Finally, after all sorts of computer melt-downs on my end we are proud to present to you Tomocast 17: The Revenge of Pino! Our new community manager Kris Pino has been the podcasting world's dirty little secret for months, and now we are finally unleashing her fury all over your mp3-playing device! Joining the "big hate in a tiny package" are series heart-throb Pedro Cortes, the love of my life Rio McCarthy, and the love of my other life Jonathan Tubbs. This ep, we rocked out the great questions that you guys asked us. We also went on a great many diversions. A few too many, to be honest. So keep an eye out for a separate release of all the bits and pieces that got edited out of this ep (mostly wrestling talk). Hit the jump for pics and links of all the goodies that we talked about.

As mentioned in the Christmas episode, here is the famous scarf. Rio yanked the cable on it before it could affect her win/loss record. Millions of small creatures lurking everywhere (aka Kinnikuman). That Rubik sure is one amazing cube! (Though, five bucks says he pulls off the stickers and puts them in the right places when he needs to make himself look presentable.)
E3 is going on right now (as this goes live, Sony's press conference is one hour away), so it's only fitting that Custom Made Monday dives into some video game customs this week! Well, we did last week, too, also using E3 as ... It's hard to believe, but Cavey is already three years old and to celebrate the occasion creator Holly Stanway (aka A Little Stranger) held a party to celebrate. More than just a chance to eat, drink and be merry though, this was also a chance to see the 41 custom Vinyl Caveys produced specifically for the event.
Hit the jump to check out photos and more from the show! It's the end of the month, so that means it's time for DO WANT. As usual, the Tomo staff lets everybody know what they want from the bottom of their PVC, diecast and/or vinyl hearts. This month, you can expect:
A sadist
a couple of school girls
an underwater songstress
a Tomo classic
and more!
Hit the jump to find out! We're through with April, which means we celebrate its demise with another edition of DO WANT. Here, you'll see all of us at Tomopop want on our desks, shelves, etc.
This month, you can look forward to:
A goddess
A scout
A pop star
A glorious mustache
...and more! Hit the jump to find out what. Welcome back to the feature that lets you know how we want to spend our hard-earned ducats. That's right, it's the monthly DO WANT! Sorry we're a couple days late, as we had to prep for the usual April Fools shenanigans. ... Everybody has a favorite Batman rogue. Usually that favorite is along the lines of the Joker, Riddler, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, or Catwoman, although there's also the occasional Mr. Freeze fan. My choice might be a little less... When us Western folks think about figure scenes in the East, we tend to invariably end up thinking about two main places. The place where they all came from, Japan and probably the second-largest community in the area, Singap... Oh, it's the end of the month you say? Well, that can only mean one thing: it's time for DO WANT! This month, we have several editors agreeing on one particular figure, which hasn't happened in a while. Which one is it? Well,... Welcome back again to Custom Made Monday, our spotlight on things going on in the world of custom figures. This week's rundown is a little bit shorter than last week's, but it's also just as impressive. In part, that's becaus... Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! To show our appreciation for you taking time out of your day every day to come visit us, our editors got together and made a small gallery. We figure it would be impractical to mail out f...
