Kuso Vinyl, has self-released the newest incarnation of the figure: The Forest Warlord!

BravoTV has a new reality show entitled "
Gallery Girls" premiering August 13th, which follows seven young women who dream of breaking into the cutthroat world of New York City gallery life. And, as the above photo shows, none other than
The Sucklord himself will be in the first season. And if you browse through the
Sneak Peak photos, there are quite a few shots from Sucklord's "Occupy Cybertron" exhibition… Could his presence be more of a regular for the first series rather than a single episode? I don't know, but I'm dying to find out!

San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), releasing a vast horde of customized goodies for attendees to snatch up. The most recent thing to appear is a series of twelve customized Destroyer figures by
Invisible Creature, which DrilOne has given his rusty military treatment to (as seen above).
And these will also come with custom dog tags and packaged in release specific painted ammo crates. No word on which booth these wonderfully pieces will be dropping in — or at what price point — but we'll update you when we find out.

In conjunction with
Ink It Labs, artist
Chris Ryniak teamed up to create a really cool looking wooden pop out diorama set which features his "Sitty Headleaf" character along with some obvious vegetation found in the "
Bugglestump Forest". This set is going to be up for grabs during SDCC 2012 at
Dragatomi's booth #4935 for just $50 each... oh, and there are only 50 of these at the con... with them being an open edition! I love the different material used, and the way it is displayed... and hope we see other artist out there pushing other mediums just like Chris has... bravo!

When
we announced the Bite Size Ice Scream Men blind boxed series and provided you a ratio guide, we noted that there would be a "super-rare-mega-awesome, never before seen golden ticket chase" in the series of 2.5" to 3" tall
Brutherford made beauties… And there it is, a wonderful Kevin "
HonkeyLips" Herdeman kaiju-fied Ice Scream Man Mini (much like the one we talked about
HERE). But now I'm confused, as the 1-in-100 Golden Ticket Chase figure is an inside the box prize and yet there it is with a physical Golden Ticket?!? Hmm, it seems Brutherford has cooked up something amazing for us!
The Bite Size Ice Scream Men series is released today (June 29th, 2012) at 3PM EST in Brutherford's online shop for $15 each.

Fans of Simone Legno's ever-popular
tokidoki brand should prepare themselves, for the punks are coming into town! That's right, tokidoki have announced a brand new collection: the Punkstars!
Meet Punkstar, a band of neighborhood kids who got together to restore an abandoned karaoke machine factory into the ULTIMATE hangout. At the Punkstar den, there are four gigantic floors and tons of space to practice everyone’s passions - from music, to art, to skating!
But let's meet the actual figures, set to start dropping in July 2012: on the far left above is the 3" tall Rudy the punk dog vinyl figure which will cost $9.95 each and next to him is the fantastically 9-inch-tall Maxx plush, scheduled to only set you back a mere $19.95 in the stores. And soon after the others release, as seen on the far right above, we have a brand new blind boxed series, the inaugural Punkstar Frenzies! With 20 of the wee 1.5" figures to collect, it shouldn't be too tough given the $5.95 price tag per blind box! C'mon, you know you want to invite these punks over to party with!

Watching
JFury constantly evolve — even within the confines of his clown theme — is something special… for the JFury of six months ago couldn't have executed this pristine looking 5-inch-tall JuJu Totem sculpt and cast them in resin. Yes, that's right, he's taken the leap into making his own designer toy platform. Branded with his sense of humor and playfulness, this initial outing of the figure has 5 pieces in the "
Blue Shades Edition," which — as the name implies — sees the form cast in various blue tones, for $40 each. And for do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts, he's even cast 10 copies in
blank white that cost $35 each; and while he will do other colorways in the future, these are the only blank ones he'll ever do. Head on over to
his web store now and snag some up before they are all gone!

I'll admit that there's something attractive and even titillating about the slender fleshy pink form of
Fools Paradise's Keiko, with her bared pert breasts and tiny thong bottoms, but put her in a re-imagined partial Stormtrooper outfit and you've just made many a geek's dream come true. Yes, this lovely little lady is wearing a helmet, gloves and boots that mash-up the traditional Stormtrooper look with elements of a bear… ears and snout and claws, oh my! Even her itsy bitsy undergarment is in the classic Stormtrooper white. While there's no word on the specifics, we're guessing — based on previous versions of Keiko — that this "Keikotrooper" will be roughly a foot-tall, limited to 299 copies and cost $180; and while that's all conjecture, we do know for sure that the pre-order for this wonderful piece begins on July 4th, 2012 over on the
Fools Paradise web site.

Posted up on MAD's Instagram account last night were the above, awesome looking, "Jade" and "Purple" resin Mini-MAD*L's. Now,
MAD notes that these are just test pull leading us to believe that they might not be the next colors in the continued series of releases, but who knows! We expect these to — like the previous versions — be limited to
only 20 copies each with a
price point of $50. The 3" resin figure will come in a gift box with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. I really am diggin these colors... almost candy like... I wanna taste them, hahaha :-) We encourage everyone to follow
his artist and
platform Twitter feeds for updated information... more info soon.
