Horror Movie Vinyl Figures That Look Knitted: Killer Crafts

Created by vinyl figure producer Handmade By Robots, this series of collectible vinyl figures features horror movie villains in the style of knitted dolls. They’re not knitted though, they’re plastic, and I’m not sure I’d want any of them staring at me from a bedroom shelf at night, no matter how cute they are.

Available in Ghost Face, Pennywise, Hannibal Lecter, and Leatherface varieties, the $14 toys sit approximately 5″ tall and are just the thing to add a little horror to your everyday life. Me? My everyday life is already filled with enough horror. Just getting out of bed in the morning is enough to make me scream. Especially if the floor is cold, and the floor is always cold.

My grandma knit me a doll for a birthday when I was a child, and, if I’m being completely honest, it looks even scarier than any of these do, and it was supposed to be a friendly bear. It looks more like a zombie bear now. Time has not been kind to Honey. None of my dogs have been either.

Giant Ant Toys: There Goes The Picnic

Makers of the entirely unnecessary but absolutely wanted, Archie McPhee is selling these giant ant toys for $8. Available in a package of six, each hard vinyl insect measures 2-3/4″ long from antennae to ant butt and is sure to get a rise out of my wife when she finds them in the pantry. I think it goes without saying, but breakfast in bed will probably be out of the question that morning.

The six-pack includes two each of black, brown, and red ants. I remember getting stung by a bunch of red ants before. Not my fondest memory. My fifth birthday either. I asked for a Nintendo Game Boy, but do you know what I got? Poison ivy.

Be sure to bring some along on your next picnic! Maybe they’ll scare the real ants away. Or maybe they’ll mate and give rise to a new race of giant killer ants. If that happens though I will tell everyone it was all your fault.

Meowlting Catpuccino Figure: For Cat, Coffee, and Ice Cream Lovers

Over the years, the world of collectible figures has gotten more and more creative, playing with proportion, envisioning characters in cartoony forms, increasing their levels of detail and movement, and much more. And sometimes figures are just plain wackadoo, and I love them for that reason.

What you’re looking at here is I Love Doodle’s Meowlting Catpuccino figure from Sideshow and designer toy company Mighty Jaxx. The 6″ tall vinyl collectible features a big puffy cat who looks like the cream from a cappuccino, melting atop an ice cream cone. Why? Why the heck not, I say.

Only 200 of the figures are being made, hence the $99 price tag, but for lovers of kitties, cappuccinos or ice cream cones, it’s well worth it. You can pre-order yours now over at Sideshow, and it’s expected to ship by this September.

Spongebob Squarepants Rainbow POP! has Imagination

When my kids were little, I watched way more Spongebob Squarepants than I wanted to. Fortunately, I ended up rather liking the show. A new Funko POP! vinyl figure has been unveiled, and this one is our pal Spongebob with his “Imagination” rainbow flowing between his hands.

The collectible will land in June 2019 at Entertainment Earth. You can preorder it now for $10.99, but if you do, the annoying Spongebob laugh will be stuck in your head all day. The action figure is 3.75-inches tall and comes in a window box.

Spongebob will look great alongside your newly-acquired Freddie Mercury and Return of the Jedi POP! toys. Now, I wish Funko would make an action figure for the greatest of all Spongebob episodes, the one with the iron butt.

Star Wars Return of the Jedi POP! Vinyl Figures Know You Love Them

Fans of the original Star Wars trilogy know the new films can’t stand up to the originals. There are plenty of Star Wars toys out there, but if you have a penchant for Return of the Jedi and Funko POP! collectibles, get excited.

There are now Funko collectibles of Wicket W Warrick, Leia dressed as she was in the Ewok village, Han Solo, Emperor Palpatine, and Lando Calrissian. The Electrocuted Darth Vader is definitely the coolest with his blue face. You need him and the Emperor for your collection.

The collection will ship starting this February, and can be pre-ordered at Entertainment Earth.

