POCKET BASEBALL BOY
DEBUT YELLOW
After millennia napping in the pyramid, it is time to get out and play ball! Joining our Pocket Series is the debut release of BASEBALL BOY! Sporting (sorry!) an entirely new head sculpt, this little guy is cast in yellow vinyl, with a black & white baseball cap, and bright red stitching. His round, mummified belly is highlighted with an orange spray. Baseball Boy stands 3” tall and is comprised of high-quality Japanese vinyl. Created by Brian Flynn.
FOSSILLA
DEBUT GREY GOOP
Giant monsters attack our cities! Where have these strange beasts come from? What can be done to stop their deadly rampage? To save the world, we must….DESTROY ALL KAIJU!
After an untimely meteor ended his rampage much too early, this deadly dino sunk deep into the Earth and was reborn in modern day as the unstoppable FOSSILLA! His flesh may have “crudely” sloughed from his (now exposed) bones and metamorphosed to a disgusting oily goop, but somewhere in that slop are feet that have been waiting millions of years to stomp on buildings. The highly-anticipated Debut release of FOSSILLA sees the kaiju cast in unpainted grey vinyl. He stands 9” tall and is articulated at the head, arms, and legs. This collectible toy also comes with a bonus “anatomy lesson” backing card. Joshua Herbolsheimer’s newest creature creation!
TAOKING
IRRADIATED GLOW IN THE DARK
The signature Kaiju from Geof Darrow and Frank Miller's legendary comic The Big Guy And Rusty The Boy Robot, TAOKING has been reimagined in the style of classic Japanese toys as part of the DESTROY ALL KAIJU line. Sculpted by Cosmo Liquid, TAOKING comes alive when the lights go down, as this toy made from Glow-in-the-Dark vinyl! Green, blue, and red sprays highlight his form along with metallic silver detailing. The 9” tall TAOKING features and articulated outer arms, legs, and tail.
FOSTER
CARAMEL & CREAM
From the haunted bakery to your shelf - the Kandy Kaiju are monstrously cute confections. But be careful….you won’t be able to eat collect just one of these 3” sized Japanese vinyl figures! These new Kandy Kaiju characters now come in illustrated header card packaging. Everyone’s favorite cannibal cookie is back in a delicious new flavor: caramel coated vinyl with a creamy vanilla sprayed center. Designed by Brian Flynn.
MILTON
RAINBOW SHERBET
The walking ice-cream cone is now a struttin’ sherbet spire! MILTON is rocking a rainbow of flavors: strawberry, lime, and lemon sprays over a brown vinyl cone. These new Kandy Kaiju characters now come in illustrated header card packaging. A snack-sized 3” tall figure designed by Brian Flynn.
PUMPKIN BOY
SKULLETOR
The Jack-O-Lantern rendition of Super7’s company mascot Mummy Boy returns in Skulletor colors! PUMPKIN BOY is cast in sky blue vinyl with dark blue, yellow-green, red, and purple sprays. This big bundle of mummified vinyl stands 6” tall and is jointed at the neck and arm. PUMPKIN BOY is created by Brian Flynn.
ZOMBIEFIGHTER
MARBLED RED SWIRL
Super7 x Secret Base! Deep red swirled vinyl motivates the ZOMBIEFIGHTER to make it to the next round. Crisply detailed with multiple color sprays: black, green, yellow, and grey. The ZOMBIEFIGHTER measures almost 6 inches tall and features articulated arms and neck.
ROSE VAMPIRE CASKET CRUISER
CHOCOLATE RACER
The warmth of the San Diego sun has helped Joshua Herbolsheimer’s vampiric garden bloom a beautiful yellow flower, as the ROSE VAMPIRE CASKET CRUISER tears up the highway on the way to Comic Con! With a rose head cast in yellow vinyl and a “pinebox derby” coffin cast in wooden brown, this popular toy is decorated with red, green, blue sprays with metallic gold detailing for the handles and headlights. The Chocolate Racer is a high-quality Japanese vinyl figure, approximately 4 inches long, with free-rolling wheels.
MONSTER FAMILY
A collaborative project between Super7 and our favorite artist friends, the MONSTER FAMILY is a collection of diverse creatures, from the cute to the creepy. Each figure stands approximately 4 inches tall and is made from high-quality Japanese vinyl. A mystery ticket is hidden at random in one SDCC 2012 Monster Family figure – find it and redeem for a one-of-a-kind custom mash-up toy! Could it be in one of the following six toys?
FREDERICK THE BEETLE
GLITTERING PINK
Forget all about John, Paul, George, & Ringo and let FREDERICK be the next beetle you add to your collection. Cast in translucent pink vinyl with silver glitter throughout, FREDERICK is strikingly toned with various shades of blue, purple, and silver sprays. Bwanna Spoons’ character is a two-piece vinyl figure articulated at the waist, and measures 4” tall.
HOLLIS TURD
DEBUT SUMMER JAMS
A mash-up of Le Merde’s popular characters – Hollis’ head meets Le Turd’s body to form the brand new HOLLIS TURD! This figure brings the Summer Jams with its flesh colored vinyl and multiple sprays: blue, white purple, red, and black detailing around his yellow eyes. HOLLIS TURD is a two-piece Japanese vinyl figure articulated at the neck, measuring 4” tall.
HONOO
TRANSLUCENT PINK
Translucent pink vinyl brings an added charm to Leecifer’s great design of HONOO (aka the flame). Standing 4” tall on his brown kindling legs, the translucence is accentuated with blue, orange, yellow, and white sprays. HONOO burns up your collection as a two-piece Japanese vinyl figure articulated at the neck.
LEROY C.
TRANSLUCENT GREEN
The world’s happiest dinosaur is rendered with exacting care to be authentic to the very last detail of the giant lizards of prehistory. Okay, we may have gotten bad info from wikipedia or something, but we definitely remember someone saying that all dinosaurs were translucent green and 4 inches tall so that’s what we went by. Maybe it isn’t so accurate after all, but that doesn’t make this toy any less sweet! Just take LEROY C to your toy shelf and not the Smithsonian and everything will be fine. Invisible Creature’s dino creation is highlighted with red, white, black, yellow, and green sprays. This two piece vinyl figure is jointed at the neck.
LITTLE PRICK
GLOW IN THE DARK GREEN
As the sun sets on the Mojave, Brian Flynn’s LITTLE PRICK illuminates the desert darkness! Cast in glow-in-the-dark vinyl, this cactus critter is accentuated with green & yellow sprays, with his tighty-whities being colored accordingly. Made in Japan, this two piece vinyl figure is jointed at the waist.
POWER MISTER
TRANSLUCENT GREY GLITTER
Ugly Doll creators Sun-Min & David Horvath bring their sensibilities to the Monster Family line with the nicely gloved and much loved POWER MISTER! Made from translucent grey vinyl mixed with shining metallic glitter, POWER MISTER is detailed with dark grey, black, white, and piercing pink for his wild eyes.

