Monochrome Edition Formaldehyde Face 2.0 Resin Figure by Motorbot

Monochrome Edition Formaldehyde Face 2.0 Resin Figure by Motorbot

What better way to end 2014 than with a brand new figure from Motorbot! The Texas based artist has revisited his popular Formaldehyde Face resin figure, based on the cult classic They Live, and improved upon its sculpt and design. The original Formaldehyde Face is one of The Blot’s favorite figures, and I personally own 5 different colorways of the They Live inspired figure. I can’t wait to see one of these new Formaldehyde Face 2.0 figures in person! I’m especially digging the way the figure now holds out his hand. Now all we need is a remake/sequel of They Live!

Today is the last day to order the Monochrome Edition Formaldehyde Face 2.0 resin figure by Motorbot. Each figure stands 5” tall and is solid, hand cast resin. You can order one between now and the stroke of midnight on December 31, 2014 at the Meathead Toys online store for $35. Look for more FF 2.0 colorways to be released soon.

Batman 75th Anniversary Screen Print Series - “Batman & Robin” by Michael Cho

Geek Art and French Paper Art Club have teamed up with DC Comics to produce a new officially licensed Batman 75th Anniversary Screen Print Series! For this series’ fifth print, they’ve commissioned Canadian artist Michael Cho to pay tribute to DC’s dynamic duo of Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder. The Blot loves Cho’s retro take on these iconic characters, and his use of shadowing is really fantastic!

“Batman and Robin” by Michael Cho is a 17”x24” Batman 75th Anniversary 4 color screen print. Hand numbered and limited to 90 pieces, this print retailed exclusively at the French Paper AC online store for €40. Unfortunately this officially licensed print is now sold out.

DC Comics Retro Sofubi Collection Wave 5 by Medicom - Robin & The Penguin

DC Comics Retro Sofubi Collection Wave 5 by Medicom - Robin & The Penguin

Medicom has announced a fifth wave of its popular DC Comics Retro Sofubi toy line with two new characters from the Batman Universe! DC Comics Retro Sofubi Collection Wave 5 includes Batman’s sidekick, Robin, the Boy Wonder, and the gentleman of crime, The Penguin. I know there are a ton of great Batman family heroes and villains (and of course they had to produce a Robin figure), but how about Medicom give us a few other members of the Justice League? I’d personally love to see a Wonder Woman or Martian Manhunter figure in this retro style, and I’m sure fans would gobble up villains like Lex Luthor or Deathstroke.

The DC Comics Retro Sofubi toy line features old school looking figures cast in soft Japanese vinyl from molds by Bear Model and paint designs by Frenzy. Each figure stands 10” tall, features 4 points of articulation, and come packaged in a full color window box. Robin includes a vinyl cape, but where the heck is The Penguin’s signature umbrella!?! While the DC Comics Retro Sofubi Collection Wave 5 is not expected to ship in May 2015, you can pre-order both figures from Entertainment Earth now for $79.99 each here.

Cheech Wizard & Da Lizard “GOOMPH!” T-Shirt by Mark Bodé


Mark Bodé just released this awesome new long sleeve t-shirt entitled “GOOMPH!”, which features two of the Bode family’s signature characters, Cheech Wizard and Da Lizard! Many of you may also recognize the model above…it’s the one and only DJ QBert! It’s kinda ridiculous how much of a mark The Blot is for Bodé’s (and his father Vaughn Bodé’s) artwork and characters.

Star Wars Holiday Special Boba Fett Vinylmation Vinyl Figure by Disney

Star Wars Holiday Special Boba Fett Vinylmation Vinyl Figure by Disney

The Blot loves all of the Boba Fett Star Wars Vinylmations that have been releasing lately! Just last month Disney released the “Star Wars Holiday Special” Boba Fett Vinylmation, which is based on the character’s appearance in the universally loathed Star Wars 1978 Holiday Special on CBS. While the Star Wars Holiday Special is most widely known for only airing once before being hidden away forever by George Lucas, it also marked Boba Fett’s very first appearance (in a short animated segment). I’ve personally always loved this light blue animated take the world’s most beloved bounty hunter, and it looks fantastic as a Vinylmation figure!

