Collaborating with both Masters of the Universe and Frank Kozik himself, MEGA is mighty proud to unleash this buildable Battle Labbit.

Frank Frazetta’s Labbit the Barbarian 10” Vinyl Figure by Frank Kozik x Kidrobot

Now here’s a mash-up The Blot could never have imagined! Thanks to Kidrobot and Frank Kozik, we now know what a Labbit designed by legendary artist Frank Frazetta would look like! Labbit the Barbarian takes Frazetta's famous Conan the Barbarian painting and inserts Kozik’s beloved Labbit in the role of the iconic warrior.

Labbit the Barbarian by Frank Kozik and Kidrobot stands 10” tall and comes packaged in a collectible window box perfect for display, which features Frazetta's original Conan painting. Although this super detailed designer vinyl figure is not scheduled to hit store shelves until later this summer, you can pre-order one now at Entertainment Earth for $100 here.

Kidrobot Exclusive Light Blue Scaredy Labbit by Amanda Visell

Later this month Kidrobot will be releasing the adorably spooky Scaredy Labbit vinyl figure by Amanda Visell! To coincide with that release, KR is also releasing this retailer exclusive “Light Blue” Scaredy Labbit. The Scaredy Labbit is Amanda Visell's take on the goofy, cute and pleasantly off-beat Labbit, and features whimsical ghosts painted on each side.

The Kidrobot Exclusive Light Blue Scaredy Labbit by Amanda Visell stands 10” long and will retail for $75 at Kidrobot.com later this month (Feb 2016).

Scaredy Labbit Vinyl Figure by Amanda Visell x Kidrobot

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost seven years since Kidrobot released Amanda Visell’s first production Labbit, the San Diego Comic-Con 2009 Exclusive Wood Labbit. That’s still one of The Blot’s all-time favorite KR releases. Thankfully Kidrobot is back in the Amanda Visell business, and is set to release this beautiful Scaredy Labbit 10” vinyl figure! I just love how all of Amanda’s production pieces look like they were hand painted in her unique style. Kidrobot always a tremendous job recreating her color palette.

What’s really surprising about the Scaredy Labbit’s release is that even though it’s already available for pre-order in online stores everywhere, Kidrobot still hasn’t announced its impending release. I’m not quite sure what they’re waiting on as it’s supposed to hit stores sometime this month (Feb 2016). Collectors can pre-order this 10” vinyl figure at finer designer toy stores everywhere for $74.99.

But how can anyone choose from one of Frank Kozik’s Labbits, a Brandt Peters designed Dunny or one of three customizable Munny masks (Classic, Pumpkin or Skeleton)?

All 8 Kidrobot Halloween Masks seen here are currently available for purchase at Kidrobot.com for $19.99.

Toy Review: Batman & The Joker Labbit Vinyl Figures by Kidrobot x DC Comics

Although The Blot has been covering and collecting Kidrobot for over 8 years now, I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never owned or reviewed one of Frank Kozik’s adorable Labbits. That all changes today thanks to our good friends at Entertainment Earth who have generously provided these awesome Batman and The Joker DC Comics 7” Labbit vinyl figures to review!!! Please check out the pictures and review below and let me know what you think!

To be completely honest with you, I went into this review with very low expectations. While I’m normally a sucker for any designer art toy that features DC Comics characters, there were two things going against these Labbits: 1) I wasn’t overly impressed with Kidrobot’s Marvel Comics line and 2) The past few years KR’s overall QC has been really bad. That being said, I was seriously blown away by these figures from the moment I opened their boxes!

The one thing Kidrobot has always done well was packaging artwork and these two full colored boxes rock. I especially love how much of The Joker’s personality they put into the box art of both figures. Plus both boxes feature spray paint graffiti style graphics, which tie in perfectly with Kidrobot’s long history of street art themed art toys. The boxes do a great job appealing to fans of both DC Comics and Kidrobot. This is how you meld the world of designer art toys and comic books!

