DigesTED from Alex Pardee x Kidrobot Black

     I still have my teddy bear from when I was a child.  It was a Winnie the Pooh, and I carried that little sucker with me everywhere.  So much so that all of his fur came out and he's been stitched up more than Joan River's face.  He's kind of grotesque, like a small little corpse, which may explain a lot about how I turned out.  Luckily for me though, there were no crazy monsters living under his tattered plush.

    Meet DigesTED from Alex Pardee and Kidrobot Black.  This monstrosity may have once been a a nice teddy bear, but now he has morphed into something horrific and has developed a taste for the blood of children.  They made 250 of these twisted figures and they will be $200 when they are released on March 28th.  It's perfect for those of you that have a new baby and are looking for that extra special something to finish off their nursery.  If you want to raise the next Ted Bundy.

Mini 10-Doh! Series 2 Kickstarter Campaign

     I was fortunate enough to be born at just the right time to fully appreciate the Nintendo when it was first released in America.  I had an Atari before that, but nothing compared to how cool Super Mario Bros. was and the feeling of pride I had when I finally beat it.  Nothing could possibly be better than that.  But games got bigger, the graphics got better, and those old NES cartridges are now either filling up landfills or the collections of video game hoarders.

    Now we can have those memories live on forever with the help of Mini 10-Doh! figures.  These have been around for a little while, as they have done a previous blind box series of the little guys and some bigger pieces as well.  Squid Kids Ink needs your help to make Series 2 a reality and they're offering a butt ton of incentives on Kickstarter that you can get for making this happen.  Pledges range from $10 for a random blind box figure to $10,000 that will get you a complete set of Series 2, a gold set of Series 2,  5 exclusive Kickstarter figures, and a nearly 30 inch figure that you will design yourself.

    Series 2 will feature the artistic talents of Nathan Hamill, Gary Ham, David Horvath, Hydro74, Kano, Shawnimals, and many more!  Check it out and help fund it today by clicking here.

Custom Toy of the Week: We Become Monsters

    Is it any wonder that Lance Armstrong and countless other athletes risk turning their man grapes into raisins in order to become awesome athlete types?  All anyone has to do is look into their childhood's to see what a horrible influence Super Mario Brothers was.  He constantly took performance enhancing drugs and you know what they led to?  Fame, tons of gold coins, and the hottest girl in a land full of hammer-tossing turtles.  And he grew to behemoth proportions.  But never have we been exposed to the downside of relying on a fungus to make your life worth living....until now.  

    We Become Monsters dared to ask what would happen if Mario got ahold of a bad batch and the results are terrifying.  This custom figure was made for the "Game On" art show at 1AM in San Francisco next week and should serve as a warning to us all to never buy drugs from that weird guy down the street who is always wearing the same shirt that probably hasn't been washed since he bought it in 1974 from that Foghat show and that won't stop talking about the one time he met Jimmy Carter outside of an Old Navy in Atlanta during this crazy sale they were having on cargo shorts.  I mean, don't do drugs kids.  

Super Series Sunday Release from Evilos x Tenacious Toys

    I need to get this guy out here to paint my car.  Seriously, it could use a nice touch up and maybe some flames.  Or this picture on the hood:

      Evilos may not be available to paint sick fantasy murals on your automobile, but he did paint these Android figures for Tenacious Toy's Super Series Sunday.  Only 5 of them were made and they will be $50 each.  They go on sale March 17th at 4pm Eastern time.  

New Tees from JFury x Outsmart Originals

     Remember when you could go to the mall and buy cool shirts that no one else had and everybody stopped you to tell you how much they liked what you were wearing?  Yeah, me neither, so thankfully there are companies like Outsmart Originals around so you're not stuck wearing a shirt with a store's name on it. 

    Their newest shirts were designed by JFury, whose over the top cartoonish style is the stuff nightmares are made of.  Seriously, I've never met a smoking clown who had good intentions.  

    And if you order one of these tees you'll be entered to win this custom toy!  That sucker looks like he was made in a top notch factory in China, but he is actually hand painted and sculpted.  Pretty impressive.  

ToyConUK Exclusive Caveys from A Little Stranger

    A Little Stranger has been busy getting ready for the inaugural ToyConUK.  First, she sculpted the mascot figure that was turned into a killer vinyl production piece, and now she is revealing two more exclusives for the show.  And they're so cute I wanna fill a pool with them and go swimming in they're adorableness.  I've said too much.

    There's a plushy Cavey that is limited to only 25 pieces and comes with a special enamel badge and display cube.  He's gonna be £25.  Then there's the vinyl Cavey who is hand painted, limited to 10 pieces, and will cost £15.  If there happens to be any leftovers from the show the remaining toys will be listed for sale at http://heycavey.bigcartel.com/.
