CHEW x Skeleton Crew Studio Original Pink and Yellow Chog Vinyl Figure

How fricken adorable is the new Pink Chog vinyl figure by Skelton Crew Studio!?! Based on the popular frog/chicken hybrid animal from the hit Image comic book CHEW by John Layman and Rob Guillory, the pink and yellow Chog colorway stands 4” tall, has a limited edition run size of just 1,000 pieces and comes hand numbered! CHEW is one of The Blot’s favorite comic books these days, and I’ve been dying to get my hands one the long rumored Chog vinyl figure. At least two more limited edition Chog colorways are in the works, but good luck getting your hands on all of them!

The first Chog vinyl figure colorway can be purchased from the Skelton Crew Studio online store for just $30.

The Designer Toy World Invades Texas at Comicpalooza 2013 with The Sucklord, Nathan Hamill & Scott Tolleson

Comicpalooza Texas' International Comic-Con Logo

It has taken all of The Blot’s willpower not to spoil this news when I first found out about it over 6 months ago. Pack your bags and book your tickets because Comicpalooza, Texas’ international comic-con, will be hosting three of the biggest names in the designer art toy world in Houston this May! The Sucklord, Scott Tolleson and Nathan Hamill will be traveling to Houston Memorial Day weekend to bring a little artistic culture to the Lone Star State.

The Sucklord, Nathan Hamill & Scott Tolleson will be at Comicpalooza 2013 in Houston, Texas May 24-26

It’s so exciting to have my home town convention take an interest in our little niche corner of the art world and I hope by bringing these three talented artists to Houston we’ll be able to take the Texas toys scene to the next level. This is a big toy event for Texas, and I hope to see all of you there (I’ll do my best to tear myself away from changing diapers for at least an hour). I can’t wait to see what Sucklord, Nathan and Scott have in store for us!

Comicpalooza 2013 takes place in Houston, Texas on Memorial Day weekend (May 24-26). Weekend passes are currently available and can be purchased by heading over to the Comicpalooza website. This show has such a killer line-up of celebrities, artists, writers and so much more, and The Blot hopes to see you there!

Ecto-1 Custom Ghostbusters Fatcap Vinyl Figure by Sket One

Yesterday Sket One made the entire designer art toy world drool simultaneous with his unexpected release of this amazing Ecto-1 Custom Fatcap based on the Ghostbusters’s signature vehicle.

The Ecto-1 Custom Ghostbusters Fatcap vinyl figure by Sket One retailed for $550 through the Sket One online store, but sold out immediately upon release. There’s still some awesome stuff in his online store though so definitely go check it out!

Gentle Giant has announced its next vintage Star Wars action figure reproduction and it’s the deadly assassin Dengar! The Blot love that Gentle Giant decided to produce all of The Empire Strikes Back’s bounty hunters in a row, and each looks crazier than the next. Digitally scanned from mint Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 12" tall, this Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars Dengar action figure by Gentle Giant is an exact replica of the classic ‘80s toy!

Injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure includes a faithfully reproduced blaster, is fully articulated and comes packaged on a 1980s Empire Strikes Back style blister card (featuring the original front and “45 back” artwork) with a plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display this awesome action figure.

Heavy Trooper Vasquez Custom 8” Dunny by Huck Gee

Heavy Trooper Vasquez Custom 8” Dunny Vinyl Figure by Huck Gee

Huck Gee continues his line of 8" custom Dunny vinyl figures based on his epic Post-Apocalypse 3” Dunny Series produced by Kidrobot. Long before there was the Dread Squad, there was Enclave 13, the utopian hypercity that became Vasquez's early adopted home. Plucked from the wasteland at a very young age, Vasquez was hosed down, suited up and conscripted into the military academy. It was within the walls of this academy that a young Vasquez would come to meet two of his future Dread Squad mates, Lensman and Thundersticks. Once out of the academy Vasquez quickly worked his way up the military ladder and into the ranks of Enclave 13's Heavy Troopers.

Heavy Trooper Vasquez Custom 8” Dunny Vinyl Figure by Huck Gee

Each figure comes signed and numbered by the artist, and includes all of accessories shown above. Huck created 10 Heavy Trooper Vasquez custom Dunnys, each retailing for $800. Anyone interested should please contact Huck ASAP at sales@huckgee.com to find out about availability.

