New Exclusive S.U.C.K.L.E Figure Sets

    Options.  We all love them.  Sometimes we love them too much and that puts us into a financial bind because we can't just choose one of something when every option is equally as appealing.  Luckily for you, these S.U.C.K.L.E. sets are inexpensive so you won't have too much guilt after you buy them all.  Toy Art Gallery has the clear red ones and Suburban Vinyl has the clear green.  For $20 a can you can't go wrong!!

Custom Toy of The Week: Evilos

    I know I haven't really been keeping up with my "Custom Toy of the Week" posts, but its because there is just soooooooooooooooo much out there I can't really keep up.  Sure, I could post just quick snippets about everything I see, but that is too impersonal for me and insulting to someone's hard work. So I wait patiently like a hungry cobra, and strike out from the weeds when I see something particularly tasty. 

    Dinner is served with this custom Android from Evilos.  Just look at this thing.  He took one of those giant new figures and turned him into everyone's favorite droid.  And this doesn't just sport an amazing paint job, as R2 also lights up and makes sound that you control with an included remote.  And it's the first ever Mega Android figure to be customized.  And you could own this thing right now. It is listed on eBay as we speak and as of this post has 9 days left before the auction ends.  Currently the bid is up to $530, but you have a fat tax return coming your way and this is the ultimate, one of a kind, Star Wars collectible.  To place your bid click here.  

New Marvel Labbits from Kidrobot Out Now!

    I have the uber official Kidrobot catalog on my desk as I type this and it says that these dudes weren't due to release until the second week of March.  But then Kidrobot was like "psyche, we do what we want" and released them early so you can get them all right this second!  You got the second series of blind boxed Marvel Labbits as pictured above, and the newest 7 inch Labbits in Ghost Rider and Deadpool.  Don't worry yourself with silly dilemmas like which one is your favorite because you know you love them all equally and want to give them a good home.  Buy now, pay credit card bills when they go to collections.  

New Releases from The Mark Ultra

    You know what you need in your life?  Ok, keep it PG ya weirdos.  You need some sweet bootleg action figures.  You know where to get them?  Tonight from The Mark Ultra!!!  See how easy I make it for you to part with your money?  I'm like the little devil on your shoulder telling you to do bad things, like push your sister's boyfriend into traffic.  But buying toys carries a way shorter prison sentence and you'll feel a tad less guilty.  

    You can get all the dudes you see here at 8pm Eastern time from http://Themarkultra.com/ for only $20 each, which is cheaper than taking a date to Applebees.  You know that girl always orders an appetizer when you're trying to eat on a budget.  

Toy Fair 2014: Dark Horse

    If you're a fan of Game of Thrones (which why wouldn't you be) then this year is gonna be an expensive one for you because their merchandise packed this year's Toy Fair.  Most of the stuff consisted of action figures, which of course I like, but it is nice to see some different stuff available too. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have a spouse who is not only supportive of my addictions (all healthy mind you) but is an active participant.  Which is why it was refreshing to see what Dark Horse had on display, as it allows you to scratch that collecting itch without having to hide your toys in the basement.  

     They do have a line of figures out as well, but items such as this snow globe and the map with the markers of the different factions allow you to fill your house with your obsession without having to be lectured about acting like a kid.  Not that that's ever bothered me, but sometimes you do have to class the joint up a bit, and this is the perfect way to do it while still waiving your fan flag.  Look for these and more coming out in March.

WWR Evol Marquis De Plume from 3A

    Holy crap.  Like for real, holy crap.  How else do you describe something that looks this amazing?  This dude looks like he stepped off of a Hollywood movie set.  He looks like a post apocalyptic Boba Fett.  

    Of course this is the work of 3A, because no one else is making toys that come anywhere close to this.  For those of you that are fans and collectors of their work you already know what to expect when it comes to their figures, but for any of you new to this line, you may have just found your latest obsession.  One of my favorite things about what they make is the weathering that they achieve.   The clothes are appropriately worn out and soiled, while the metal elements feature the patina of age and use.  

    This WWR Evol Marquis De Plume looks like a man with a mission and a history that would make you cringe if you heard him tell it.  Buy one for yourself and stare at it endlessly when they go on sale Friday, February 28th at 9:00am Hong Kong time.  There are a couple of different options to pick from starting at $130.  Hurry and sell of the rest of the crap you own so you can start collecting these guys.

Orange Creamsicle Heathrow from Frank Kozik

    You wanna see something cute?  Oh, I guess I should have asked you that before I posted the picture.  Well, no you've already seen it and the surprise is ruined.  Also, if someone ever asks you if you want to see something cute on the internet you should be suspicious and not click on any links because most likely you will see something disgusting that you will never be able to scrub clean from your brain.  There's some really twisted stuff out there and I know this cause I've seen most of it.  Many moons ago I used to work at a radio station and we had unfiltered access to the internet.  Most days were pretty boring so we would all try to find the grossest thing we could and put it as the background on all of the sales people's computers.  If you haven't been an HR nightmare at one of your jobs, you just don't understand how to be employed. 

   Back to actual cuteness.  It's Heathrow from Frank Kozik!!!!  This time he's made out of pure Japanese sofubi and hand painted for your pleasure.  There are 50 of these little dudes just waiting to be mailed to you after they go on sale tomorrow (February 26th) at 2pm Pacific time for the bargain price of $40.  Though I don't have $40 right now cause these cats are eating me out of house and home.  Kozik needs a layaway plan.
