Futura x Casio G-Shock Be@rbrick
It kind of doesn’t get much better than this: You’ve got the legendary FUTURA partnering with MEDICOM to make a BE@RBRICK packaged with a CASIO G-SHOCK. G-shock collectors (a fanbase as rabid as toy collectors) might say that the watch (a DW-6900) is packaged with the toy vs. what I just said, but this is [...]

Thursday, September 25, 2008
Another cool Be@rbrick from Medicom Toy Co. that they won’t ship abroad! This 1000% Be@rbrick Roen is based on the imagery of Japanese streetwear brand Roen, by Hiromu Takahara. You can have a look at some of Roen’s warez on Diabro where you will find $400 jeans and a whole bunch of cool, albeit [...]

Monday, September 8, 2008
There are certain things you can assume about the female gender. They like puppies. They can’t say no to chocolate. And they love Hello Kitty. I can say this ‘cos I’m a girl. If a boy wrote that I’d say “oh you sexist pig…”, but hey, girls just love all things Sanrio. It’s just in [...]

Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Yesterday at the Wonder Festival in Japan, Medicom Toys released three hundred of the limited edition 400% Dark Knight Why So Serious Joker Be@rbrick. The rest of the eight hundred produced (that’s five hundred for those of you not good at math) will be available soon for online orders. Already these bad boys are up [...]

Tuesday, July 29, 2008
I skipped Saturday’s LOST panel because of the ridiculous line but my boyfriend made it inside. He sent me a text 40 minutes after it started: “Matthew Fox just came to the panel!” Bitter doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt. I’m happy that he was able to get a good picture. Ever since [...]
Continue reading...My Childhood Rendered In Kubricks
Friday, June 27, 2008
Thanks to spies good folks like “naughtyguy9394″ on Hong Kong forums like Uwants, we can all have a look at the Medicom Toy Exhibition 2008. While there were many Kubricks and Be@rbricks to ogle, as a child of the ’80s, I was naturally drawn to the retrobricks: Ghostbusters and Care Bears. Now Ghostbusters and [...]

Monday, June 23, 2008
I love the name Molly. I think that comes just for my soft spot for old John Hughes films like Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink and the Breakfast Club and muse Molly Ringwald. Okay, this Be@rbrick has nothing to do with that red headed starlet but has to do with another Molly, the famous blue [...]
Continue reading...Big (Convention) In Japan
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Japan, not content with just being one of my favorite places in the world, is gearing up to combine one of my other favorite things: Star Wars. July 19th begins the Star Wars convention at Makuhari-Messe Convention Center in Chiba. The whole shebang is sponsored by Toys R Us, and will feature [...]

Friday, June 6, 2008
In more SDCC exclusive news, Medicom is adding a new VCD (that’s Vinyl Collectible Dolls, to laymen) to their list of releases in July. This time it’s a cool Star Wars alternate called the Shadow Guard. This guy was originally featured in the game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Apparently they’re super [...]

Thursday, June 5, 2008
Another anniversary. Another cool Be@rbrick. Like the Gallery 1950 polkadot B@arbrick, this B@arbrick sports some great gear. In honor of Silas’ 10th anniversary, Medicom has created a Be@rbrick faithful to the signature streetwear line. The 400% Be@rbrick wears an iconic t-shirt designed by James Jarvis and flocked jeans by Silas. The figure drops this [...]

Tuesday, June 3, 2008
So Spawn is moving, and he’s not even buying you the mandatory pizza and a six pack of beer. What he is doing for you though, is knocking off prices on EVERYTHING available on spawn.com. It seems McFarlane Toys are consolidating their inventory in Sacramento and Westgate, Arizona, and want to sell as [...]

Tuesday, May 20, 2008
KISS was always an unfunny joke to me. I couldn’t take them seriously enough to enjoy them, and they weren’t ironic enough for me to get behind that either. GWAR, Marilyn Manson, and Alice Cooper did it way better than those other clowns. But even though I was never a fan of [...]

Monday, May 19, 2008
Medicom Toy Co has granted a small number of the Limited Edition Peanuts Vinyl Collectible Doll (VCD) line for U.S. distribution and Sideshow’s got them (well, for pre-order). The Astronaut Snoopy VCD stands approximately 5.3″ tall while The Pig Pen VCD spreads the filth at approximately 8″ tall. I’ve been to the Schulz Museum in [...]

Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Medicom has come out with the ultimate in Star Wars geek merch. The Blue Stars trooper comes out this month as a Kubrick. If you responded with silent shock or tears of joy, then you already know what this means. To everyone else, the Blue Stars Trooper was an odd Turkish bootleg based [...]

Thursday, May 1, 2008
I know it seems that I’m just stroking off the guys over at Sideshow toys and Medicom, but they’re seriously coming out with some cool stuff lately. The latest addition from both is the hyper stylized Alien Vinyl Collectible Dolls. You may have seen the C-3PO from the Star Wars VCD line from [...]

Wednesday, April 30, 2008
The Kubrick crew at MediCom continue to cue up some pretty sweet stylings for their Be@rbricks. This time, to honor the 30th anniversary of the King’s death (yeah, he died in August 1977, and these are coming to us in Spring of 2008, not totally adding up but whatever…) they’ve given the the Be@rbrick [...]
