Batman and Iron Man CosBaby 3 Inch Vinyl Figures

I am still not sure how I feel about these cutesy little super hero figures, but I do love the huge variety of characters Hong Kong toymaker Hot Toys has included in their CosBaby line of 3” PVC figures. First they released a 7 figure line of Marvel Comics’ Iron Man Movie CosBaby figures and now they are releasing an 8 figure line of DC Comics’ Batman CosBaby figures.


The CosBaby line of figures are inspired by CosPlay (from the contraction of the words “costume play”), a type of performance art and role play in which the cosplayers meticulously outfit themselves in character costumes from sources such as manga, anime, comics, movies and video games to become the characters they emulate, reenacting scenes from the original sources.


The Iron Man Movie CosBaby line includes Iron Man Mark 1, Mark 2, Mark 3, Tony Stark, Tony Stark (Mark 1 version), Tony Stark (Mark 3 version) and one secret variant. The Batman CosBaby line includes Modern Batman, Classic Batman, The Joker, Robin, Classic Batgirl, Catwoman, Two-Face and one secret chase figure.


Both lines of 3” CosBaby figures should be hitting store shelves this month, so keep your eyes out if you’re interested in picking up a few of these cute ‘lil figures. I’m just hoping the Batman chase figure is not a Bruce Wayne figure (a figure I would never want in a million years). Now a Nightwing figure, that is something I might be interested in! It looks like each figure comes packed on a 4-color blister card and will retail for around $10.

Johnny Cupcakes "There’s Something In The Cupcake Mix" 2008 T-Shirts

Every Halloween Johnny Cupcakes releases a few all new, extremely limited edition shirts in its “There’s Something in the Cupcake Mix” t-shirt series. October is here and JC has brought the heat! The Blot is a huge movie buff so I really love the fact that the 2008 editions of the “There’s Something in the Cupcake Mix” t-shirt series feature some of the scariest men in the history of horror movies, Jason and Freddy.



These shirts are always impossible to get, so whether you’re a fan of Johnny Cupcakes or one of the movies featured in this year’s shirts (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Child’s Play, Ghostbusters) you need to act fast and wear a random size if you hope to get one!



To be honest, I have no idea if any of these awesome Halloween shirts are even available anymore, but if you’re interested in trying to purchase one of the 2008 “There’s Something in the Cupcake Mix” t-shirts email monster@johnnycupcakes.com and put in a request. There are only a few random sizes left (if any) at this point!