I am a huge fan of both
The Rolling Stones and
Shepard Fairey so this was unexpected and awesome all at once. Before I read the article which inspired this one, I was unsure how I felt. One of my favorite logos of all time was getting a make-over?? Alas, this is a perfect co-lab and I think Shepard did an amazing job at executing the task at hand. Happy 50 years, WOO!

Cut-up master
Carson Catlin has taken his x-acto blade to an 18-inch-tall Mega Munny for the first time, covering the form in a multitude of fantastic and intricate shapes. The piece is entitled "Somewhat Hulky," a reference to the comic book character… probably inspired by the green giant residing within the fleshy pink exterior of this custom.
"Somewhat Hulky" was made exclusively for
Dragatomi's 2012
San Diego Comic-Con booth (#4935), at which this massive form will retail for $1000.

Gus & Emi are an artistic duo that hope to take the world by creative storm in a variety of mediums… but they lack money. So, as many do in this day and age, they turn to
Kickstarter to try and fund their empire. While I think they may have been smarter to try each project individually, they opted to place everything in a single campaign with a rather large goal. That all said, they do have some fantastically fun looking pieces as reward tiers: the Chubby Robot plush (pictured above) for $23, the Miko & Cola pair of plush kitties for $44, and the fuzzy blue Monster Bag for $100. There's actually a lot more cool looking stuff on their
Kickstarter page, but those are the three that leaped out at me!

Is there anything cooler than a monstrous man behind the wheel of a hotrod? Okay, so yes, there are quite a few things… but it is still a damn cool image! Used to promote the
Blink-182 with
The All-American Rejects and
Royal Republic concert at the
Festhalle in Frankfurt, Germany on June 26th, 2012, this 22.5" x 35" eight-color screen printed piece is limited to only 100 signed & numbered copies. Designed by
Frank Kozik, these prints were not available at the show and thus are exclusive to
his online shop… which they will be released into today, June 28th at 12 Noon PST for $65 each.

