Even if you’re not into comics, you should probably head over to your nearest Golden-Whatever comic shop next Wednesday and pick up a copy of Batman #681 because Bruce Wayne’s hanging up the cape after he discovers a shocking secret from his past! This issue caps off the Batman R.I.P. storyline written by Grant Morrison and it’s sure to fly off the shelves and possibly turn a pretty penny in the years to come - sorta’ like the Death of Superman back in the 90’s, until the comic market nearly collapsed and most of those issues became just about worthless.

Neil Gaiman will be writing 2-issue a followup storyarc starting with Batman #686 entitled Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader. I’m sure the DC Universe will be flooded with spin-offs and cash-ins revolving around the event.

I’m personally hoping that Alfred and Nightwing duke it out cagematch style over who gets the keys to the Batmobile.

Buff Monster announced on his site that he’ll be releasing this so-sexy-it-makes-my-pants-hurt 10″ Teddy Troop. There’s no details yet, but if the price is right, this could wind up being the first Teddy Troop that I own.

Not sure who the artist is behind this one, but the design is nothing short of striking. Good work, no-named soul. [Via Wooster Collective]

This new piece from Elbowtoe is ridiculously detailed. If you couldn’t tell, it’s a piece about the current state of economy.

Our homie Spanky Stokes somehow got his toy-loving mitts on some pics of what could possibly be a new 8″ Dunny from Ron English. There hasn’t been an official announcement yet, but it’s a known fact that Ron English will signing an unannounced rare Dunny at Kidrobot Miami for Art Basel. This seems fairly solid and it’s nice to see a Dunny that I actually want to buy for the first time in a few months.

I am about to start playing Animal Crossing: City Folk and most of you have to wait until Sunday! What can I say, I’m awesome! Anyway the big question is . . . Start fresh? or Move from DS?

Stayed tuned for the albotas review! But from now on, I am pretty much going to be useless, nonexistent!

The Tomy Xiao isn’t anything particularly special when it comes to specs (5 Megapixels with a 2.5 in. screen), but it’s driving factor is the built-in printer that holds up to 20 sheets of sticky-paper. It also has a paltry 16MB of internal memory, but it supports SD/SDHC memory cards and you can even wirelessly send pictures to the camera from any IrDA devices. The only thing that worries me about this camera is the fact that the ink isn’t replaceable and there’s no mention of how long it lasts on the site. Duh. Zink doesn’t need ink. I forgot that we live in the future.

The Xiao TIP-521 drops in Japan on November 28th. No clue if it’s coming to the U.S., but I’m pretty sure I want one.

Take one of the most famous April Fools pranks in videogame history, mix it up with the most anticipated fighting game of the past decade, and you’ve got yourself a fresh new character for Street Fighter IV.

Banksy did up another gigantor-sized painting in New York. This time, he apparently wants everyone to eat some crack.

Set for a tentative mid-December release, adFunture’s highly anticipated Series 3 Teddy Troops are finally on their way. There’s 12 different figures in this series and two of them are mystery chases. Each case of 25 is guaranteed to have at least the standard set of 10 so you don’t have to buy like 10 boxes to complete the set. The artists responsible for the awesomeness in this series are Flying Fortress, Mr. Jago, Seen, KRSN, SEEN, Jeremy Fish, Joe Ledbetter, and Frank Kozik.

Out of the ones pictured above, which one’s your favorite?

Mustaches (or moustaches, if you wish) are all the rage these days, but only in an ironic way. I refuse to believe that hot chicks dig guys with staches unless they’ve had sex with their fathers and liked it. Now, ugly chicks I could totally understand, but no way in hell you’ll ever hear a hottie saying she wants to jump a dudes bones because of his facial hair.

That being said, mustaches are so freaking badass and I totally wish I could grow one without looking like a complete dick. Since I’m apparently facially follicly challenged, I spend an unhealthy amount of time admiring the inanimate objects that have sweeter mustaches than I could ever hope for. Hit the jump for a look at 10 of the coolest things with mustaches ever.

Why!? I just keep thinking of Dumplings, that one story from Three Extremes where Bai Ling gave girls home-made abortions to make baby fetus dumplings and eat them to stay young. GROSS!!!

The watch is so effing sexy! Sadly, it’s just a concept design. Too bad. I would’ve rocked this thing on the daily. A dude can never have too many watches and that’s the truth.