While the packaging is cool, it’s the figures we all really care about right? Let me just say, the Batman Labbit is fantastic! The figure’s paint application is seriously perfect, without a smidge or misplaced line anyway. Both of these DC Comics Labbits are some of the best painted figures I’ve seen from Kidrobot in forever. They went all out on Batman’s super detailed face, and personally I’m glad Kidrobot mad sure to includ Batman’s signature utility belt and a number of his bat-themed tools (including the Batagrang). What really surprised me is that the Batman Labbit came with a removable fabric cape! From the pictures I’d see I always assumed the cape was painted on. But here you get a really nice cape that attaches under the figure’s chin via Velcro.

Fans of The Joker will also love this retro styled Labbit! The Joker Labbit sports his traditional purple pinstripe suit and even has a bow on its back (just like DC’s old school Super Powers designs). And of course it’s not the Joker without his signature green hair. Surprisingly, The Joker’s overall paint details aren’t as complicated as Batman’s, but man is the Joker’s face sooo killer! Just look at that menacing grin and deep black eyes! Both 7” long figures also include a character specific accessory, a Joker playing card for Batman and a squirting flower for The Joker.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Batman or a die-hard Labbit collector, these DC Comics x Kidrobot Batman and The Joker 7” Labbits are not to be missed! Both mid-sized figures turned out perfect and you won’t be disappointed spending your hard earned money on these figures with their exceptional paint detailing. They will definitely make a great addition to any collector’s toy collection!

Both Batman and The Joker Labbit 7” vinyl figures are currently available for purchase from Entertainment Earth for $59.99 each here. And as always, Entertainment Earth is offering free shipping on all orders of $79+ for in-stock items and select pre-orders.

Batman & The Joker Labbit Vinyl Figures by Kidrobot x DC Comics

The final release in Kidrobot’s new DC Comics Vinyl Figure Collection has been released and it’s these awesome Batman and The Joker 7” Labbits! The Dark Knight and The Clown Prince of Crime have been redesigned by Frank Kozik and been given the Labbit treatment. The Batman Labbit comes wearing his traditional black and gray outfit and includes a deck of Joker playing cards accessory, while The Joker Labbit wears his signature purple suit and comes with a squirting flower in his teeth.

These DC Comics x Kidrobot x Frank Kozik Labbits stand 5” tall x 7” long x 4” wide and come packaged in a full colored box. Both the Batman and The Joker Labbit vinyl figures are currently available for purchase at Entertainment Earth for $49.99 each here.

DC Comics Blister Card Labbit Mini Figures by Kidrobot

Kidrbot’s first line of DC Comics vinyl figures hit the market last week and they look pretty sweet! The DC Comics Blister Card Labbit mini figure series includes 6 of the mightiest heroes and dastardly villains of the DC Universe. Each figure is 2.5” long and includes a character specific accessory, like Batman and a brown bag lunch from Alfred, Superman with Kryptonite, Green Lantern with his power ring, Cyborg with an oil can, Red Hood with a grenade and Bane with a barbell. Frank Kozik’s Labbit never looked so heroic!

Each DC Comics 2.5” Labbit vinyl figure comes packaged on a full color blister card and retails for $11.99 each. Collectors can purchase a full set of all 6 figures from Entertainment Earth for just $54.99 here.

Rocket Raccoon Marvel Labbit 7” Vinyl Figure by Kidrobot

When Kidrobot announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 that they’d be releasing a Rocket Raccoon Marvel Labbit, The Blot got so freaking excited! Who wouldn’t want a 7” Labbit of the Guardians of the Galaxy’s second in command!?! Unfortunately, I feel like this release is a big missed opportunity. While the life-like poseable tail is a nice touch, I’d much rather have seen a giant vinyl blaster! And what’s with the color? This bright red vinyl seems so random and not character accurate, which is really disappointing because I wanted to like/buy this Marvel designer vinyl figure.

A genetically engineered anthropomorphic raccoon, Rocket's DNA has been spliced into Labbit for a truly trans-galactic toy experience. Selected specifically for his high butt-kickery cell count that meshes perfectly with Labbit's own roguish nano-structure, the Rocket Raccoon Labbit sports a real faux fur tail and doubles down on pure 'tude. The Frank Kozik x Marvel x Kidrobot Rocket Raccoon 7” Labbit is currently available at Kidrobot.com and specialty stores worldwide for $49.99.

