Finally! Erick unveils Chelly, Chelly Chainsaw. I have to admit that I’m really loving the figure. It has a lot to do with the fact that it’s really touching base with my violent side and I’m imagining Chelly chainsawing all my designer toys. That would be a disaster, and yet, I get a kick out of imagining just that. I’m not sure how much Chelly is going to retail for, but we finally get to see what she looks like. In other news… (more…)
Have you submitted your photo to October Toys’ contest? Don’t remember what it’s about? You seriously have to pay attention people. In order to get a chance to win the exclusive Dragon Con Aubrie, you need to post a photo of yourself with your Scavengers collection. I have a feeling I’m going to get disqualified, simply because I’m holding my KO dunny, which is technically NOT a Scavenger. If such is the case, then a couple of others will get eliminated too. Anyway, the above photo is my entry. Now head on over and submit your photo, NOW!
Jon Burgerman has just posted the fella above. I’m a little confused about the description he gave on his Flickr, take a look:
Tiny Hero (made giant) + The Gobbler (made tiny) + massive Dunny from Kid Robot x Stu Witter mad custom skillz + Burgerdoodles = Supercrazy Hero-Gobbler-Dunny Custom edition of one.
Though I am confused about the description, (from what I gather tiny character made big through kidrobot’s 20″ dunny?) I think he looks super cute. He actually looks like a super hero, and I would love it if KidRobot considered making him 8″ for the masses. According to Jon, the dunny will be traveling to KidRobot locations to be on display. I LIKE!

Oh Kathie, it’s like, you heard me beg for more of your stuff (at affordable prices) and made it happen. I love you, seriously. Alright, maybe I’m in love with your work, I’ll stop creeping you out now.
Anyway, it’s officially been annouced, MindStyle will be release Series 2 of Kathie’s beloved Scavengers, and it seems they’ll be made available by October. Awesome! I’ve already decided I want them all, but more specefically the squid girl (because it’s a collaboration between her and Brandt) and I want RAYGUN!! I believe they’ll retail for the same price Series 1 retailed for, but who knows, I’m sure MindStyle noticed the jackpot they hit with these figures and might consider jacking up the price tag a bit. I want anyway. Gimme!!

Hey!! Pay attention. Someone has been quite kick-ass and left a comment that contained news of a contest OctoberToys is having. What’s it involve? The ever so lovely and sophisticated Kathie Olivas’ exclusive Dragon Con Scavenger. How can you enter? All you’ve got to do is take a photo with your current collection of Scavengers. On September 24th, a winner will be picked and you could become the owner of a purple colorway of Aubrie (right?).
I’m totally entering this contest! I unfortunately got screwed over just a bit when it came to these figures (the person who was supposed to hold them for me forgot!)– so I’ve been trying to get my hands on anything I can get– which at this point means exclusives and the upcoming Series 2. BTW, if you have doubles of any– you should totally contact me and I can buy some off of you, please.
Anyway, make sure you make your way to October Toys and enter. Good Luck!! I hope I win, so my apologies for being part of the competition. =)
As soon as I got wind of these news, from my GID obsessed Mr., I knew I had to share. Andrew Bell is quite an awesome artist. I’ve bugged him twice for sketches for my book and I love them. I wasn’t around for many of his releases, so whenever that happens I always get a special kind of excited because I’m getting the chance to support artists when I was unable to for a while.
Anyway, Andrew’s upcoming KidReaper, due to release October 16th is nothing short of AWESOME. Not only is it a reaper, but it glows!! This is clearly going to be purchased for the Mr. and I think with a $50 price tag, it’s quite worth it, don’t you agree?
A while back I’d written about UbiSoft and the awesome free swag they gave away. Thanks to a very special lady (danke once more woman!) I was able to get my hands on the set (pictured above by me). I love the Raving Rabbids and to have an entire set of them that represents some of UbiSoft’s popular titles makes me super giddy inside.
This morning, another awesome lady (the pimp) sent me a link to an article from Kotaku. It seems UbiSoft has sort of extended their kindness by offering to sell the rabbids on their site. They’re not there yet, but soon, they will be. Along with the individual boxes witch are also in theme with the games they represent (Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassin’s Creed and of course the Raving Rabbids)– they have added an additional character. I want me a plunger holding Rabbid now please. Woohoo!! I will try to update when they become available, but for now let’s bask in the opportunity to be able to buy them.
P.S. I am officially a Dean in a NYC middle school/high school— therefore, please apologize my lack of posting. I’m getting the hang of my busy schedule. Hopefully I shall resurface strong. -saki
