Just thought I would give all the vinyl toy and art lovers a heads up!
Toy2R has generously offered to give a massive prize package to two
lucky ToyCyte readers.
The bounty includes over $700 of Toy2R
merchandise!
I was labeled a Gwin fanboy recently. While I was slightly offended at first, I quickly realized it was true. Never considered myself a fanboy. I don't live in a basement, I don't haunt dark alleyways looking for comics, I bath regularly. Geek, nerd, loser maybe but never a fanboy. Oh well. Guess I'll have to move back in with my mom now.
Why was a called a Gwin fanboy? Because I've been geeking over the mini gwins that were released at San Diego Comic Con last month. Well I finally got some. 3 to be exact with a perfect little Z.O.M.B.I.E. (who hopefully will be the start or a giant Z.O.M.B.I.E. horde). They arrived on my doorstep Monday and I've been playing with them ever since. Each mini gwin came in a small bag containing an "I play with toys" sticker, a zombie magnet and was attached to an October Toys keychain. "Best promo idea ever!"
The Z.O.M.B.I.E. came carded and bagged, individually numbered 1-50. Mine is number 7. He even has a 7 on the bottom of his feet. He's great! The perfect zombie comic con attendee. He has glasses, backpack, Star Trek shirt, no fat chicks sticker, comic con badge, poster tube. You can almost hear him panting and wheezing as he hunts for free swag and fresh brains.
The blank black gwin didn't get much camera time, but the little ones are such camera hogs it was hard to squeeze him in. I'll make it up to him somehow.
A while back I came home and found a box on the porch. It was a nice box, but I left it sitting alone in the toyroom and it was quickly opened.
When I returned I found this was inside.
WOO-HOO! The custom Bully Munny I won from a raffle sandman held. Now I owe sand an apology. The raffle ended in May, I had Bully by June and here it is the end of July and I am just now commenting on it. Sorry sand!
The munny is great! Fantastic paintjob, the boombu character really works well on the munny body, and I couldn't be happier to have him. The customized box is a great touch! Sand documented the entire process of making this munny on his vox and if you have the time it's an excellent read.
I even managed to snap off a picture of Bully in his new home. He looks pretty happy there. Hopefully he won't rough up the other toys too much.
Guess if I had waited momentarily I could have included this.
Here is Tara McPherson's design for the 8" Hellboy Qee.
Not sure what I think about "hug life". A little sappy for me, but overall it looks really good.
Okay maybe not Liberty for all, how about Liberty for some? She's limited to 300 in the green color.
The 100 pick ones have come and gone. Now it's a waiting game to see how she appears next.
Who is she? She is Erick Scarecrow's first release in the Liquis Series. And Liberty is her name.
What to see her? Of course you do. Here she is:
She's fantastic! How's that for a review? See you next time...
Just kidding.
She is an amazing sculpt, well balanced with clean lines and and great details in the folds of her robe and her hair.
The paint job is perfect, no smudges or overspray, something should have been written in the book, but it's blank - that's my only complaint. She's great and reasonably priced. $60 and she's almost a foot tall. I could spend all day boring you with my love of Liberty, but I'll keep it short and simple, no need to over-extrapolate.
If you like her she's well worth picking up. If you don't like her, pick something else up instead.
She's been well received, selling (out) quickly, and Erick should be proud.
The Shiitake Parade is only 2 Days away! Hooray! Why am I excited? Because I actually have a piece in the show.
It's even on the sneak peek card above. Sure I'm nervous about how it will be received, it's my first custom show and I've already convinced myself I could (should) have done a better job.
I just realized how much of a slackass I've been posting. Over a month between post. INEXCUSABLE! Bad nos! Bad!
I'll try to do better. :) Can't do much worse I guess.

WOW! I can't wait to see Tara's version!
From Dreamland Toyworks:
My Little Cthulhu to Arrive in 2007
Production on My Little Cthulhu will start in December 2006 and the toys should arrive at the distributor by April of 2007. For wholesale inquiries please contact DKE Toys or look for a solicitation through Diamond Comics/Alliance Distribution.
My Little Cthulhu is an 8"vinyl figure and has a suggested retail price of $29.99. There will also be set of six Little Victims & Little Minions ™ that will retail for $14.99.
Oh, and stay tuned for details on an exclusive limited edition My Little Cthulhu.
Now we know the exclusive belongs to paizo.com and it's a red My Little Cthulhu
Guess I need to justify the need for another Cthulhu. No I don't, they're both great. Now make me a Glow in the Dark one and I can die happy. HA!
For all you Luke Chueh fans.
Whoo and Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!
I received some lovely packages over the last couple weeks. My last Gwin arrived, the "Gore" edition of Dok A's Gwin, straight from the man himself. He even tossed in a few badges!
The extra badges were a very nice touch too.
And here's an imperfect shot of the box, also splattered in Gwin "blood"
And then I receive my DIY Shiitake's from Eric Scarecrow! Now I just need an idea to submit for the Shiitake Parade.
I better hurry though, it's coming up soon. Maybe something with teeth - or maybe I've been staring at my Gwin too long. But as soon as I come up with an idea I'll be sure to post progress shots here.
It's not too late to get one for yourself: http://cgi.ebay.com/Erick-Scarecrows-Shiitake-D-I-Y-4inch-plush-clipon_W0QQitemZ230122691981QQihZ013QQcategoryZ230QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
And if you're like me you might want to buy a spare, just in case I mess up the first one.
