Android Mini Figure Series 3 Artist Line Up!

Today Andrew Bell and Dyzplastic announced there will soon be a third blind box series of their immensely popular collaboration with Google, and they are definitely pulling out all the stops for this one!!! Android Mini Figure Series 3 has an incredible line-up of some of the biggest names in the toy scene, and includes designs by Google, Andrew Bell, Gary Ham, Huck Gee, kaNO, MAD, Kronk, Kelly Denato, Scott Tolleson and Sket One! Is that insane or what!?! The Blot seriously can’t wait to see and get my hands on all of these (and I don’t even collect Android mini figures).

One new twist to this release is that unlike Android Series 1 and 2, there will only be one production run of Series 3. Not only that, but this will be the only full artists Android series released in 2012. What does all this mean for us collectors? You’d better make sure you get your hands on some Android Series 3 blind boxes early and often, as this release will end up being a lot harder to get long term and rarer in general. Android Series 3 blind boxes will retail for $8 and go on sale sometime in April, May or June of this year.

Jon Paul Kaiser x UME Toys x David Bishop “X” Resin Figure Prototype Teaser Images

There is nothing better than finding out there are awesome projects like this one in the works!!! At the tail end of last year [rich] of UME Toys had a conversation about a possible sculpt/resin toy based on a concept from David Bishop and Jon Paul Kaiser. That little conversation has since blossomed into a full fledged prototype, and The Blot is itching to see more. Until then, here are three teaser images of the mysterious resin figure know only as “X” (for now at least). For all you collectors in the UK dying to see more, rumor has it [rich] will be traveling to London for the Kidrobot Fatcap Series 3 event on Thursday with “X” in tow. Hopefully someone at KRLN can snap some pics for all of us fans stuck here in the States!

Kidrobot Fatcap Series 3 Checklist & Ratios

The Blot is getting seriously excited for this Thursday’s release of Kidrobot’s Fatcap Series 3! Every design I see from this series is better than the last. It also helps that Kidrobot finally included some top tier talent like kaNO, Scribe and Jon Paul Kaiser, who have never designed a Fatcup or Dunny for KR before. I’m especially loving Sket One’s killer “Cover the Cap” design with its tipped over paint bucket and purple and gold Lakers color scheme. Check out all but three of the series’ 18 designs and the ratios for each figure in the official Kidrobot Fatcap Series 3 checklist above.

Fatcap Series 3 will retail for $9.95 per blind box, and goes on sale this Thursday, January 26th at Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot.com and select retailers worldwide. Fatcap Series 3 includes designs by Devious, Flying Fortress, Jon Paul Kaiser, Julie West, kaNO, Kronk, MCA, Montana Colors, Pez, Queen Andrea, Quisp, Scribe, Shok 1 and Sket One.

Peanuts Valentine’s Day Prints by Laurent Durieux

Dark Hall Mansion continues its killer line of Peanuts prints this week with two special Valentine’s Day releases featuring Snoopy by the very talented Laurent Durieux, “Snoopy Just Married” and “Snoopy LOVE”. The Blot wasn’t familiar with the Belgium artist’s work before this release but can this guy draw buildings or what!?! I just love all the texture Durieux adds to both Snoopy and the city landscapes.

Each Print has a Standard Edition with a limited edition run size of 275 pieces, and a super rare variant with a limited edition run size of 50 pieces. The Standard Editions will retail for $65, while the variants Winter Edition “Snoopy Just Married” and My Blue Valentine Edition “Snoopy LOVE” will retail for $100 each. All four prints go on sale this Tuesday, January 24th, at a random time at Dark Hall Mansion online store.
