Super7 will be celebrating their 12th anniversary with some pretty special Lucky Bags this weekend. The bags cost $300 but come with nine awesome Super7 toys. Each contains new sculpts, test shots, one-off hand painted colorways, and even some mysteries. You can pick one up at Super7’s storefront on Saturday or on their online store on Sunday.

Erick Scarecrow’s done a 180 with this design. His resin toys are usually cute or cartoony. But this one says “fuck that,” rips out your eyeball, and draws a pentagram on its forehead with it. The 8” figure and accessories are limited to 10 sets worldwide for $150. Order one from the resin underworld right here.

Erick Scarecrow and Esc-Toy are starting of May with a splash. Mermadi 2 Villainous is a brand new sculpt with an awesome aquatic color scheme. The watery look of the seafoam green resin is pretty amazing. The handpainted toy is $100 and comes with a water-splash accessory. 10% of the proceeds go to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which is pretty awesome.
There’s also a new Mini Soopa Jr., this time in grape resin. This is probably my favorite colorway so far. There needs to be a transparent purple candy cab in real life. The grape colorway is available for just $20.
Last up is a super limited signed-and-numbered Papa Sama Swordsman gicleé print. It’s printed on a 6-color printer and runs $45. 10% of this ones goes to St. Jude’s as well.
Pick up any of the above toys and print right here.

This insane dichotomy is the latest work from Carson Catlin. Get it? “Dichotomoy?” Cuz the word comes from “incision.” *Ahem*
Anyway, this is definitely one of Carson’s funkiest customs. The half-reticulated 7-incher is definitely eye-catching. It was given away recently, but Carson says he may do more half-reticulations in the future.

Holy custom vinyl, Batman! Rotobox’s newest work is based on the design from the Dark Knight trilogy. The armor is sleek, especially the bat ears, and that metallic dark grey paint job is ridiculously sexy. You can pick up one of the three editions of the toy right here.

D-Arts has some of the coolest toys ever created, and this one really showcases that to the fullest extent. Capcom revealed that this Mega Man X figure, equipped with ultimate armor, will come with swappable hands/mega buster, terrific articulation D-Arts is known for creating, and full fucking detail. Unfortunately, the company did not reveal how much this is going to cost and if it’s going to be sold outside of Japan.
Ron English’s toys from the Cereal Killers series always make me laugh. Count Calorie joins his nutritionally deficient friends, Cap’n Cornstach and Fat Tony, in August. He’s 8 inches tall and turns your milk brown in seconds flat. Pre-order one at myplaticheart.

They’ve turned Hello Kitty into a lot of things - a KISS member and a Street Fighter character, just to name a few recent ones. But I’ve never seen her turned into a food item. The bento series contains a bunch of food items such as onigiri, peppers, and octopi with Hello Kitty’s face on them. This is just bizarre. And awesome. My favorite is the plush chicken wing above.

We’ve all seen clever action figure photography floating around the internet at some point, but this series, titled 1:1 Toys, by Daniel Picard is some top tier God Mode level craziness.

Erick Scarecrow’s newest project is so metal. Well, it’s resin, but you know what I mean. Erick’s version of Little Red Riding Hood serves up the Big Bad Wolf’s head, complete with killer blood splatter. The metallic sprays on the wolf’s head are especially nice. This set of two handpainted resin figures also comes with two weapons: the Sweet Steel Axe and the Blue Truth Teller Axe.
Limited to 15 pieces, the set drops on Saturday at 11AM Eastern right here.
Revoltech’s 25h Anniversary figure featuring Naked Snake aka Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker is all sorts of banana biscuits. Sadly, it’s pretty much sold out everywhere, so you’ll have to pay stupid rude eBay prices if you want one.
