News- Jason Freeny Friendly Fire sculpture available for Pre-Order Now!

Ahoy! It is seemingly becoming a daily event (and no bad thing) that I can share with you the new release of a vinyl toy or figure and as we grow ever closer to the holiday (and convention) season I’m sure the releases will only continue to appear day by day. Today, more news from the good ship Freeny as perennial collaborators Mighty Jaxx announced they’ll be producing a polystone sculpture of his Friendly Fire original.

  
At 9″ tall Friendly Fire is a substantial piece and a fitting centrepiece for a collection. Limited to 200 pieces, it’s fairly exclusive too and while I can’t be 100% sure MJ make it seem as though Freeny himself paints each one. I don’t know if that’s the case, but being polystone means painting is a necessary process and it wouldn’t surprise me if each is in fact hand-painted, which is always a big-seller in my book.

  
I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems like subverting the whole Disney image, with Mickey taking the most flack, is fairly de rigeur right now- between Ron English, that whole Dismaland thing, historical South Park and this (at the very least) I’m getting a little bored of the whole “Disney are evil” thing. I get it, we’re supposed to hate the big, evil corporation, but I’m just a bit over it, time for something new if you ask me.

Anyway, that’s just my opinion, and in any case if you’re the sort of collector already kitted out with a few Mousemasks, Apocalypse Grin Dunnys and other general Popaganda the Friendly Fire will fit beautifully in your collection. Plus, at $100(£65) direct from source or £90 in th UK it’s not a bank-breaker. 

If you want to know more you can check out the Might Jaxx sight here. I’m sur I’ll be back tomorrow with more, plus I have some new articles up my hooked sleeve so as ever, hit like if this article floated your galleon and check back again soon for more. Yarrrr!

News- Abominable Snow Cone by Jason Limon x Martian Toys Available for Pre-Order!

Ahoy! I bring more new news in the form of a confirmed sighting of a truly mythical beastie. That’s right, The Abominable Snow Cone has been spotted! I know you didn’t believe in him, I mean a 20ft snow cone? No way, right? Wrong! Because the fine crew over at Martian Toys have shrunk the timorous treat down to a 7-1/4″ vinyl form for our delectation. Yum!

More Lego News- Doctor Who Ideas set coming December 1st!

Fresh from my last Lego news post I’m back with more! You may have seen the amazing submission via the Lego Ideas scheme for a Doctor Who Lego set made by user AndrewClark2, and you may well be aware it got approved for production but what I bet you don’t know is that it’s available visible right now on the Lego store!

News- Lego 2016 sets leaked including Batman v Superman!

After a brief hiatus I’m back with news coming in courtesy of the wonderful crew over at The Brick Fan– several members on Eurobricks report stock images of sets from the 2016 line up surfacing on the Lego servers! It’s likely they won’t stay up long so head on over to TBF to see the full line up!

You may be thinking, however, “aren’t you just copying and pasting/sharing news from elsewhere?” (a.k.a Buzzfeeding?) Well, the answer is “not quite”. I’m not here to report on what you can find elsewhere, I wish to draw your attention to, and speculate on, one set in particular… Batman v Superman!

IMAGE REMOVED

 If I had to guess, I’d speculate that this will just be one set in a range of movie tie-ins as, at first glance, it seems a bit small to be a standalone set (although Ant-Man only got one set and it wasn’t much bigger…). Sadly,the image is a bit on the small side too, but just look at that bat armour- so chunky! There’s so much else to like about this set as well, I mean check out Superman’s shredded suit, the bat-signal and that grappling gun straight out of Lego Batman! There’s a lot of Lego leaked in this recent discovery, but for me this has to be the stand out set, and considering the fact that there’s clearly an active and ongoing licensing agreement I’d be incredibly surprised if 2016 didn’t herald a full cohort of Batman v Superman Lego. Maybe even a Technics Batfleck-mobile (here’s hoping)!

As I’ve said, you can go here to read the full article and see all the upcoming sets (at least all those that’ve leaked) or check out Eurobricks to keep your finger on the pulse. I just had to share this particular set.

Update: all the images of Lego’s leaked 2016 sets have been removed from the original posts and, while I’ve been a little tardy in doing so, I feel I should follow suit. It’s obvious Lego don’t want them shared prematurely so now we’ve all had a glimpse it’s time to settle back in and do some good old fashioned waiting. If you didn’t get to see the images of the leaked sets, well, you’re in for a treat but I thought it better to be responsible and remove the image I posted now rather than wait for a cease and desist to fall into my inbox. Here’s looking forward to 2016!

New Melty coming this Friday?

Ahoy there! Seemingly perfectly timed after my last post I return today with some possibly great news coming in from Instagram where Buff Monster has been sharing some shots from inside his studio detailing a new Mister Melty sofubi! In black! 

  

This new colourway looks superb if a bit spooky, just in time for Halloween I suppose! Accompanied by the simple caption, “New friends this Friday.” there’s not much else to say, no word on pricing as yet, and it’s unlikely that they’ll be available for long as the last colourway went almost instantaneously. You can see his Instagram post here, but other than that there’s not much left to say. Looks like I’m going to be spending all Friday online though…. Yay!

Micro Anatomic is here!

Ahoy! Prior to me previous post about the release of Jason Freeny’s much coveted Micro Anatomic it is finally here! Yarr! I’ve already got mine preordered and you can too. You can buy direct from Mighty Jaxx (just click right there <) or UK buyers may prefer to get there’s from the fine crew over at Collect and Display, here: Micro Anatomic.

Since there’s three colour options you may be struggling to pick which you like best, personally I’ve ordered all three!

  
If you’re so inclined to buy direct Mighty Jaxx are offering a free pin badge for the first 50 orders as an added incentive (as if you needed one!)

  
Other than that all I can say is this: I you like them get one NOW; there’s a chance they’ll stick around, but there’s a bigger chance they’ll be gone before you know it! The time to buy it is always the time you see it so get in now to avoid disappointment! You can look forward to a review as soon as I receive mine. Hooray!

Good News! Micro Anatomic is nearly here!

Good News for fans of Lego, Mighty Jaxx, Jason Freeny, skeletons, great toys or all of the above! Mighty Jaxx announced yesterday that Freeny’s most requested piece, Micro Anatomic, will be available worldwide from the 19th of September. That’s just 48hrs to save up your doubloons!
