SDCC 12 Exclusive Unpainted Pink Wooper Looper by Gary Ham

San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Unpainted Pink Wooper Looper Vinyl Figure by Gary Ham

In Tuesday’s massive Wooper Looper post The Blot mentioned Gary Ham would be having a second SDCC exclusive colorway of his popular axolotl vinyl figure, but there was no pic! Now that San Diego Comic-Con 2012 has official started, that can be remedied. Here’s your first look at the SDCC 2012 Exclusive Unpainted Pink Wooper Looper vinyl figure courtesy of Gary's Instgram account. He looks pretty good in pink soft Japanese vinyl, don’t you think? My only problem now is deciding which colorway to get…they both look pretty awesome!

The San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Unpainted Pink Wooper Looper stands 5.25” tall, comes bagged with a header card, and can be purchased at Gary Ham’s SDCC booth #4836 for $50 each.

Donate to Cancer Research in Honor of a Fellow Toy Collector

Donate to Cancer Research in Honor of a Fellow Toy Collector Andy Larkins

The Blot was saddened to learn a fellow toy collector had lost his battle with cancer earlier this week. Andy Larkins, brother to my Twitter buddy Steve Larkins, was a huge toy and comic book fan (Superman and Spider-Man were his favorites) and was taken from his family Tuesday morning at the age of 49. A couple of Andy’s good friends have set up two charity sites raising money for cancer research, and Steve asked if I would help spread the word about the two websites. How could I say no to that! What’s really cool about these sites is the British government will match up to 25% of any donation! On top of that, Andy’s former employer will also match all donations! Pretty amazing, don’t you think? So, please check out the links below and help honor this fellow toy collector by giving (if you can):

SDCC 12 Exclusive Black & Gold Rub Greasebat Vinyl Figure

San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Black & Gold Rub Greasebat Vinyl Figure by Jeff Lamm

Every time The Blot buys a Real Fighting Greasebat I say it’s going to be my last one…then Jeff Lamm and Monster Worship release another epic colorway! I just can’t say no to this awesome figure. For San Diego Comic-Con 2012, Jeff and Monster Worship are releasing the very unique Black and Gold Rub Greasebat, which looks almost like a real weathered golden idol from ancient times! When I first saw this figure I thought it was made of black vinyl with a gold rub, but I now know it’s actually made of white soft Japanese vinyl with a black and gold rub giving it that aged look.

The SDCC 2012 Exclusive Black and Gold Rub Greasebat stands 7” tall, features 3 points of articulation, and can be purchased at Dragatomi’s SDCC booth #4935 for $75 on Friday, July 13th, from 11am-1pm.
