Erick from Esctoy has dropped a sneak peak of the new toy from the Old Skool Kaiju project. Its looking sweet and I am really loving the originality that is coming out of Esctoy.

Dr. Bao and Spive aka NVC Crew are creating their own 6″ figure, Ishikawa: The Roller Warrior!, which is some kind of urbanised samuri. Got to love the idea and the awesome design. Read the interview with NVC crew at toysrevil.

These outrageous yet superb Lincoln Kubriks are from a Japanese TV program that is created by the Geinin, Of the Geinin, for the Geinin… Geinin meaning people who are famous because they are on TV. I sound like have deep knowledge of Japanese but I just got the info and images from Toybot Studios.

PlayRoll is a cool new DIY paper toy from The Netherlands that comes in a rather interesting set. You get your paper toy ready to be cut and created, a scissors (very handy..), glue and a toilet roll. Have to say I love the concept for the PlayRoll series 1 and adore the whole packaging they come in as its great to see something new.

The story behind PlayRoll:

Humans live on earth like pigs in a borehouse. Valuable resources are depleted and transformed into nuclear waste, CO2 emissions, chemical pollution and mere trash. The ending of our planet will come to pass. Emerged from human filth, resistant to all pollution TOXI, CO&O, NUKE & T-RASH are our only salvation. Playroll; mutant superheroes, demigods of the new disorder, rule the faith of life on earth. Will they turn the tide? Will they save mankind by their own sacrifice?

Be sure to also check out the awesome wooden version and the free crash test bunny paper toy.

StrangeCo have officially released info about the new 1″ Cactus Pups designed by Tokidoki and the green Slither by Touma. Both awesome looking toys with a cartoon feel to the designs… but it really is a case of utter cuteness against pure evil.

Tokidoki continues his line of cute creations with the new Cactus Friends, Carina and Bruttino, a new series of mini cactus friend dogs and plush versions of the Adios and Ciao Ciao toys. Anyone following the cactus friends series will be happy to see that new colours have been added to the range… I have to say I love the blue bruttino colourway.

Considering the Carina and Bruttino are only 2″ tall the mini cactus dogs are going to be some of the smallest designer toys around.

Adios and Ciao Ciao have thankfully made a good transition to Plush Toys but I am not to sure they are worth buying over the vinyl versions.

As you may have realised by now there is now chance that the Star Wars franchise will ever die to instead of moaning about it here are 10 things that will help you jump on the bandwagon.

Darth Vader figure by KAWS (Above). is being released this Saturday is quite possibly the greatest designer toys and Star Wars figure ever created. Evil has never looked so good.

R2-D2 Pepper Mills. They do exactly what you think they would do. Praise for a clever use of the R2-D2 shape.

Ecko Clothing * Star Wars. Ok I never thought I would see this and I would never wear it… but I cant help loving these hoodies.

Kubrick Star Wars Series 8 -The Phantom Menace. The kubrik and Star Wars collaboration might not appeal to everyone but this about as cute as Star Wars gets…

… or does it. Maybe these Star Wars slippers are the cutest things you have seen.

Lego Star Wars Motorized Walking AT-AT. Nothing new here then because LEGO and Star Wars were just made for each other but you really have to admire this for what it does.

Die hard fans will love waking up next to Darth Vader so this Darth Vader Projector Alarm Clock is perfect for the enthusiasts.

Live the Star Wars dream. No seriously you can have your room like above my hiring a Star Wars designer.

Wiimote Lightsaber.. that phrase is enough for me to get excited about.

Suckadelic Toys. Awesome spoof toys I have had my eyes on for a while.. and now they even have their own commercial.

To finish off how about something you should stay away from.. yes you guessed it FAKE star wars toys.. STAR TEAM.
