About That KAWS-Bootleg Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket x Passing Through Version
Swiped from FLABSLAB's Facebook is this sweet snap of KAWS bootlegs - both the Grey KAWS Companion: Passing Through, and a Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket, but in a similar stance as "Passing Thru"! Way to innovate products, "bootleggers"!
And while I'd not necessarily endorsing bootleggery of products (ironically conceptually bootlegged off somebody else's IP in the first place *snicker*) … some bootlegs are more interesting than others, I reckon … ;p
As for finding this, I have absolutely no idea where tho :p

Mark Nagata (Max Toy Co) Answers "How Was 2013?"
WHAT: I asked a select few folks how their 2013 was, and what should folks expect from them in 2014, and this is what they shared with TOYSREVIL…
TOYSREVIL-SAYS: Make no mistake, I personally heart Max Toy Co products, and having a chance to meet Mark himself at STGCC in 2012 was one of the highlights for me! As I go gather my-fanboy-self together, here is what mark had to share with us…
MARK NAGATA: Oh 2013 was a great year for Max Toys. I had some many events here and in Japan plus new toy releases that I lost track of what I actually did But, I have to say that because of the various Cat figures we make we've been able to expand our Fan base as well … the power of Kitties, you know!
MARK NAGATA: Well I keep saying I will be doing less and trying to take it easier but no such luck. My guy in Japan, Monster Boogie Yo Miyamoto, and I have many more new soft vinyl figures planned throughout 2014. Several shows for Japan in the works plus something with FOE Gallery in June. Also have some cool projects with up and coming artists … actually these types of projects excite me the most. I love introducing new talent to the scene.
NOTE: all Images in this post were provided by Mark, because he rocks! 'nuff said.
McFarlane's The Walking Dead series 3 comic figures is on
In a world where Andrea is still alive and a much better character than the TV version, where Rick has one hand, and Daryl doesn’t exist; this is the comic version of The Walking Dead. After two series of figures, McFarlane is coming out with series 3 from the comic world. There will be four figures included in this series: Rick, Andrea, Dwight, and Punk Rock Zombie.
Rick is designed after the cover art for issue #60. This figure will come with a bandaged stump on his right arm, hatchet, revolver, shotgun and rifle. Andrea is designed after the cover at for issue #62. She will come in her white tank top and jeans, and come with her scoped rifle, pistol, and knife.
Dwight is a new character, and one of Negan’s top lieutenants. Designed after the cover art for issue #119, this figure will have his bandaged and burned face, and come with a crossbow and hook to attach to his belt. The last figure is of course a zombie, and this one is taken from issue #30.
The Punk Rock Zombie will have a mohawk and punk rock clothing like a spiked collar and combat boots. Also keeping with the punk rock theme, this figure will come with a guitar. So far we only have the concept art for these figures, but I hope the actual figures look as great as these do. Coming out in June, each figure will be US14.99 or US$54.99 for all four of them.
