Kidrobot has been droppin’ bombs all over the place for the last week or so. First with the new Yo Gabba Gabba items, then the Pirate Store going up in NYC, than a brief note that they’re expanding into a new 2-store shop right now (eep!! Awesome!!), and now this – quite possibly my favorite bit yet.

Kidrobot has teamed with yet another SYN fav, [adult swim] for a new line of blind-box minis. The new line will feature characters from a wide selection of [as] originals, including Metalocalype, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law, The Venture Brothers, and more. This is quite simply awesome.

My hope? That this will just be the initial first-series run of an ongoing new toy series from two truly kick-neck brands.

You can find the complete list (thanks to VinylPulse) of what characters will be made after the jump. (more…)

Ohhhh Lawdie, two little slices of heaven have just been combined.
UNKL Brands toy & design has teamed up with Ipecac Recordings for an extremely limited run toy subscription for 2008.

Ipecac Records? Toy Subscription? Yes, that’s right. For $100, you can subscribe for all twelve Ipecac Custom UniPo from UNKL designs. It’s limited to only 500 pieces, which makes it even more of a deal, as limited run pieces like this don’t typically come that cheap. Icluded are designs for some of my favorite artists, including Dalek, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, and Tomahawk (!!!), as well as the illustrious Desert Sessions. Alongside each toy delivered to your doorstep fresh and squeaky-clean every month, you also get limited edition show posters to go hand-in-hand with each month’s release (again, !!!!).

A definite must for any toyhead/audiophile or combo of the two (like me) that may be in your xmas gift list…Mom, Dad, Sis - I’m lookin’ at you…Who wants to be my favorite this year?
