Another month down, and this one was fairly light for the site in comparison to earlier months. Why is that? Work. Lots and lots of work. And the New York Toy Fair trip didn’t help any, even if it did give me a chance to take pics, meet people, and get some new toys. No [...]

It’s such a beautiful day here that Gina and I took the dogs for a walk to the park . . . and I immediately turned us around so that I could grab robots and the camera. I love when the water’s high around the park because it lets me take some fun shots of [...]

I just mentioned the Kaws Stormtrooper this morning (mentioned here), but it’s time to talk about the toy again because of BFLV’s Stormtrooper set at Flickr. Man, this photo makes me really want the toy. I still don’t get all that excited by Kaws’ usual work, but this Stormtrooper design is gorgeous. $600 is just [...]

Here’s a custom Glyos toy (Onell Design) that I just wrapped up this last week. Built out of too many Glyos parts, sculpey, resin bits, and doll eyes, this guy is massive. And the nice guy that he is, Matt helped me decided exactly what to do with the finished toy: this toy’s shipping off [...]

Now here’s what looks to be a great book, and it’s available from both Sideshow Collectibles* and Amazon.com**. Star Wars: 1,000 Collectibles is over 500-pages of photos of cool Star Wars items, and the photos over at the Sideshow Collectibles website make me think I would love this book. I’m not a Kaws fan, but [...]

The World’s Smallest Transformers Shockwave that I ordered (mentioned here) is sitting at the post office waiting for me. I’d have him now, but someone decided that closing the post office at 11 on Saturdays is a good idea. Who makes these decisions? Poor Shockwave. He has to spend the weekend trapped in a box [...]

I’m not sure what the image means, but the latest post at TheGodBeast’s blog promises something nasty for the Glyos System (Onell Design).

One of the booths at the New York Toy Fair that was very uninviting was the McFarlane Toys booth. It wasn’t as sealed off as other booths, but everyone in the booth I tried to talk to made it very clear that they couldn’t be bothered with me. So I looked at some of the [...]

You know, usually it’s toybot studios showing me the awesome that is the Toygraph Space Troopers series of vinyl toys (my ‘Letter to Santa’ here). The toys are fantastic, with skull-headed and monster-headed creatures in fun-looking, retro-styled space suits. Well, now Kaiju Chronicle is getting in on the action, showing me these fluorescent Space Trooper [...]
