This is El with Reideen. I can see how this can be misleading but this has nothing to do with a Super Robot of the same name. However this beauty can be the center of attention anytime!

Singer, actor, Heavenly King - All those words can be used to describe one person. A person of class and respect. However this isn't about Andy Lau, this is about Jay Chou (hey he's cool, seriously).

ENTERBAY in conjunction with Chou are doing a one-sixth. Jay will over see the production himself (I know, you were worried weren't you).

For those of you who don't know who he is check out the vid below. He's done a lot actually (and he is talented) but there is this sick desire I have to see a Mandarin hip hop video on this site. I don't even like hip hop to be honest but it's 2:41 AM and I feel like torturing myself.

Background

Ryo Honda is a Japanese illustrator who just recently released his first figure - Kabakuro. The figure was launched at the tokyomade Design Festa booth.  The release coincided with the drop of Honda’s hand-illustrated black and white book – Kabakuro First Story.

A symbol of the father and son bond, this Japanese designed toy is a model of Kabakuro and his little son Shiro. The same characters that are featured in Ryo Honda's first picture book, Kabakuro First Story, also released at the Tokyo Design Festa.

Packaging

The figure is packaged within an illustrated cardboard box.  There are several drawings by Ryo Honda.  The drawings depict the characters posing for a photo.  Since there is no window pane, it’s probably not a displayable box.

The brainchildren of Minneapolis artist Erin Currie, cursters are endearingly disturbing little monsters with big personalities. Part whimsy, part madness, these creatures find their way into people’s dreams and start making mischief. Each one is meticulously handcrafted from high-quality materials, and each has a hand-painted face, so every curster is a unique individual. What they’re capable of is anyone’s guess.

Buff Monster has placed the above 3" Pink Pirate figure (by MINDstyle) on his website.  It's exclusive to the site and is limited to a run of 100 pieces.  There is a limit of one per person and each box is signed and comes with a numbered card.

Background

If you thought that the adult Insurgents Wilderness Gruppo (IWG) characters were all alone in their fight against poachers and other environmentally evil types…you were wrong.  Patrick Ma and Rocket World have added the IWG Baby Cubs to the already formidable collection of rebellious animals.

There are several retailer exclusives, but the two widely released characters are Ares the Baby Grizzly Bear and Ginga the Baby White Rhino.  And for the first time ever, Rocket World has released blank figures for the customizers.

Packaging

The Baby Cubs line brings back the Rocket World IWG inspired camouflage design.  There is a little background reading on the rear of the package.  And each figure is secured in a double plastic tray that alleviates the need for any twist ties.

The Figures

Both Ares the Baby Grizzly Bear and Ginga the Baby White Rhino areapproximately 3.5” in height. Ares has 3 points of articulation (armsand head), while Ginga has 4 (arms, head and tail).  They are made ofboth rotocast (the head) and injection molded (body) vinyl.  Eachfigure is packaged with a pointy stick for roasting either eyeballs ormarshmallows.  Personally, I’d probably go with a nice and toastymarshmallow over a human eye.  But that’s just me.

Ares and Ginga are both limited to a run of 500...

Popup Gallery is bringing New Zealand the stylings of Kidrobot's apparel line.  Soon!

Upper Deck will be releasing their Brian Urlacher (Chicago Bears) All-Star Vinyl figure beginning on Tuesday December 18th at 9:54AM PDT for Platinum Club members and the same time the next day for the everyday public.  The sculpt on this one is great...and my favorite is the orange jersey.

Puma Latin America has launched a regional newsletter called the Puma Fridge.   To celebrate, they’ve released the 1st Custom Fridgetoys Collection.  A number of visual artists, designers and photographers let their creativity loose on the blank fridge template.  You can download, print, and build the tiny appliances.  Befre the next newsletter, Puma will be selecting 5 winners that will receive prizes and the privilege to appear in series 2.

Fans of Tonner's DC Stars line should enjoy this one.  It's the Joker's partner in crime - Harley Quinn.  If you ever watched the animated Batman show, you'll definitely recognize the character.  It'll go great with the Joker and Poison Ivy figures.

I think that customizers might like this...especially customizers who like to produce miniature dioramas.  Re-Ment International have produced a line of miniature pieces called Puchi Petites.  They take everyday items, primarily food, and shrink them down keeping an amazingly original look.  And plus...it sorta makes me hungry.
