The World Of Toys On TOYSREVIL (Jan/30/2011)
Teased here earlier, Erick Scarecrow and ESC Toy now reveals the figure to be a set of three, as part of the Suketchi Mama Blue Figure Set (shown here) made available at the ESC Store since January 28th. The Blue color way is limited to only 30pcs, with the 3-fig set prices at US$175 - featuring a 6" Suketchi Mama, 3" Paint Shroom, and a 4" Paddopa sketch pad.
STORY: Suketchi Mama travels the world sharing her skills as an artist. She is full of many ideas and with her pencil hands, she expresses herself artistically. Her traveling companions are Paddopa, a special pad that can translate her sketches into real objects and Paint Shroom. A Shiitake mushroom that loves to add colors to anything he finds dull.
MIB in the form of 4" tall dapper-out zombie "Formaldehyde Face" made and painted by Motorbot - currently available at http://deadbear.bigcartel.com for US$25 each, in both Grey and Green faces. With one point of articulation, these guys will sit pretty on the display shelf and eat your face at night when you slumber, just you wait! Muahahahahaha!
As of this post, ThreeA Toys has suddenly relished their NOM NW HEAVY BRAMBLE for online sales at http://www.bambalandstore.com - with a SRP of US$280 (sans 3AA-discount) and comes with a knife, and ys, you only have the image of the logos above for reference.

"When DARK arrives, Fahrenheit becomes a concealer, waiting to terminate Celsius. With his black suit, an advantageous position is taken!!

Limited to 140 pcs in this colorway - Fahreheit Kurogane drops February 2011 (exact date undetermined … still liked the Blue lightning edition tho ;p).

With the previous posts [here + here] I had actually missed out on vinyl figure releases from Hong Kong's Michael Lau posted on the Facebook album(posted by Chan Ka Ming), featuring a Hellboy-inspired HELLBRIAN and a Simpson's MARGE influenced character. If you've seen it before, I'm interested to hear your opinions about both or either figures … if you've not, then open you mouth and cock your eyebrows along with me in bewilderment of their existence. (Actually liked Marge tho ;p)
DKE Toys solicits orders for Dan Goodsell's MEGA CLEM LEMON in a whopping 12 inches tall (x 7" wide) with a SRP of US$15.

Sophie is a Pink Lemonade Ice Pop. 8" tall and and Mr Toast's newest sweet friend.
I did not really expect it to happen (I'm foolishly naive that way ;p) but MIMOCO has launched their first ever blind box assortment - featuring 15 flashdrive designs by FriendsWithYou! Offered in 2GB capacity (SRP of US$14.95 per) the series was announced at Macworld 2011, and is now available to order online here.
The man with the kaiju-tip and headsup from Japan, Luke Rook of Lulubell Toy Bodega shares with is this exceptionally cool resin Mechanical Girl sneaks from Pico Pico studio! (I lke it that they retained her whitey-whites true the mecha-body) "She makes her debut at Billiken Shokai's new group show this week.There is no doubt that the man can sculpt but this little cutie really stands out. Not one hundred percent sure on final price but it's looking like 50,000 yen for painted, 25,000 for rub and 10,000 raw. If you are in Tokyo get to this show."
After our Wednesday Roundup-post, Tra-cy from Gagatree shares with us another brand new ROBOCARD MAIL with the "Gagatree: To-Fu Robo" - jointly designed by DEVILROBOTS and Gagatree (as well manufactured by Gagatree).

Foks around the world is starting to receive their JEA BOSS Bamba Boss vinyl figure from ThreeA Toys (so far the only vinyl toy they have produced), a particular item I had completely missed reporting about, while lying in hospital bed last year end. The JEA Boss is the 7th Bambalad to be released (below lineup sans the PuddingBoss - bu yes I am jealous still). This image is from pawner JulianJim and one of the clearest of the toy seen online so far. Check out more 3A-snaps on the Beijing native's Facebook (Pics via). Have you got yours yet?
FYI: This item is no longer on sale at Bambalandstore. But folks looking for secondary market sales should know the SRP for JEA Boss was … no wait, I have no info on that … "lying in hospital bed" remember? Hahahahaha
