Game of Thrones Series 3 Pop! Vinyls from Funko




    On this day known as Cyber Monday let us think back to a simpler time, before the internet, or people being punched in the face over cheap dish towels.  Let us think back to the time so accurately portrayed in Game of Thrones, where an argument was decided by a sword and having children with your sister was no big deal.  Hold on a sec.  I'm being told that Game of Thrones is not actually a dramatic recreation of American history.  You're kidding right?  I know they didn't get to the whole George Washington part yet, but it I was sure it was coming.  I just assumed it was all real, what with the History Channel not actually airing anything of historical value anymore I thought HBO had picked up the slack and was gonna teach me something.  Obviously the place beyond the wall is Canada; we can all agree on that right?  

    Ok, I didn't really believe Game of Thrones was real, but I kind of wish it was.  Except for that whole 8 year winter thing, which seems kind of crappy.  Could you imagine if we really had to be completely bundled up for that long?  We would all look like those cave creatures who have that see-through skin.  You'd make a mint if you owned a tanning salon.  

    I'm finding it hard to stay on track today, so much so that I just wrote about how hard I'm finding it to stay on track.  Sure I could have deleted that part, but this way it's a more authentic experience for you, the reader.  We're on this magical journey together my friends, and there are gonna be some bumps in the road.

    So Funko has some pretty sweet new Game of Thrones Pop! Vinyl figures coming out in January.  Except for the Daenerys Targaryen, who will be released in February.  Why?  I dunno, just cause that's what they felt like doing.  I ain't mad about it.  
















Weird Ways That People Stumble Upon This Website



    Today's installment of "Weird Ways People Stumble Upon This Website" is a good one.  Two people in the world both searched for "what does slender man look like in...".  That's it.  That's all the information that Google would give me.  What could the rest of the question be?  What does slender man look like...in drag?  Or maybe ...in a Julia Roberts movie?  The world may never know, but I hope they found the answers they so desperately sought.

Mint Chocolate Chip Creamy from Gary Baseman x 3DRetro Releases Today!!




    Happy Black Friday!!! Hopefully none of my readers got trampled to death while buying cheap dvd players, cause I would miss you.  I'm serious, don't go putting yourself in harm's way and making me worry.    

    While the last thing you may be thinking about today is food, there's always room for ice cream!  Unless you're lactose intolerant like me, but plastic dairy products will not bring about those terrible symptoms that have you racing to the nearest restroom, which always ends up looking like that one from Trainspotting.  Oh cruel world.

    Gary Baseman and 3DRetro are releasing the newest edition of their Creamy vinyl toy today and this time he's mint chocolate chip flavored!!!  He's an exclusive to Gary's online store and will come with a signed limited edition print.  He's available starting at 9am Pacific time at http://garybaseman.com/shop/.

Monoclon from Cojica Toys x Lulubell Toy Bodega



    I happen to know somebody who thinks dinosaurs never existed.  I can't even remember how such a topic was brought up, but she just flat out doesn't believe they were ever real.  I've never heard anyone say this before, so I asked her why she felt this way.  She proceeded to tell me that she doesn't believe they were ever real, and I quote, because "they are just too big."  That's it.  No religious, or scientific reason.  Not even something that was suggested by Kanye West.  Nope, just that they would be "too big."  Oh, and the groundhog we have that lives outside might be an armadillo (in New Jersey), except for the fact that they're extinct. Her wealth of knowledge about our natural world knows no bounds.  

    But who really cares if dinosaurs never lived due to size limitations, cause they still make cool toys.  Like this Monoclon dude from Cojica Toys.  On December 1st you'll be able to own one for yourself when they go on sale through Lulubell Toy Bodega at noon Pacific time.

"Swamp Zombie" Bones from Mike Egan Releases Black Friday



    Black Friday has always sounded like a great premise for a horror movie.  Think about it:  you have tons of people out shopping in what is supposed to be a happy time of year.  The last thing they are thinking about is for some masked madman to come ripping through there with a chainsaw and turning Black Friday RED!  If you read that last part like guy with the really deep voice who does all the movie trailers you would totally give me all your money so I could make this film cause it sounds that good.  There's trailers full of money to be made Hollywood, so let's do this.  And I swear to God if someone does it and I don't get credit I'm gonna sue the living crap out of everyone.  And by credit I mean a UHaul truck full of cash.  

    Mike Egan obviously gets how awesome it would be to see a thousand people trapped in Wal-Mart with some murderous beast.  How could he not when he is releasing his Swamp Zombie editions of his Bones figure on Black Friday?  Hell, a few of these guys could be the evil that has befallen the bargain shoppers.  I'd watch that.  

    He hand painted 25 of these dudes and they come with their own coffin for when they wanna nap.  $150 will get you one when they go on sale at 12am Eastern time at http://mikeegan.bigcartel.com.
