inaugural edition was designed by sneaker and toy customizer Sekure D and will be available in two different colorways.  Don't come back to me ten years from now when your 5 inch Dunny collection is only missing this one and it's impossible to find for less than the price of a Volkswagon, cause I don't want to hear it.  I'm trying to get you in on the ground floor cause regrets are for other people.

Support the Cronus Magnus Funding Campaign from Full Blown Ink


   

    Were you aware that Indiegogo is not a hipster strip club?  This completely changes my weekend plans.  While I sulk about having to reconfigure what was to be two days worth of stories I could share with the world, you should head over to this link and support this freakish beast robot from Full Blown Ink.  Meant to be an arch nemesis to his previously produced Vulkira figure, this dude looks ready to tank the real estate market in a city near you.  

    This mean lookin mother needs your help to become a real toy though. Check out the campaign here to fund this dude.  There's lots of exclusive rewards and you'll get to go to sleep every night with the satisfaction that all of this happened because of you.  Well, not just you, but its ok sometimes to let your ego run wild.

Jelly The Robot Plush Kickstarter from The Jelly Empire




    My grandma used to have a single grape vine in her backyard and every year she would make the best jelly you would ever taste in your life.  She'd prepare a case worth of these little mason jars filled with purple goodness to last us the rest of the year.  Even with her culinary skills she never built an empire on the backs of those grapes; she was at best running a jelly fringe group.

    The Jelly Empire, from what I can tell, has nothing to do with peanut butter's best friend and everything to do with cute robot creations.  Now she's taking them from small resin figures into the world of giant plush.  She's half way to raising the money she needs to start production and with the magic of Kickstarter you can help her get the rest. Check out this link and get in on all the exclusive rewards that will coincide with your pledge level.  Admit it, you need more soft and cuddly things in your life.
