DC Artists Alley Sho Murase's Poison Ivy Standard Figure

DC Artists Alley Poison Ivy sculpted by Sam Greenwell and Designed by Sho Murase. This designer vinyl figure is the standard release which means you get her at everywhere comics are sold. This version is limited to 3000 pieces. The standard colors are red, white and black. She stands 6.75" tall. These retail for $40 but prices can vary between retailers.

DC Artists Alley Sho Murase's Rainbow Iridescent Catwoman Books-A-Million Exclusive Figure

Let's check out this Rainbow Iridescent DC Artists Alley Catwoman by Sho Murase. This version is exclusive to Books-A-Million (BAM!) and limited to 1500 pieces.

The box is simple and to the point. Sometimes that's all you need. 

Here's Catwoman still being held safely in the plastic insert with the plastic ties. 

Love the color and paint on her. It's so sleek and shiny. It's a bit hard to get good pictures though but looks so nice in person. In different lighting the colors will show a bit differently.

Catwoman is sculpted by Jack Matthews. She stands 6.75" tall. She is also on a black base to keep her steady. 

She stands very sturdy with her whip in hand. 


The quality of the paint and figure has been really top notch so far. 

Love the simplicity of the color palette that Sho Murase used here. You don't always need to be intricate or have a lot of colors. Simple yet effective. Very nice!

Here's is a mini art print of Catwoman which is included with this figure. Very nice touch from DC Collectibles.

Thanks again to DC Collectibles for sending us this sample to review.

DesignerCon 2018 Recap!

DesignerCon has come and gone. Still trying to figure out the best way to sum up this year's DCon besides HUGE lol. As you all know DesignerCon moved from Pasadena to Anaheim this year and the venue which is the Anaheim Convention Center made it possible to expand DesignerCon greatly. A lot of artists and companies that were not able to secure a booth in previous years were able to get one this year. DCon was HUGE this year. There was a lot of space between aisles which also meant a lot of space between the rows of exhibitors. It also meant you can look at both sides of the aisle to view the booth's items and so you have more walking to do lol. Planning which booth to hit up this year was very important as the one problem was there was no aisle numbers or booth numbers so sometimes looking for a certain booth you can get lost and end up somewhere else.

This year they had a few mini art shows within the show. They had a huge dinosaur and Jurassic Park vehicles as part of their Jurassic Park 25th Anniversary Art Show. There was also the Shard Dunny 2 Show which featured custom Shard Dunnys from various artists. There was a lot of things going on within the show. Different artists and companies released exclusive items at certain times each day etc... You really had to be selective as artists and companies are very spread out.

Saturday Morning by Funko was pretty busy starting on VIP night. They sold FunkO's Cereal, Cereal Bowls and T-Shirts. Wasn't sure how it was going to pan out but they had a corner spot and a big area to hold their line. Great booth display and Mike Becker was there throughout the show. You could get his autograph or picture taken. They also had cereal taste testing area.

There were a lot of artists and companies that came out from other countries such as Japan etc... Long lines were formed for companies like Refreshment Toy, RealxHead, Goccodo, Skulltoys, Punk Drunkers etc... each day. Other companies and artists that were back this year was Paul Kaiju, MVH, Splurrt, The Sour Lemon, Clutter, Rampage Toys, Touma, Kidrobot, Super7, Unbox Industries, 1000Toys, Lulubell Toys, Bwana Spoons, Gargamel, Cometdebris, Max Toy Co and many many more.

This year we took a lot of pictures. Normally we use both the iPhone and an actual camera lol but one of our photographers injured their hand prior to DCon which meant holding the camera to take pics was painful and uncomfortable. On the other hand, our handy dandy iPhones which are lightweight came to the rescue and we have about 1800 pictures or so to show you. Here's our link to our DCon 2018 Photo Album. There's definitely too many pictures to post here and since we have less time than usual, we didn't have time to watermark them which is also why we aren't posting them here. One thing we do ask is that if you want a picture to post or re-post elsewhere to contact us for permission or credit us when using them.

We left DCon pretty much poorer than when we arrived. There was so many awesome art and collectibles for sale that whatever we thought was enough $$ to spend this year was clearly not enough. Wanted so many more things but had to pick and choose. It sucks from a collectors standpoint for sure but when you have so many artists and companies bringing so much awesomeness all in one place you need to save as much money as you can. For those planning to attend to DCon next year. Plan ahead and save a lot of money. You're gonna need it.

To sum it all up, DCon was awesome this year! There were some things that they could improve on but overall we didn't encounter any major problems. Looking forward to next year! Enjoy the pictures!

San Jose Super Toy, Comic and Collectibles Show Recap

This past weekend was the San Jose Super Toy, Comic & Collectibles Show. The weather was rainy but come rain or shine and it didn't stop people from coming to the show to look for toys and collectibles. The lines were long as usual and they got people moving in as fast as they could to get them out of the rain. Early Bird shoppers were able to get in 2 hours before the general admission shoppers. If you had pre-purchased tickets the line was very short and you got in very quick. The show is much bigger than what we took pics of so here's a little taste of what's at the show.

DesignerCon 2015 Recap!!!

DesignerCon has come and gone but what an AMAZING show this year! The turnout for DCon this year was insane. We've been attending DCon since it was Vinyl Toy Network/Qeeology. We usually take breaks back to the parking garage to unload etc... and usually there are still spaces but boy were we wrong this year. Instead, we would get stalked by other cars hoping that we would leave which we eventually shattered their parking dreams when we would tell them we weren't leaving. This happened not just on Saturday but on Sunday as well. Walking in certain areas of the exhibit hall felt a bit like SDCC. There were more vendors this year. Every space utilized. The Stage moved to another area outside the exhibit hall.

Kidrobot x Frank Kozik to pre-release a limited amout of Baby Huey in Blue and Pink at SDCC 2015. These vinyl figures will be available at select retailers and online on August 6th. Baby Huey is 8" Tall and will retail for $65 each.
It’s all about that fade baby! Pretty hard to step into your Dad’s shoes, even if you have teeny tiny little feet, but a real playa has to try. Relish the opportunity to posses a little whiny evil dictator all your own, either in Playful Pyong Yank Pink or Supervillain Blue!

“No production of high ideological and artistic value can evolve out of a creative group whose members are not united ideologically and in which discipline and order have not been established. It is necessary to collect both color ways in the correct socialist lifestyle manner in order to follow the path of Juche Thought.”, artist Frank Kozik.
