I need!! I thinks it’s really safe to say, that anything Rabbids related makes me happy. Anyone thinking of getting this game? DaaAAAH!


Though the exact date has yet to surface, news of their release is official. Soon, I believe before the summer (July), Mozzarella and Sandy will be joining the forces of my plush army and hopefully help take over the world with their cuteness. I mean, their mean streak. ^__^ Anyway, each tokidoki plush is set to cost $19.99. Can you feel the excitement brewing?

There have been a couple Kaiju Uglydolls released, but Ice-Bat was always my favorite. Unfortunately I had no cash, and now I just don’t know if they still sell him. I would totally purchase him if I knew… so someone out there should help me find out.
Anyway, David [as in David Horvath] just updated that 50 GID Kaiju Ice-Bats are available for pre-order over at: intheyellow. My Mr. has a huge obsession with GID pieces, but I have no clue if he’s at all interested in owning Ice-Bat. If you happen to understand the language and conversion rate, would you mind telling me how much he is? He’s set to be released/shipped June 10th.
I tend to post KidRobot’s toy releases, and forget that every once in a while, they release something that isn’t too loud for me to wear. The shirt posted to your left is one of their upcoming shirt releases, not sure when exactly its going to drop, but I am quite delighted by the simple yet quirky design. Yay for Dunny on black shirt with Hollywood lights. I suggest if you like it as much as I do, you should check out KidRobot’s site.

I’m still catching up with LOADS of things… damn it, the damage that 12 hrs will do. Anyway, Flickr is becoming the best place for artists to drop some sneak peek photos. Has anyone else but me noticed that? I’m very accepting of this since Flickr plays a huge role in my life, some may find this sad- I still think I rule!
Well, Erick has officially (or is it unofficially) released a sneak peek of Chelly Chainsaw. My verdict… from what I see it’s reminding me a bit of the Mouse Micci design, which is a cool figure to me. Also, anything with a chainsaw kind of rules. Now, my question is, what kind of bottom is he/she going to have? I’m worried they’ll be big feet like Lady Liberty and all the other vinyl figures- though I do love the liberty and kissaki. Let’s see what happens. Visit Erick’s Flickr for source of photo.

Uh… I think it’s been very well established that: a) I’m a total geek- this is not a negative thing- and, b) it’s the simple things in life that make me happy. I don’t remember why, but a while back I added The Sunday Best to my RSS feed. I’m still not completely sure what it’s about, but I’ve got him under my “Fashion” blogs. Well, it was an incredible delight when I discovered the above skatedeck. His girlfriend got a paper clip design on it. OMG!! Not just that, take a look at the wheels after the jump.

Eddie, if -for whatever reason- you happen to stop by the site, you should know I’m damning you right now for not giving Berenjena to me! During NYCC, Eddie from AdFunture gave away all his products to random people passing by. It was much easier to give away his products/prototypes, then to carry them back. I hadn’t heard of his gratuity until it was too late, which sucks because one of my buddies ended up getting Berenjena and not me! DGPH created the super silly and happy Berenjena and the saddest of news is that there would only be a production of 100. On top of the super limited production, they would only be released in Taiwan. This only added to my pain.
The best part about the figure… the strawberry top comes off and out pops another little fella. I wish I had more images to share, but sadly I don’t. Damn you Eddie! He knows how crushed I was when I didn’t get it, as we met up for dinner the night before he was off… but now, I’m reinforcing it onto text. Anyone got a Berenjena they want to ship me? I’ll pay.

Their official press release has arrived! More like TRE totally beat me to the punch line and posted about them. But it’s true, Kathie Olivas’ Scavengers have finally arrived. The release date has been set for June 20th with a SRP of $11.99– there is a need to complain though. When I first spoke to representatives at the company, they thought the packaging would most likely be open-window display. It seems, although the packaging is done really well, that window display is not the route they went [may be wrong since there aren't more detailed photos of the packaging]. That means, our wallets won’t be spared.
I had a couple comments/concerns about the information Mindstlye had on their site.
1. I like that they’ve placed so much priority into the packaging. I believe they went as far as saying: “The flip top gift box is closed by a magnet and comes with a slip cover. We’ve found collectors find the packaging equally as important, so we’ve made every effort to create something that is worth keeping.” I don’t think I can express how glad I am that they really focused on packaging because I’m one of those people. The kind of people who carefully and strategically open a box so the packaging will seem untouched. Yay!!
2. There’s a detailed list of apparently 13 production pieces that will have approx. 2000 pieces in production. But then there’s a whole other list of “exclusives” per shop/location. Do you know how much confusion this is bringing to my life? I want to own them all… now not only will I have to deal with blind boxes (if they are in fact blind) but I’ll have to deal with making connections in other cities in order to have them all in my possession. You can check out a lot more at MindStyle’s blog.
p.s. I’m not even sure this post makes any sense… I keep getting distracted from the post.

I know we’ve all seen the latest custom Joker Munny that Lobster Johnson created. It was a homage to Heith Ledger as the Joker and just as I thought Heath captured the evil spirit of the Joker, I thought the same of the custom. It looks so freakishly like Heath, except with a deformed head. Well, have you spotted the great find that ToyCutter posted about? It’s 2D from Gorillaz also Joker-fied! Hit the jump to see the image.
