After Christmas Sales

    I know what you're thinking.  Christmas hasn't even gone cold yet and already I'm posting about sales.  You know you can't get enough stuff.  That's why you collect toys.  If you could control your spending you would take up a hobby like bird watching or serial killing.  There's no shame in wanting everything you can get your grubby mitts on, so you might as well save some money while you do it.

Lego Back to The Future Sets are Coming

   Saw this posted around the internet so I thought I'd share it here as well.  Lego will be producing official Back to the Future set sometime in...the future.  These were fan designed and were so popular that they will now be offered for sale.  Now maybe they will finally make that Snakes on a Plane set that has been long overdue.  

TAG x Secret Base Karakasa Tattoo Man Painted Edition

    This thing scares the crap outta me.  Do you remember when they were remaking all of those Japanese horror movies for awhile and every one of the ghosts looked like this?  I feel like this guy would creep up behind you and make some weird throaty noise that signaled your death was near.  

    This is the Karakasa Tattoo Man from Secret Base and Toy Art Gallery.  The tattoo work on the figure is stunning, but that doesn't offset the fact that I think he's going to murder me.  If you're a bit braver than I am you can purchase on of these freaky dudes on Christmas Eve for $100.  Of spend $120 and get a poster designed by Hiroshi from Three Tides Tattoo who did this creepy dudes ink work.  Get one at shop.toyartgallery.com.  

Dead Space 3 Statue from Kotobukiya

    Don't you hate it when you're all dressed up in your fancy futuristic snow suit and you step in a big pile of dead thing?  It's enough to ruin a nice day out in winter's glory.  You're gonna have to leave that boot on the front porch so you don't track biological material all over the carpet then you're gonna forget about it and it will never be as nice as it once was after a few days.  Then you have to buy new boots, which you won't, because instead you'll try and wear your Chuck Taylors in an effort to save money and then your socks will get wet and you'll have to have three toes amputated when frostbite sets in.  The moral of the story is don't step in a pile of dead thing.  

    This is Isaac from Dead Space 3.  If you remember the previous 2 games you will know that he is some  kinda space dude who wakes up and is uber traumatized by the goings on aboard his ship.  Everybody is turning into things called Necromorphs and they jump out at you as soon as it's all quiet and you think you might be a tad bit safe.  In the second game there was a stretch of maybe ten minutes where nothing at all happens while you're searching this abandoned ship and it nearly gave me a panic attack.  

    Kotobukiya made this cool statue to immortalize the game's hero.  It even lights up so it can startle you in the middle of the night when you have to get up to pee.  You can get one of these when they're released in June for $139.99.  

Spaced-Out Bunny from Joe Ledbetter

    I am shocked that the Joe Ledbetter Chaos Bunny that is smokin' a joint would be an exclusive to a store in Amsterdam!!!  I guess it was either here or Jamaica, and from what I'm told the toys stores in Bob Marley's home country leave a lot to be desired.  Actually, no one's ever told me that, I just made it up.

    Pretty much all you need to know is featured in the picture, so let's talk about you.  How have you been?  I've been good myself, working a lot, trying to keep up with this whole blog thing.  I hope you're finding it entertaining and informative.  Or maybe it's just better than doing the housework you've put off for a week now.  I'll take that.   

Jon Paul Kaiser x Outsmart Originals Tee Shirts Take 2

    That monkey looks pissed and he doesn't look like he's going to stop at poo throwing to relieve his anger.  When a monkey makes a face like that you are going to lose an arm and get beaten in the head with it.  I'm just warning you for the next time you're at Ikea and you see a little monkey roaming around in his winter jacket.  

    Any minute now this cute little ape could flip out and ruin your shopping experience.  You thought you were getting some low priced Scandinavian furniture when in fact your going to the emergency room and getting sewn back together like some devil child's teddy bear.  

    Harness the power of the angry monkey in this tee shirt from Jon Paul Kaiser and Outsmart Originals.  You can order one right now at http://www.outsmartoriginals.com/ and it will be mailed out January 2nd, after the shipping department has sobered up from their new year's festivities.  

The Lake Monsters Dredge Bone Edition from Brian Morris

    This is the kind of thing I bet my neighbors expect me to have in my house.  For years, my goal has been to be the weirdo on the block.  I want to own the house that people cross the street not to be close to.  I cemented that position once when I was sitting on my porch, wearing a respirator, and sawing through a pair of fake antlers for an art project right when the school bus was dropping kids off.  I can't tell if my wife was as amused by it as I was, but I found it hilarious.  I also find it to be the cheapest home security system apart from buying a large, scary dog.  Who's gonna break into the house of a guy with a bone saw?  Genius right?

    This is the Lake Monsters Dredge Bone Edition from Brian Morris and Rotofugi.  It's a freaky little thing right?  And little is not entirely accurate as it stands 8 inches tall and is on sale now for only $60.  Buy one, toss it in your window, and have as much fun with your neighbors as I do mine.
