Funko Making Star Wars/Monster Mashup Figures

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 by Vincent

I ran across these awesome hybrids of Star Wars and “classic” (MGM style?) monster figures while reading up on Toy Fair. Apparently they’re bobbleheads and will be released later this year. I appreciate their stupid faces, just because I love anything evocative of the classic MGM monster movies.

Since Star Wars’ legacy now seems to be relegated to toys and not movies, so they might as well be cool toys.

Worst Vampire Merchandise Ever

This article on the worst vampire products had me dying. Included is a Twilight shower curtain, Tru Blood soda, and even a reusable sexy vampire menstrual pad (no lie). So many horrible options available, but he nailed it pretty well here.

Darkside Kids

Monday, October 26th, 2009 by Price

So on my birthday, I got drunk and wandered into Toy Tokyo which was a huge mistake (OK not really, I actually did WANT to be there) and ended up with several hundred dollars worth of toys. The Darkside Kids collection was one of them.

Being close to Halloween, anything that remotely resembles a skull or a pumpkin grabs my attention like Dino Cazares grabs twinkies (OOOOOOOOOH FACED!).

Allow me to introduce you to the crew. We have from left to right, Pumpkin, Jr., and Bone.

Neat.

Friday, October 23rd, 2009 by Price

Baby Tattoo books had a display. They publish the work of several contemporary artists like Ragnar and others.

Lucky for them, I hit their booth at the +4 beer mark, so I was more than ready and willing to part ways with my hard-earned moneys.

9 Days Until Halloween

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 by Vincent

Only 9 more days until Halloween! Teehee! For today’s entry we’ll go with the 9 Satanic Statements, from Anton LaVey’s famous work, The Satanic Bible.

mj_bible

Actual Cover

Hold onto your dicks, we’ve got a lot of exclaimation points ahead of us:

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!

When I was 14 that shit was awesome.

So celebrate October 22nd by checking out his grandson, Stanton’s, myspace page.  I read an interview with him in a magazine (Spin? Rollingstone?) last year and it was pretty hilarious. He seems like a fun guy, and he’s just like us, only bald, famous and expected to act like a lunatic. I’m truly envious.

Coney Island Freaktobest Beer is 666alicious

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 by Price

OK. Prepare yourself for this. Coney Island Freaktoberfest Beer.

Brewed with 6 malts. Brewed with 6 hops. And most importantly, a BAC of 6.66%. THE MOST EVIL AND AMAZING BAC EVER FOR A BEER!!!

OH WAIT. NEVERMIND. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IT IS BLOOD-RED:

coney-island-freaktoberfest

OK well not quite. Pinkish foam. Ruby-colored. BUT STILL YOU GET THE POINT.

Now I admit I completely freaked (no pun intended) when I was alerted to this beer’s presence, so I hope to not be biased when I find it. Oh and if you find it, let me know, because I obviously haven’t yet.

I Just Bought a Zombie Shooting Gallery

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 by Price

This arrived at my desk today, and I couldn’t be more excited!

zombie_shooting_gallery

I just need to buy 9 AA batteries, and I’m all set! Review to come once my lazy ass gets to the store.

There’s probably no way that this thing works very well, and can’t be that accurate. But when it’s Halloween and you have a trigger finger for impulse buys, well, you end up with this sort of thing quite often.

Feed Your Fear

This is a pretty cool website for Fox and their “Feed Your Fear” Blu Ray promotion, where they have several titles like The Omen, 28 Days Later, and Misery on sale for half-off at Amazon.

Fun time-killer to squish the cockroaches too.
