Ooooooh New York Comic Con is just a few days away and I've moved some money here, ignored some bills there, and I'm ready to come home with a ton of new stuff. Some of that stuff will hopefully be from Super7. Take a look at what they will have and see if you can guess what I want. (Here's a hint: it's the Micro Mummy Boy and Rose Vampire). All of these and more will be available at booth #126.

A Plethora of New Dunny Releases from Kidrobot
This week is like Christmas for Dunny fans, as Kidrobot has new releases in just about every size and style. They've got big ones and little ones and cute ones and spooky ones and just about everything in between. You could knock out everyone on your Christmas list in the first week of October and really slack off the rest of the year. It's great for people like me who have dreams about waking up on Christmas morning and not having done any shopping what so ever and trying to figure out how you're going to escape from your family and where you can escape to that would sell things that you could pass off as presents. Not that I wake up drenched in sweat or anything after one of those and freaked out until I'm relatively sure it didn't happen in real life.
The first release will go down on Tuesday, October 4th with this adorable cosplayer from twelvedot. He'd look right at home dodging some 8bit traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike. This is the 3rd release as part of the Emerging Artist five inch series and can be yours for only $34.99.
Next up is a whole dang gone series from one Mr. Scott Tolleson. They're called The Odd Ones and they're a bunch of familiar characters reimagined in 3 inch Dunny fashion. Sold blind boxed for $11.99 each you know you can't just get one, cause that's like eating just one Kit Kat from the bar, which would be dumb. Don't be dumb.
And last but certainly not least is the 8 inch Lord Strange Dunny from Brandt Peters. Dude is wearing a skull mask, which you know has got to be concealing something crazy. I mean, when wearing a skull is the most reasonable way to go out in public you know life has taken an interesting turn. Both this bro and The Odd Ones series will be available starting Friday, October 7th.

NYCC Exclusive "JaWabbit" from Flat Bonnie x DKE Toys
Jawas are the most underrated characters in all of the Star Wars universe. Those little dudes are cute as hell and they help keep the galaxy clean by recycling all the junk they can into cold hard space credits. They're like that guy who comes through your neighborhood every week on bulk trash day with his pick up truck looking for scrap metal, except with waaaaaay less prison tattoos. They are just as likely to cut you though, cause I've never met a short dude in a hoodie that didn't have a temper.
Flat Bonnie has taken everyones favorite little intergalactic hustlers and turned them into adorable plush bunnies. Seriously, these are so cute I could punch myself in the face. DKE will be selling these exclusively through their New York Comic Con booth #423 next week and they're limited to only 30, of which I want every one. I have a greed problem.
NYCC Exclusives from Renone x Tenacious Toys
Renone has been burning that midnight oil and breathing in those resin fumes as he gets ready to drop a menagerie of exclusives at New York Comic Con. The only place to find them (or him if you happen to be there Thursday) is at the Tenacious Toys booth #309 in The Block, which is where the cool kids hang out, fyi.

Death Dealer Labbit from Frank Frazetta x Frank Kozik x Kidrobot
This is the most metal designer toy to ever exist. Not like basic girls giving the metal horns because pumpkin spice is back in season; I'm talking men in an ancient world battling the onslaught of demons as they spill forth from a great chasm in the Earth. I'm talking about reading Lord of the Rings and wishing that it was real life and how much better it would be to raise an army against evil rather than stocking another damn shelf at the Wal Mart only to have people not control their little heathens as they tear the place apart. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. You've already got the power chord heavy soundtrack playing in your mind and the thunder in your heart and you're ready to set a fire, roast a mythological creature, and feast at a table made from the bones of your enemies. I just got myself way too hyped. I always do that, then I have to go about my day pretending I'm not thinking about cleaving punks in half with a broad sword. My therapist is gonna have fun with this one.
Worship at the feet of Frank Kozik's interpretation of Frank Frazetta's legendary Death Dealer. He is mounted on his mighty Labbit steed and is ready to send any and everyone on a nasty trip to the afterlife. Open your home to the darkness when this beauty is released on Friday, September 30th from Kidrobot. We are not worthy.

Sea-Borg Mutations Wave 2 from MonsterPants
None of us are perfect, but it's our flaws that make us who were are. Like, if you were missing an eye, people might call you "Cyclops Bro". Or if you had a trash truck run over both your legs and ended up in a lawyer commercial talking about it you'd be this lady:
That commercial makes me laugh every time I see it. Seriously, it's absurd but I cant help it. I even showed it to everyone I work with and they thought it was hilarious too. I mean, there's the fact that the trash truck ran over her legs, which is kind of a funny way to get yourself injured. And how did she end up laying on the road so a trash truck could even do that? Did she drop her keys in the gutter? Did a raccoon steal her keys and run into the gutter with them and she was lying there with a turkey club from Subway trying to bribe him to return them? And her voice is so sad and pathetic and I just can't help it but then I worry that laughing makes me a sociopath, which only lasts all of two seconds. The worrying part, not the laughing. I'm still laughing as I type this.
Imperfections can be awesome, just like these Sea-Borg Mutations from MonsterPants. They're created from miscast parts, color tests, and other bits of randomness that gives each figure his own unique personality. Bring these delightful freaks into your life when they go one sale Thursday, September 29th at noon eastern time at this link. I wonder if she got Terminator legs after the accident? If so I think I should go into hiding.

Bigshot Toyworks Exclusives for NYCC
Bigshot Toyworks never fails to deliver a diverse offering of items when they make an appearance at New York Comic Con, but this year they've got everything from a half dissected black metal gnome, to a familiar looking fried chicken baron, to a jacked up unicorn that's more pit fighter than Lisa Frank notebook cover. Check out some photos of what will be available and pay them a visit at booth #309 during the convention.
