I Heart Cool Stuff

Well, I am quite grateful that MINDstyle will be producing a second series of Kathie’s Scavenger Children figures. I am in love with Kathie Olivas, I believe I profess my love for her every time I get a chance to write about her, and was delighted when her first series was announced. I unfortunately thought that the figures were being held for me, and they were gone when I went to collect. Woops! Clearly I was crushed, but thank the lords that there were SDCC exclusives which came along with the announcement of her second series.

So, what is in store for us with this series? Well, from the looks of it, more of her crazier designs like the squid girl pictured above(squid from Brandt) and I wants me a raygun!! Hit the jump to see more. [Via.] (more…)

The fella above is most recognized as the Robot who came on the screen before the phenomena that was Cloverfield. Others will recognize him from LOST, but I don’t watch the show (sue me), therefore, I cannot relate. I have to comment that when I went to see Cloverfield, I was highly distracted by the thought of this robot, and now, Bad Robot has brought their mascot/logo to 3D form. I’m not sure whether he’s coming to us in vinyl form, resin, metal or wood; but he’s arriving in a limited batch of 500 pieces. What do I say? Sign me up for one please, stat!

I love ROBOTS and since I’d spotted him on the big screen– I was already dreaming about owning him. Had I been at Comic Con this weekend, I would’ve headed over to their booth to try to win one of the 3 robots being given away. Damn it! Why?!! There are unfortunately no more details, but I hope someone who’s at the con reads this and tried to find out tomorrow, yes? Thank you.

I’ve been waiting for the release of this little guy (and his super comfy speaker chair) since a little before NYCC, when I got the pleasure of seeing and holding it. Aren’t you jealous? I love tokyoplastic, will always be in love with their animations (Drum Machine is #1).

The little lazy bum pictured above is going to make his way to San Diego next week, when ToyQube (#4837)releases a limited amount of them. Be there ASAP to get your own, or be patient and wait for September. No word on the exact price yet, but remember, this will make a GREAT addition to your TokyoPlastic Geishas.

Word on the street (the GamaGo blog) is that GamaGo is going to have a GIANT Kill! Deathbot available for sale during SDCC. I own the original 5″ [?] Deathbot and I think he’s okay. My need to own him really had to do with him being a robot and made out of wood, and though the larger one is pretty much the exact same thing– I am quite shocked at how much more I LOVE it. I think it has something to do with how large it is. And, it’s also made out of wood which makes it more substantial and impressive. I have no details on cost, but they will be limited to 100 pieces and that they’ll be shipped for free in the US.

I believe kaNO!’s (((Hi-Def))) has been circulating the internet already. When I first peeped the image, I was a little bit confused because there was a Sharky in the shot and I wasn’t sure which piece was kaNO’s. Silly me. After some clarification, I have to say I’m excited. So far, whatever it is, already looks so different from his Money Grip. [image from kaNO!'s flickr] Hit the jump for Huck’s teaser.