The Star Wars Holiday Special Boba Fett Vinylmation vinyl figure stands 3” tall, is limited to 1,500 pieces, and retailed for $16.95 per blind box at Disney World, Disneyland and the Disney online store. Sadly this awesome figure sold out almost immediately upon release. Ebay here we go!

“Holiday” Potted Groot Guardians of the Galaxy Statue by Gentle Giant

“Holiday” Potted Groot Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Statue by Gentle Giant

Before the flora colossus named Groot appeared on the big screen in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, he was busy making his name in the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book series from Marvel Comics. As a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot helped the team through Annihilation: Conquest, War of Kings, Thanos Imperative and other, major, cosmic battles. Many times Groot has given his all for the team, sacrificing his body. However, as long as a single twig remained, it would re-grow into a new body for Groot. Gentle Giant celebrates Groot, as well as the Christmas holidays, with this festive collectible, the “Holiday” Potted Groot Statue!

“Holiday” Potted Groot Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Statue by Gentle Giant

This polyresin statue is a depiction of Groot, as he was in the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book, while being tended to by Mantis, after being replanted by his best friend and partner, Rocket Raccoon. Featured standing in his pot, Gentle Giant has included interchangeable snow, a scarf, and Christmas lights to decorate one of the greatest trees of all time for the holidays!

The “Holiday” Potted Groot Statue by Gentle Giant is digitally sculpted by Gentle Giant’s master artisans, and is rendered using the highest quality polyresin and hand painted. Each piece comes individually numbered and is paired with a matching certificate of authenticity. And if you are on Santa’s nice list, you will be in for a special surprise! Rumor has it the surprise is a miniature version of the Mattel Black Suit Spider-Man Secret Wars action figure by Mattel. This awesome statue is limited to just 500 pieces and can be purchased now at the Gentle Giant online store for $120 each.

Ant-Man Marvel Vinylmation Eachez Vinyl Figures by Disney

Ant-Man Marvel Vinylmation Eachez Vinyl Figures by Disney

Today, December 26th, Disney will be releasing this awesome Ant-Man Marvel Vinylmation Eachez blind box figure! What a perfect way to get excited for Marvel’s upcoming live action Ant-Man film. An Eachez release is when Disney releases just one single design blind box style with a very rare chase variant randomly inserted. The standard design in the classic Ant-Man uniform worn by Hank Pym, while the chase figure is Ant-Man’s updated look from the 2012 Marvel comic book series FF and worn by Scott Lang. The redesigned uniform is based on the art of superstar artist Mike Allred.

The Ant-Man Marvel Vinylmation vinyl figure stands 3” tall, is limited to 2,500 pieces, and will retail for $16.95 per blind box. The original Hank Pym Ant-Man has a ratio of 9/10, while the Scott Lang FF Ant-Man has a ratio of 1/10. Here’s hoping these pop up for sale today at the Disney online store and are not only available at Disney World and Disneyland.

The Hundreds x Adidas “The Bruder Pack” T-Shirt Collection

The Hundreds x ADIDAS “The Bruder Pack” T-Shirt Collection


The Blot’s been really underwhelmed by the last few collaborations by The Hundreds (Death Row Records, really!?!). So much so I didn’t even blog about them. Thankfully, The Hundreds followed up those stinkers with this super clean and sleek looking The Hundreds x Adidas Collection. While the centerpiece of “The Bruder Pack” are the Stan Smith Vulc sneakers The Hundreds designed, The Blot wants to focus on these awesome black and white The Hundreds x Adidas t-shirts! The Bruder Pack takes its name from the German word for “brother,” and is themed around the partnership and family bond behind The Hundreds brand.

I love these tees for their simplicity, and I think The Hundreds x Adidas Collection mashed-up logos looks freaking awesome! I love how they incorporated Adidas’ iconic old school trefoil logo (now used for the Adidas Originals brand) into The Hundreds’ bomb logo. You can pick up The Hundreds x Adidas The Bruder Pack T-Shirt Collection and so much more at The Hundreds online store and select retailers worldwide. The three tees come in sizes S-XL and retail for between $28-32.

All four Star Wars Series MimoPowerTubes seen here are currently available for purchase at the Mimoco online store for $29.99 each. Each unit includes a USB charging cable with multiple tips (microUSB, miniUSB, Nokia, Apple 30 pin, Apple Lightning) and a carrying pouch to stash it all in one place.
