¡Viva Azteca! After lots of rumors and leaks, Kidrobot has finally acknowledged what we all knew: Azteca Series 2 is coming soon! Fourteen hot south-of-the-border artists conjure up 18 new designs in Kidrobot’s bold Dunny Azteca Series 2.

The fiesta begins on January 20th when Azteca Series 2 hits Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com and select retailers for $9.95 per blind box.

Kidrobot Dunny Concept Designs by Sket-One

Yesterday, The Blot was checking out Sket One’s Flickr page and I stumbled upon all these Dunny designs Sket had previously submitted to Kidrobot. I always love seeing what could have been (and still might be!), and wanted to share them with the world. Some of these designs are incredible, especially that Stax design from 2008! Is Sket killing it with that Jenga Dunny or what!?! I think my personal favorites are two designs were submitted in 2004: the Hong Kong Phooey looking design in the top left corner and the Evil Kenevil looking Dunny in the middle. Come on KR make these happen! Which are your favorite?

Futurama Plush Figures Series 1 by Toynami

Remember the San Diego Comic-Con 2010 Exclusive Futurama Nibbler Plush by Toynami? Well for those of us unable to attend the world’s premiere pop culture extravaganza last summer, Toynami is about to release a standard edition Nibbler plush doll as part of its new line of Futurama Plush Figures.

Futurama Plush Figures Series 1 is scheduled to hit stores sometime this month (January 2011), and includes Planet Express' trash-talking, booze-guzzling robot Bender; the bumbling yet good-intentioned Planet Express crew member Dr. Zoidberg; and Professor Farnsworth's faithful companion, Lord Nibbler. Each plush doll is 11” tall, retails for $24.99, and can be ordered from Entertainment Earth here.

Handstyle White 5 Inch Custom Mad’ls by MAD

Early (and I mean EARLY) this morning MAD released his third set of custom, one of a kind Handstyle 5” Mad’ls! Ten customs were created in all, with each blank 5” white Mad’l featuring a different hand drawn doodle in black Sharpie. This is definitely the best Handstyle series yet. Not only does it include a pretty cool Skeleton design but there’s a freaking Guardian Mad’l in this mix, wings and everything!

As I’ve said before, blank 5” Mad’ls are rarely, if ever, sold to the general public, so to be able to buy one with a custom doodle on it by MAD is an opportunity not to be missed. There are only 10 figures in this particular set, and as I write this 8 have already been sold. Head to www.madtoystore.com now and pick one up for $45 while you still can!
