Hellboy 5” Mini Qee Vinyl Figures by Toy2R

The Blot won’t lie, I really don’t get this new Hellboy Qee release by Toy2R. Didn’t T2R already do this 5 years ago!?! This new collaboration with Mike Mignola and Dark Horse is a little chunkier and styalized. Plus, this is the first time a Hellboy Qee has been released in Toy2R’s 5 inch “Mini Qee” scale. There are three colorways in this Mini Qee release: Original, B.P.R.D. Edition, and Glow in the Dark.

Each Hellboy 5" Mini Qee vinyl figure is sold separately and features 3 points of articulation. While these are not expected to hit store shelves until July 2013, you can pre-order all three versions from Entertainment Earth for $15.99 each here.

This series of DC Comics x UNKL Super Hero Unipo vinyl figures includes heroes Batman, Superman, and The Flash along with villains The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Mr. Freeze.

Each DC Comics x UNKL Super Hero Unipo vinyl figure features 3 points of articulation and comes individually packaged, but you can purchase a complete set of all 6 figures from Entertainment Earth for $59.99 (that’s just $10 a figure) here.

Prehistory Fossilla Vinyl Figure by Josh Herbolsheimer

After multiple unpainted and one-off releases, Josh Herbolsheimer’s Fossilla is finally seeing its first painted release (nicknamed the Prehistory colorway)! The Blot has to admit, I was kind of undecided about this “Destroy All Kaiju!” figure, but seeing this epic painted version I’m totally sold on Fossilla. The paint does an amazing job showing off Josh’s sculpt (and really helps explains what’s really going on with Fossila’s body). The Prehistory Fossilla colorway is available now through the Super7 online store for $95 each. 

From the annals of time, the terrible creature that said no to extinction, Prehistory Fossilla is here! An ancient asteroid destroyed his world, and he is back with a vengeance! Cast in Volcanic-Ash Grey with black and brown oily-goop spray and blood-red mashed innards under his exposed skeletal remains. This is the first ever painted edition of Joshua Herbolsheimer’s entry into Super7's Destroy All Kaiju! line of standard-sized (9” tall) vintage inspired vinyl figures.
