Hot Toys makes some of the most hyper-realistic “toys” out there, to the point that they make the nerd in me want to hide under my comforter, make a pillow fort and get in an all-out WWIII-style deathmatch with my vintage Robotech figures (I totally give the edge to Rick Hunter). The latest addition to […]

It is a thing of rare beauty when the giant robot playing nerd of my youth is able to sit down and break bread with the Japan-thread obsessed nerd of of my current life, but such is the case today.

If you have an infant, or even seen one in close proximity, then you can imagine where the inspiration struck for Ron English’s famous Tantrum Tot character.

The masked Parisian megaproducers love their Medicom Toys, and Medicom Toys love them (as you can see with their highly detailed Action Figures and Daft Punk TRON Toys). After releasing 100% and […]

Dutch artist Parra has collaborated with Kidrobot to bring his 2-D painting to the next dimension for a limited edition of 300 pieces titled “Pierced”.
