Wednesday, March 17th, 2010French Artist Maurice Calk’s Boomerang Desk was released as a limited edition of 35 desks in the late 1960s. Now, 40+ years later, the desk is swinging back into production thanks to Calk’s son, Sergio, who has allowed reproduction in honor of his father. How nice. Now if only he could honor his father by [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Iwako Eye Candy!!!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010There were plenty of yummy things to gaze upon over at the Iwako booth, but nothing beat the stacks upon stacks of boxes of erasers, my favorite school supply. I used to collect erasers as a kid and though my magical collection has mysteriously disappeared over the years, I’ve managed to salvage a few gems. [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Living Dead Dolls Are Drop Dead Gorgeous
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010While visiting the LBP figures over at Mezco, I got a chance to get up close to some upcoming Living Dead Dolls series. And by up close, I mean they were in a glass case. Good enough for me, their creepy gorgeousness shined through. Unfortunately, these photos do them absolutely no justice. Mind you, this [...]
Toy Fair 2010: LittleBigPlanet Figures!
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010I had to dive through a backed up pile of boys from the Diamond booth to get to these little LBP figures over at Mezco and I’m glad I did since I was awarded with my very own LBP keychain for being a good LittleBigWarrior.
Judging by the envious look in Coop’s eyes, I might want [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Funko Plushies Sets
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010While waiting on one of the boys, I noticed these adorable Justice League plushies from far away over at Funko’s booth. I thought to myself, “Oh man, those better be Justice League plushies or else.” Luckily for Funko, they were. And lucky for all of us, they also come in The Wizard of Oz and [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Domo-Kun At Dark Horse!
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Over at Dark Horse there was a glass case stocked with Domo-Kun and I may or may not have began drooling all over myself when I saw it. In retrospect, it was really Paige who tuned me into the lovable monster and now I just can’t get enough. So mama Paige, which one is your [...]
Skip The Chocolates – Valentine’s Day Box Of Microbes!
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010ThinkGeek’s microbe plushies are pretty great as is. I totally gave Dom salmonella for Christmas once, and it was great! So why not skip the chocolates, the roses and the trashy lingerie and give your loved one a heart-shaped box of all the things Valentine’s Day is made out of, including sperm, egg, penicillin, amoeba [...]
Now THAT’s Art – A Tool To Deceive And Slaughter
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010If you’re ready to start your art collection, you may want to hold off on Caleb Larsen’s “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” which is currently available on eBay. Nothing against a black, acrylic cube. It’s very nice, it just will never be yours. Confused? Take a closer look at the “purchase agreement”.

Kidrobot Looking A Little Un-Kidrobot-y
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010But who’s complaining? Not me.
So Paul just sent me a link to these awesome like VW Bus toys from Kidrobot. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised. Nothing against Kidrobot, I enjoy their style and all but they’re pretty… specific. But hey, breaking the mold is always appreciated. Especially when they make these!
Chairs! Designer chairs! [...]
Boba Fett Bust
Sunday, December 27th, 2009You know it’s going to be a good day when the first 10 posts on your RSS feed are all Star Wars related. Not that it’s uncommon to be flooded with Star Wars goodies, today was just a little more in your face. And while I made not be that fond of this classic Boba [...]
20 Months, 500 Colored Pencils
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Stumped what to give a special someone for Christmas or their birthday? Well here’s a unique gift that’ll keep on giving the whole year long (and then some). Social Designer presents the 500 Colored Pencils subscription where the subscriber is sent 25 colored pencils a month over the course of 20 months. You may ask [...]
Happy Plushy Sushy
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Awww, that sushi is so happy about being sushi which, honestly, is kind of odd. I have never been excited about dying, let alone being consumed and digested. Then again, they did make a smooth move with stuffing themselves with plushiness. As long as they keep away from the vengeful sushi dog on Halloween, everything [...]
Hello Kitty Anatomy
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009I know I slam on people slamming my poor abused feline friend, Hello Kitty, but this vinyl toy collaboration between Sanrio, Dr. Romanelli and Medicom, well, I think I might love it. Maybe? I don’t know. I mean, I always assumed Hello Kitty was stuffed with candy and pixie dust, but smiling and bow adorned [...]
Beer Sweaters!
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Flickr-er AJ Fosik has acquired quite an impressive collection of promotional knit beer sweaters from back when a promotional knit beer sweater was a worthy outlet of promotion (the 70s and 80s). At the risk of sounding like a stupid, dirty hipster, I would do anything for that PBR sweater including, but not limited to, [...]
Carl Nesting Dolls
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009Your favorite Jersey man, Carl of Aqua Teen Hunger Force (sorry, Jovi) has been resurrected in Russian form. No, not Vodka. Nesting dolls! Why? Meh, why not? And while I’m surprised Blue Oyster Cult isn’t hiding in his innards (what? They put Rush in a watermelon), I’m happy to see he has a gold chain [...]

Super Mario Chess Set
Monday, August 10th, 2009Guest post by Zane!
This collector’s edition chess set features 32 hand painted figures, and is full of awesome. My favorite part is the Koopa shells as pawns. Also, let’s be honest – Bowser looks kickass.
Available over at first4figures for only $34.

Pac-Man Zippos
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary is coming up…kinda (next May) but Bandai Namco still plans on kicking off celebrations (and celebratory merchandise) a little early with these awesome Pac-Man branded Zippos. Japan can look forward to the firey gems come November. As for the rest of us, you can make a request for one via Rinkya for [...]
Mini Nikon Candy Prizes
Monday, March 16th, 2009These mini Nikon SLR models were featured as prizes in the Glico caramel candies back in 2002. For the record, I never found anything nearly as incredible as this in a cereal box let alone in my candy and I’m starting to feel bitter about it. Seriously, I better find a unicorn in my Cheez-Its [...]