The Walking Dead Plush Figures by Funko

The Walking Dead Plush Figures by Funko - Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Bicycle Girl Zombie & Well Zombie

Ok seriously, what’s cuter than a disemboweled plush zombie? Absolutely nothing! And that’s why this summer Funko will be releasing a new line of 7” plush figures based on the hit AMC television show The Walking Dead! The first wave of TWD plush figures include Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Bicycle Girl Zombie and the Well Zombie. The Blot’s got a feeling people are going to be fighting over these adorable Daryl Dixon dolls. It seems like everything The Walking Dead that’s Daryl related sells out almost instantly upon release.

Each The Walking Dead plush figure by Funko is modeled after the character’s appearance in TWD television show and stands 7” tall. While these adorably gruesome dolls are not scheduled to hit store shelves until July 1st, you can pre-order all four plushes from Entertainment Earth for $9.99 here.

Star Trek Into Darkness Character Portrait Movie Poster Set

Star Trek Into Darkness Character Portrait Theatrical One Sheet Movie Poster Set - Chris Pine as James T. Kirk

Paramount has released its second set of Star Trek Into Darkness character movie poster set, but sadly these one sheet movie posters pale in comparison to the film’s first batch of posters (seen here). Although these character portrait movie posters are kind of dull with their yellowish brown color schemes, at least they still feature director J.J. Abrams’ signature lens flair!

Star Trek Into Darkness Character Portrait Theatrical One Sheet Movie Poster Set - Benedict Cumberbatch as John Harrison

Star Trek Into Darkness Character Portrait Theatrical One Sheet Movie Poster Set - Zachary Quinto as Spock

What’s great about this set of Star Trek Into Darkness character movie posters is it actually includes different characters from the first poster set. That’s pretty rare these days, but thankfully Star Trek has such a large cast we can get posters for more than just the film’s 4 main leads (Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto’s Spock, Zoe Saldana’s Uhura and Benedict Cumberbatch’s unnamed villain). This time we also got posters for Karl Urban’s Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, John Cho’s Hikaru Sulu and newcomer Alice Eve’s Dr. Carol Marcus.

“It's Growing On Me” Resin Planters by Motorbot

Good bye Deadbear Studios and hello Meathead Toys! Motorbot has rebranded his homegrown resin factory by naming it after his most popular creation. To commemorate the new name he’s released two awesome brand new figures. “It’s Growing On Me” is the first in a new line of resin planters. This 3” tall and 3.5” wide resin figure is a poor little stone fellow with a plant growing out of his head!

Each “It’s Growing On Me” Resin Planter by Motorbot has a hollow head to accommodate a small plant (something like a cactus or small succulent), and has two openings in its feet to allow for drainage. Pick one up in a variety of one of a kind colorways from the new Meathead Toys online store for $25.

Thor: The Dark World Screen Print by Olly Moss

Thor The Dark World Screen Print by Olly Moss - Thor

Has it really been over two years since Olly Moss was commissioned to design a Thor screen print as the wrap gift for the cast and crew of Marvel’s first live action Thor movie!?! Well, Thor: The Dark World (aka Thor 2) will be released later this year and once again Olly was invited to design the wrap gift for the film’s cast and crew. How awesome is that!?! Even cooler is Olly was “paid” for his work with a real Mjolnir! The Blot is all kinds of jealous.

Thor The Dark World Screen Print by Olly Moss - Loki, Odin & Heimdall

What’s particularly bad ass about this Thor: The Dark World screen print is that Olly made a unique poster for each principal cast member with their character as the focal point of the poster. As you can see above there’s Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, Anthony Hopkins’ Odin and Idris Elba’s Heimdall.

Thor: The Dark World premieres in the US on November 8, 2013. Thanks to my buddy @Mycle2313 for the heads up on this incredibly hard to get Marvel screen print!

While The Blot’s got no idea what Thor: The Dark World is about, this poster of Chris Hemsworth as Thor looks awesome and the trailer definitely looks exciting! I surprisingly loved the original Thor film, even Natalie Portman’s annoying Jane Foster, so here’s hoping this film is equally as great. Although do we really need more Jane!?! I’m also glad to see Tom Hiddleston return as Loki, and expect big things from a team-up of the God of Mischief and the God of Thunder!
