DCon Exclsuive Fossilla Eruption by Josh Herbolsheimer

This has got to be one of the coolest releases The Blot’s ever heard! At Designer Con 2012, Super7 will have on hand a volcano where collectors can pull out a one of a kind painted Fossilla! Josh Herbolsheimer’s fossilized dinosaur stands a massive 9” tall, has five points of articulation (head, arms and legs), and is ready to take a bite out of you! Each figure is colored by the swirling, molten insides of the Earth, and no two are alike! I can’t wait to see what these look like.

The Designer Con 2012 Exclsuive Fossilla Eruption by Josh Herbolsheimer will be available this Saturday at the Super7 DCon booth #417 for $95 each.

DCon Exclusive Green X-Ray Ugly Unicorn Vinyl Figures by Rampage Toys

One of my favorite versions of Rampage Toys’ Ugly Unicorn is the X-Ray Edition, featuring clear vinyl with a clear skeleton insert.

Cast in clear soft Japanese vinyl with various shades of green spray, these spooky Skeleton UUs are perfect for the holiday season!

“Devil’s Night” The Crow Screen Print by Rhys Cooper

Last night Nakatomi secretly dropped the third print in its The Crow Screen Print Series. Inspired by James O’barr’s legendary indie comic book series (and 1994 film), “Devil’s Night” by Rhys Cooper is freaking awesome! Just look at all that detail and crazy bloody crow on Eric Draven’s chest. Nakatomi has decided to give this massive 12”x36” 5-color The Crow print with a secret glow layer a timed release with a maximum numbered edition of 200 pieces (including artists copies).

This means the print will be available for purchase from now until midnight on November 1st, or until 200 prints have been sold in total. With Rhys’ popularity continuing to rise, The Blot definitely doesn’t expect this print to last through November 1st, so act fast! Pick one up today at the Nakatomi online store for $40 each.

Devil's Headquarters x Super7 Halloween Pocket Mummy Boy

It’s Halloween, and what better way to celebrate this most awesomeness of holidays than by buying some killer vinyl!?! Super7 and Devil's Head Productions are teaming up to produce a very special Pocket Mummy Boy. Each translucent orange vinyl figure is hand sprayed and contains the hand-cast resin remains of the demonic entity that haunts the Mummy Boy and whispers dark suggestions into his mind. What a cool concept, and an even cooler figure!

The Devil's Headquarters x Super7 Halloween Pocket Mummy Boy goes on sale at 12 noon PST today, Wednesday, October 31st, at the Super7 online store for $35 each.

Con Report: Austin Comic-Con 2012

Last weekend The Blot traveled to Austin to attend Wizard World’s 2012 Austin Comic-Con. This is the second year in a row I’ve attended the event and it just keeps getting bigger and better (literally). The convention floor was larger, the crowds were bigger and overall, the event felt bigger. This year’s show was all about one thing…Star Trek: The Next Generation. As it turns out, Austin Comic-Con would be the only time the show’s entire cast would reunite (including Wil Wheaton) to celebrate TNG’s 25th Anniversary and fans showed up in droves!

Everywhere I looked there were Starfleet captains and Vulcans roaming the convention floor. Lines for photographs with their favorite actors were hundreds deep and the lines for autographs were never ending. I haven’t seen this much enthusiasm for Star Trek in years and it was very cool to see so much for TNG. The Blot personally grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and it’s still my favorite version of Star Trek. I even geeked out a little meeting a very sick Wheaton (what a trooper for being there!) and took a picture with Mr. Reading Rainbow, LeVar Burton! Burton was hilarious, and everyone was raving about all five Star Trek panels held throughout the weekend.

The only crowd that even came close to rivaling that of Patrick Stewart’s was The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus. That guy is a freaking rock star! Seriously, fans of all ages were going crazy every time he appeared. I never saw him without a completely full line every time he was at his booth. The Walking Dead mania is definitely sweeping the country! While the comic book presence over all was down at ACC, every vendor I spoke to was selling crazy amounts of Walking Dead comics at insane prices! I personally saw multiple high dollar comics sold to Walking Dead fans who proudly professed they had never read a comic in their lives.

Even though I was bummed the show didn’t have a larger comic book focus, all in all I was really glad to see the show continue to grow. Hopefully some of that will rub off on the comic scene as well! Regardless, I got to catch up with some of my favorite local artists and retailers throughout the weekend, and marvel at the artwork of Jim Cheung!

