As some of you may know, I am a HUGE Adventure Time fan. As such, I am very happy to report that Kid Robot has AWESOME toys coming out that will be coming very soon. I go to see them at this year's Toy Fair and was flipping out, as soon as I saw them! The detail and paint job on them is excellent. And, the cuteness/ kick ass level is over the top!
The mystery figures (shown above, left, and below) are must have for me! Although, I am not big into this type of toy, I am definitely buying these! They look to good for me to pass up on. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the upcoming toy lines that I am most excited for! Come on, just look at how freaking awesome they look!! In the pictures shown you will see that the figures are next to display and packaging that they will come in.
There were also be smaller key-chain figures (right), that are as equally impressive and cute. Yes, I'm gonna have to get these too! BMO alone is a MUST have!!!
Finally, look at these Finn figures to the left. They are larger (and NOT mystery toys) than the other figures and as such, are more expensive. But, as you can see from this picture, they will be well worth the price! The pink coat version will be a comic con exclusive, by the way. I've described my love for Adventure Time collectibles as an addiction, and I am very happy to see that Kid Robot will be contributing to it!
I have something to admit... I absolutely love Adventure Time!! It's become my favorite non-Adult Swim cartoon and with good reason. I started watching the show last year, after hearing good things about it. I ain't looked back since.
Created by Pendelton Ward , this fantasy toon airing on Cartoon Network is about Finn the human and his loyal dog and best friend Jake the dog, and, well, their adventures in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. Finn is a 14 year-old human boy, who is a brave hero. Jake has magical powers and can grow, shrink, or stretch his limbs. The world is filled with various creatures, monsters, weird denizens, princesses, vampires, demons, wizards, and other cool shit. It's a crazy and silly world where anything is possible.
There are lot of fun and recurring supporting characters like the evil Ice King, the pretty Princess Bubblegum, or goth/ vampire babe Marceline. They all add to the coolness of the show, and there is actually a continuity of sorts, storyline wise. Plus, I love the fact that there is enough humor, themes, and action to keep away from being strictly for the kids. I wouldn't like it anywhere near as much if it was.
The writing is phenomenal on the show. It's smart, funny, and highly original. And, it's clear the writers love things like: video games, horror, fantasy (duh!), metal, and geek culture, in general. In fact, one needs only to go to any comic or anime con, and you'll see a bunch of people cosplaying as characters from the show. Last year, the Ice King was one of the best at NYCC.
It's been a huge critical and commercial success for the channel. So, of course, there is some great merchandise. I got the little figurine of Finn given out last year at NYCC, and just this past Sunday, I picked up, at Hot Topic, a cool light, blue tee with Jake in a pocket. Plus, also at Hot Topic, I got to, finally (!), get small plush doll of Jake. It looks so cute and you can hang him. At 9 bucks it's not a bad price. And, once you own it, you'll be happy you did pick him up!!! Now, I want, no NEED more Adventure Time merchandise!!
Still need more convincing of how awesome this show is? Here are vids to do just that:
A couple of new episodes have been airing as of late and my love for this show grows exponentially. What time is it? It's Adventure Time!!!!! And, I wouldn't have it any other way!!
