Johnny Cupcakes Valentine’s Day 2011 T-Shirts

Johnny Cupcakes released his Valentine’s Day 2011 t-shirts late last week and The Blot loves them! See what I did there? As you would expect, red seems to be a prevalent theme in JC’s latest batch of t-shirts, and I’m particularly fond of the Valentine’s Day Crossbones tee. Ok fine, I’ll stop with the V-Day puns, but you gotta check out Johnny Cupcakes’s newest hoody, the Original Recipe Pullover. It’s a comfy black hoodie with JC’s original fit hooded sweatshirt. Sounds like just the thing to get you through the long winter nights wherever you might be.

All of the t-shirts above can be purchased directly from Johnny Cupcakes through its online store. The t-shirts come in guys and girls sizes and retail for $34.99-35.99 each, while the hoody retails for $64.99.

First Look: The Incredibles Pop! Disney Vinyl Figure Prototypes by Funko

An interesting thing popped up in Gemini Collectibles’ prototype section last week, two never before seen unpainted The Incredibles Pop! Movie (or Pop! Heroes) vinyl figures! One is of Mr. Incredible and the other, the villainous Syndrome. Does this mean we’ll be seeing a wave of Pop! vinyl figures based on Disney/Pixar’s hit movie The Incredibles? All signs point to yes…and The Blot’s got a sinking suspicious we’ll be seeing more Disney themed Pop! vinyl figures from Funko relatively soon.

Grits Apparel x Complete Clothing “Greasy Spoon” T-Shirt Release Party

On Sunday The Blot attended the H-Town Sneaker Summit and finally got to meet in person an internet friend of mine, Levi of Grits Apparel! Not only is Levi a fellow lover of art, toys and the southern lifestyle, but he also knows how to make some killer t-shirts (see more here). In fact, one of my main reasons for attending the Sneaker Summit was to get my hands on Grits’ newest design, the “Greasy Spoons” t-shirt seen below.  You can pick up one too, in black or blue, directly from the Grits online store for $25!

To celebrate Grits’ newest release, Levi will be teaming up with Austin’s Complete Clothing to throw a “Greasy Spoon” T-Shirt Release Party this Saturday, January 29th from 4pm-7pm. The event will feature Jaekim (91.7 fm KTRU's Phunkwhatchaheard/Houston) on the ones and twos and free adult beverages, all in honor of this exclusive t-shirt collaboration by Grits Apparel and Complete Clothing. All of The Blot’s Austin readers should definitely hit up this killer event, and please tell Levi hi for me.

Tenacious Toys, one of the The Blot’s favorite toy stores, has been tapped as the exclusive retailer of Argonaut Resins’ silver Peace King skulls. These Peace King resin skulls are part of Argonaut Resins’ extremely popular Kings of Atlantis line, and this silver colorway can only be found at Tenacious Toys. The silver Peace King skulls are limited to just 6 pieces, and each one comes with a magnetic talisman, a numbered certificate of authenticity and a custom-designed box.

The Tenacious Toys Exclusive Silver Peace Kings of Atlantis Resin Skulls by Argonaut Resins are available now and can be purchased here for $100.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Mystery Chase Star Wars Vinylmation Series 1 Figures

Now that Star Wars Vinylmation Series 1 has been released, Disney has unveiled it included not one but two mystery chase figures in its Star Wars blind box series. The standard mystery chase figure is Obi-Wan Kenobi, but since you’re guaranteed one Obi-Wan figure in each case, he’s really not all that rare. What’s really cool is Disney also produced an Obi-Wan Kenobi Force Ghost variant figure which they’re calling the Super Chase figure.

This translucent blue vinyl figure recreates Obi-Wan’s look at the end of Return of the Jedi when he, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker reappear from the dead in ghost form. Good luck getting your hands one on of these super rare figures though, they’re already selling for over $300 on eBay (making this one of the rarest Vinylmation figures of all time).