The Blot had a killer weekend and saw some amazing costumes as well. While I loved the Kid Predator and the homemade Wonder Girl costume, my favorite has to be the two girls dressed up as Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000!!! When was the last time you saw two girls cosplaying as characters from MST3K!?! It was amazing. I’m already excited for Austin Comic-Con 2013, but scheduling it the weekend before Thanksgiving is going to make it almost impossible to attend. It’ll be interesting to see how that affects out of town attendance for the convention’s 4th year.

Apocalypse Dunny Series

Dunny celebrates the end of the world with a group of artists so badass, you’ll wish every year prophesized mass destruction! Angels of death, soapbox protestors, Mayan feathered serpents, toxic meltdowns – so many versions of Doomsday, how do you choose just one way to go? The Blot is beyond impressed with this new blind box series from Kidrobot. Not only does it include a number of new artists to the Dunny platform (a few of which are personal favorites of mine), but just look at all the intricate designs and crazy sculpting! And is it me or does Sam Fout’s Dunny look translucent!?! Kidrobot definitely went all out on this release!

The Apocalypse Dunny Series features 15 Judgment Day designs by 12 amazing artists. This limited edition blind box series includes designs by Jon Paul Kaiser, Mishka, Jermaine Rogers, Jesse Hernandez, Sam Fout, Joe Ledbetter, Ron English, Huck Gee, Patricio Oliver, Chris Ryniak, Hydro74 and Kronk.

The end begins on November 8th when the Apocalypse Dunny Series is unleashed on Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot.com, and select retailers worldwide. Good luck collecting all 15 doomed Dunnys, which will retail for $9.95 per blind box.

Masters of the Universe Pop! Vinyl Figures by Funko

The minute Funko announced a line of Masters of the Universe bobble heads The Blot was drooling over the idea of a line of MOTU Pop! vinyl figures. Thankfully, we now know they’re on their way! Masters of the Universe Pop! Television Series 1 will include He-Man, She-Ra and villains Skeletor, Hordak and Spikor. These all look pretty perfect, and spot on to the characters’ original designs! I’m a little surprised Hordak and Spikor are getting the Pop! treatment over characters like Beast Man and Mer-Man, but hopefully that just means more MOTU Pop! are already in development!

Not many details about Funko’s new Masters of the Universe Pop! figures, but hopefully Funko will be releasing them soon! Each vinyl figure features one point of articulation, stands 3.75” tall, comeS packaged in a full color displayable window box, and will retail for $9.99.

DCon Exclusive Stinky Ginger Unpainted Vinyl Figure by Chris Ryniak

Meet Chris Ryniak’s Stinky Ginger, Circus Posterus’s third Sofubi release at Designer Con 2012! Produced by Tomenosuke, Stinky Ginger may smell bad but she’d still make an excellent addition to any fan’s collection! This 6.5” unpainted monster is an all new creation by Chris, and has been cast in green soft Japanese vinyl. This is one of those figures that you just know will look awesome with spray when it’s first painted colorway is released sometime in the near future. Personally, The Blot can’t wait to see this figure in person this weekend at the con!

The Desginer Con 2012 Exclusive Stinky Ginger vinyl figure has a limited edition run size of 65 pieces, will probably retail for around $95, and can be purchased at the Circus Posterus DCon booth #500.

DCon Exclusive Calliope Jackalope #1 Vinyl Figure by Kathie Olivas

Already they’ve got three amazing releases lined up in conjunction with Tomenosuke, including Kathie Olivas’ long awaited Calliope Jackalope #1 in fresh beautiful light blue soft Japanese vinyl with silver, white black and peach spray. This is such a beautiful figure, and really does an amazing job reproducing Kathie’s incredible art! The Blot’s only problem is trying to figure out which Circus Posterus vinyl figures to pick up at DCon.

The Designer Con 2012 Exclusive Calliope Jackalope #1 Vinyl Figure by Kathie Olivas has a limited edition run size of just 120 pieces, will retail for around $95 and can be purchased at the Circus Posterus DCon booth #500.

DCon 12 Exclusive Painted Clear Purple Wooper Looper & More by Gary Ham!

Designer Con 2012 is just a few days away and the killer exclusives are coming fast and furious! Not to be outdone, Gary Ham is bringing a boatload of amazing toys to DCon this year, including a certain 5.25” water monster we all know and love. The Designer Con 2012 Exclusive Painted Clear Purple Wooper Looper is actually being released in three different colorways: Silver with Black Spray, Metallic Purple Spray, and Deep Violet Matte Spray. All three look awesome, and each version has a limited edition run size of just 8 pieces. Pick one (or all three) up at Gary’s DCon booth #225 for $65 each.

Gary will also have two colorways of his new Monster Toytems available for sale at his DCon booth.

At DCon’s Suckcarnival, participants will be able to win the Talking Sucklord double sided plush Gary designed. These look awesome and The Blot definitely wants to get my hands on one!

