Disney Pop! Vinyl Figures Official Photos

Disney Pop! Vinyl Figures Wave 1 - Mickey, Tinkerbell, Snow White & Maleficent

A little birdy (or was it a mouse) sent me this official first look at Funko’s upcoming line of Disney Pop! Vinyl Figures! As you know, The Blot’s been looking forward to this new Pop! Series and I am really excited to debut the toy line’s official line-up. Pop! Disney Wave 1 features Mickey Mouse, Tinkerbell, Snow White, Toy Story’s Woody and Buzz, Monsters Inc.’s Sully and Mike, Pinnochio, Jiminy Cricket, Stitch, and villains Cruella de Vil and Maleficent.

What I really like about Funko’s first wave of Pop! Disney vinyl figures is the huge variety of classic characters and new Pixar favorites included in the series. From Mickey and Snow White, to Stitch and Buzz, almost every era of Disney magic is accounted for. And with Disney’s huge roster of characters, this is one Pop! line that could go on indefinitely!

Pop! Disney Wave 1 includes 12 figures in all and from the looks of the packaging, will be sold exclusively at Disney Stores worldwide. Look for these cute and blocky Disney vinyl figures in a Disney Store near you sometime soon!

Easter Inspired Custom Vinyl Figures by D-Lux

The Blot’s started to wonder when Detroit artist D-Lux sleeps! The man has been a painting machine these past few months, releasing more and more killer custom painted kaiju, sofubi and most Super7 figures. Last Sunday, D-Lux released an entire series of Easter inspired customs in honor of the holiday and they are sick! D has truly transformed some of The Blot’s favorite figures with these vibrant and pastel color schemes.

Easter Inspired Custom Kaiju Vinyl Figures by D-Lux - Greasebat, Mummy Boys, Rose Vampires, Honoo the Flame and Partyballs

Just look at these Rose Vampires, Mummy Boys and Partyballs given the "Easter" treatment by D-Lux! And don’t even get me started on the Neon Metallic Pink 1988 Greasebat. I think that’s my favorite of the bunch, but I know a lot of comic book fans will love D-Lux’ green and purple color scheme on his Incorrigible Hulk Mummy Boy.

Most of the customs you see here (and more), are currently available for sale at D-Lux’s online store. Ranging in price from $80-175 each, these one of a kind custom figures will make the perfect centerpiece to any collection! Even better still, D is currently holding a pretty sick promotion. Anyone who makes a purchase through his online store will be automatically entered to win a free custom or proto black Super7 Foster vinyl figure! How cool is that?

2 New Star Trek: TOS Screen Prints by Tomer Hanuka & Mike Saputo

Star Trek “Mirror, Mirror” Screen Print by Tomer Hanuka

The Blot had started to think Mondo had ended its Star Trek Screen Print Series without an official announcement. It had been all most 2 months since we saw a Star Trek release, and then BAM!, two prints in one day! The first Star Trek screen print scheduled to be released today (sixth overall) is “Mirror, Mirror” by Tomer Hanuka, which is named after the 1967 The Original Series episode of the same name.

Star Trek “The Menagerie” Screen Print by Mike Saputo

The second print (and seventh overall) is “The Menagerie” by Mike Saputo, which is also scheduled for release today. “The Menagerie” is based on the 1966 Star Trek: The Original Episode two-part episode of the same name. “The Menagerie” episode is unique in that it is the only two part episode of the original Star Trek television show. It also marks the return of Christopher Pike, who was the original captain of the USS Enterprise in the show’s pilot episode.

"Mirror, Mirror" by Tomer Hanuka is a hand numbered 24″x36″ screen print, has a limited edition run size of 175 prints and retail for $45. "The Menagerie" by Mike Saputo is a hand numbered 24″x36″ screen print, has a limited edition run size of 125 prints and retail for $45. Both screen prints go on sale today, Thursday, April 28th, at the Mondo Tees online store at a random time.

First Look: O-No Sashimi Vinyl Figure by Andrew Bell

Standard Edition Green O-No Sashimi Vinyl Figure by Andrew Bell

Andrew Bell first previewed the painted master resin sculpt of his upcoming O-No Sashimi vinyl figure in San Diego 2010…and then nothing! Well that all changed yesterday, when he unveiled the first official photo of this exciting new figure yesterday. While The Blot doesn’t know too many details, Bell did let it slip that the first opportunity collectors will have to catch his O-No Sashimi will be at SDCC 2011! The Standard Edition Green O-No Sashimi will debut this summer in San Diego, along with a possible SDCC 2011 Exclusive colorway…any guess what color that might be?

If you can't make it to San Diego this year, don’t worry! Andrew will definitely have some of the green O-No Sashimi colorway available online and in stores after SDCC 2011. More details to come for sure!
