I Love My Funko Gene Simmons Hello Kitty!

12:05:00 PM
This bad boy is just so cute to pose with...

I purchased my Funko Hello Kitty/Kiss - Demon Vinyl Figure a few years back at New York Comic Con and I find myself always randomly posing with it. It's such a fun figure. I was instantly attracted to the Gene Simmons inspired Hello Kitty because of the bad ass rocker he is and I've always loved the tongue. KISS is a epic rock band as I'm sure many of you know. 



Do you have a current Funko Pop Vinyl Figure you're crushing on?

Have You Ever Lost Your Toys/Action Figures?

3:36:00 PM
Oh Sweet Memories...

We may go mad! Want to cry and die a little inside right? Need therapy... who knows.

Have you ever wondered WTF happened to all of your awesome childhood toys/action figures? I have... sometimes. I was having this conversation with my brother the other day... He's a pretty funny guy and also an action figure/awesome pop culture poster enthusiast. 

I remember I donated A LOT of plush animals once to charity. I regret it sometimes because of sentimental value and because I had a whole Toy Story sort of thing going on (long story) but plushed animals take up a shit load of space! I just couldn't deal anymore. Also theres the thought of them going to kids who need them which makes me feel like I did something good, so that's okay. I do however have a bunch of little action figures missing that I don't remember donating: Madonna and Dick Tracy, Princess Peach from Mario, Retro Barbie Figures, Topcat, and much more. I'm going to assume the parentals through them out or gave them away... 

Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever tried to hunt them down and get them back in your life? Have you ever flipped the fuck out when you realize you probably purchased them for 1-10 dollars and now they can be up to 60-300 dollars on eBay on at toy stores? WTFFFFFFF. Luckily some have remained at about the same price but A LOT of sky rocketed.

Here are some of my brothers that went missing:  

Roton MOTU Heman 1980's toy Original Vintage lot Vehicle 1984

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 1984 ROAD RIPPER VEHICLE W/ STRIP MOTU HE-MAN MATTEL

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vintage 1990 FUGITOID Figure TMNT


As for me... I couldn't find much of my stuff online but I remember...

Vintage Disney Applause Dick Tracy and Breathless Madonna PVC Figures

Retro Barbie Toys from Mc Donalds

Retro Looney Tunes Figures - Shell Gas - 1990

It's sad stuff I tell ya! I would loved to have some of the retro figures I remember owning nicely displayed on a book-shelf (sigh).

So here's what I have to say to the parents of small children right now...

Save some of their shit! You know, some cool toys or action figures you think will mean something someday... pay attention. They don't know any better... and one day they'll thank you. Perhaps pick your top 10 favorite toys or more if you have the space. No excuses!

Take Your Action Figure To Work Day!

9:46:00 PM
Tomorrow, or in some places today March 6, 2015 is Take Your Action Figure To Work Day!



Hell yeah! It's about time more people incorporate a bit of fun and entertainment into the work place. If you want to participate via social media you can check out the official 'Take Your Action Figure To Work Day' website HERE and learn all about how this magical day came to life. 

If you just want to see the rules and hashtags real quick, here they are straight from the site:  

'Do you have an action figure? Do you have a camera? Do you have a social media account? If the answer is yes, than you have all you need to participate! Take your action figure to work on the first Friday in March and post pictures of him/her/it with you, with your coworkers, with a client or with your boss (well, maybe not your boss). Get creative! Who doesn’t want to see Wolverine pulling double duty as a paper shredder? In 2014 some people even story boarded a day in the life of their action figure, for the time they woke up, to the end of the day. Even Cheetah and Wonder Woman put aside their differences at the end of the day to go camping together.'
You’re only limited by your own creativity. Post away! Be sure you include the Official #AFWDYYYY (example: #AFWD2015, #AFWD2016, etc…) so we can all see the amazing things you do to make this as nerdy as possible.'

There you have it kiddies. Now go to your office and let Batman do all of your office work for you! Perhaps Wolverine shall pour you a cup of coffee? Maybe a LEGO figure will go tell off your boss or something... those little guys are fiesty.

Funko Vinyl Vixens At Toy Fair 2015.

11:25:00 PM
How pretty are these ladies? 



Funko Toys has revealed more from it's Vinyl Vixen collection with Vinyl Sugar. We now have the frisky Catwoman and Poison Ivy. For anyone interested, The Harley Quinn Vinyl Vixen was available at Hot Topic (for $29.50) as a pre-exclusive but unfortunately it seems to be out of stock, womp, womp!


I'm always crushing on the ladies of DC Comics. I'm usually a sucker for Harley Quinn but my favorite out of these figures is Poison Ivy. Her eyes are seductive and I love the special touch the rose in her hand adds to the figure. I'm smitten with the pin-up flair these bad girls have. 




The Poison Ivy and Catwoman Vinyl Vixen Figures will be released in March. 

Which one of these gorgeous gals is your favorite?