Ugly Pump-corn Vinyl Figures by Rampage Toys

Rampage Toys has been traveling the globe these past few months, but now that Jon’s back in Japan it’s time for a new Ugly Unicorn release. It’s almost Halloween, so that can only mean one thing…orange vinyl! The Ugly Pump-corns feature green, orange and black spray, and yes Jon cut out their eyes and mouth and sprayed them black on the inside. It’s really a pretty cool effect! But here’s the catch, only 10 orange Ugly Unicorns have been produced, and you can order these Ugly Pump-corns either painted or unpainted. This means there may be 5 painted and 5 unpainted or 8 painted and 2 unpainted. It’ll all be based on the first 10 orders placed.

The Ugly Pump-corn Ugly Unicorns by Rampage Toys drop at around 9pm EST today, October 30th, at the Rampage Toys online store. Blank figures will retail for $30, while the painted Ugly Pump-corns will retail for $40.

DCon 12 Exclusive Fizzy Root Beer Pocket Rose Vampire!!

Josh Herbolsheimer’s popular undead rose is back with a surprising new release! At Designer Con 2012 Super7 will debut the all new Pocket Rose Vampire and The Blot is pumped! Josh’s RV is without a doubt The Blot’s favorite figure and I may have actually squealed a little bit when I heard a Pocket Rose Vampire was coming out. This is actually the fourth vinyl version of the Rose Vampire (after the OG Monster Family, Rose Vampire DX and Casket Cruiser) and it’s a beauty! I just can’t wait to see what other colorways Josh and S7 have in the works!

The Designer Con 2012 Exclusive Fizzy Root Beer Pocket Rose Vampire by Josh Herbolsheimer features Root Beer colored clear vinyl with red and green glitter. Fans can pick one up at the Super7 DCon booth #417 for $25 each.

“The Hatter” & “Caterpillar” Alice In Wonderland Screen Prints by Johnny Dombrowski

Dark Hall Mansion continues to impress with its diverse line of screen prints. Next week they’ll be dropping not one, but two Alice In Wonderland themed prints by talented New York City artist Johnny Dombrowski! While “Caterpillar” is nice, The Blot especially loves Dombroski’s “The Hatter” which includes a cameo by the Cheshire Cat (a personal fav!). For this piece Johnny explained that he wanted “to show the Mad Hatter's insanity on a physical plane, the idea of him being an empty shell was an idea I was experimenting with during the sketch phase.”

“The Hatter” and “Caterpillar” by Johnny Dombrowski are 22”x30” signed and numbered screen prints. The Standard Edition of each print has a limited edition run size of 99 pieces and will retail for $75, while the Variants have limited edition run sizes of 25 pieces and will retail for $100. All four prints go on sale at 9:30am PST on Monday, October 29th, at the Dark Hall Mansion online store.

DCon 12 Exclusive Melange Deadbeet by Scott Tolleson

If you thought Scott Tolleson’s San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Unpainted Blue Deadbeet was cool, wait til you see his Designer Con 2012 Exclusive Melange Deadbeet!!! Made from soft Japanese vinyl, the Melange colorway is made from clear orange glow in the dark vinyl with glitter. Yes, you read that right…It’s made from freaking clear orange GID vinyl with glitter! One of those things along would make for a pretty cool figure but combining all three is just plain sick! I honestly can’t think of any figures with a similar pallet, and I’m obsessed with clear vinyl with glitter (just check out my collection). Plus it’s a zombie vegetable, so that’s pretty cool too.

The Designer Con 2012 Exclusive Melange Deadbeet vinyl figure by Scott Tolleson stands 7.5” tall, has a limited edition run size of 25 pieces and will come bagged with a colorway specific headercard. Pick up this walking dead beet at Scott Tolleson’s DCon booth #708 for $60 each.

“Scarlett” G.I. Joe Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

Acid Free Gallery continues its exciting Hasbro Screen Print Series with a banner sized “Scarlett” G.I. Joe screen print by Grzegorz Domaradzki (aka GABZ). Not only does it feature G.I. Joe’s #1 redhead, but it’s also the first print in a new triptic by GABZ. If The Blot had to guess I’d say the other two prints feature Duke and Snake Eyes, but maybe it’s members of Cobra or two other female Joes. We’ll find out soon I hope!

“Scarlett” by Grzegorz Domaradzki is a 12”x36” limited edition G.I. Joe 5 color, numbered screen print. The Standard Edition has a limited edition run size of 150 pieces and will retail for $45, while the Variant has a limited edition run size of 82 pieces and will retail for $55.

