Bandai Godzilla Toys @ Toysrus

Haven't been to Toysrus in a while and saw these Godzilla figures by Bandai. All reasonably priced $12.99-$19.99. Didn't pick any up this time but might go back for the Hedorah.

Kung Fu Panda 2 Toys @ Toysrus

I can just say that I am very disappointed with the selection of Kung Fu Panda 2 Toys / Merchandise there is compared to a GIANT display and another full isle filled with Cars 2 toys/merchandise at my local Toysrus. The selection of Kung Fu Panda 2 Toys you see here are for ages 3-8. There were a small assortment of Smack Talkers which are a small plush that talk when you hit them or drop them etc.... There were 3 versions which included 2 different POs and Tigress. They had a small assortment of small and deluxe sized figures as well as an exclusive Toysrus Golden Kung Fu Cannon. The one you see at the bottom of the shelf is a wrestling Po that you can wrestle with and when you push his stomach he talks.

I loved Kung Fu Panda 2 and really wish there was a little bit more merchandise like a Plush Po or maybe something geared to the older kids/adults. Maybe more stuff will trickle out later. I did pick up 2 Smack Talkers of Po.

Super7 to Release Citrus Pocket Mummy Gator & Grape Fenton Figures

Bob Conge (Plaseebo) MOLEZILLA KickStarter

Bob Conge aka Plaseebo needs your help to make MOLEZILLA in the USA on Kickstarter. He wants to produce the figure at the US based company Veracious Vinyl. Molezilla is a 7" vinyl figure.

"Molezilla is a new 7" high art toy figure that I want to produce in soft vinyl as a limited edition for collectors. I have written the backstory, designed the figure, created the sculpt and made a few hand cast resin prototypes. Now I hope to raise the funds to produce the vinyl edition at a facility here in the US.

What's the big deal about being one of the first vinyl editions to be produced entirely in the US start to finish ?  Well, since the 1960's vinyl figures have been almost exclusively produced in Japan or China.  This project will be supporting the savvy new US company Veracious Vinyl and keeping the work at home. It matters!

Like painting and its big brother sculpture, I believe art toys can make valid statements about our society as well as being a collectible. Molezilla makes his point in the backstory / fable that the figure is based on."

Joe Ledbetter's "Innards" Show at Copro Gallery

Joe Ledbetter's "Innards" Show will be held at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica, CA with the Opening Reception on June 11, 2011 from 8-11:30PM. The Show runs through July 2.

"Opening Reception: Saturday June 11, 2011 from 8:00 - 11:30pm

On view June 11 - July 2, 2011

 

This June, join iconic Los Angeles artist Joe Ledbetter for Innards, the highly-anticipated opening of his new body of work. While most of Ledbetter's previous shows have contained themes or story lines, this show is a departure. Disregarding his past, Ledbetter says he has "erased any self-inflicted boundaries and just let loose." His most fun, colorful and impressive paintings to date are to be expected in this ambitious show.

 

Ledbetter is excited to return for his 3rd show at Copro gallery. When asked about the title of the show "Innards," he explains: "The goal of the show is to open up my work and ignore any restrictions. The theme of the show is that it is theme-less. I want to reveal what's been living inside me for the past year, and I'm ready to spew my guts all over the gallery."

 

Open to the public, the reception for "Innards" will take place on Saturday June 11, 2011 from 8 - 11:30pm, and the show will be exhibited until July 2, 2011."

Updated post: Another new pic added and these will be up for sale soon at Paul Kaiju's Shop! Also a backstory for King Jinx shown below.
  
"Backstory:
King Jinx was summoned from the “Hollow Earth HELL Trench”  By the notorious Captain Slugbeard!

This giant creature has the ability to create and command  thick PHANTOM fog, enveloping ships en route to major ports. It utilizes the powerful “Cobra Flash” on it’s forehead to send false Lighthouse warnings and scramble the ship’s communications , radar equipment, while they are enveloped in the thick PHANTOM fog. Confused, the ships are destined for destruction where King Jinx can feast upon the helpless crews and steal valuable cargo to fill the evil Captain Slugbeard’s  ever-hungry treasure vaults hidden on the dark side of New Catalina Atoll!"
