Joe Ledbetter Chinese Zodiac mini figures

by
Joe Ledbetter just released images of his upcoming vinyl mini figure series, coming in 2011 from PlayImaginative: the Chinese Zodiac figures! 
12 figures, corresponding with the 12 different animals in the Chinese calendar. I'm assuming that these will be blind-boxed (don't hold me to that) and that they'll be about 3 or 3.5 inches high (don't hold me to that either). Joe says they'll be released 2011, and aside from that we have no other info. But these figures look like an INCREDIBLE follow-up to JLED's fun Finders Keepers series released a while back by Kidrobot. I think we've all been waiting for some more JLED mini figures, haven't we? 
Email us if you're interested in these; please write JLED ZODIAC in the subject line and tell us how many figures you want, or if you want a sealed case. (We might also do open-box sales once we have them in stock)
We sell first to those of you who contact us in advance.

Toy2R agnes b. 2010 Holiday Qee Bear Collection

by
I'm really digging several of these 2.5" Holiday Qees from Toy2R and the agnes b. company: my favorites are the silver one and the clear one in the middle, and that cool dusky tree silhouette qee on the right side in the image above. NICE work!

This year give hope and love from agnes b., as Toy2R collaborates once again with the fashion company to bring six new 2.5" Holiday themed Qees to life. After a successful 2009 series, agnes b. approached Toy2R once again to develop stylish and unique set of Qee collectibles for their overseas Asian markets.

Each 2.5" Qee includes keychain attachment and comes packaged in window boxes. The Qee collection is available exclusively through agnes b. locations in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, China and Macau.

Give the gift of Qee and spread love and hope, courtesy of agnes b. and Toy2R.
Happy Holidays

SNEAK PEEK: Elemental Badgers series by FOOX

by
Foox is finally revealing the prototype for his upcoming Elemental Badgers series, scheduled to be released in 2011.  This series of 6-inch tall vinyl figures will be limited to 500 pieces in 5 colorways. 

The Elemental Badgers offer the world a view into the nexus between Science, Nature, and Magic. 
Each Elemental Badger will be handpainted, named, and numbered by artist. The Elemental Badgers play upon the 5 elements of Nature (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Soul), the elements of the periodic table (noble gases, flammables, liquids, metals, etc) and the different branches of the military (Air Force, Rangers, Marines, SEALS, etc) - making each individual badger a work of unique meticulously crafted art.

In Japanese mythology, the badger was put in a sack and beaten to bring forth good luck. Each of these elemental totems carries with it a small ruin for exactly that purpose. So rather than beating the poor Elemental Badger for good luck, we transferred the luck to the ruin and on to you!


Details and specs: 6" tall, vinyl, handpainted (each unique) and named, 1 of 5 colorways, 500 toys total
Packaging: TBD
Release Date: TBD (estimated for first quarter 2011)
Retail Price: $250 per fully customized, handpainted badger. $1199 for complete set
