NYCC 2011 Exclusive Biological Warfare Edition Yankee Pig Dog Labbit by Kronk

To be completely honest, The Blot was considering now blogging about this release. While I really enjoy Kronk’s work and I think this New York Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive looks pretty cool, I hate that Kidrobot continually produces (and knowingly releases) sub-par production pieces. In fact, this is the second comic-con exclusive Labbit in the past few years that has production issues. At what point is Kidrobot going to get its act together? I just don’t see any other companies have these issues on such a consistent basis. Not only are collectors missing out what could have been, but I also feel really bad for Kronk. All the work and time he put into this project and it turns into this joke of a release. Enough of my ranting…read on for the figure’s official announcement:

Every so often things don’t go exactly as planned.…and so it is with the Yankee Pig Dog Labbit. Don’t get us wrong, we’re stoked with the end result (but it just wasn’t up to snuff). It’s a reflection on us, not the artists involved, so we’ll take the hit. We’re knocking a few bucks off the price. Awesome, right? There may be some inconsistencies in production…but it is still amazing. And now you can buy a whole squadron!

Flying straight out of South Africa comes Kronk’s Biological Warfare Edition Yankee Pig Dog Labbit, here just in time to keep the skies safe and his butt hole in all the action. Stinking of freedom, this badass bulldog is 7 inches of vinyl and dons molded rivets, a flying cap and goggles, and a jet pack. The Yankee Pig Dog also sports a ‘stache worthy of the Red Baron in honor of Labbit inventor Frank Kozik. The New York Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Biological Warfare Edition is military green and wears a toxic pink, beige, and lime uniform with more paint defects and miscues than you can shake a stick at!

The NYCC 2011 Exclusive Biological Warfare Edition Yankee Pig Dog Labbit by Kronk has a limited edition run size of 300 pieces and retails for $69 (it was originally going to be priced at $100, so that’s $41 off!). Pick one up at the Kidrobot NYCC booth starting Thursday, October 14.

NYCC 2011 Exclusive Spider-Man Maximum Carnage Marvel Mini Mighty Muggs Box Set

The Blot is shocked! Hasbro really is keeping its Mini Mighty Muggs line alive. Tomorrow Hasbro will be releasing the Spider-Man themed Maximum Carnage Marvel Mini Mighty Muggs Collectors Pack presented in a special edition skyscraper packaging at New York Comic-Con 2011. This limited edition boxed set includes Spider-Man, Carnage, Demogoblin, J. Jonah Jameson and Venom (with an alternate Eddie Brock face on the back of his head!).

"Maximum Carnage" was a popular Spider-Man crossover from the early ‘90s, and I can still remember reading those comics as a little kid! To me, this was what comic books is all about and I highly recommend picking up the trade paperback if/when you have the opportunity. You definitely won’t be disappointed!

The Spider-Man Maximum Carnage Marvel Mini Mighty Muggs Collectors Pack retails for $33 and can be purchased from Hasbro’s NYCC booth #302, with any remaining stock made available at HasbroToyShop.com after the convention.