As we all bite our nails waiting for the impending release of
Most Wanted Series 3, we finally get to see one of the last remaining release in the blind boxed custom series:
MAp-MAp's insanely sculpted 3-inch figure, of which there will be only two in the series (1/56 ratio). The UK artist does have a second design (also 1-in-56) within the series, which — we have on good authority — is a variant of this design, but significantly different enough to merit being considered a completely different piece. As we've come to expect from the Most Wanted Crew, detailed sculpting paired with a finely painted form… yes, easily another home run for the MW team!
The Most Wanted Series 3 blind boxed custom series will have a majority release on Saturday, June 30th at 12 Noon PST and second, smaller drop on Monday, July 9th at 6PM PST. Each blind box will cost $98 (shipping not included) and be available in the
Most Wanted online store.
For a recap of the previously announced pieces in this series as well as the ratios, please visit our post

Blade in the shadows, the legend says that he will be long gone before the body fall on the ground. Raised by the streets, he has learned to blend in his surrounding, playing with his prey until the panic breaks through the toughest defense. From the darkness, he strike, a move perfectly aimed... His victim is no more.
As we
previously announced,
ArtmyMind created a second custom to accompany the release of "Higitsune" in their online shop last night: the above pictured custom 4" Trikky entitled "Kuroi Ookami" (
trans. "Black Wolf"). It's actually designed very similarly to "Higitsune," more of a variant version than companion piece. Regardless, the meticulous sculpting, hand-sewn clothing and custom made accessory make this piece worth the $300 that was being asked for it.
But, as a special surprise, the artistic duo released a third piece last night as well: the 4" custom Munny named "Chusa Ankoku" (
trans. "Commander Darkness").
Chusa Ankoku… A name feared on the battleground by his enemy as much as his own men. His blade slash through everything crossing his path, driven by an inextinguishable rage. Only one thing matters… Who stays up at the end of the day and who rot[s] on the ground.
This piece, which was a steal at $240, once again features ArtmyMind's skillful customization: lots of sculpted elements that appear production perfect, hand-sewn clothing that look tailor made, and a weapon accessory that's battle ready! Alas, both these pieces sold out from
their online store almost immediately. It's been amazing to watch ArtmyMind rise in popularity and demand in the last year, taking their rightful place higher in the customizing food chain.

I can only imagine how this came about, with
Luke Chueh and
Scott Tolleson in a room together, shouting elements at one another: frowny face, argyle top, sad eyes with a single tear, buddy holly glasses… And somewhere, far off, Holly Stanway —
A Little Stranger — was shaking her head and thinking "What did I get myself into here?" For it was Stanway's job to breathe plushy life into the design created by Chueh and Tolleson together. Named "Bart," the fluffy bear is currently making his way to the
San Diego Comic-Con so that fans might get a sneak peak of the prototype and beginning lusting for the final release. So be on the lookout for Bart… he'll be there!
*** UPDATE *** Luke Chueh, sadly, informs us that "it'll be a while before it's real," as in more than the prototype shown above and heading to SDCC.

Kong Andri, the second place winner for Best Munny in this year's Munnyworld Contest, created this wonderful 3" Dunny and 1.5" Labbit custom set entitled "Uncle Chop." Andri describes the design as "A pig butcher whose gone mad when a piece of carrot plugged itself to his head. Now, controlled by that carrot, Uncle Chop is on a prowl looking for labbits to kill."
There's a lot of clean line work here and lovely little touches, like the labbit outline on his apron. Written on his back is the kanji for — I believe — "butcher man," which makes sense given the design. Instead of simply selling this piece, Andri has decided to do a silent auction to find an owner for it.
Between now and Saturday, June 30th at 8PM Indonesian time (which is 6AM on Saturday PST), e-mail
contact [at] mynewobsession [dot] net with your full name, phone number, e-mail address and the amount of your bid. Bids do not include shipping & handling costs and no bid under $30 will be considered. Best of luck to all hoping to win this beautiful piece!

Last night,
Jesse Hernandez posted up a very revealing photo on his Instagram account... and it's of that beautiful "Shadow" version of his Mecha Azteca figure which is being produced by
RAJE TOYS. Up until now, we had only seen an actual physical version of the "OG" version
HERE and a rendered picture of the "Jungle" version
HERE... so it's great to actually see some production samples popping up... and damn does it look good! This 12" tall figure features some seriously bold lines all of which are a blend of urban influences inspired by the original "Gaiking" mecha. So... now that we have seen this, does that mean that we will see these retailing soon... I sure hope so! More info soon!!!