DCon 12 Exclusive White Deathhead Vinyl Figure by David Flores

Fans worldwide have been going crazy for David Flores’ Deathhead vinyl figure. This 10” figure, which pays homage to Disney’s iconic Mickey Mouse, is not only massive but beautiful as well. And this Designer Con 2012 Exclusive White Deathhead is all kinds of perfect! Usually with “white” colorways you lose the ability to really see all the details in a figure’s sculpt, but this is definitely not the case with Flores’ White Deathhead! Its light gray outlining and crisp lines makes David’s stained glass style stand out even!

Produced by BIC Plastics, the DCon 2012 Exclusive White Deathhead by David Flores has a limited edition run size of just 25 pieces, will retail for around $90 each and can be purchased at the Toy Art Gallery’s DCon booth #400. With how much demand there’s been for this figure don’t expect this figure to last very long! Also, David will be on hand at the TAG DCon booth to sign this amazing figure!

“Nosforatea” Halloween T-Shirt by Edward Teabelly

Edward Teabelly, The Blot’s good friend from across the pond, has just released a fun new Halloween inspired t-shirt designed entitled appropriately enough “Nosforatea!” Hey, even the undead need a tea break, right!?! This Dracula sipping a hot cup of tea (or is it blood) design is pretty great, but I especially love the Edward Teabelly bat logo on the back! Released in conjunction with this fun new t-shirt is a new four 1” pin badge set of Edward Teabelly Vampire designs, perfect for the spooky season. The Blot loves a good spot of tea, and what better way to drink it than while sporting some Edward Teabelly gear!

The “Nosforatea” vampire t-shirt is currently available at the Edward Teabelly online store for £18.00 in guys (S-3XL) and girls (S-XL) styles, and the four button set can be purchased for just £2.99!

10th Edition Laser Etched Black Resin Mini Mad’l by MAD

Yesterday, MAD unveiled the tenth figure in his new line of handmade 3” resin Mini Mad’ls, and it is sick!!! For this special release MAD’s releasing a laser etched black Mini Mad’l with a pretty intricate design that includes his Big Money logo, the Mad’l head and his trademark signature. This figure is seriously next level!

All we know at this point is the release happening at a random time this Friday at MAD’s online store. The Blot assumes it’s limited to 20 pieces and will retail for somewhere around $50-60 but neither of those numbers has been confirmed, so keep an eye out on the Mad’l Brand twitter account for more details!

OG Target Vinyl Figure by Luke Chueh Debuts at DCon 2012!

Munky King has unveiled that the original colorway of Luke Chueh’s popular Target vinyl figure will be making its world premiere in less than two weeks at Designer Con 2012! Based on the classic painting by Luke Chueh, the OG Target vinyl figure features Luke’s iconic bear with a black target on its chest and includes a highly detailed bullet-ridden 10.5” resin backdrop. Each 6.5” figure includes a removable brush and bucket, and comes packaged in a full color box featuring Luke's revisit of his original illustration. One of the coolest parts of this new figure is that its backdrop is designed to interlock with the SDCC 2012 Exclusive Red Target, making for a really sick display!

The OG Target vinyl figure by Luke Chueh can be initially purchased at Munky King’s DCon booth #217, with any remaining stock being sold at the Munky King online store. Only 1,000 of these beautiful figures have been produced, and you know Luke’s releases always go super quick, so if you want one be sure to lock it down early! Luke Chueh will also be on hand at the Munky King DCon booth to sign these awesome figures from 11am-1pm.

Brown & Cream Bones Vinyl Figure by Mike Egan

The newest colorway of Mike Egan’s Bones vinyl figure here and it’s a beauty! The Brown and Cream Bones stands 8” tall, is made in a cream colored soft Japanese vinyl and is hand painted brown. What The Blot loves so much about this figure is that it really looks like it came straight from a Mike Egan painting. He’s got such a unique color palette and Egan’s Bones is truly a 3D version of his art.

The Brown and Cream Bones vinyl figure by Mike Egan has a limited edition run size of just 40 pieces, retails for $45, and is currently available for purchase through Mike’s online store.

“Toxic Marshmallow” Stingy Jack by Brandt Peters Debuts at DCon 2012!

Thanks to the Circus Posterus blog and Tomenosuke we have word that Brandt Peters' second Stingy Jack colorway will make its world debut at Designer Con 2012! The “Toxic Marshmallow” Stingy Jack vinyl figure is based on the custom resin Stingy Jack Brandt made for the Monsters and Misfits II show earlier this month. The Blot loves this new figure made from soft Japanese vinyl, and the colors really pop! I don’t know what it is about the figure’s head, but it looks so sharp with its pink and red eyes and white/tan faded head. This is definitely one release not to be missed!

