Disney Vinylmation Toy Story Series

Coming soon to Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort is the brand new Vinylmation Toy Story Series featuring all of your favorite characters from Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 3! The Disney Vinylmation Toy Story Series includes 11 characters and 1 secret mystery chase. This series actually looks pretty cool, but I was disappointed to learn they left out some of my favorite Toy Story characters like Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Slinky Dog and of course those cute, lovable squeeze toy Aliens.


Disney Vinylmation Toy Story Series includes Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Bullseye, Lotso, Big Baby, Army Sarge, Buttercup, Rex, Wheezy, Hamm and as the mystery chase, Hamm as Evil Doctor Pork Chop. There’s been no word yet as to the official release date of this new Vinylmation Series, but The Blot’s got a feeling it’s going to be very popular among diehard Disney/Pixar fans.



Disney’s Toy Story 3" Vinylmation Series will be sold as blind boxes for $9.95 each at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and at Disney’s official online store.

Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series #4 - Hoth by Dan McCarthy

The fourth screen print in the Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series was unveiled yesterday and it is entitled “Hoth” by Dan McCarthy! McCarthy is a huge name in the world of screenprints and his landscapes are always breathtaking, so I would expect the combination of a McCarthy print with Star Wars to mean a super fast sellout.

(click on the photo above for a more detailed look)

And if you’re wondering how we know this beautiful snowy landscape really is the icy planet of Hoth, you can see a viper probe droid in the foreground, sent by the Empire to search for the Rebellion’s secret Echo Base (as seen in The Empire Strikes Back). The Blot loves Star Wars, but what’s really cool about this print is that it could be hung on your wall and most people would not necessarily know it was Star Wars related. Sometimes that’s a good thing when your significant other isn’t in to sci-fi.

“Hoth” by Dan McCarthy is a hand numbered 12″x36″ screen print with a limited edition run size of 475. Each print retails for $50 and can be purchased directly from Mondo Tees at a random time today, Friday, August 20th, here.

Threadless Sesame Street “The Real Mmmmmph Mmmph Monster!” T-Shirt

Is it me or is Sesame Street making a come back in the coveted 18-35 marketing demographic? I’ve seen a lot of Cookie Monster parody shirts pop-up recently, and “The Real Mmmmmph Mmmph Monster!” continues that trend with a unique take on the insatiable blue monster. Re-imagining Cookie Monster as if he were a real monster, Threadless’ “The Real Mmmmmph Mmmph Monster!” features a blue monster that looks eerily similar to those classic Japanese giant monsters like Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.

The Real Mmmmmph Mmmph Monster! by Jimmy Breen

The Sesame Street inspired t-shirt “The Real Mmmmmph Mmmph Monster!” comes printed on a red t-shirt and is currently available on sale at Threadless.com for just $10 (regularly priced at $18). The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

FIRST LOOK: Rare Aya Kakeda Centaur Dunny from Kidrobot’s Dunny Series 2010

Thanks to Rotofugi, we now have our very first look at Aya Kakeda’s Dunny Series 2010 design, and it looks awesome! Aya’s Centaur design is a standard Dunny with an accessory of two back legs which attaches from behind. While the figure looks great, with a ratio of 1/400 very few of us will be able to add it to our collections. Expect to pay some big bucks if you’re not able to pull this four legged Dunny from a blind box.


Each Kidrobot’s 3” Dunny Series 2010 blind box retails for $7.95, and goes on sale today at all Kidrobot locations, Kidrobot.com, and stores worldwide. If you’d like to try and attend an official Dunny Series 2010, check out the list of participating stores here. And you can print out the official Kidrobot Dunny Series 2010 Collector's Checklist seen below to keep track of your pulls and needs.

GID Bacon Mad'l by Sket-One & West Coast Signing at Crewest LA

While we’ve known about the upcoming Wizard Sleeve Toys Exclusive Bacon Mad'l by Sket One for a while, what came as a total surprise is the uber-rare Glow in the Dark chase that mysteriously showed up at Sket’s east coast signing! While the standard Bacon Mad’l will be available at WST’s online store soon, these super-secret GID chase figures will only be available for purchase at Sket’s east and west coast Bacon Mad’l release parties…although rumor has it you might be able to pull one blind box style on Bacon purchases from WST.


