How To Pose Your PUSHEAD Siamese Captains

Just messing around a bit. We already have seen this pose below. Boring. How about switching it up a little? When shelf space is limited, you gotta go up...like a totem pole...!









The dreaded Siamese Centipede

Time with Lorne. Toy Tokyo NYC

Lorne talking about Blind Boxes reminded me of the last visit to Toy Tokyo five years ago. I had to dig deep for this post:

On a recent trip to Toy Tokyo in New York, I looked at the Metal Gear Solid trading figures and thought there is only one that I didn't want out of the entire series which was the lame computer girl Emma. Of course, I got her. I was pissed, but I was compelled to buy another one so I wouldn't leave disappointed. So I bought another one and got Emma again. I was beside myself at this point and I knew I couldn't leave without one figure that I liked. I wanted to buy another one, but this time the guy behind the counter let me bend the box so I could see inside and it was another Emma! I was bummed and after shelling out $10 each, I just left both Emma’s behind.

Ron English Show at NYCC 2010

Another un-expected highlight for me at NYCC 2010 was the Ron English Show. Say what you will about his toys, but his art is mind-blowingly awesome. The venue really added to the ambiance. It was a pop-up gallery in a trendy neighborhood and it was pretty big. Three floors. Really open space with high ceilings. One had a lot of room to check out the artwork. The detail in Ron's work is amazing.

Nistuff x Onell Design....!

At SDCC this year, I spied these custom Onell Glyos figures that were awesome. I thought they were prototypes or something that Matt sculpted, but they were done by this kid Nick aka Nistuff. I purchased all three on the spot. So when I had the chance to meet him in NYCC, I bought a bunch more. Based on the Glyos figures, Nick's look like they come from the same Universe. Similar, but different. They look more organic. The paint jobs are also really interesting. Some matte with a wash, some glossy. Nick also incorporates integrated weapons onto the arms which adds a nice touch. Check 'em out. You will want more.

Halloween? No! Cosplay from NYCC 2010...!!

Halloween custumes? Yes, probably used this weekend as well, but these pics are from all the Cosplayers from NYCC 2010 a few weeks ago. Why am I still posting shit about NYCC? Better late than never...!

LASH at NYCC 2010...!!!

My buddy LASH was in full effect at NYCC 2010 with his North American debut of his giant Ollie. It's truly a beast of beauty. It's huge at almost 13.5" tall and at a $150 price point, you cannot beat it. Best deal of the show hands down. LASH had four different colorways on hand. I picked up the GID/Gold version with the pearl wrecking ball.









Plenty of Sludge Demons to be had as well.






Congratulations to Rich and Jackie on their engagement...!

Toy Tokyo New Retail Store Tour

Thanks to Lev, Lorne and the Toy Tokyo crew for hosting a great party for the NYCC 2010 crowd. We even got an after hours tour of the new Toy Tokyo retail store. Video tour and interview with Lorne coming soon. All I have to say about it now is that Toy Tokyo is the real deal. This is a serious fucking toy store and there is no doubt about that once you walk in. Must see for anyone on the eastern seaboard.