The Toxic Marshmallow Stingy jack will make its debut at DCon 2012, where 60 of its run of 120 pieces will be available for purchase at the Circus Posterus DCon booth #500 for around $95. The other half of its run will be split between Tomenosuke and Stranger Factory sometime around November 10th.

The Blot’s Heading to Wizard World’s Austin Comic-Con 2012

This weekend The Blot’s heading to Austin for Wizard World’s Austin Comic-Con! Last year’s convention was surprisingly big, and with Austin just 2.5 hours away I felt like it was a show that I couldn’t miss. Once again the line-up is incredibly strong, with an impressive line-up of both comic book creators and Hollywood superstars. Without a doubt the biggest event of the convention is Saturday night’s Star Trek: The Next Generation event. The show’s entire cast is reuniting for their first US even in honor of the show’s 25th Anniversary! The Blot grew up on ST: TNG and I’m more than a little excited to see Patrick Stewart, Wil Wheaton, LeVar Burton and more!

Austin Comic-Con will also feature comic book superstars Neal Adams, Humberto Ramos, Jim Cheung, Greg Horn, and some of my personal favorites Hope Larson, Nick Pitarra, Rob Guillory and Joe Eisma! Along with the cast of ST: TNG, Wizard World will be hosting actors Eliza Dushku, The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker, WWE's CM Punk, Ray Park and Dean Cain. It should be a fun event and The Blot will be live tweeting from the convention all weekend. So if you’re not already following me at Twitter.com/TheBlotSays go do so now!

Temper Tot Vinyl Figure by Ron English

Temper Tot, a half infant/half Incredible Hulk character Ron English has been using for years in paintings and street art, finally makes its debut as a killer 8” vinyl figure early next year! One of English’s most popular characters, Temper Tot signifies that combustible amalgamation of unbridled id and unbounded brawn. And really, can’t we all use more Incredible Hulk inspired vinyl figures in our collection!?!

Temper Tot by Ron English is set to explode on stores everywhere in 2013 and will retail for $70 each.

The First Iron Man 3 Trailer Is Here!!!

The Blot could go on and on about how awesome the first trailer for Iron Man 3 is, but I won't because you can just watch it for yourself. Besides, isn't a picture worth a 1,000 words? I'll just leave you with two words: The Mandarin!

Ok, now that you've seen it what do you think??? It really does look awesome, right? It will be interesting to see how much of tonal shift Iron Man 3 has from the first two films now that Jon Favreau is no longer directing. Iron Man 2 was kind of a letdown, but I really liked Favreau's take on the character. Will this new direction still let Robert Downey Jr. be the Tony Stark we all know and love? I guess we'll find out on May 3, 2013.

Loyal K.N.G. Fall 2012 T-Shirt Collection

Loyal K.N.G. has dropped its Fall 2012 T-Shirt Collection and it’s jam packed with pop culture goodness!

This new collection also includes a Dragon Ball Z design and two Egyptian themed t-shirts that brings a unique take on Loyal K.N.G.’s trademark themes. But the design The Blot loves the most is the typographical shirt “Stop Hate, Make Love.” It may just be me, but it’s got a very Scott Pilgrim vibe to it.

Each design in Loyal K.N.G.’s Fall 2012 T-Shirt Collection is currently available in multiple colors and sizes S-2XL. Pick one up today for $30 each via the Loyal K.N.G. online store.

The Foot Soldier Custom Munny by Huck Gee

For his newest release Huck unleashes the Foot Soldier on the world! The Clan 6 Tails Foot Soldiers are trained experts in stealth, resourcefulness, and assassination. Their preferred weapons of the shadowy hunt are the tanto and kunai. It was from these elite warriors of the night that Shirokuri handpicked his wolf rider battalion.

Each handmade custom Foot Soldier vinyl figure comes signed, numbered, and includes all of the accessories seen here (including those crazy looking stainless steel weapons. Huck has only made 10 Foot Soldiers, each retailing for $750. While I assume these are all sold out, anyone interested should email Huck ASAP at sales@huckgee.com.

Wreck-It Ralph Pop! Disney Vinyl Figures by Funko

The Blot knows almost nothing about Disney’s upcoming animated film Wreck-It Ralph, but from the look of its trailers I’m definitely going to love it! We’ve known for some time Funko had a line of Wreck-It Ralph Pop! vinyl figures in the works, and they’ve been released just in time for the film’s November 2nd world premiere. The Wreck-It Ralph Pop! Disney Series includes Wreck-It Ralph, Vanellope, Fix-it Felix and King Candy.