Kidrobot x Marvel Wolverine & Venom Labbit T-Shirts by Frank Kozik

The designs of these Marvel Labbit figures continue to impress! If like The Blot you’re loving these Marvel Labbits then you’ll also dig these new Wolverine and Venom Labbit t-shirts designed by Frank Kozik. Why just add these mischievous Labbit heroes and villains to your designer toy collection when you can also add them to your closet!

The Kidrobot x Marvel Wolverine and Venom Labbit T-Shirts by Frank Kozik come in sizes S-XXL and are currently available for purchase at Kidrobot’s online store for just $15 (which is a crazy low price for a KR tee these days).

Marvel x Kidrobot Mini Labbit Blind Box Series 2

Featuring some of the wickedest heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe, the Marvel Mini Labbit Series 2 by Kidrobot includes ten dangerous, dominating, and devouring characters. From Cap’s patriotic stubble to Carnage’s creepy red crust, Labbit is truly transformed into the mightiest Marvel icons to date. A mix of super villians and anti-heroes, these Labbits are the ultimate Smorkin’ Machines. The Marvel x Kidrobot Mini Labbit Blind Box Series 2 includes heroes Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, the Silver Surfer, Cyclopes and the Fantastic Four’s Thing, and villains Carnage and Anti-Venom.

Each Marvel Mini Labbit stands 2.5” tall and will be sold blind box style beginning on March 7th. Collectors can visit Entertainment Earth to purchase a case of 20 blind boxes for $199.99 here, or a 4-pack of blind boxes for $39.99 here.

Marvel x Kidrobot Deadpool & Ghost Rider Labbit 7” Vinyl Figures

Kidrobot’s Labbit vinyl figure dives back into the Marvel Universe on a new conquest of domination. Naturally attracted to the baddest butt-holes around, Labbit becomes two of the most wicked and sadistic superheroes from the Marvel Universe in KR's newest release, Deadpool and Ghost Rider!

Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth, was left for dead but too vengeful to die. Now he’s back to smork you as a samurai-sword-dagger-tommy-gatling-shot-gun wielding red and black vinyl antihero loaded with ammunition in the front and the behind. Johnny Blaze made a deal with the devil that merged his soul with a demonic force transforming him into the skeletal being with flaming head known as Ghost Rider! Riding the thin line between earth and hell, Labbit’s demonic half takes control as the newest stunt rider Ghost Labbit.

The Ghost Rider 7” Labbit goes on sale March 7th, while the Deadpool 7” Labbit goes on sale March 13th. Both vinyl figures are available for purchase from Entertainment Earth for $44.99 here.

First Look: New DC Comics x Kidrobot Vinyl Figures

For The Blot the biggest announcement coming out of ToyFair 2014 was Kidrobot’s acquisition of the DC Comics license! Kidrobot will be releasing a ton of new officially licensed toys this year, but the only property they hadn’t leaked any information on coming into ToyFair was their collaboration with DC Comics. As you know The Blot’s a HUGE DC Comics fan and I have been seriously drooling over these ToyFair 2014 pics courtesy of ToyArk.com!

The Blot especially loves seeing so many different Kidrobot x DC Comics offerings. According to Kidrobot’s ToyFair 2014 booth the toy company will be releasing a line of blind box DC Comics New 52 mini figures, a line of blind box DC Comics Labbits, individually carded DC Comics Labbits and a retro line of Super Powers DC Comics Mini Figures! The Blot’s kind of obsessed with all things Super Powers, especially blister card packaging, so you know I’m going to be all over this release.

What’s really cool about this release is the variety of characters Kidrobot will be including in their DC Comics toy lines. Of course you’ve got Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League, but there’s also Animal Man, Deadman, Blue Beetle, Firestorm, Swamp Thing and multiple Red Hood figures. But what’s a guy got to do to get a Booster Gold figure included in one of these releases!?! More details to come soon!!!
