Have you ever tried to take a pacifier from a baby? Well, I wouldn’t recommend it. Infants like some hot sucking action. Plus it keeps them quiet and lets them be visions of cuteness rather than screaming machines. And speaking of babies, pacifiers and cuteness, let us introduce you to the BBZ Blind Box Series [...]

Wow! I’ve been watching the work of master customizer Bil BetsOvic for a while. Recently I got to see his custom All City Train at Derailed and witness Toy2R express interest in him doing a Qee after seeing his custom Cucumouse. But none of that excitement holds a candle to what I just saw [...]

I’m a day late on this news because I was all alone here for Memorial Day. By now everyone and his brother has covered this, but you’re going to hear it from me anyway. As blogged previously, I haven’t been that excited about many of the mini-figure series coming out. That’s not the case with [...]

I told myself, “Just 3 boxes.” I don’t really need to start another blind box collection, but I couldn’t help it. I just wanted 3 boxes of Peskimo’s BambooZoo. They’re all cute, so I had nothing to lose by collecting a few. I wanted Bamboobi, and I was glad I got that one. I picked [...]

June’s new releases from Kidrobot are more kid than robot. Specifically, there’s hardly anything “mad” or “barbarian” about Mad Barbarians Tokidoki-looking Shake a Tongue series, and Mist’s Debilz could have used some more fire, IMO. The discussion on the Octane3 forums isn’t particularly favorable, with this quip pretty much summing up my feelings: “i [...]

Now’s your chance to stock up on Critter Splitters for $1.95 courtesy of Frozen Empire. These 2-3″ figures from former Sub Pop director, Jesse Ledoux didn’t seem to gain the following of other blind box collections, despite their unique draw: Critter Splitters are the first fully interchangeable blind box toy from Kidrobot. The 15 different [...]

Everybody loves blindboxes. Actually, that’s only partially true. Blindboxes are thrilling when hand-selecting your first couple out of the case at Kidrobot, using a combination of telepathy and x-ray vision to hone in on the Chase figures. But when you start to triple-up on a toy with a 50/100 ratio, blindboxes lose some of their [...]

The BambooZoo Mini series is a blind box collection of 16 creatures with 2 mystery figures. They’ll be available on May 8th. From the intial [...]

I’ve been waiting for JamFactory’s Droplet vinyl toy since last year. Manufactured by Crazy Label, the Droplets are a blind box assortment available in five colorways. They’re also Gavin Strange’s (aka JamFactory) first vinyl toy. The Droplets are all cute, but I really want to get my hands on the black and fuschia one. On Friday [...]
