The Toy Box: Medicom's Ren & Stimpy "Space Madness" Bearbrick Set

Medicom's Ren & Stimpy "Space Madness" Bearbrick Set. Oh come on! Who doesn't love Ren & Stimpy? Favorite Cartoon ever!!! So stoked to see these released. It's a shame they couldn't make some of the other characters from the Ren & Stimpy show. Medicom also released regular versions that was in their Horror series a couple of years back. They also made 400% bearbricks as well.

Since these were on a blister pack, I didn't want to ruin the card so did not open it. If you love Ren & Stimpy you have to have these!!!

The Toy Box: RxH Mini Tanuki

Today's toy from the Toy Box is RxH's (Real x Head) Mini Tanuki x3. These are Japanese Raccoon Dogs. 3.5 inches tall. Couldn't pass these up when they popped up at a U.S. retailer. It's definitely hard to get these unless you are living in Japan. The ones shown above are Brown with white eyes, Pink & Brown with yellow eyes.

From Wikipedia, The legendary Tanuki has eight special traits that bring good fortune. They are:

• a hat to be ready to protect against trouble or bad weather;
• big eyes to perceive the environment and help make good decisions;
• a sake bottle that represents virtue;
• a big tail that provides steadiness and strength until success is achieved;
• over-sized testicles that symbolize financial luck;
• a promissory note that represents trust or confidence;
• a big belly that symbolizes bold and calm decisiveness; and
• a friendly smile
