Mystery Chase James “Rhodey” Rhodes in the Iron Man Mark II Armor CosBaby by Hot Toys

While playing around on eBay this past weekend The Blot finally caught a glimpse of the Iron Man 2 CosBaby Series mystery chase figure! The secret is out, and it’s a James “Rhodey” Rhodes in the Iron Man Mark II Armor with a flippable mask. I honestly had no idea who Hot Toys was going to choose for the Iron Man 2 mystery chase, and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised.


Each Iron Man 2 CosBaby stands 3 inches tall, comes packaged on a 4-color blister card and retails for around $10.

Disney x Medicom Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket Vinyl Figures by Kaws

According to Highsnobiety.com, there is a new Kaws figure in the works and it features two of Disney’s more popular characters, Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket! Produced by Medicom, these vinyl figures of the wooden puppet who would become a real boy and his insect conscience look amazing! And while some might not like the Kaws-ification of such iconic figures, I kind of like the added details of Kaws’ signature skull head and crosses.


According to the Highsnobiety.com article, “We get a first look at the Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket toys by American artist Kaws. The two toys were shown as part of a show book; as part of the Kaws museum exhibition, which started today at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. At this time it is not clear if this toy is being released but it does show a listing of 2010 and having been produced by Medicom Toy Co. / Disney. It is also listed as from the Collection of Artist.” (link)

LTD Tee - Pink Cranium T-Shirt & Art Print by Iban Brizuela

For LTD Tee’s fifth release the clothing company turned in house for inspiration. LTD Tee’s intern Iban Brizuela, who came up with the “Pink Cranium” design, finds inspiration from people deported from reality. According to the releases’ description, Brizuela’s art is often dark and comical with a twist of obscenity that you can trust…and The Blot thinks that explains a lot!


As always with LTD Tee, the “Pink Cranium” box set will be available for one week only, exclusively at www.ltdtee.net. From June 28th through July 4th, fans can purchase the “Pink Cranium” box set by Iban Brizuela.
