Incoming Toys From Refreshment

Brand Spanking new figures just dropped in from Refreshment in Japan. 1st we have a brand new figure called Sunny which is Cuppy's friend.

SDCC 2011 Toy Haul Spotlight - Gargamel Pockets and Micros

No surprise that Gargamel was one of the booths that brought the heat with not just exclusive releases but also lots of hand painted figures. Each day they would put out different hand painted figures. They also released Le Merde's Painted and Unpainted Megalith figures as well as new Mitari Chan which I failed to notice until after SDCC. Oh well maybe there will be another release. Here's the pockets and micro sets that were picked up.



SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Scented Mini Squishy Erasers by Arbito

Arbito brought 2 different scented Mini Squishy Eraser sets of 3 of his characters (Cosmic Hobo, Patty Power and Seeker). I purchased my sets on preview night and by the time I got home to unpack I was trying to figure out what was the smell coming from my bag of toys. I totally forgot I had purchased these.
Popcorn Scented
Watermelon Scented
These are awesome and smell good too! Even though these are erasers I will not be using these to erase anything. These will be displayed with my Cherry scented Patty Power from last year. I do regret not getting the other 2 Cherry scented mini squishy from last year's SDCC. I think these are still available at Arbito's shop.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Le Miniverse GID Burgerbuns by Le Merde

Burgerbuns is one of my favorite Le Merde character. There is no way I would've passed up on Le Merde's SDCC GID Le Miniverse Resin Burgerbuns. Had to add this to my other Mini Resin Burgerbuns from last year's SDCC release.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Surprise Miltons & Pocket Mummy Gator Release by Super7

Super7 always has surprises up their sleeves. First thing I noticed when I got to the Super7 booth was 2 NEW Miltons. My reaction was What?!? New Miltons!!! For sure I had to buy them. Check them out below!

SSSS Unpainted Clear Green Rose Vampire by Josh Herbolsheimer

If you were a member of SSSS there was a special release of the Unpainted Green Rose Vampire of the SDCC version. These were pretty limited. As a farewell to the Monster Family Rose Vampire, SSSS had the chance to purchase the unpainted version. Thanks to Super7 x Josh Herbolsheimer. A sad farewell to the most popular Monster Family figure. We will see him in a bigger size which is known as the Rose Vampire DX which debut at SDCC as well as in the Coffin Cruiser which is coming out later this year.


SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Honoo by Leecifer x Super7

Super7 x Leecifer's Monster Family Honoo in Clear Orange SDCC Exclusive. Another HOT figure.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Mongolion by L'amour Supreme x Super7

Super7's Snakes of Infinity Pink & GID Swirl Mongolion by L'amour Supreme SDCC Exclusive. Another killer figure. Btw, the Pink & GID Swirls are different on each figure so not all will be the same if any at all.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Pocket Invisiboy by Brian Flynn x Super7

Super7's SDCC exclusive Pocket Invisiboy on clear vinyl by Brian Flynn.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Big Sal by Kathie Olivas & Brandt Peters x Super7

Another SDCC Exclusive from Super7 was an exclusive Metallic Silver Big Sal by Kathie Olivas & Brandt Peters.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Rose Vampire by Josh Herbolsheimer x Super7

Super7 releases the final release of the Monster Family Rose Vampire by Josh Herbolsheimer. This final version was a tribute to the 1st "Green Hell" release but this time in clear green. So sad but fear not as the Rose Vampire is still here in different sizes (DX - Mascot Size and upcoming Coffin Cruiser).

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Little Prick by Brian Flynn x Super7

Super7 releases lovely prickly figure called Little Prick by Brian Flynn. Little Prick made a "brief" appearance for Brian Flynn's 40th Birthday as a special super limited edition release. At SDCC, Little Prick made his debut is his signature color, green with a fresh pair of underwear.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Debut Release/Exclusive Vanilla Filling Foster by Brian Flynn x Super7

SDCC 2011 was the official Debut Release / exclusive of Foster the ice cream sandwich with vanilla filling. Foster is from the creative mind of Brian Flynn who is the owner/founder of Super7 and Hybrid Design. Previously we have seen an unpainted black Foster which was only available to SSSS members and an unpainted blue gid Foster which was only available in Super7's 10th Anniversary Lucky Bags. For those that missed out on this deliciously cute figure check out the pictures below.
