This would look awesome sitting on my desk, but I just don’t have the patience for that sort of shit.

Brian Colin did a series of 4″ x 3″ Lego Zombie paintings for the Art-B-Que festival in Avondale, Georgia which took place on June 13th. He’s selling the leftovers over at his store for only $40 a piece and I’m totally thinking about getting one.

The Big Daddy from Bioshock and Samus Aran from Metroid had hot, steamy, underwater, outer space sex and this is what popped out.
Toy modder extraordinaire Darth Leon has whipped up this amazingly-detailed version of the Big Sister from BioShock 2. Jeezus, Darth Leon! The game’s not even out yet and you’re already giving 2k Games a run for their marketing money! Good on ya’, sir.

This teeny-tiny NES by Arkov reminds me how much I miss playing with Legos. My love for gaming took priority somewhere along the line. Maybe someone should just make a Lego simulator for consoles…
It even opens up! Extra credit if someone makes a tiny NES cartridge to fit in there.

Aww. Lookit the cute little controller!

And of course, you can’t forget the A/V outputs.

Here some sexy little Street Fighter Mighty Muggs customized by Jerry Cortez. I especially like the pissed-off little Zangief.
Hadouken, bitches!

This week we give you guys a look at Vinyl Luv inside Vertigo Records in West Reading, PA. This is where we buy our toys and we figured it’d be nice to give you the inside look since a lot of people mainly get their toys online and have never really seen them carried in a shop.
We also review the 3″ Baby Mei Mei and Di Di from Crazy Label which we’ve already given a thorough written review here, but this is your chance to see our initial reactions.
Due to time constraints (we like to keep each episode under 10 minutes) we weren’t able to do a Sculpey tutorial this week, but it’s coming next week. We promise.

Oh yeah, and we’ve extended the Kathy Olivas Dolbee Contest until the end of May. All you have to do is comment on any episode of blindboxed tv and we’ll randomly pick a winner in the first episode that airs in June.
What if every little girl’s dream turned into our worst nightmare? Giddy up, motherfuckers.

Daily Customs is back! Ever since the site crashed and I had to start from scratch, I’ve been neglecting the Daily Customs feature. This is mainly due to that fact that all my toy news gets posted on my other site, blindboxed.com. I’ll try and keep up with this from Monday to Friday and mainly feature custom toys modeled after video game, comic book, and movie characters.
This Dr. Mario Virus Dunny set was created by Reactor88. He also did a badass set of Dig Dug Dunnys which can be found here.

Over on blindboxed.com we recently featured an interview with the artist Nikejerk about his custom Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Dunny series. Not only that, but he was kind enough to donate one random figure to a blindboxed.com reader. Check out the full story here for a chance to win one of these badass customs.
For this week’s episode of blindboxed tv we hit up Metropolis in Lancaster, PA for the Munny Mobile party sponsored by Kidrobot where we saw some awesome custom work by Esro, Kia, and our very own RSIN. We also spill our thoughts on the Kathie Olivas Dolbee that we’re giving away. Oh, and don’t mind the fact that the show ends abruptly… we totally forgot to fade out at the end, but we don’t think anyone will mind… will you?
Stay tuned for next week’s show as we review the DIY Pusher from Munky King and give some toy customizing tips!

This 9″ plush Bee Mushroom from Super Mario Galaxy can be yours for only $19.90. The more I look at it, the more I wanna re-play Galaxy all over again because, let’s face it, that game fucking ruled.

I still haven’t gotten my hands on Madworld, but I hear good things. This custom figure of the game’s main character Jack is pretty phenomenal. Check out more work from the artist here.
