Forces of Dorkness Bong Trooper drops this Sunday July 6th at 9PM EST

The second decorative waterpipe-style sculpture from Forces of Dorkness is the Bong Trooper a.k.a. TK-420. Each Bong Trooper piece is a solid resin hand painted graven image topped with a fully modern polycarbonate tube. The piece stands 7” tall and 3” wide. Each piece is hand made and will cost $40 plus shipping.

Please note, this unit is not functional as an actual waterpipe. Not because FOD can’t make one this small, but because using one this small is a stupid idea. More than likely you’ll just end up with a mouthful of water every time…with that said, it is watertight and can be used for things such as a bud vase, the world’s smallest column aquarium, a XXL shotglass, a spittoon, a jelly bean holder... the options just go on and on and on.

Bong Trooper will drop at 9PM EST on July 6th on the Tenacious Toys Super Series Sundays page. July 7th will mark the last day of sale of the earlier Jesus H. Waterpipe piece.

New Resin SP1200 Inspired Figure by Patrick Wong

Illustrator Patrick Wong has just released a 3" limited edition resin toy entitled "SP1200" (after the legendary sampling drum machine of the same name) targeting beat producers, toy collectors, and connoisseurs of classic hip hop culture.

The SP1200 resin toy is the second release in the "Beats" series. The series sets out to create a genealogy of samplers from the late 80s to 2000s such as the MPC60 and Maschine, marking an evolution of both in technology and music. The Emu SP1200 sampling drum machine ushered in a new era of music composition in 1987 by allowing artists to sample parts of breakbeats and appropriating them to create "new" productions.

Like the MPC60 (previously announced), the SP1200 was known for it's distinctive lo-fi 12-bit aesthetic and made popular by producers such as Pete Rock and Lord Finesse. 

The SP1200 resin toy begins shipping Friday July 14, 2014 and is available for $40 plus shipping in Patrick's store. Comes with a numbered card, accessory toy break record (The Honeydrippers "Impeach the President" 45), and is limited to 50 pieces.

Kaiju Kaos: Smackdown Stat Cards Set 01 by Bryan "Stratos" Borgman

Bryan K Borgman, aka Stratos, recently added to the Kaiju Kaos world with the release of Kaiju Kaos: Smackdown Stat Cards, Set 01. What exactly is Kaiju Kaos?
Here is the description from Wargame Vault:

Kaiju Kaos is a tabletop miniatures game where two or more players pit their hand-painted metal and resin armies against one another. Kaiju Kaos is a strategic skirmish game. It’s not just a matter of lining up models on the table and the person who goes first is the winner. Kaiju Kaos requires cunning and adaptability because at any time an opponent can drastically alter the current situation with an unexpected action or a lucky roll of the dice. A solid strategy and good implementation combined with a little luck will enable the weakest troopers to bring down the mightiest monster. There are various unnamed troopers and specialists to build armies with, but the true heart of Kaiju Kaos is in the characters – whether they’re human, Kaijin, or colossal Kaiju bent on destroying everything in their path.

So, Kaiju Kaos is a strategy tabletop miniatures game, that uses a combination of miniatures, stat sheets and of course the rule book. Kaiju Kaos: Smackdown is a death match variation of Kaiju Kaos and this recent release for Kaiju Kaos, is a set of Stat Cards to be used with the game. The stat cards can be purchased as a PDF Download for $0.99 or can be printed on demand for $4.95 + shipping through both Drive Thru Cards and Wargame Vault.The deck includes 20 stat cards for 18 different characters, 2 characters of which have 2 different cards included to account for alternate forms. Tabletop games like this, offer great playability while also allowing people to take a technology break. Often, the miniatures are raw and can be painted, which adds to the fun for many. For those who are unfamiliar with, he/she may recognize some of his/her favorite artist's characters in the Kaiju Kaos: Smackdown rulebook and possibly in the rulebooks of the other variations of Kaiju Kaos.

So, grab a partner and go purchase the Kaiju Kaos: Smackdown rule book, get a set of Stat cards and pick up one or more of the playable miniatures.
