The OMFG! Kickstarter to fund a run of cool little artist-designed mini figures reached full funding in August 2011. This is old news. I backed it, I got my figures, I got exposed to a bunch of talented new artists as well as Kickstarter as a viable funding platform. Great stuff.
Many of the artists involved used the added recognition to help launch new products and designs based on their contributions to the OMFG! series. One such artist is Kyle Thye, whose "Phantom Shithouse" figure made it into the series. (Now, OK, we commonly call it the Phantom Outhouse to be nice-nice on teh internetz, but it will always be the Shithouse to me.) You can purchase the Outhouse t-shirt, designed by Kyle Thye, from Paste Apparel here. Sweet shirt for $25.

Argonaut Resins has released shots of Series 3 of their Pharaoh Hound resin figures. This series will drop on Wednesday, June 6th at noon EST in their online store. You MUST get on your computer at 11:50AM to even have a chance at getting one. Argonaut Resins releases ALWAYS sell out immediately. Fair warning.
Adding to the excitement this series are the matching regular (6.5-inch) Tuttz cats (pictured below) which will be released alongside Pharaoh Hound Series 3.
As if that weren't enough to melt your brain, Argonaut Resins will be throwing in a Golden Ticket into one of the Pharaoh Hound boxes which will get the lucky winner a FREE Argonaut Resins resin figure!
Below find the set which you get when you buy a Pharaoh Hound: resin figure, custom made and numbered box, and a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. Talk about a professionally-executed product... If you haven't yet jumped into resin collecting, this is a really good time to do it.

"Smokey's Pleasant Day" is one of Ian Ziobrowski's most recent customs completed for a group show. This one was for the Most Wanted: Behind the Hype show at 1AM Gallery in San Francisco.
Adding to the fine collection of NUGGLIFE I introduce "Smokey" the biggest hippy in town. This guy is always wondering around searching for the finest crop in town. Unfortunately his paranoia dominates his cool ninety percent of the time, thinking the whole world is watching him. SO pretty much..... he's useless.
Sick details on this piece, as always. Ian manages to tell an entire story in one custom toy. Amazing. I wonder if Smokey is friends with Nuggs? Seems like Nuggs' business-oriented mind, and busy daily schedule, might harsh Smokey's mellow...

The Queen of the instant sell outs has done it again! Lunabee teamed up with Pepe Hiller to make these cute little hand painted wooden bees. I have to say this collaboration is amazing! With Pepe Hiller's smooth wood skills and Lunabee's painting skills, combining both skills makes for a killer combination. Although these are SOLD OUT now, I am sure with enough requests both artists would definitely be up for another collaboration! For Lunabee's website please click HERE.

Big Wheels are still as popular today as they were back in the Ye Olden Times. But to find out why they have stood the test of time so far, Sara Dawkins from NannyPro wrote a very interesting article on the Top 10 Reasons of why. I will only reveal number 10 which is, "most parents these days had a Big Wheel trike when they were young and want their kids to have the same enjoyment. The nostalgia surrounding these toys has helped contribute to their continued popularity." To find out the rest of the Top 10, please click HERE!
(Benny's note: I rocked my Big Wheels so hard when I was little that wore out the front wheels on 2 of them. My Dad seems to be really proud of that... he still tell stories about that, 30 years later.)

When we got our cases of 7" Munnyworld figures from Kidrobot, the very first shipment we sent was a few Raffys going to Scott Kinnebrew. We both knew what he would do with them: DRAGON RAFFY! This one came out beautiful.
You can purchase your own Kinnebrew Dragon here. Brilliant work!

I love when I get to drop sneak peeks! Here's the upcoming 6-inch Cactus Rocker figure from tokidoki that will be released in July. His safety pins, clothing patches and guitar may make him look tough, but he needs his cactus suit for protection just as much as the rest of the Cactus Friends.
$24.95 each, in this cool amplifier packaging (below). These will be for sale in our tokidoki section.

San Diego Comic Con 2012 is coming and Furry Feline Creatives has just announced 2 exclusives for the show. Pictured above is the "Dragonmaster Ringo" which features a very cute cat with some extra deadly nunchucks. Now if I know for sure 1 thing, that would be to never trust a kitty with a pair of nunchucks and a smile. I love the color usage in "Dragonmaster Ringo" and think it will definitely be a hit to all!
The second exclusive to be released is "Puffridge Dragon." "Puffridge" is a cute little kitty dressed up in a dragon outfit. The face he is making seems to be a little frightened but maybe that is because he had just run into a real dragon. This is the first year Furry Feline Creatives has been in business and they have definitely done a great job for their releases for SDCC 2012!

These cute and devilishly stylish fiends will soon be yours to take home with you. Debuting at SDCC 2012, "The Nightmare Nursery of Gloomvania" features 5 of the cutest monsters around. Zombie, Abominable Snow Baby, Werewolf, Cyclops and a Vampire will be the first un-human babies to be featured from the collaboration between Vamplet, LLC and Comic Images. My favorite of all the babies is the Werewolf. I love the smirk of "I am up to no good" on his face.

We're really excited to continue our support of our favorite Goth (and minor local celebrity) Voltaire by stocking all 4 of his upcoming Toy2R Mini Qee releases: Deady Bunee (in both Color and Black/White colorways) and Sleezter Bunee (in both Color and Black/White colorways).
Deady Bunee and Sleezter Bunee are the next figures in Voltaire's popular collaboration with online role-playing game Adventure Quest.
Like the 8" Deady Bear Qee and the 5" Deady Big in Japan Mini Qee before them, all of these Bunee figures come with a game code for Adventure Quest. You can read more about that popular promotion here.
Deady and Sleezter Bunee Qees are just $28 each, no matter which colorway. You can preorder the Color versions on our site here, and as soon as we get word that they've arrived, we'll put up the Black/White versions for sale as well (FYI Black/White colorways are apparently short-packed in the cases, meaning a case of 12 Deadys will contain 8 Color figures and 4 Black/White figures).
