Kidrobot x The Simpsons 6 Inch Kang & Mystery Chase Kodos Vinyl Figures

The second (and third) Simpsons 6” figure released by Kidrobot this month is the evil alien Kang and the not so mysterious chase Kodos. Now these are awesome figures, and I’m glad to see Kidrobot continue to recreate more and more of Matt Groening’s classic characters in 3 and 6 inch vinyl form.

These blind boxed, galactic goofballs stand 6-inches tall, retail for $29.95 and arrive at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com and select retailers on October 8.

Kidrobot x The Simpsons 6 Inch Ralph Wiggum Vinyl Figure

I had a feeling we’d be seeing more Kidrobot x The Simpsons vinyl figures due to the popularity of Kidrobot’s Simpsons 3 inch series, but I never imagined a release like this! Instead of a second series of 3” figures, we’re getting a 6 inch Ralph Wiggum. Now I love Ralph as much as the next guy, but I would have thought KR would launch a line of 6” The Simpsons figures with a more marketable character like Bart, Homer or even Mr. Burns.

Kidrobot x The Simpsons 6 Inch Ralph Wiggum Vinyl Figure
Venture to the deep end of the sandbox with Ralph Wiggum, the awkwardly endearing, paste-eating loser from Matt Groening’s The Simpsons. Choo-choo-choose this lovable 6-inch figure, which comes with one of two random accessories (a bottle of paste for Ralph to eat or a leprechaun) and retails for $29.95. Ralph hits Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com and select retailers on October 8.

Super7 - Green Hell Rose Vampire by Josh Herbolsheimer

One of The Blot’s favorite exclusives from SDCC 2009 was Super7’s “blank” Rose Vampire, an all new vinyl figure from the mind of Josh Herbolsheimer. At the time, the only way to get a Rose Vampire vinyl figure was as a part of S7’s SDCC 09 exclusive Monster Family 3-pack, which also included “blank” all-white versions of Bwana Spoons’ Steven the Bat and Le Merde’s Holis. But in two weeks, fans will be able to purchase the first ever colorway of this exciting new figure, the Green Hell Rose Vampire!

From beneath the soil, the Green Hell Rose Vampire is born! Cast in green vinyl with red, dark green, soft yellow and light blue spay, this adorable sprout stalks the living who would destroy the Earth from whence it came. The Green Hell Rose Vampire will go on sale starting Saturday, September 26th at Super7’s online store and retail for probably around $25 (it could be as much as $40 though).
