Return of The Ancients!!!!!

In the deepest parts of the Earth they wait...

The Ancients arrived ages ago from a dimension beyond our comprehension. They wait now-- hidden from all, plotting and planning, resting for the hour of their return.

Will you be ready for the return of The Ancients??????

MULTISKULLS ARE ON THE LOOSE!!!

Monday night at 9PM EST I'll release...

MONSTERFORGE'S OLD-FASHIONED, HOME-GROWN MULTIKUSTOMS!!!



This is a special, ultra-limited custom MULTISKULL figure series by Monsterforge. Only 25 figures have been created for this set.



Each figure is hand painted and sealed with polyurethane protective finish. No two figures are alike! Each figure comes signed and numbered with a signed and numbered micro-print.



These figures are blind-bagged-- so you won't know which one you're getting until you get it! Surprise!



So join me back here on Monday night for this kooky release!

Fighter Pods and Green Friends

So the Hulk has been on my butt about getting some of those new Star Wars Fighter Pods things that just popped up at Walmart. He's just crazy about his mini figures! We made a deal: I'd get a pack if I can keep Boba Fett. He wanted Yoda (because he's green... duh). What were our chances of getting what we wanted? Read on to find out!


Someone looks happy.


So these things come blind-bagged for 3 bucks a bag. Each bag includes two mini figures and a "Fighter Pod." One of the two mini figures is exclusive to the blind bag series and the other is of the kind available in other sets.


Evidently there's some stupid games you can play with the pods. Bleh.


So... how blind are these bags? Not very. In every bag there's a small hole punched in the bottom right that lets you see a little bit of details about the figures you have in each bag. The figures aren't packed inside the ball, so you can move them around inside the bag.


Holey, holey, holey.


But beyond all that is the fact that the white parts of the bag are almost totally see-through. If you can work the figures down below the stupid ball thing you can press them against the white plastic and see them clearly. That's how I managed to find exactly what I wanted.


So... how accurate was my method?



Extremely.


These suckers are adorable. I am totally serious about just how cute these things are. The look on Yoda's face is priceless.


"Raaaaargh! Hulk love green elf!"


When I first saw these I wanted to dismiss the "Fighter Pod" as a piece of useless plastic.


I mean... you can store your figures in them, sure... but they kinda roll all over the place...



And you can spin them, I guess... wait... they don't do that very well either.



But the coolest thing about them is that one half of the ball has a peg that perfectly fits the hole in the bottom of the figure's body. I mean.... they don't really need a stand, but they look kinda spiffy on there. Sadly, it's only on one half... the other peg is too small for the hole in the figures.



They're roughly the same size as the Squinkies, but they aren't as squishy and are sculpted much more dynamically. I really dig the aesthetics of this line over the Squinkies. Squinkies are more cute, and these guys have a bit of edginess to the designs.

So... what does Hulk think of them? I'd ask him, but he's kinda busy right now:





These are tiny (less than one inch tall) figurines... and you only get two to a pack. They're not the best value, to be honest. There are non-blind packs available with 4 figures together with 4 Fighter Pods for 6 bucks, and then there is a set with 8 (I believe) figures, several Fighter Pods, and a couple of cutesy Star Wars vehicles like the Millennium Falcon or Darth Maul's ship done up in this style for like 12 bucks. Either way they run over a dollar a piece per figure... not terrible, but then not fantastic either. I got the one figure I really wanted, so unless I see another one that I can't live without I think I'm good for now.

Well... there were a few Stormtroopers I liked...

Awesome Anomalies!!!

I had a busy day in town today, but when I got home I found that I had a package waiting! I love packages!

NiStuff's Anomalies came in! Wooooooo!!!!



In case anyone hasn't seen these yet, here's a little run-down: Ni, a member of the October Toys Forum, has been making really cool Glyos custom figures for a good little while now, but only recently did he start making totally new figures that are all his own. He eventually sent them to a factory in China and had them made as production figures! There's something just ultra-cool about doing that!



