Back into the art toys isle we go with our best buds at Super 7 (booth #4729) . When a company creates something like a Super Shogun Stormtrooper with firing fist of fury, you know you should be watching them closely. Though there are no Star Wars items on the table this year, they do have a whole slew of translucent, glow in the dark and sparkly characters up for grabs primed and ready to practically join your Finn and Jake Adventure Time action figures in the Land of Ooooo. When you catch a glimpse of these faces, you'll know what I mean. Let's dive in!Pocket Baseball Boy : Debut Yellow - After millennia napping in the pyramid, it is time to get out and play ball! Joining our Pocket Series is the debut release of BASEBALL BOY! Sporting (sorry!) an entirely new head sculpt, this little guy is cast in yellow vinyl, with a black & white baseball cap, and bright red stitching. His round, mummified belly is highlighted with an orange spray. Baseball Boy stands 3” tall and is comprised of high-quality Japanese vinyl. Created by Brian Flynn.
Fossilla : Debut Grey Goop - Giant monsters attack our cities! Where have these strange beasts come from? What can be done to stop their deadly rampage? To save the world, we must….DESTROY ALL KAIJU! After an untimely meteor ended his rampage much too early, this deadly dino sunk deep into the Earth and was reborn in modern day as the unstoppable FOSSILLA! His flesh may have “crudely” sloughed from his (now exposed) bones and metamorphosed to a disgusting oily goop, but somewhere in that slop are feet that have been waiting millions of years to stomp on buildings. The highly-anticipated Debut release of FOSSILLA sees the kaiju cast in unpainted grey vinyl. He stands 9” tall and is articulated at the head, arms, and legs. This collectible toy also comes with a bonus “anatomy lesson” backing card. Joshua Herbolsheimer’s newest creature creation!

Bwanna Spoons’ character is a two-piece vinyl figure articulated at the waist, and measures 4” tall.

HONOO burns up your collection as a two-piece Japanese vinyl figure articulated at the neck.
Leroy C. : Translucent Green - The world’s happiest dinosaur is rendered with exacting care to be authentic to the very last detail of the giant lizards of prehistory. Okay, we may have gotten bad info from wikipedia or something, but we definitely remember someone saying that all dinosaurs were translucent green and 4 inches tall so that’s what we went by. Maybe it isn’t so accurate after all, but that doesn’t make this toy any less sweet! Just take LEROY C to your toy shelf and not the Smithsonian and everything will be fine. Invisible Creature’s dino creation is highlighted with red, white, black, yellow, and green sprays. This two piece vinyl figure is jointed at the neck.
