I hope you are all gearing up for tomorrow's
Toy Art Gallery “Brain Evolution” Jumping Brain Custom Group Show... because if the picture above is not reason enough to go, I don't know what is. Artist
DrilOne knocks another one outta the park with his eroded rusting on this resin figure, and to add to it... he created a custom gasmask and riveted the entire piece out giving it some seriously cool texture. Be sure to come out to see this piece, as well as soooo many others in person!

Do you recognize that truck... yuuuup, it's the
Cookies-n-Cream mobile shop!!! But why would we be talking about this again... since we covered it over a year ago, well because that backdrop is not the mean streets of New York City... in fact we are writing this article to let all of you know that they are happy to announce the addition of a second mobile shop that will be based in Los Angeles. This will be a Los Angeles and surrounding areas based shop, and will carry all items that you can also find at the New York mobile shop. In addition to that, they will also be releasing exclusive items occasionally that you can only get from the LA or NY mobile shop.... and just like the NYC location, you can follow this mobile shop on twitter via
@TheCookiesMobLA to find out where they are at all times! Congrats guys, this is awesome!

How's that old saying go... better late then never, well that is totally the case with this review as I have been foolishly sitting on these 3 figures for over a year now, just getting into reviewing them, and alot has happened in that span of a year. One major thing is that Rocketworld, the awesome company that made them, is on a temporary hiatus... and I am not even sure if they will ever come back... so these are seriously special! These 3 figures were released at SDCC 2010 as a special Star Trek/Rocketworld crossover and boy did they do a great job. In the LIVE review above we touch on many point, from the packaging to all the accessories and the figures themselves... as well as hint at a little giveaway... read on :-)
This exclusive Star Trek set of figures includes
Capt. Titus, Lt. Commander Hannibal, and
Commander Affonso who you might recognize are dressed up versions of Rocketworlds Insurgents Wilderness Gruppo characters! These are officially licensed projects from CBS/Paramount studios and came with accurately reproduced Star Trek TOS accessories and were limited to just
300 pieces each worldwide, and
retailed for $50 each... so sweet!!! Take a minute or two and watch the video above, and be on the lookout for this entire set to be given away for one of our
FREE GOODIE FRIDAY contests... hmmmmm, tomorrow's Friday right?!?!?!

So check this out, Phil over at
TYO Toys has been working on a few custom Dumpsters of his own and found that the sides of the dumpsters have this perfect slot where you can keep new or used xacto blades... and Lord knows most designers/artists go through a ton of those... so this is a great way to store em, and look good while doing it! Also, check out that dumpster on the right... he added some fingerboard wheels/trucks to one, so he can knock it out the way easily when his hands are tied... rad! Oh, and if you were wondering these DIY Dumpsters are available
HERE right now for only $14 a pop!
Phil also wanted to share a little sticker campaign that he has started to hopefully single-highhandedly save USPS from going bankrupt, some may agree with this, but those of us who have had our problems with this mail carrier could care less, but he recently sent out a bunch of the COPE2 trucks with labels like the ones you see above... would be interesting to see if they actually got shipped :-) If you wanna see what TYO Toys is up to, be sure to follow them on their Flickr site
HERE as they update on a constant basis!

Feast your eyes on this one of a kind clay sketch/figure by Mike "NemO" Mendez dubbed "The Zombie Patient", this guy stands approx 7" tall and was hand crafted by
Bad Applez INC's own Mike "NemO" Mendez using magic sculpt, super sculpey and acrylic paint... gotta love zombies, and the details are insane on this piece! The best part about pulling the trigger on it in the online store
HERE is that it will never be produced again so basically you are purchasing a one-off sculpture! BRAINS!!!!!!!
