Kano BobbaDef for SDCC

Kano's Hi-Def figure was a big hit at his home-town NY Comic Con and now for SDCC he's created "BobbaDef" a tribute to the classic Star Wars character, featuring green/red colurs and some nice paint finishes to give it the proper battle-hardened look. As with the other pieces this is a collab with ToyQube and comes equipped with vinyl records in one hand and a M-65 jacket.

KR Early August releases - Kozik, MAD and Futrama

Kidrobot has revealed it's Early August releases and it's a nice mixture of new lines and old favourites in new forms. First up Frank Kozik has some Labbits in silver, bronze and day glo Polka dots - each limited to 850. The new "Rippers" caught my eye - enamel zipper pulls featuring a range of Kozik characters from the Mongers series and priced at just $3.

MAD's latest mini-series from KR - Boooya Ghosts - takes his trademark style and fuses them with some nice undead surly punks, freakishly evolved apes, and belligerent boogeymen. The series features 14, 2" figures, including two chases and is likely to be a big hit with existing MAD fans and new collectors. Definitely liking that firey one pictured below!


Last but definitely not least is the latest Kidrobot commerical crossover with Matt Groening, this time featuring my personal favourite show (yeah...I do think it's better than the Simpsons!!!) Futurama. Caputring the 31st Century in style, this mini series of 12 figures, including two chases, includes Fry, Zapp Brannigan, Nibbler and Dr Zoidberg.
