Erick Scarecrow of ESC-Toy always brings a ton of items to conventions, but this year seems to be a record with how many different pieces he’s decided to show up with, and if you’re looking to score some of these for yourself, you’ll have lots of opportunities to! On Friday, Erick will be signing from 3-4 PM at Clutter’s booth (#504) and on Saturday, he’ll be over at the Tenacious Toys booth (#208) from 5-6 PM. First up is a piece that can’t be bought, but can only be won: an edition of 5 custom Daryl Dixon Funko figures from The Walking Dead with custom paint to make him look like the Colossal Titan from Attack on Titan. Why? I have no clue, but it looks pretty cool, so let’s all just go with it. You can win one by buying any ESC-Toy piece at the con from the many booths selling his work or via his website’s releases during the period.
First up in releases is the Dali x Crow Bear Blue Hour version, which will be an edition of 20 that will retail for $30 and will be available at Clutter’s booth during Erick’s signing. Also available at Clutter’s booth will be the Little Spiker print, available beginning Preview Night, for $25 and will be an edition of 25 and the I’m Your Puppet print, also for $25, but an edition of 20. Next up, over at the Tenacious Toys booth will be the Bloody Lurker collaboration with Frombies that is limited to 7 pieces for $75 each and available during his signing as well as a Solid Snake print from Metal Gear Solid available on Preview Night for an unknown price, but will be an edition of 20, and a Fr*eza print edition of 10 for $25. Over at Big Kev’s Geek Stuff’s booth (#Z16-Z17), some more prints will be on hand for the comic fans: a One P*ece x Luffybot print, also an edition of 10 for $25, and a Batgirl print, edition of 20 for $25.
If you’re not able to make it to the convention though, don’t sweat! A ton of releases will be available online, today, Wednesday the 9th at 12:00 PM EST. The Mr. 2600 Classic version (20 pieces, $30 each), Leatherface Hooper customs (12 pieces $30 each), Camo Maru customs (6 pieces, $30 each), Little Spiker Mossdown (21 pieces, $100 each), S. Maria Camo (7 pieces, $225 each), Final Fantasy Shinra Storm Cloud custom (1 piece, price TBA), Final Fantasy Judge’s Rage custom (1 piece, $325), Star Wars Camo Vader custom (1 piece, price TBA), Metal Gear Solid Split Camo Snake custom (1 piece, $325), and Wet Suit Maria Supu (3 pieces, $100 each) will all be available at that time. I know I have my eyes on the Dali x Crow Bear for sure!

Babs here is based on her New 52 design and, I guess was a favorite of both DC and Kotobukiya as she’s the first one painted, and boy does she look great! Her paint is similar to the alternate colorway Batgirl Bishoujo that came out featuring black and gold paint with Babs’ signature red hair and mixes glossy and matte paint quite well. No word on a price yet, but expect her to be in the $39.99 range and she’ll be available to swoop down from the rafters in June of 2014.</p> <p>[via <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.757329810950084.1073741952.137679822915089&type=1" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.facebook.com']);" target="_blank">Kotobukiya's Facebook</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/KotobukiyaArtFXBatgirlHeader.jpg "Kotobukiya’s ArtFX+ Batgirl is Ready For Action")

If you don’t like him you can just <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtQ8cYuLSPE" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.youtube.com']);" rel="lightbox-video-0">get out of here</a>! So I was excited when Kotobukiya announced an ArtFX+ of him because 1) he doesn’t have enough figures and 2) it’s a super affordable line (I don’t have enough cash for 1/6 statues!).</p> <p>We got to take a look at him at NYCC and uhnf, I’m in love. I rarely fangirl out for male figures but oh my god Nightwing I LOVE YOU. Though I do wish it was his blue outfit. But come on now, the chances for a recolor are probably really high…. right?</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/NYCC2013KotobukiyaNightwingGalleryHeader.jpg "NYCC 2013: Kotobukiya’s Nightwing ArtFX+ Gallery")

In fact, the thing I was looking forward to most popped up there–the sculpt for <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/check-out-shunya-yamashitas-black-canary-art" target="_blank">Black Canary</a>!</p> <p>She’s been in limbo for a while, hanging out in art form while other Bishes flew through the sculpting & painting stage. But all this waiting paid off since she looks AMAZING. I can’t wait to see her with the real fishnets!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/BlackCanaryBishHeader.jpg "NYCC 2013: Kotobukiya’s DC Comics Black Canary Bishoujo")
![<p><a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/?attachment_id=48590" rel="attachment wp-att-48590"></a></p> <p>Welp… we knew this day would come eventually. Starfire is far from a main character in the DC universe but she’s quite popular and given her outfit (or lack of one) she kind of seems perfect for the Bishoujo line. Fans have been clamoring for her to join the lineup since it first started, and they’ve finally got their wish. But sadly this is definitely New 52 Starfire–all fanservice, no character.</p> <p>I mean, come on, even for Shunya this is totally tasteless. She’s straddling a meteor. The pose is just… wow. And the outfit. We can see enough of her boobs, she doesn’t need to squish them together. It’s a shame, because there are some aspects I really like: her hair is gorgeous, and the purple and orange color combo is to die for. But this is one Bish I am not looking forward to.</p> <p>[via <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=733439810005751&set=a.144280162255055.27267.137679822915089&type=1&relevant_count=1" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.facebook.com']);" target="_blank">Kotobukiya's Facebook</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/StarfireArtHeader.jpg "Starfire Joins Kotobukiya’s DC Bishoujos")

@mikeyturvey I agree with you. I stopped reading them because I got tired of it, though @Sir_Narwhal is correct that it's normal for comics.
@Sir_Narwhal Sounds like (ohoho) specialist equipment. Black Friday is more mass consumer oriented isn't it?
@GeekeryDo @mikeyturvey That's why DC even released a book JUST of Court of the Owls with all of those side issues because the story spans.
