The Toy Box: Kidrobot's Faster Higher Stronger 'Bots

Today's toy from The Toy Box is Kidrobot's Faster Higher Stronger 'Bots. I don't purchase as much Kidrobot toys as I used to. It's mostly due to changes in the direction that the collection has gone.

This was released to just in time for the Summer Olympics I'm guessing lol. The 'Bot is 3" tall. Limited to 2012. Comes with 2 accessories (dumbbell & syringe that says juice). These are still widely available at Kidrobot, Rotofugi and select retailers. Retails for $14.95. The paint on this one was pretty good.

The Toy Box: Bwana Spoons Blue GID Pocket Sleeping Killer

The Toy Box: Real x Head's Bakenofuji

Today's Toy Box features, Real x Head's Bakenofuji.

These are on Glow in the dark vinyl. 3" tall. 

These are pretty hard to get here in the states and was lucky enough to grab these at the right time they went up for sale. These go for about $15 a piece. They are imported from Japan. 

These little sumo guys glow bright! They come in various other colors as well but if you want to catch them all you'll have to be in Japan specifically near the Real x Head store when they get released.

The Toy Box: Funko POP! Sanrio Keroppi & Chi Chai Monchan

Funko's POP! Sanrio Keroppi & Chi Chai Monchan. I bet you're wondering where's the others like Hello Kitty, but don't you worry those will be here soon! =) Got these 2 from the San Jose Toy Show last weekend. Wanted to get the Bad Badtz but the paint job was not too good and they only had 1 left. The booth that I got these from had a killer show special on their POP! figures. Hello Kitty and a few others were sold out by the time I got in since the early bird shoppers had a head start. Ah well, the next show I'll be more prepared!

When I heard that Funko POP! was going to be making Sanrio characters, I was pretty surprised. Well, I guess I really shouldn't be so surprised since there are Hello Kitty collaborations or product releases from other companies besides Sanrio themselves. These look awesome!

The great thing about Funko POP! is that they're really affordable at $10 except the ones that you buy at the Disney Store and Hot Topic which is $12.50 unless you get them on sale or on clearance. There's a ton of them to collect so if you're a Super POP! collector you'll be collecting any and all including chase/prototype figures.

The only downside is the paint apps. Some are horrible while others are very minor and you can live with it. It's best to buy them in person since you can choose the one with the best paint.

Paul Kaiju's El Diablo, El Bebe & Y El Robot Release

The show was Awesome! Lots of new and old toys. There were lots of great deals to be had. There were also door prizes if you wanted to enter the raffle for that upon entering. There were a lot of Star Wars, transformers, diecast cars, Rat Fink, Designer Toys, Funko Pop!, TMNT and so much more. There were bins of loose figures that you could dig through. If you are looking for older toys then you really need to check out this show.
