Huck Gee's Kidninja

As expected, I picked up two of the kidninja figures today - one white, one grey. I have to admit, they are pretty sweet! When (if) I ever part with them, it'll be tough to let them go.

Star Wars Mighty Muggs

I was at a Wal-Mart during my lunch hour today, picking up some stuff for the ACE convention this weekend. I strolled through the toy section to see if they had any of the Marvel Super Hero Squad figures I was missing when I noticed something new.

Star Wars Mighty Mugg by Hasbro. And they were vinyl! I know I don't get out enough, as I had no idea these were coming out. I snagged about ten boxes, thinking they may make good items to sell at ACE (or online). I have some Vaders, some Mauls, a Han Solo, A Chewie, a couple of Boba Fetts, and some Stormtroopers. Pretty cool figures! I like the shape too - I may pick up some to customize.

I went online after I got back to the office and did some research. Hasbro's releasing a Marvel series as well. Those are definitely on my list!

Got Ringo? Why Yes, Yes I Do

I got my Ringo figure from Wheaty Wheat Studios today. Pretty sweet. With a run of only 600, I'm hoping this might be the first piece I flip on e-Bay. The figure came with a t-shirt and some sticker too.

UPDATE: Orange Ringos are selling on e-Bay for $300 - twice what I paid for it.

Discovering Mimobots

I was at Urban Outfitters today during my lunch hour picking up a DIY Munny for a new custom project when I came across some Vimobots. Mimobot, a company that makes designer USB drives, has released a DIY series called Vimobot. Vimo's are the same basic shape as the designer drives, but come unfinished in plain white vinyl. I thought they mught be interesting to customize, so I picked up a couple. I'd love to get my hands on some of the Mimobot drives, too.

Tara McPherson's Bubble Yucky

I picked up the new Bubble Yucky 8" by Tara McPherson today. I met Tara at this year's ACE convention and was fortunate enough to pick up some of her comic artwork.

I'll admit the piece isn't exactly my style, but I am developing an appreciation for Tara's work, and I'm trying to get into the habit of picking up new releases when they come out.

Dunny Series 4

The new Dunny series came out. I scored a few pieces at the Toy Store; I think they only ordered 1 case, so once again, no complete set for me.


All in all, pretty cool. I like the Dupac figure the best, followed by the Kozik Clockwork Orange figure. And how much do I wish I had scored the Pearl variant figure instead.

Some New Acquisitions

Dragon-Con has come and gone. This year's con was great as always; I spent a ton of money, stayed out late, and generally had a ball.


A day before the Con, we hit up The Toy Store, where I made a few purchases:





The 8" Mist figure






A couple of Joe Ledbetter's Finders Keepers figures





Ferine, from the Life inVentsville series
