I Heart Cool Stuff

It’s been a week and I’m still catching up on NYCC. MPH had an incredibly busy booth with all their exclusives and signings. Among those exclusives were 5 sets of custom vivisect figures created by Brent Nolasco. I have yet to purchase any of the vivisect blindboxes, mainly because I’ve been purchasing a bunch of other stuff and preparing for NYCC, but how I wish I had the loot to purchase Brent’s customs. I think he did an amazing job, completely changed the look and feel of these already cool figures. As the label says though, they’re all sold out! If you haven’t checked out his stuff before, I highly recommend you head over to his flickr page (which also contains better images of the customs above) and maybe contact him about creating a custom for you.

Today begins the weekend I’ve been looking forward to for a while. Actually, Mad’s show last night was really the kickoff to what I see as the weekend of “awesomeness!” I’m going to try my very best to do a couple of things this weekend. 1. Not go BROKE!! 2. Try my best to post pictures from NYCC. 3. Have fun!

The above are some of the places I’ll be at. I’m hoping to chat with Erick Scarecrow and possibly pick up one of his figures. I really wanted to pick up the Kissaki, but then I realized that I confused the Kissaki colors for some that were on the Kaiju figure and now I’m having doubts. But, I look forward to seeing the man in person and stealing his soul. There a couple other things/signings I plan attending, but I’ll update at the end of the day. See you at the con if you go.

I just opened my email to Erick’s NYCC surprise. I have to say that I am a huge fan of Erick’s Liberty, that figure looks amazing. This Kissaki figure is up there in terms of my love for it. I want it, it could be because “saki” is in it, or the fact that she’s got two swords with fists at the end. Either way, the figure will be released during NYCC and it’ll cost you$69.99.

When MPH first released the image of their tokidoki exclusives, [see here], I was uber excited. Like this:

Then I found out that in order to get the newest additions, I was going to have to submit myself, and wallet, to blind boxes again. What’s that mean? These three additions will be included in the regular blind boxes that were originally released. That means I might have to get 7 latte’s again before I get a rice milk. Clearly, my smile turned into this:

I’d known when MPH posted the above image that their surprise was going to be Tokidoki’s Sandy in a platinum colorway. I was excited for the release, because Sandy is actually one of my favorite characters, which by the way, I’ve recently noticed I don’t own. She’s green and spiky, uh– that just automatically means she rules. How do you think I reacted when I saw the latest photo release?

She looks so wonderful in silver! Even more exciting is the addition of more moofia blind boxes. I knew they were going to be releasing a pink milk figure, she was printed on the inside of Mozzarella’s packaging, so it was about time, but I totally did not expect the rice milk and half-&-half. AWESOME!!

So now, I ask the inevitable questions: Who’s going to NYCC? And when are we meeting up?!! I’ll be roaming around all weekend, because I can.