If you missed the signing at Kidrobot NY a few weeks ago, you’re in luck…Sket will be signing again this Friday in LA. The official west coast release party of Wizard Sleeve Toys’ Bacon Mad'l and a special signing with Sket One will take place this Friday, August 20th, from 6-9 pm at Crewest LA.


Sket’s Bacon Mad*l is 5.5 inches tall and the regular edition has a limited edition run size of 300 pieces. No word yet on the run size of the GID chase, but it’s pretty rare! Best of all, the Glow in the Dark Bacon Mad'l features silver blood splatter instead red. These figures will most likely retail somewhere around $45-60 each, I haven’t seen an exact price yet.

Spanky Stokes Exclusive Ash Tuttz Wave 2 by Argonaut Resins

The Blot’s been waiting for the reveal of the SpankyStokes.com Exclusive Ash Tuttz Wave 2 resin figures by Argonaut Resins for a while, and boy did they deliver! END has been killing it with his Wave 2 releases lately, and the Ash series is no exception. Of course I favor the Batman inspired Dark Knight Hellion Tuttz, but I’m also really digging the Kaws inspired Fake OG Black Clear Tint Tuttz.


The Spanky Stokes Exclusive Ash Tuttz Wave 2 by Argonaut Resins consists of six figures: Fake OG Black Clear Tint, Dark Ash Clear Tint, Dark Knight Hellion, Sylvester, Ash UnderWorld and Smokey Jade Tint. If you like the Tuttz platform and have been trying to pick a colorway and/or wave to go after, this is the one…each piece is so unique and I love that it includes three very unique clear tints.

These six resin figures will be sold blind box style for $50 each, and go on sale today, Thursday, August 19th, at noon PST in the SpankyStokes online store. Each figure comes packaged in custom a custom box and includes a signed certificate of authenticity.

Clear Purple with Glitter Mummy Boy by Super7

This weekend sees the release of a sparkly new take on the Super7 mascot Mummy Boy. This Clear Purple vinyl with Glitter Mummy boy is one of The Blot’s personal favorites, and I can’t wait to see this killer piece of vinyl in person!


The Clear Purple vinyl with Glitter 8” Mummy Boy goes on sale this Saturday, August 21st, at 11am PDT at Super7’s online store.

Threadless Alfred Hitchcock “Those Damn Birds!” T-Shirt

“Those Damn Birds!” is a funny pop culture themed design that combines Alfred Hitchock’s trademark profile shadow with one of his most popular films (The Birds) in a most unique way. I think you can probably figure out the connection just by looking at the design below without The Blot going into too much detail! I’m also really digging Threadless’ choice of t-shirt colors for this design. The black and turquoise color combination does a great job highlighting the white splat on Alfred’s head.

Those Damn Birds! by Alvaro Arteaga Sabaini

The Alfred Hitchcock inspired t-shirt “Those Damn Birds!” comes printed on a turquoise American Apparel t-shirt and is currently available on sale at Threadless.com for just $10 (it is normally priced at $18). The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

Iron Man 2 Iron Man Mark VI & War Machine 100% Be@rbricks

The newest 100% Be@rbrick Blind Box Series, Series 20, is currently on sale in stores worldwide. While The Blot has yet to find any Series 20 blind boxes locally, I’m on the lookout for them because of one specific reason…it ties in with Marvel’s Iron Man 2! Best of all, not only does Series 20 include an Iron Man Mark VI Be@rbrick, but Medicom also included a secret chase Iron Man 2 Be@rbrick, a War Machine variant figure. Don’t these figures look great?


Be@rbrick Blind Boxes retail for around $10 and are currently on sale in stores around the globe.

Brightest Day Action Figures Series 2

Brightest Day, the bi-weekly DC Comics' follow up to Blackest Night, continues as the mystery behind the white light that resurrected twelve heroes and villains begins to unravel. Though the exact reasons for their rebirths remain a mystery, each is destined to play an intricate role in the future of the DC Universe. DC Direct’s Brightest Day Series 2 features three recently resurrected heroes, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Firestorm, and one previously resurrected hero, Mera.



Each Brightest Day action figure stands at 6.5-6.75" tall, features multiple points of articulation, includes a display base and comes packaged in a 4-color clamshell blister card. These resurrected heroes are scheduled to go on sale April 6, 2011.
