Funko Announces Ren & Stimpy, Catdog, Baxter Stockman & South Park SDCC 2017 Exclusives

Funko just announced Wave 4 of their SDCC 2017 Exclusives which is themed CARTOONS!!! There's a 2-pack of Ren & Stimpy ( Happy Happy Joy Joy Versions), Flocked Catdog, TMNT's Baxter Stockman, South Park's The Coon & Mint-Berry Crunch POP! Vinyl Figures.

As much as we love their other exclusives that were announced, this wave so far is the best yet!

What is Your Dream Loot Crate?

We've been subscribers to Loot Crate for a few years now. They've also been looking to find out what fans and Looters would do if they could design their own Dream Crate. So when we learned all about the project, we decided to join in on the fun.

Our Dream Loot Crate would be themed Saturday Morning TV 80's Edition. It would feature items from TMNT, Ewoks, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Alf, Pee Wee Herman, Smurfs,and My Pet Monster. Also the inside of the box would turn into an 80's TV with extra card cutouts of our favorite shows to put through the screen.

• TMNT Miniature Diorama (TMNT fighting Shredder/Krang/Foot Clan in the Sewer)
• For Ewoks, a Plush Wicket or maybe a bunch of Ewok plushes.
• Scooby Doo with Scooby Snacks Mini Vinyl Figure
• The Flintstones Mini Art framed featuring the Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Barney, Betty and Bam Bam as well as Dino.
• Pee Wee Colorforms but a miniature version featuring items from Pee Wee's Playhouse
• My Pet Monster Plush Keychain
• Talking Alf Bobblehead

We chose these subjects because we haven't really seen much of these properties in Loot Crate yet. A lot of adults that grew up in the 80s remember watching these shows on Saturday Morning and catching the latest toy commercials.

Of course everyone has their own Dream Loot Crate, but this would be ours.

This Saturday is the San Jose Super Toy, Comic & Collectible Show!

This Saturday is the San Jose Super Toy, Comic & Collectible Show at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA.  Great time to pick up some gifts for Christmas or for yourself!

IDW Teams Up with Cartoon Network

IDW just announced that they will be teaming up with Cartoon Network in bringing back some classic cartoons back to comics.

Beginning in 2013, fans can look forward to seeing the returns of beloved characters from classic Cartoon Network shows including THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, BEN 10, DEXTER'S LABORATORY, SAMURAI JACK, JOHNNY BRAVO, GENERATOR REX, and many more.

“Many of these Cartoon Network shows have only grown in popularity since they originally aired,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief, “and we’re excited to be able to offer new iterations of the characters in comic-book form alongside both our planned reprint material and also some new animated ventures Cartoon Network has planned, too. There’s a wealth of fun properties to play with here, and we’ve already got some unique things in mind for them.”

Specific Titles have yet to be announced but definitely looking forward to their reveal. 

The Toy Box: Hanna-Barbera PVC Figures

One of the best finds or releases regarding Hanna-Barbera figures were these little PVC figures by Big Head Company. Got these quite a few years ago. They are sorta blind box if you buy them separately but if you buy them by the case you are guaranteed a whole set. For such small figures the quality is superior to those of lets say Jazwares PVC figures which are in stores now. These were made in China but produced by Big Head Company located in Japan. There are 16 PVC figures to complete the set.

First up is the Jetsons. Totally remember watching The Jetsons every morning before school. Here's George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, Astro & Rosey.

Wacky Races - Penelope Pitstop, Dick Dastardly & Muttley.  Secret Squirrel & Morocco Mole.

Baba Looey & Quick Draw McGraw, Atom Ant, Wally Gator & Mr. Twiddle

Never really found out if there were more series made after this one. If you're a huge Hanna-Barbera fan or if these bring you back to you when you were a kid, definitely track these guys down. These are small enough to fit on your desk at work.
