Bad Applez Inc: Two Faced Rotten Apples




    This is why I prefer canned fruit, because whenever I buy it fresh I can never eat it all before it goes bad. I'll get a bag of apples and all will be good for a few days, then I'll be tired of eating all the apples and I'll take a few days off from them, then they start to look like the picture up there. It's too much pressure and I don't like to feel obligated to a food group.

    I can get behind these apples though, cause there's no need to worry about their freshness. These 3 inch resin apples are all hand painted by Mike "Nemo" Mendez and available starting today for only $20 by going to http://badapplezinc.storenvy.com/. Oh, and they look like skulls, which kinda gives kids a pretty good reason for not eating healthy so just be prepared for that argument if you have little ones.

Kozik x Kronk x Kidrobot 8 Deadly Sins Labbit Mini Series




    Wow, these suckers are waaaaaaaaaaay overdue.  I've been hoping for a Labbit Mini Series featuring other artists and now it looks like I'm gonna get my wish.  These are the 8 Deadly Sins Labbits and they were all designed by Kronk!!!!  Now, I'm no scholar or anything, but I'm pretty sure there is an extra sin thrown in there that I am unfamiliar with.  But who cares cause extra sin = extra toy.  These little guys will all be blind boxed, sell for $9.95 each, and be available July 26th from Kidrobot.  Now maybe we can get a multiple artist series going featuring designs hand picked by Kozik.  It could happen.

Sucklord x Kidrobot Message Board Exclusive Dunny



    I just snagged one of these bad boys and I have to say it has calmed my jealousy down just a little.  I've been going nuts seeing everyone's updates from comic con, but this more than makes up for it!  Check out the forums at www.kidrobot.com to find the link and try to get one for yourself.


Monstrehero and Real x Head Leechface



    The guys from Monstrehero have teamed up with a true legend in Japanese vinyl toys, Real x Head, to create these Leechface bros!  These were all painted with Monstor Kolor, so you know they look even more amazing in person.  They will be available to people at San Diego Comic Con but it's not in the usual fashion.  Follow Monstrehero on Twitter @monstresean and @monstrecliff as they'll be Tweeting where they are and you can meet up with them to buy these figures.  They have a bunch of other stuff with them as well, you could score an amazing bounty of resin toys from the makers themselves.  If you're like me though, and stuck at home watching Jerry Springer marathons fear not, just keep your eye on http://monstrehero.bigcartel.com/ cause you never know what might pop up there for a very limited time.  

Heather Gargon for the Jinxed Munnyworld Custom Show



    That dude is insane!  This is a custom Munny figure made by the talented Heather Gargon.  You could see this in person on August 4th at Jinxed in Philadelphia at our custom toy show that we put together.  We have a really neat mix of people participating, including well known toy artists, fine artists, car customizers, tattoo artists, and even a contestant from America's Next Top Model.  So come on out and see some amazing toys.

Stinky Poo by Bored Inc.



    Normally, if you were to wake up and find your kid snuggling a poop you would have great cause for concern.  Once the initial shock wore off you would have to worry about expensive therapy sessions and maybe even leaving your little one on the side of the road somewhere to be raised by the wolves that obviously birthed them.  But fear not, cause these poos are socially acceptable to snuggle.  These are Stinky Poo Plushies from Bored Inc. and they are making their debut at San Diego Comic Con.  can't make it to California?  Who cares, cause you can get these guys afterwards if you want.  My favorite is Poo-Quito and not just because this is what I think of whenever I pass by a Taco Bell.  Actually, that's the reason.  And I like his mustache.  

Rotofugi Exclusives for San Diego Comic Con



    Ok, so I figure I still have a little bit of time to sneak in some info about exclusives for San Diego Comic Con. Be ready to cry about more stuff us non convention goers can't have. You've been warned.

    Check out Grim Marshall from 64 Colors. Remember that thing I said about not being able to get stuff unless you're in California? Psyche!!! He'll be available after the convention too for $13.





     Oh, another toy that you can get after the big ol convention? Boom, here is is. This Helper Dragon from Tim Biskup is made using an old Mold-A-Rama Machine. Pretty fancy, and you can own one of these for $6. After that you can visit Rotofugi (when they get the machine working again) and make one for yourself.



    If you're a serious baller you can get this bronze version of the same figure for a mere $2700. This is why God invented the credit card and bankruptcy.



    I haven't spent the day at the lake in awhile, but I don't remember these guys lurking around. They will be $60 each and if you buy two, maybe you can convince them to mate and populate the lake nearest you. Or something.



    This dude is pretty tough looking. He's actually the trophy given out for the Triple Crown of Yo Yo and only 25 exist in this all blue version. $85 and he can be yours.

    Find all these at the Rotofugi booth #4736.
