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 [...]

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 [...]

NYCC really does bring some of the best times to New York. Now in it’s 4th year, it is becoming one of my yearly highlights and it’s all due to the releases and abundance of artists that I get to meet within the weekend. Kidrobot is just adding to the awesomeness that is this upcoming [...]

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 [...]

Ah, David Ugly (I have officially re-named him) has just dropped the word that the Uglydoll action figures will definitely be available for NYCC. It was rumored, or hoped better said, that they would be available for Uglycon which took place last Saturday, but it seems they just weren’t ready. That’s alright though, because I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
