Although the news has been shared on several toy site– many of my friends and up-and-coming artists that I’m a fan of are going to be a part of Toy2R’s upcoming Skelanimal’s series and I felt the need to share and support. Oh, yet another long arse sentence, sorry about that. According to the press [...]

The show will feature the works of 50 well-known artists and customizers, including Walter Jacott’s, aka Chauskoskis. Hit the jump to get an exclusive look at his awesome custom and some words [...]

I’ve got to give it to Jeremy Madl, I don’t always dig his style– but my heart melts anytime a new MadL hits the market. His platform is one of my favorite platforms ever. To me, it doesn’t matter if it’s blank of whether its adorned with someone else’s art (or his own for that [...]

It’s obvious that I would love anything produced by Podgy. I mean, he created my character along with the Mr.’s and several banners– he helps put a face on my site. And, when he told me he was going to be participating in The Renmen Project– I reached a new level of excitement. The Renmen [...]

I spotted this post on VinylPulse a couple of days ago, and since have been obsessing a little about the newest addition to the Mr. Lapin family. I was lucky enough to score an all black one two years ago from the lovely Colette (1st lady of Tomopop) and later that same year scraped up [...]

Can you guess where I’ll be on December 10th? If you guessed Factory Fresh in Brooklyn, you were right! Yay, cookies for all. ^_^ I just recieved an email from Factory Fresh about their upcoming show, Fresh Geezers. The show will feature the works of London Police and Galo. I’m honestly looking forward to this [...]

Thanks to the power of twitter, I spotted the VPEast post about an upcoming MPHLabs resin figure. I have no idea what it is, but I must admit that I have become a HUGE fan of MPHLabs since their Koguma releases and can’t wait to see what’s next. While I’m on the subject, whatever happened [...]

Scene: Fairytales Fights from I Heart Cool Stuff on Vimeo. At this year’s AnimeFest, we were lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the upcoming Fairytales Fights video game by Playlogic. The game is based on “reject” fairytale characters, including Jack from Jack and the Bean Stalk and Red from Little Red Riding Hood. [...]

Scene: Sushi Poppers at NYAF from I Heart Cool Stuff on Vimeo. On our first day at the New York Anime Festival, we chose to take things slow and just walk around. We wanted to make sure we didn’t blow all our money in one location, not that I had much to begin with. As [...]

MAD has officially released more information on that sneak peek I’d posted about a few days ago. What I thought would be the mini madl artist’s series, is actually a collaboration between FullyVisual and himself. Although no artist series or mini madl vinyls make me a bit sad, I really am looking to the very [...]

We’re nearing September, and that means that we’re just a couple of days away from Pinkghost‘s release of their first Chubby Books Artist Series. I remember spotting a sneak peak of their project on twitter, and was jumping for joy when I recognized the artists they were working with. Now, with their big reveal, my [...]

I love waking up to a buttload of good news and emails. Today’s good news included the upcoming release of the much anticipated Cranston Fellows Jr. figure by Lou Pimentel. If you’re familiar with the site, then you know that the Mr. and I are both huge fans of Lou’s– and it helps that he’s [...]

Here is a very downscaled and highly edited list of the items I really want from SDCC. Thankfully, to a certain degree, due to the economy, there aren’t many releases this year. At the end of the post I’ll add up how much all of this would cost me if I was there. First on [...]

When KidRobot released their Simpson’s toys, it caused a rucus amongst collectors. The Simpson’s toys posed a bit of a problem in regards to whether or not they were “designer” toys or not. I didn’t really focus on this problem, because I’ll admit that I liked them. I liked that they were warped into this [...]

I’ll start off by saying that I’ve never really been into Kaiju. In case you’re not sure what kaiju is, it literally means monster or strange beast. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that kaiju figures tend to be monsters. Well, though I’ve never really been into kaiju– this summer, Super7 is at the top of [...]

During this year’s ToyFair, one of the missions I had to complete for my Mr. was to get more info on the release of the Ghostbusters MiniMates. I’ve mentioned numerous times that the Mr.’s a HUGE fan and resembles that Nintendo 64 kid whenever something from Ghostbusters is released. I managed to track the MiniMates [...]

phew! It seems I am finally recovering from whatever kind of infecion it is I have. Yay! With health improvement, I find that I have some energy to finally catch up on posts. And so, I start with the Wood Grain Qees. I got an email last week about the release of these figures– which [...]

Last week MPHLabs subscribers got a sneak peek of their upcoming figure. I, being the huge fan of Lou that I am, recognized it immediately! It’s Cranston!! It seems I’m not the only one who thinks so, many people on the net [SpankyStokes in particular] went as far as to piece together the “full” figure [...]

VPEast posted a wrap-up of this weekend’s MOCCA Festival, and among their pictures, taken by kaNO nonetheless– there was the above photo of Andrew Bell. He is holding what is to be his next figure! Woohoo! From what I can see, the figure he’s holding is based on the print above. Funny enough, I LOVE [...]