X-Men: First Class Teaser Movie Poster

Is every single comic book movie coming out this summer or what? I didn’t realize X-Men: First Class by Matthew Vaughn was also coming out this summer along with Green Lantern, Thor and Captain America. I don’t know how I feel about First Class, but I like Vaughn and he’s assembled quite the cast. The cast includes James McAvoy as Professor Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, January Jones as Emma Frost, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw and Rose Byrne as Dr. Moira MacTaggert.

From what I’ve read the movie will also feature characters such as Havok, Mystique, Beast, Darwin and Banshee, but no Cyclops? That’s more than a little surprising. What I really want to know is how well will an X-Men movie be received without costumes or the actual X-Men most of mainstream America knows and loves? Here’s hoping there’s at least the formation of the first class of X-Men, like the title read.

I’ve got a feeling Sony will be putting all of its marketing power behind this film, so we should be getting some awesome posters, banners and trailers for X-Men: First Class. Until we know more, enjoy the first teaser one sheet movie poster for the film. X-Men: First Class is scheduled to premiere in theaters everywhere on June 3, 2011.

"Walter Bishop Is My Homeboy" Fringe T-Shirt by Enclothe

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an awesome “Jesus Is My Homeboy” spoof, but leave it to Enclothe to bring the funny with their new “Walter Is My Homeboy” t-shirt. Featuring everyone’s favorite Fringe scientist, Walter Bishop, “Walter Is My Homeboy” is almost as good as Enclothe’s first Homeboy tee, “Baltar Is My Homeboy,” which featured Battlestar Galactica’s Gaius Baltar. Personally, I like the BSG shirt more, but how can you not want a cool Fringe t-shirt featuring Dr. Bishop holding a melting ice cream cone and a brain!?!

The limited edition “Walter Is My Homeboy” t-shirt from Enclothe is a black tee with light gray print and comes in sizes S-XXL. You can purchase one of these awesome shirts, while supplies last, here for $21.

Obey Giant "2nd Amendment Solutions" Screen Print by Shepard Fairey

The first Obey Giant screen print of 2011 comes out today and its entitled “2nd Amendment Solutions.” As you can imagine, it’s about gun control, and believe it or not, Shepard actually began this print before the nation was rattled by the recent shootings in Arizona. The quote at the bottom of the print reads: It’s not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. It’s the one that says “To Whom It May Concern.”

“2nd Amendment Solutions” by Shepard Fairey is an 18”x24” signed and numbered screen print and has a limited edition run size of 450 prints. You can purchase one via the Obey Giant online store at a random time today, Friday, January 21st.

Seeker Tanks and Mini Patty Power & Cosmic Hobo Van Resin Figures by Arbito

This Friday, Arbito will be releasing not 1, not 2, but 3 all new sets of resin figures at his online store. First up is The Blot’s personal favorite, a set of 1.25” Mini Patty Power resin figures. Each one of the six resin Patty Power figures seen above is a hand painted and numbered one of a kind figure. To date, this is the fourth version of Arbito’s far out hamburger and is definitely a must get! For those keeping track, the first three were the OG 6” resin Patty, the Super7 Monster Family vinyl Patty and the mini Patty Power eraser.

Next up are Arbito’s hand crafted resin Seeker Tanks that originally debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2010. Each of the five Seeker Tanks in this set has rolling rubbery tires, twin eyeball cannons, and a custom mini Seeker resin figure in the driver’s seat. These killer looking tanks are all hand painted one of a kind figures that would be excellent editions to any fan’s collection.

Last but not least is an all new four figure set of Mini Cosmic Hobo Van resin figures. Each one of a kind mini Cosmic Hobo Van is 1.5 inches long and comes hand painted by Arbito. The Patty Power and Cosmic Hobo Van mini figures will retail for around $25 each, while the Seeker Tanks will probably retail for around $150. All 15 of the resin figures seen above will go on sale in Arbito’s online store this Friday, January 21st, at 12 noon PST.