Stranger Things 2018 Funko Collection Turns Wallets Upside Down

I’m not at all happy that it has been nearly a year since I’ve been able to watch some new Stranger Things episodes. If you are trying to hold out until the new season debuts in 2019, perhaps playing with some geeky toys will help tide you over. Funko has a full line of Stranger Things stuff for you to act out episodes with.

The extensive line of collectibles includes Pop! vinyl figures, complete with Eleven in a dress and long hair. You can get a plush of that shadow monster walker thing, or dioramas of key scenes in the series. One shows Eleven killing the flower-face monster in season one, and another is Steve fighting off-the dog like things with the spiked bat.

With Christmas coming, you can get a range of ornaments for your tree including “Dustin with his trusty backpack, Mike and his walkie-talkie, Will carrying a backpack filled with supplies, Lucas with his binoculars and army fatigue headband, Eleven in her power stance with bloody nose, Steve armed with a vicious-looking bat, Hopper with his donut and coffee, and the Demogorgon in all his terrifying glory”. Order them up at Entertainment Earth.

Cuphead x Funko Vinyl Figures Won’t Torment You Like the Game

The long-awaited, hand drawn side-scroller Cuphead was recently released to rave reviews. The game sure looks amazing with its 1920’s cartoon style, but it’s also incredibly difficult. It’s a rewarding experience nonetheless, and any fan of the game will want these vinyl figures based on some of the game’s characters.

Funko’s first batch of figures features the iconic art style of the game, and includes 3″ figures of Cuphead himself and Mugman, while The Devil stands 6″ tall.

That Devil is so awesome looking – I need him in my collection NOW. The Cuphead and Mugman figures are $10.99 (USD) each, while The Devil is $14.99. All three are available for pre-order now over at Entertainment Earth, and are expected to ship this December.

Looney Tunes Characters Get Gutted by Jason Freeny

Artist Jason Freeny is best known for his illustrations and sculptures which feature bisected pop culture figures with their skin removed from one side so you can see their innards. His latest creation? A series of vinyl figures based on Looney Tunes’ characters.

Now you can look inside of Daffy Duck, the Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian, Tweety Bird, and Bugs Bunny, all of whom seem to have surprisingly human anatomies – other than that 4-finger thing. Oh, and that giant noggin on Tweety. He must have an enormous brain.

The 4-inch-tall vinyl figures are part of MightyJaxx’s awesome XXRAY collection. Bugs and Tweety are already available in limited quantities, while Daffy, Taz, and Marvin will be available this Fall.

Winnie the Pooh Funko POP! Figures Will Eat Your Honey

Back in the ’80s I would wake up early each Saturday to watch cartoons. I can remember the very first cartoon that came on each morning was Winnie the Pooh. I didn’t like it, but my brother was really into the Pooh, though so i’d sing the song “Winnie the Poot” and then make farting noises just to mess with him. If you are into Winnie the Pooh, Disney, or Funko POP!, here’s a new set of vinyl figures you might want to collect.

You can get big-headed versions of Heffalump, Winnie, Eeyore, Piglet, Roo, and Wozzle. Tigger and Christopher Robbins are both missing as is that dickish Owl, though I bet those are coming at some point down the road.

I don’t even remember Woozle from the show, he looks sort of like a zombie Roo. Entertainment Earth has them on pre-order for $10.99(USD) each with shipping starting in February 2017.

Funko POP! NHL Players Will Knock Out Your Other Figures’ Teeth

I don’t know much about hockey. I only recently moved to a cold weather state where hockey is a big deal. In my former home of Texas, it isn’t. Pretty much all I’ve seen of the game are highlights, and I assume that the sport is about fistfights more than anything. I see it as sort of like a poor man’s UFC fight on ice skates. But if you’re a fan of the game, you might want to buy your favorite NHL hockey player in Funko Pop form.

These little characters have the players in what I assume to be home and away uniforms complete with tiny little sticks and pucks. The goalies are wearing their pads but have no helmets on their heads, which means you can see their faces – at least right up until they take a miniature puck in the face.

The figures will be available this November.
