From now on, I will be referring to this book/movie by it’s achronym because it’s got the longest title EVER. =) So, I’m normally not excited about Kubricks– correction, other than the Grand Theft Auto Kubrick set (containing all of the sets released), I haven’t really ever paid attention. But my Mr. is a huge [...]

Just spotted on David Horvath’s twitter, GID IceBats? Icebat is one of my all time favorite characters, it’s the wings– they’re HOT! =) As I’ve noted many times before, I’m addicted to Uglydolls and David Horvath just combined my love for Uglydolls, with the Mr.’s love for GID to create a perfect harmony! I wonder [...]

Woohoo! They’re coming! This past weekend FX International celebrated 20 years in existence, and I’ll admit I don’t know too much about it but I do know that it plays hosts to many geeky goodness that I’m into. The reason I heard about this event was due to their “Project Vinyl” event which brings some [...]

Once more, I’m finally catching up on the numerous things I’ve wanted to blog about but keep putting off due to vacation bliss. =) Dacosta posted the image above some time last week and I’ve been meaning to share for a while. I love his DCTO project which I’ve blogged about a couple of times [...]

Last week I spotted the following tweet from MAD: As soon as I spotted the post, I began to rack my brain about what figure the two agreed to turn into a metal sculpture. It seems “Modern Hero” takes the cake. The figure, like previous FullyVisual releases will be a run of 100 pieces, 99 [...]

Kidrobot has just announced an upcoming release that has me feeling giddy all over. Tara McPherson’s “Gamma Mutant Space Friends” blindbox series will be released on April 23rd, hosting 2 well-known characters (Ace and Ion), along with some new kick ass characters. I have officially decided that I want; Ace, Ion and the Dracula looking [...]

A while back, not too long ago, I heard of a team called “64 Colors” through JapanLA. Turns out, JapanLA hired them to create a super cute/yummy print exclusively for them– and they just that by producing some of the tastiest, yet too kawaii to eat donut characters. Soon after I spotted the JapanLA post [...]

If you’re a tokidoki fan, I’m sure you’ve spotted the flyer above somewhere announcing the invasion of tokidoki in NY. Well, I’d gotten this flyer about 2 weeks ago, or so, and was under the impression that the shop would be opening this upcoming weekend. I was wrong, as so was most of the world [...]

Above you’ll find an image I just swagged from Artoyz’s Flickr. The fellow above, created by Superduex, is one of the water variants that will soon be released. I’m finding that I am really looking forward to some of the designs that will be released from the Alpha Series. I am really loving the 8Bit [...]

Last Thursday was a pretty hectic day for me, with private affairs and not one, but two events happening that night, I was surprised I was able to keep all my dates. My first stop of the two events was Bossy Bear and Friends’ invasion of Yoyamart. In the photo above you’ll spot David Horvath [...]

Photo taken by: ThatGirl One of my main concerns during this year’s NYCC, was that my Mr. get a chance to test the upcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game game. See, the Mr. is a huge fan of the Ghostbusters, so much so, that this past Christmas I gifted him “The Real Ghostbusters: The Complete Collection” [...]

I’ve been lucky enough to follow most, if not all of Brent Nolasco’s career within the designer toy world. Brent is an amazing person and an abundantly talented artist. Brent’s got some of the sickest customs out there and really does a great job of taking a platform piece and making it his own. Now, [...]

I ran into Steve Talkowski creator (and guide really through the toy making process on his flickr) of Sketchbot. He had a 3D model fresh off the printer with him and I loved it. Though the piece is still a blank, Sketchbot had a great feel and weight to it. Steve did an amazing job [...]

Upon entering the massive floor plan that is the Javitz Center, one of the displays that welcomed me into this year’s comic con was GTA: Chinatown Wars’ location at the entrance. I haven’t had much pleasure playing this series in general– I can’t focus on it for some reason, unlike my younger brother who has [...]

It’s been over a week since NYCC invaded New York and I’m finally getting down to business and posting some of the things that caught my eye. First up, at Toy Tokyo’s booth, they had Doktor A’s Mechtorians on display. I hadn’t gotten a chance to see them in person, but now that I have [...]

For a while now, kaNO has been dropping sneak peeks of his upcoming Hi-Def figure and it had many of us curious about what exactly it would be. On Friday, during ToyQube’s Grand Re-Opening party, I was lucky enough to see the upcoming NYCC black colorway Hi-Def! pictured above. I’m thinking that I’ll definitely want [...]

I haven’t posted about tokidoki in a while, therefore, I’m quite delighted to share the uber cuteness that are the Adios and Ciao Ciao plushies. I posted about Mozzarella and Sandy almost a year ago, and although I do not have Sandy yet (I got caught up buying lots of other things), the Mr. surprised [...]
