The Wolfman Mez-Itz Vinyl Figure

Lawrence Talbot transformed into the Wolfman, and Mezco Toyz now transforms him into a Mez-It vinyl figure! The classic Universal Monster returns to theaters everywhere on February 10th, 2010 with The Wolfman, a new big budget feature film starring Academy Award winners Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro. But first he makes his designer vinyl debut in January 2010 with The Wolfman Mez-Itz! When The Blot first saw The Wolfman Mez-Itz at SDCC 2009, I had no idea it was going to be a movie tie-in, but what a great idea! I just hope this movie doesn’t bomb like so many other Wolfman remakes have in the past.


Mezco’s Wolfman Mez-It transforms Universal’s snarling terror of the moors into a fun designer-vinyl figure. Standing six inches tall, with six points of articulation and based on the new movie’s creature design from Academy Award winner Rick Baker, this Mez-It captures the true essence of The Wolfman. From his terrifying fangs and pointed ears, to his clawed hind paws, this Mez-It is sure to please Wolfman fans everywhere! The Wolfman Mez-Itz retails for $13.00 each and can be pre-ordered now directly from Mezco Toyz here.

Lift Exclusive Doktor A. Mad’l Vinyl Figure Teaser Image

I’ve gotta tell ya, The Blot’s been jonesing for a new production Mad’l from MAD for a while now. And while rumors have been swirling about a Lift exclusive Mad’l from British designer Doktor A. for a few weeks, The Blot’s been waiting for confirmation before announcing the exciting news. Thankfully Lift has finally spilled the beans and announced it will be debuting “an exclusive new limited edition toy you would be MAD to miss” at its upcoming exhibition “Freak Mechanique” by Doktor A!


All we know for sure is the Doktor A. Mad’l’s head will probably look like the logo at the bottom of the poster above, and that little image is enough of a teaser for me to get really excited about this upcoming Mad’l release! There’s been no word yet on the figure’s price and run size, or if MAD and/or Dok A will be at the show’s opening reception. Hopefully more details will leak soon.

“Freak Mechanique,” Doktor A.’s largest solo exhibition to date, opens Saturday, November 14th at Lift in Detroit, Michigan with an opening reception from 7-11pm. “Freak Mechanique” runs from November 14th through December 9th, so if you live in the Detroit area or are within driving distance, be sure to make your plans now to see what is sure to be an amazing show!

Kidrobot - Dunny Series 2009 Chase Wood Dunny Variants by Travis Cain

By now you’re probably aware that not only was one of the chase figures in Kidrobot’s Dunny Series 2009 an actual Wood Dunny by Travis Cain, but the extremely rare figure also had three variants: a Hinged Head Wood Dunny, a Sawed Head Wood Dunny (it has a piece sawed out of the top of its head), and a Drill Wood Dunny (which has holes drilled in it). All four of Cain’s Wood Dunnys can be seen below.



Each figure has its own ratio and each all wood Dunny is unbelievably rare. Travis actually put some of his Artist Proof Wood Dunnys up for sale on eBay, and they all sold for some crazy money. Especially when you consider these are newly released production pieces.



The standard AP Wood Dunny sold for $415, the AP Hinge Head Wood Dunny sold for $560, the AP Saw Wood Dunny sold for $787, and the ultra-rare AP Drill Wood Dunny sold for $3,050! Yes my friends, you’ve read that correctly. Cain’s AP Drill Wood Dunny sold for over 3K! These all wood chase Dunnys have to be some of the most sought after production Dunnys ever.
