There have been several Nendoroids I wish I could have gotten my hands on, but this will most likely be my first one I get to add to my collection, luck being that is. Nendoroid #100 was announced and shown off at WonFes as being none other than Mickey Mouse himself!
Granted this doesn't look like your typical Nendoroid, but I'm so excited to get my hands on him either way. He looks a lot less likely to topple over as well, which will definitely come in handy for my set up. So far the date and pricing looks to be a mystery, but it was said it should be sometime this Summer, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!
So we were already teased by Jonathan earlier about the word of their being a Michael Jackson Figma, but now that there's a clear photo of his face sculpt and the rest of him, I'm so happy I could scream! I've been hoping for an MJ Figma since far before he ever passed and now I'm finally getting my wish.
Currently we're getting the Thriller treatment, which is what everyone's all about these days, but I'm hoping they don't just stop there and that we for sure get a Smooth Criminal Mikey. I mean seriously - What better than a poseable figure that could actually do the lean? Well, other than Robo-Michael from the Moonwalker film, that I would absolutely positively go for as well!
I know this just jumped itself to the top of my "I absolutely must have that RIGHT NOW" list, so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for further details such as what goodies are going to come with this Bad boy. At least with its ¥2,800 price tag it's far from a bank breaker! Excuse me, this occasion calls me to break out my moonwalk.
Pierre Rouzier is a phenomenal sculpture artist, and when I first saw his Thriller Fan piece I immediately fell in love. He's now back with a vengeance and has created one of the most adorable little resin dragons I've seen yet. I'm a sucker for dragons and Vapor is no exception, especially since he comes in some of my favorite colors!
With his new cherry (pink), olive (green) and grape (purple) colorways he's only limited to 24 pieces total, with 8 of each color. You can get your order in now at $42 for the 5 1/2" tall figure who's just too cute to say no to, if only my wallet didn't tell me no first. While I'm crying in the corner over not being able to afford him right now, you better hurry and make your choice fast while he's still in stock.
If you need your adorable figure to do something more, you could pre-order the Vapor_2.0 instead which debuts on February 8th and is a fully functional USB port that's just as cute as the regular resin figure. He'll cost you a bit more at $53 but he comes in mango, in addition to the three original colors. I don't know about you but I'll be crossing my fingers in hopes that the toy gods hear my plea for one of these figures because he's just too cute not to want to hug!
I would like to start this off by stating that if I can border my entire room with these I would be the happiest person on Earth! Dark Horse has released information on one of their newest Domo products, and these lights are a sure fire way to brighten up your day.
Set to release on May 19th, 2010 these Domo Party Lights feature five glorious colors including brown, red, yellow, purple and green. The strands are 12 feet long with the lights themselves being around 3 inches tall! They'll retail for $14.99 each, but luckily Things From Another World has them up for pre-order and you can save a few dollars if you order now. They are pre-ordering them out for $11.99 each, so get your orders in now before it's too late!
Kotobukiya has announced plans to produce new goods based on DC characters that will be reinterpreted by Japanese artists. They will begin with two of their coolest new product categories, the DC x Bishoujo line and the Stylized Vinyl figures.
This is to be a whole new approach to the DC characters even from concept to development and production. Kotobukiya plans to create a running series that will set well with the fans, and even steal a few hearts (which I can say they've already got mine.) They have years of experience in the Bishoujo department so I can't wait to see more takes on characters as time goes by. Right now I know I absolutely positively have to get my hands on the SD Joker that's teased in the image below or I'll throw myself a good old fashioned spastic fit!
Stay tuned for new updates relating to the series, as I'll be keeping a close eye out for new photos of these classic DC characters. Psst.. Kotobukiya.. I better be getting an adorable Harley Quinn!
Towards the end of last year Kidrobot released their newest DIY toys with Munnyworld including Rooz, Trikky, Bub and Raffy. Rooz was the first of my new custom endeavors with these new Munnyworld figures, so I used it to create my version of Kanga and Roo from Disney's Winnie the Pooh.
Hit the jump to see what the process to create them looked like!
The dead need love too and now some of my favorite Skelanimals are getting recreated in Qee form! These are pretty much my new obsession now that I can actually get my hands on some. Now Dax, Kit, Marcy, Jack and Chungkee will be taking part in the new Skelanimals x Qee 2.5" Artist Series Collection.
The teaser in the gallery below makes me extremely excited to see what's going to be coming out of this series. It will have a unique spin with the collection including pieces inspired by the original designs that are being done by over 20 of the best designer artists from across the globe.
These will also be able to go with you on the go, as they'll come with the always awesome Qee keychain attachment which has been a longtime staple of the Qee brand. No word yet on when these will be releasing but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on the Qee World Store since this is something I'm betting will be a must have for my collection!
"RB" immediately stole my heart as soon as I saw them, and I fell in love with them once. My heart was then ripped from my body and stepped on repeatedly as soon as I saw the prices on these beautiful creatures.
Ducobi is a company made of extremely talented designers and developers from Korea, Japan and the United States who have a mission to create designer toys for the true toy collectors of the world. They've created these "RB" figures and their main focus with these toys is craftsmanship, which is quite apparent when you see that they are covered in mother-of-pearl inlay and lacquer finish with insane amounts of detail.
Now there's no doubting that they're beautiful figures, but the prices and availability of the pieces vary greatly. Some of the designs are limited to only 10 while others have up to 100, and the prices range from $750 to $1,400. The White Tiger piece (which I am madly in love with along with the Guardian of Organ) has already sold out even though it was one of the highest priced at $1,400 each. Each of them stand around 6 1/2 inches tall and would make a beautiful focus piece for any collection. So what do you think? Would you save that much money to have these pieces shining in your presence?
Living in the Midwest we've had one hell of a winter and my poor toys were getting anxious to make their getaway to the outdoors. Not long ago the snow finally melted enough that they could go out without getting horribly disfigured, or worse, lost. Patch Together's Tentatiger was one of the first to make his break out and boy was he excited to get his picture taken.

It's not every day I can write an article about a custom and say it holds a special place in my heart, and mean that with the most to my ability. Just mere moments ago I received photos of what was to be my very first look at Aki.
I went to Troy Stith with a commission, actually my first one ever to be exact, and gave small thoughts on what I wanted it to turn out like. What I ended up with was so much more. I really wanted something that reminded me of fall, with the leaves changing and the grass starting to brown, as fall is my favorite time of year. Not only did he get that point across remarkably, but this is the most beautiful piece I could have ever asked for.
To think that this great of a piece could come out of a small little Dunny is just breath taking. What are you waiting for? He's always up for commissions so check out his blog and go commission him right now!
