Seeker Tanks and Mini Patty Power & Cosmic Hobo Van Resin Figures by Arbito

Hand Painted Mini Patty Power Resin Figures by Arbito

This Friday, Arbito will be releasing not 1, not 2, but 3 all new sets of resin figures at his online store. First up is The Blot’s personal favorite, a set of 1.25” Mini Patty Power resin figures. Each one of the six resin Patty Power figures seen above is a hand painted and numbered one of a kind figure. To date, this is the fourth version of Arbito’s far out hamburger and is definitely a must get! For those keeping track, the first three were the OG 6” resin Patty, the Super7 Monster Family vinyl Patty and the mini Patty Power eraser.

Next up are Arbito’s hand crafted resin Seeker Tanks that originally debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2010. Each of the five Seeker Tanks in this set has rolling rubbery tires, twin eyeball cannons, and a custom mini Seeker resin figure in the driver’s seat. These killer looking tanks are all hand painted one of a kind figures that would be excellent editions to any fan’s collection.

Hand Painted Mini Cosmic Hobo Van Resin Figures by Arbito

Last but not least is an all new four figure set of Mini Cosmic Hobo Van resin figures. Each one of a kind mini Cosmic Hobo Van is 1.5 inches long and comes hand painted by Arbito. The Patty Power and Cosmic Hobo Van mini figures will retail for around $25 each, while the Seeker Tanks will probably retail for around $150. All 15 of the resin figures seen above will go on sale in Arbito’s online store this Friday, January 21st, at 12 noon PST.

Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 1 by Funko

Funko continues its line of cute and chunky Pop! vinyl figures with an all new series of Pop! bobble heads. Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Bobble Heads Series 1 includes adorable 3.75” versions of the most popular heroes and villains in the Star Wars Universe like Darth Vader, Yoda, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, a Stormtrooper and even Greedo!

Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Bobble Heads Series 1 by Funko - Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia & Yoda

If you’re wondering why Funko is releasing bobble head versions of its Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures (on stands no less) instead of the format they have been producing, The Blot’s guess is it has something to do with George Lucas’ current licensing agreement with Hasbro. Can’t have two toy companies with Star Wars licenses releasing competing “urban” vinyl figures now can we? So instead of releasing Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures that might resemble Mighty Muggs, Funko gives us bobble heads instead.

Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 1 won’t hit store shelves until March 2011, but you can pre-order all seven figures from Entertainment Earth here for $7.99 each.
