Well... that didn’t take long. Following its debut at Mass Mini Con, 100% Soft brought a small batch of the Lil Flat File Fire resin figure online, and collectors wasted no time cleaning them out. The new piece takes the familiar little smiling chaos of 100% Soft and stuffs it inside a stack of happy little flat file drawers... complete with a massive translucent orange fire erupting from the top. Each drawer has its own tiny face, there are little scraps of paper sticking out from between the drawers, and somehow the whole thing still manages to look ridiculously cheerful despite being completely engulfed in flames.

noreply@blogger.com (SpankyStokes) — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 14:09:52 +0000

There’s something instantly familiar about Ghost Warrior, the latest mini figure from Unseen Display, but this little skeletal fighter has been given a serious samurai makeover. Standing just 3" tall, Ghost Warrior is a cast metal collectible inspired by the classic 1995 LEGO skeleton body design, reworked with a killer skeleton samurai helmet sitting up top. The exposed rib cage, skeletal limbs and claw-like hands keep that old-school toy influence intact, while the oversized kabuto-style helmet completely changes the personality of the piece.

GUERS Builds The Colony... Zine’s Beaver Mascot Debuts In 'Mocha' And 'Obsidian' Editions!

noreply@blogger.com (SpankyStokes) — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 14:12:00 +0000

Here we go... a brand new mascot is stepping into the designer toy world, and this little builder has some serious personality! Montreal-based artist Zine is introducing GUERS, a stylized cartoon beaver collectible that kicks off with the first series titled The Colony. Rather than creating a brand new character for every release, Zine wanted to build around one core mascot that could be reimagined through different colorways over time. Think of that familiar collector rhythm where one strong character becomes the canvas, and each edition adds a new layer to the story. For GUERS, that character is a rounded, wide-eyed beaver with buck teeth, white glove-like hands, a soft body shape, and a whole lot of shelf presence.
