How cool are these vinyl toys by Kaiju Taro based on Chickens!!! There are two versions, the Uno Dos Tres and the Utimo, with the Ultiimo being the highlight of the 2 for me. How often do you see a Chicken mutant dressed as a Mexican Wrestler. Both figures are coming out soon and are limited to 20 for the Uno Dos Tres and 30 for the Ultimo [via Toyboy Studios]

PhuEk! has a new custom and as usual has failed to disappoint, IMO. I love the amount of detail that goes into these customs and the metallic look of many of the designs. I especially like the weathering that has been added to the look giving it a “used” or war-beaten battle droid look. Once again, the level of imagination has amazed! Thanks PhuEk! For the new info and images!

This just released… after recently finding out that Jeff Tweedy of the Austin band Wilco was a serious fan of Unkl toys, the people there decided it was time to consider a band-based toy pack! To be first released in July 2007 at the San Diego Comic-Con. Check out the press release here: Wilco x Unipo Press Release

From the illustrator and producer of the Boondocks come Hoodiez a new set of vinyls due out in late April. These guys are really cool caricatures and I know any fan of Carl’s style will not want to miss out on any one of these. My favorite is Boogie with his ‘fridge body and disproportionate head. Each one is very unique making it a must to collect each one of the whole gang. The sizes range from an average 4″ to a whopping 8.5″ (Boogie).

Coming soon to a doorstep near you, Bully Boombu. Yes I finally did it, I’ve been able to hook up with an awesome sculptor (to remain anonymous for now) to create a sculpt of my Bully Boombu character and a mold. I will be casting resin copies for interested parties in the future. I’m very excited to do this! They’ll be hand painted and then distributed by myself. I am also considering the possibility of DIY versions, but that’s to be decided still. For now I have images of the very early stages of the sculpt and I should be posting the progress pics as they are made available to me..

I am hoping this is just the beginning for me. We shall see huh?

Okay I know you all want a version of Dookie and/or his sidekick, Chorocco Tofu.. but the question is, what version? Plush or Vinyl? Well, Dookie and Chorocco are asking the same question and they are asking YOU to give them your opinion! Check out their blog and chime in your opinion! I know I’d like both versions, but which first??
