Yamomark Cyborg Fish!



 Yamomark Cyborg Fish is a small, glow in the dark fish monster with a drill bit for a butt. He has one point of articulation at the waist and an overall angry disposition.



With ginormous eyes to see in the benthic depths and rows of razor sharp teeth, this is one serious dude that I would not want to mess with!

Secret Demon Services Smalmack!



Smalmack!
by Secret Demon Services



Smalmack is a mischievous demon monster with a gaping mouth full of razor sharp teeth where it's belly should be and massive droopy boobies. He has 9 points of articulation and is covered in various sores, zits, and other uncomfortable looking boil like protrusions. The figure stands very well on its own and is fun to pose in various occult type positions.


Smalmack is a lot of dark, evil fun. I like to burn candles and draw a pentagram on the floor in chalk when I play with him while reading Rosemary's Baby.


Monster ass crack. And boils! 



My Smalmack is glow in the dark and he glows quite intensely! 

Lulubell Toys Grody Shogun Multum In Parvo!


Grody Shogun Multum In Parvo
by Lulubell Toys



 This crazy cosmic pug truly is "a lot in a little package" as the Latin name implies on the header card! Multum In Parvo is a labor of love from Amy and Luke at Lulubell Toys. $5 from each figure was donated to APARN (Arizona Pug Rescue & Rehabilitation Network). You can feel the time and effort that went into the sculpt and the amount of character in each little puppy face is simply outstanding! The heft and feel of this pug in hand is an awesome tactile sensation. A formidable combination of texture, detail and sturdiness, befitting such a noble breed!


  Each pug came with 2 bonus heads, shown here is the standard head and the "Ooze It" tribute head, which is simply outstanding!


 My favorite head is this four eyed, two nosed little mugwump! The vinyl is marbled with glitter and the face glows in the dark! It's truly amazing how Lulubell keeps managing to knock it out of the park like this! This is a hell of a lot of toy for the price and for a good cause as well. Multum In Parvo sets the bar for affordable, artisanal, quality rotocast vinyl! Once you pick this little guy up you just can't put him down. 



Also included was this "kiss my pug butt" key chain. Attitude!

Koningu!





Koningu!



By Ummikko!



This is one serious ape! The sculpt is cartoony and freaky and amazing! With the most impressive opposable thumbs on any rotocast figure I have ever seen, Koningu is a crazy jungle beast with awesome fur and massive pectoral muscles and lips! Even the big brute's monkey toes have a ton of character! By far one of my favorite toys of all time, hearkening back to the rubber gorillas of my youth, purchased with crumpled sweaty dollar bills at Woolworth's. The header card says it all! Stark! Frank! Brutal!


Rotofugi!



We went to Rotofugi in Chicago. It was my second trip to the store, and it hasn't changed much over the last three years. It has a nice little gallery and a good selection of kaiju, sofubi, designer vinyl and other odds and ends. There was also a very nice, clean public restroom (rare!) and the shop dog waddled over and was sweet and let me pet him! The store has a fresh clean vibe and I enjoyed the visit!

Jesse Narens Stegoforest!


Stegoforest, by Jesse Narens, is an awesome dinosaur/plant hybrid monster cast in flesh vinyl and painted with green, blue and orange sprays. The eyes are the best part! He has a somewhat startled expression that cracks me up. He comes with the battle damaged Acorn Warrior omake and is ready for some crazy Jurassic adventures. In hand, this toy is bumpy fun.



Stegoforest has 3 points of articulation, at the tail, neck, and left leg. His Stegosaurus spines are actually pine trees, which is awesome, and he has rocks and ferns growing off of various parts of his lumbering body.



The Acorn Warrior is a forlorn little fellow with some parts missing due to obvious altercations with other dinosaur types. He is a neat little sidekick and a great bonus figure, fun to carry around in your pocket on a walk through the woods!
