Charity Folks recently hosted an auction to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation. Called "The Empire Muggs Back" various toy designers and Star Wars artists customized Hasbro's Mighty Muggs. We were lucky enough to win 2! Melissa Goodwin works on the Cartoon Network series Robot Chicken, and worked on the Star Wars Episode II show. Katie Cook is an official Star Wars artist at Lucasfilm. We won Melissa Goodwin's Han Solo in Carbonite and Katie Cook's Wampa

While I usually work on Star Wars related customs, I wanted to do something more outside-the-box. I combined a Revell P-40B Tiger Shark 1/48 model and a duck I found at a thrift store. Let me know what you think!

Quick post before heading out...got into town at 6pm Friday; no fun driving into the city! Hit the MoCCA Festival yesterday and met some designer vinyl icons of ours: Tara McPherson, Andrew Bell, Bwana Spoons, and Kaiju Big Battel. We're having a great time! And its not over yet! We don't check out until Tuesday. Here's some toy-related photos:

I get home and I just quit blogging, don't I? Finally, after pacing ourselves so it wasn't a last minute rush, LA and I finished all our write-ups from the Louisville market, coming in around 65 surveys. The deadline is tomorrow, so we rushed when the winter's last blizzard let up to FedEx the box, but DIA is shut down completely, so who knows when those surveys will leave and arrive in Schaumburg. It is such a relief to have those surveys done! Now I can move on to more important matters, like figuring out all the IRS stuff for our S-Corp. Wrapping up on Louisville, our last weekend in town, despite cold weather, was a good one. LA found a neat little area off Bardstown and we stumbled upon Lynn's Paradise Cafe , a wonderful little gem on a rainy Sunday afternoon with bright colors, fun wait-staff, a full bar, and the best breakfast since Memphis. Several of the menu items had been featured on a Food Network show, including LA's stuffed French Toast, to...

Wouldn't you know it, after months of waiting (we obtained the Golden Ticket while in KC), when we got home from our last outing, on our doorstep was waiting the Supakitch / Koralie Le Billet Cache Dunny! And it is all sorts of awesome. Its a great collaboration and the colors can't be beat! Its currently going for $300+ on ebay, but I just don't think we can part with it. We may sell EasyHey to make up for the cost difference, but anyway, here it is, next to the French Series Koralie:

So far, Louisville is a pretty great little city. And when compared to Memphis, wow! We took a few days last week to catch up on write ups (we finally finished on Sunday) and do a little exploring. We found a great little designer toy store, Ultra Pop , over on Bardstown. They carry a great selection of Kaiju, lots of which I've seen on sites like Super 7, but never in person. The owner was very helpful in tracking down a hard-to-find piece, even it meant we bought online and not from his store. Not to say we didn't buy from him....we got 2 UK series Dunnys, including the Triclops clear head with the umbrella, the green Ox 3" vinyl Ugly Doll, and Mini Pegura . I was initially unsold on it, but after seeing that Japanese GID, I was sold. Its like a lightbulb! We saw The Wrestler over the weekend and both really liked it. It was so gritty and raw, it felt more like a documentary instead of a movie. Rourke deserved his Golden Globe for sure. The Watchmen comes out th...

Recently purchased: 8" Shok1 War Head Dunny with 3 Blow Up Dolls, KillFish, Postal, and Newk: And here's a link to all my photos from the 7 Mary 3 concert last week.
