Several months back, Devils Head Productions had announced that their first Japanese soft vinyl toy - the Alavaka - would retire. Well, that day has come. DHP has announced a few releases that will hit their web-shop beginning tomorrow (July 20th 2019).
DRUNKEN SUNSET ALAVAKA
And so he retires, off into the sunset. The final painted run has an awesome summer vibe from head to toe. These Alavaka have been cast in opaque white Japanese vinyl and painted with shades of blue, green, red, brown, tan, black and metallic sprays. There is a single chase figure that has been cast in yellow vinyl and it will be sold at random. Comes with an assortment of vinyl stickers. Enjoy your rest my friend! Made in Japan. Not intended for children under 14 years old.

BARKS AND WRECK ADVENTURE PACKS
On October 10th 2018, the world tragically lost Scott Godon-Decoteau. There will never be another person who embraced the adventurous aspect of life more than he did. That spirit was "in your face" obvious with anything and everything he did with Barks and Wreck. These mixed parts toys make it possible for the full color pallet of his company to be present in each set. Buy a toy and GIVE in to fun and adventure. 100% of the proceeds from the sales will go directly to Scott's son. Comes with an assortment of stickers. Made in Japan. Not intended for children under 14 years old.

The Australia-based toy company Geek X has announced a pair of officially-licensed DC Comics Jack-in-the-Boxes. Measuring nearly 12 inches in height, the fully functioning Harley Quinn and The Joker Jack-in-the Box features a velvet-blend puppet in a tin box with embossed details.

Kids Logic has announced the Quarter-scale Gemini Saga Statue with Digital Speaker from Saint Seiya. Limited to a run of 300 pieces, the statue measures nearly 20 inches in height and features a wireless digital sound system. You can currently pre-order the piece, with anticipated shipping for December 2019. The Saga statue will run you $790.00 plus shipping (estimated at $320.00 for USA).
Saga is often described by other characters as someone with the kindness of an angel but with the darkness of a demon. This ambivalence ended up creating a split personality: a good Saga that was extremely loyal to Athena, and an evil one that keeps control of the body most of the time and killed the previous Pope to steal his place. His famous attacking techniques include Galaxian Explosion, Another Dimension, Demon Emperor Fist etc.

Artist Ryusuke Kitamura has released what might be the creepiest collectible I have laid my eyes upon. From Backcountry, the ORBY is handmade and sewn with a leather-covered resin face and limbs with a soft fur. You can pick one up via the above link - if you live in Japan - or check out the Backcountry etsy site. The etsy shop has a few Smaller ORBY plushies available for $48.00.
Artist Ryan Taft (Wolf Pits) has gone the Kickstarter route to produce his first collectible toys - Boomer and Doomer. The series reminds my of the BUD series produced by Jamungo back in the day. But Boomer and Doomer measure in at 6 inches in height. The figures will be available in three different colorways: White; Black; Kickstarter Edition Green.
You can grab one of these at the $35.00 funding level. The Kickstarter Edition colorways can be picked up at the $45.00 level.
This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Thursday, July 4th 2019 at 11:25PM ET.
As I say with all Kickstarter projects I post about. Remember...this is not a pre-order. There are many instances of crowd funded projects that have been funded never making good on their promised goods. So back all Kickstarters with caution.
