Huck Gee's Skullhead Dunny gets a black colorway
Huck Gee's Skullhead Dunny is getting another colorway from Kidrobot. This time, it's a black colorway, with a reverse-colored white suit. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same one you saw 3 years ago in sculpt and design.
The Back in Black Skullhead Dunny is on sale March 20 at 11 a.m. Eastern (3 p.m. GMT, 8 a.m. Pacific) at the usual places: Kidrobot's online shop, its retail stores, and other designer toy shops. It'll be priced at US$59.99.

Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Lubewig – Fun Sculpt
Gaming Heads debuts a new Doom diorama
Sure, Gaming Heads put their Doom license to use with some cuddly plushes ... but if that's not your thing, then you might love the new Knee Deep in the Dead diorama. Based on the original game's box cover art, the diorama featured a lone space marine blasting away at the minions of hell. It's cast in polystone (so it won't be cheap) and stands 12.5 inches tall by 17 inches wide. The bullet effects are also removable, should you not want your demons being ripped apart by gunfire.
Like Gaming Heads' other works, there's two versions of this diorama available: a regular, US$374.99 version (750 piece run), and the exclusive, US$399.99 version that comes with a LED-illuminated base (350 piece run). Both versions are planned for a third quarter 2014 release.

Hobby Japan's Sakura Miku is pretty in pink for pre-orders
Kahotan's preview today spotlights Good Smile Company's second collaboration with Hobby Japan for their Figure Japan magazine (the first being their 1/10 Ultimate Madoka). As we saw a few weeks back, it'll be a scale version of Sakura Miku, based on GSC's existing Miku figure but reduced to 1/10.
The downsizing doesn't appear to have hurt the quality though, as this is still a lovely looking figure. Kahotan notes the use of pearlescent paint to give her a real shimmer, and those massive twintails are still a standout feature of the sculpt. Happily, there'll be an easy way for overseas buyers to get her, as GSC have also put the magazine and figure bundle up on their online store. You'll pay 7,980 for the package, with deliveries due in October. Anyone tempted to splash a little pink into their life?

Daniel Yu's newest works ready to hop into the ring
Do you like wrestling and original articulated figures? If you do, then you might want to take a look at Daniel Yu's Bronco Buster and Gory Bomb. If you're a wrestling fan, you'll also recognize that the two characters borrow their names from those of wrestling maneuvers, so there's a bit of a theme here.
So what nefarious tricks do each grappler hold? Well, they both have multiple points of articulation, and Gory has that "foreign object" in his hand (via a swappable hand part) that he might use to cheat. Meanwhile, Bronco Buster's head comes off to reveal a not-so-friendly message underneath.
Both Gory Bomb and Bronco Buster are available in Daniel's shop for US$80 each.

9" Wood Jordon from Michael Lau
Spotted on the Michael Lau Facebook fanpage, is a scanned page (off east touch magazine - issue 980) featuring a 9" tall WOOD JORDON! A new vinyl piece with the finish replicating the texture of wood (like his earlier releases; KINDERGARDENER, ZEX, Woody Hardy), featuring a return to the afro hairdo, and a highly "cartoonier" facial appearance - which frankly I would not have ever associated with ML if not mentioned in advance.
They will be first made available at the GUMGUMGUM store in Hong Kong for the "KICK YOUR $$$" event (happening March 14-16th), which celebrates Jordon sneakers, as well as the release of a "Michael Jordan Last Shot exclusive" from ENTERBAY. 'Bundle' price has been mentioned to be HK$1699 in store, but I cannot authenticate that.
From Jordon23s to the red-shirted Chicago Bulls Jordon49 (pic via STStyle), Mr Lau sure likes his Jordons! I'm personally liking the all-Black version tho!
