Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 1 by Funko

Funko continues its line of cute and chunky Pop! vinyl figures with an all new series of Pop! bobble heads. Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Bobble Heads Series 1 includes adorable 3.75” versions of the most popular heroes and villains in the Star Wars Universe like Darth Vader, Yoda, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, a Stormtrooper and even Greedo!

If you’re wondering why Funko is releasing bobble head versions of its Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures (on stands no less) instead of the format they have been producing, The Blot’s guess is it has something to do with George Lucas’ current licensing agreement with Hasbro. Can’t have two toy companies with Star Wars licenses releasing competing “urban” vinyl figures now can we? So instead of releasing Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures that might resemble Mighty Muggs, Funko gives us bobble heads instead.

Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 1 won’t hit store shelves until March 2011, but you can pre-order all seven figures from Entertainment Earth here for $7.99 each.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Screen Print by Jeff Proctor

Is it me or does the Alamo Drafthouse’s Mondo Tees only release killer prints!?! I can’t remember the last bad screen print they’ve produced, and tomorrow’s release is no exception. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” by Jeff Proctor was originally made to commemorate Alamo’s pizza party / screening of the 1990 live action TMNT film on November 30, 2010, and is only now being sold to the general public.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” by Jeff Proctor is a hand numbered 24“x36” screen print with metallic inks. The Regular Edition TMNT print has a limited edition run size of 155 pieces and will retail for $40 each, while the Variant Edition has a limited edition run size of 55 pieces and will retail for $65 each. These screen prints can be purchased directly from Mondo's online store later today, Thursday, January 20th, at a random time.

LTD Tee - Shapeshifter T-Shirt & Art Print Box Set by Thomas Kraky

LTD Tee has released its newest box set, and it’s pretty freaking mesmerizing. “Shapeshifter” is by San Francisco based artist Thomas Kraky, who “was trying to capture that ball of twisting energy a school of fish has, so I kept repeating spirals. I also wanted to see if I could design her clothing to be completely from nature.” Kraky, a 23 year old freelance illustrator, designer and concept artist, incorporates themes of love for the natural world in his work, weaving plants, animals, and people together as one.

The limited edition “Shapeshifter” box set from LTD Tee is available now exclusively at www.ltdtee.net. Each box set includes a screen printed t-shirt and an 8”x10” art print with a certificate of authenticity all packaged in a custom screen printed box.


The “Shapeshifter” box set is currently available for $26.99, and readers of The Blot Says… can use the discount code “blotsays” to receive 10% off!

Barneyism of the Week - Famous Last Words

All those famous last words people “supposedly” said, they’re all made up.

Like that patriotic dude Nathan Hale from third grade history:
“My only regret is I have but one life to lose for my country.”

You know what his real last words were?

“I’m peeing my pants!”

True story.

Dunny Azteca Series II Checklist and Ratios

We’re just two days away from the launch of Kidrobot’s newest 3 inch Dunny blind box series, Dunny Azteca Series 2! To help everyone prepare for Azteca 2’s upcoming release, check out the official Kidrobot Collector’s Checklist above, which surprisingly includes both colorways for the Saner and OCHOstore Dunnys. The Blot may be mistaken, but this seems like the first time KR has included multiple colorways for “common” Dunnys in their checklists.

The ratios on this series are also pretty reasonable, unless you’re a Jesse Hernandez fan. Between this series and Series 2010, Jesse’s 3” Dunnys have been incredibly hard to find

Azteca Series 2 hits Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com and select retailers on Thursday, Jauary 20th, and will retail for $9.95 per blind box.

The Black Cream Edition Ghostface Killah Doll by 4CAST

A huge smile ran over The Blot’s face when I found out 4CAST was finally releasing its vinyl figure (really it’s more of an action figure) of the Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah. Why this made me smile is because one of the very first posts I ever wrote here at The Blot Says… was about this very figure way back at the end of 2007 (you can see the original post here)! Flash forward three years and here we are again…I’m still blogging away and 4CAST is just now releasing its Ghostface Killah “dolls.” I definitely did not see this one coming!

The Black Cream Edition Ghostface Doll stands 9" tall, has a limited edition run size of 250 pieces and retails for $75. Each figure comes packaged in a full color box complete with mix tape and certificate of authenticity. This figure also has an internal voice chip that recites 7 catch phrases recorded by Ghostface himself. Originally this figure was to include two 14k gold accessories, but due to the extremely high price of gold those accessories have been abandoned (and the retail price has been lowered to compensate). The Ghostface Killah figure is currently in stock and ready for purchase here at Entertainment Earth.

Chase Gold Edition Mictlan Vinyl Figure by Jesse Hernandez

The Blot alluded to the chase Gold Edition Mictlan vinyl figure by Jesse Hernandez last month, but now we know for certain they exist and how you can get one! Jesse Hernandez's awesome new vinyl figure, Mictlan the Aztec God of the Dead, will come blind boxed, and 1 in every 10 will be the Gold Chase figure seen above. They look pretty awesome don’t they? And once you get your hands on one you can reenact The Blot’s favorite scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Each Mictlan vinyl figure stands 6” tall, has 3 points of articulation, includes the removable accessory seen above, and comes packaged in a beautiful deluxe box with magnetized flap. Each OG Mictlan retails for $60 each, but who knows how much these chase Gold Edition figures will retail on the secondary market.

Pink Mini-God Dunny by Marka27 - The Dunny Azteca II Series Case Incentive Giveaway

Kidrobot just posted the photo above on flickr and The Blot is pretty excited! What you see here is the hot pink alternate colorway for Marka27’s 3” Mini-God Dunny from KR’s upcoming Dunny Azteca 2 Series. The photo’s caption reads “Dunny Azteca II ‘Special’ Giveaway Dunny,” so I assume this means it’s the free figure given away (while supplies last) to those collectors who purchase a case of Azteca II on January 20th. But I’m not 100% sure of that. Without a doubt more details will be released as we get closer and closer to the Azteca 2 Series’ release date next week.

The Green Hornet Final One Sheet Movie Poster

Today’s the big day for fans of The Green Hornet as the live action feature film finally debuts in theaters. What’s strange is while the movie’s rating on Rotten Tomatoes keeps dropping, The Blot’s actually finding more and more favorable reviews online. Are critics being influenced by their low expectations? One notable paper is even claiming The Green Hornet will be the first big hit of 2011. Is that even possible? At least the marketing campaign for the film has been pretty good. I actually like the movie’s final one sheet, although it is a little strange that Kato is the poster's focal point instead of the Green Hornet.  I know one thing for sure, there's no way I'm seeing this move in 3D!

The Green Hornet, directed by Michel Gondry and starring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz and Cameron Diaz, debuts in theaters today, Friday, January 14th.
