Charatics at Wonder Festival August 12th
Yes, another Wonderfestival toy show is upon us. August 12th, we have next Japanese toy show and yet another opportunity to buy more Japanese vinyl. I suspect with SDCC just over, it's gonna be tough for most of us to find the 'scrilla to throw down. On the other hand, perhaps with less competition, it does provide an opportunity as well. Hell, I dunno. I'm just trying to figure out when enough is enough.
Anyhoooooooo, we've got beloved Charatics stepping it up with some new colorways of a couple of their best hits....above, new Godzilla in tank colorway. Where's the helmet?? All Charatic tanks must come with a helmet from now on!!!
Who can resist the mini King Walder Set in clear vinyl? Not me!!!
How about the mini set in clear with metallic inserts? Put me down!!
New Invaders colorway. Gonna pass...
New mini Matango in clear with black box. Sign me up!!
New Rumble Monsters Pharaon?? Hmmmmmm, I like the red head.....
Super 7 Selections from San Diego Comic Con!!!
Although I didn't get to attend SDCC this year, it doesn't mean I didn't get the opportunity to drop some major cash on a lot of the awesome offerings. Some of the stuff is starting to roll in and I will be featuring as much SDCC goodness as you guys can handle over the next several days. We begin with selections from Super7 exclusive SDCC offerings.
Above and below, Rumble Monsters "Acid" Damnedron set. Should have named it "Blueberry". Beautiful clear blue vinyl!! Still available if you call Super 7!! Get these guys before it's too late!!
RealxHead "Bruised" Chaos. This could be my favorite all time Chaos colorway. Dear Mori and Brian, please feel free to do an entire set in this sweet-ass, bust 'em up colorway!
Finally, we have a pair of Super 7 Exclusive Ghostfighters from Secret Base designed by Brian Flynn. Both with plushie inserts, the blue one was the secret release at the Super 7 booth for the die-hards that stayed until Sunday at the show and is sold out. Super sweet!!!!
There were many other SDCC exclusives including the Dokuwashi, clear Ghostland series and their new fight figure debut of "Stomp", but sadly, there is only so much money for so many SDCC toys!! Do yourself a favor and head over to Super7 online store and see what SDCC leftovers you may be able to still snag!!

SDCC Sightings!!!
Since I couldn't go down to SDCC this year, I had to steal photos to post from cool guys like Michael from Artoyz! I don't feel that guilty since i'm an Artoyz customer too! Check them out for a great mix of western and Eastern designer toyz!! I also had to steal pics from another cool guy named Eddie from Pixie Gallery Store. Check out his site for even way more great shots from SDCC!! Thanks to both Michael and Eddie for their generosity and pity!!
Above is probably the MUST HAVE mini set of the Con from Gargamel. Perfection in clear lavender vinyl of Micro Zag, Smogun and Deathra. Oh my!!
ok, I lied, the MUST HAVE piece from the show is this clear blue Smogun from Gargamel with Inserts. Huge Bonus that it came with an amazing print by Chanman himself!! I told my buddy that if he can only get me one toy from the show, this would be it. Make it priority One!!! Know what? he came through like a champ with this guy and even more!! More pictures later this week!!!