These little dudes are called the Anomalies, and they are 2-3 inch solid PVC figurines that you can get in packs of six representing different races of aliens in his own universe. Each set comes with the Laion, the Ancient Astronaut, the Adaman, the Slir, the SEG and the Strugg. I'm still learning who is who, but I'll tell you this much: they're ALL awesome! If you want a set, check out Ni's store here. At only 15 bucks a set, you can't go wrong! Fantastic figures and a great deal! While you're there check out his more limited custom figures as well!



They're tied in in some way to the Glyos System universe, but I'm not 100% sure how exactly... I'm just getting into the story. They look really cool along with the Glyos figures!



One keen extra cool bit about this six pack is that it comes with a Glyos compatible head of a character called the Subject. How creepy is that? The head is a perfect match colorwise to the gray that has been used for Glyos figures in the past.

The alien races are as follows:


The Laion



The Strugg



The Slir



The SEG



The Adaman



The Ancient Astronaut





The detail is amazing... even the bottoms of the feet are sculpted. I can't rave about them enough!



As you can see the figures are statically posed figurines much like MUSCLE figures. They're a bit bigger, but would look really cool with almost any mini figures.

I can't wait to get some free time to paint these suckers up!

The Kawaiiju.... are gone.



Well... the last of the Kawaiiju have been claimed by kind collectors out there in the real world. I cannot thank all of you enough for making one of my childhood dreams come true. I have always wanted to make toys since the days I would make cardboard monsters in the living room floor to fight my Godzilla toys. You guys who supported me in this endeavor have made me the happiest kid on the planet. THANK YOU!

I shipped off the bulk of the figures today, and the last few purchases will ship out soon.

The lady at the post office looked at me like I was insane (I am) when I came in with that huge box full of boxes. Together she and I filled out all the forms and such, and I managed to ship out 17 boxes at one time. I like to actually take the packages to the post office and send them out that way, because the Click'n'Ship thing adds extra days on the delivery time. My friend who gets waaaay too many packages in the mail figured out that Click'n'Ship adds, on average, about 3-5 days to delivery times. Crazy.

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know where things were with these figures. Keep your eyes on the Kawaiiju thread on the October Toys Forum... I'm sure folks will be showing off their figures and trading them there. I encourage the trading of the figures! It allows you to better get exactly the figures you want, and it introduces you to awesome new people!

If there are any problems with your orders, please don't hesitate to contact me: kawaiiju@yahoo.com. I will try my best to make you 100% happy!

Thanks a million!

GO TIME!!!

Here we go! It's time! The Kawaiiju are GO!

And to commemorate the occasion, here's a little comic strip I created for everyone starring those rascally Toy Break guys George, Ayleen, and Ben... Enjoy!



Now, to purchase your Kawaiiju figures, send an email with the total amount of figures you want, your name, and your address. I'll go through the emails on a first come / first served basis and send paypal invoices back to you with the total price. Send your order email to: kawaiiju@yahoo.com



Once again, for clarity's sake: The Kawaiiju figures are between 1.5 and 2 inches tall and are individually hand sculpted from polymer clay and painted with acrylic paint. Each figure is a totally unique, one-of-a-kind art piece. Each figure will come blind bagged with a hand-made package and a hand drawn art card. A randomly inserted "Golden Ticket" will allow one lucky customer to win the ultimate Kawaiiju figure, "Big Daddy." There are 30 figures in all. Each figure will cost $25 (plus a flat $5 shipping fee in the US and $10 elsewhere).

====================================


Now... to get a chance to win your free God Pharaoh, simply post in the Kawaiiju Thread on the October Toys Forum what super attack move you think God Pharaoh should have. It can be a cool move or a silly one-- the crazier the better! At midnight (EDT) tonight I'll throw all the names of the posters in a hat and draw one winner.



Anyone can enter... you just need to sign up as a member at the October Toys Forum-- it's THE best fan forum in the universe, and I think everyone should join and enjoy all the great times we have there.

Thanks everyone for all the support and love for the figures! You guys are THE best!
