Super7 Releases Sherbert Swirl Ooze Bat & NES Shirt

2012 is looking to be another awesome year of releases from Super7. A few changes as in release days are now Thursdays instead of Fridays and of course the time is the same, Noon, Pacific.  Also, Super7 is trying something new with Daily Deals in their store. Every weekday, one item will be selected for a special sale price. Deals will last 24 hours and it can be anything from toy, shirts, prints etc..... Daily Deals will start Monday, January 9th.

The Snakes of Infinity's Ooze Bat by Chanmen in Sherbert Swirl. These colors work really well together. Loving the swirl /marbling colorways that Super7 has been doing on their recently released figures. $55 each.

Super7 is also releasing their 1st shirt of the year - NES. There are 15 Nintendo classics from the 8-bit days including one gold cartridge. I spy some of the few games that I played constantly like Punch Out, Contra, Mario etc.... $25 each.

Farewell 2011, Hello 2012

How fitting would it be to end 2011 with more toys? Thanks to Lulubell, a package was delivered with Grody toys today. Grody has made some of our favorite toys this year.

The Last toys to arrive in 2011.
Was thinking about doing a top 10 of the best toys/companies of the year but it was way to difficult to decide so nixed that and besides everyone has their own picks depending on what they collect. We'd definitely say this was a very, very good year for sofubi toys despite the earthquake/tsunami that hit Japan this past March. Some of our favorite toys were by Chima Group, Refreshment, Uamou, Paul Kaiju, Splurrt, Grody Shogun, MVH, Monster Worship, Max Toy, Itokin Park, Super7, Gargamel, RxH, Bwana Spoons, Le Merde etc..... (too many to list).

Thank you to all the artists/companies for making awesome toys even though our wallets dislike you lol!

We would also like to Thank, YOU, the readers for reading our blog and website. We wish you all a Wonderful and Happy New Year! 2012 is going to be an even better year!

Super7 Madness!!!

Love Super7 toys! Here's some of what was picked up within the last couple of months. I forgot to include a few figures like Mongolion, Foster, Patty Power etc... Pretty sure you all saw my Designer Con pick ups so didn't need to re-post those pics.

Trio of Terror!
Did you all pick up your blank Mummy boys for the Mummy Mania Contest? Rules and Entry Form can be found HERE. Have you seen the new Le Turd body? He's been working out! The Zombiefighter is an awesome figure! The all black was a SSSS exclusive. Was messing with the pic and liked the way it turned out. 

My last batch of goodies from Super7 for 2011. Looking forward to 2012 especially the Casket Cruiser!

SARS Membership Re-opens on New Year's Day

If you're a fan of Bwana Spoons, SARS (Skulls and Rainbows Society) will re-open to accept new members starting January 1st, 2012. All levels of memberships will be available in his shop. Definitely a must to join if you collect any of Bwana's figures such as Sleeping Killer, Steven The Bat, Boris, Dolly etc......

Grody Invasion!!!

It's no secret that some of the most unique & creative toys this year comes from Grody Shogun. Grody does a lot of mashups which shows the fun factor with his toys and mashing them up with other artist's toys like Paul Kaiju's Seagool.

The Grody figures have definitely invaded!!!

Releases from the past couple of months.
Grody Shogun x Kaiju Korner Exclusive Monster Karas arrived before Xmas.
These guys arrived from Lulubell a couple days before Xmas.
Didn't open the box from Lulubell until it hit Midnight Christmas Day. Was giddy like a kid and couldn't wait to open the box. I definitely need a bigger shelf!!!

A huge thanks to Lulubell, Amy & Luke (Grody) for making my Christmas extra special with a box full of Grodys! Looking forward to seeing what new craziness Grody will come up with!

Preview Chima Group's 4th Original figure "Wool"

Chima Group showed off their prototype of their 4th original figure called Wool. Wool is a Sun Loving Monster with a scarf around it's neck. Hopefully this will be coming out in the New Year! Can't wait for this guy to be released. : )
