Yeti Dunny from Pause Designs x Kidrobot Releases Tomorrow

    And now for something completely different.  By you seeing this picture, you have officially seen more yeti than any of those stupid tv shows that try to hunt them down.  How is that even enjoyable to watch?  Oh look, some hillbillies are gonna throw snack food all over the forest, then sit around and get excited at every single noise they hear.  "Did you hear that?  Let's run really fast and make the camera all jumpy, find nothing, then go on and on about how we just missed it."  Repeat this 13 times and you have an entire season of television.  

    Pause Designs made a custom yeti for a client a few years back where they flipped a Dunny over, glued his arms to his feet, and made a terrifying snow critter.  Kidrobot liked it so much that they actually put it in to production and you can buy one tomorrow.  It's a weird design to say the least, and it's taken me some time to wrap my head around.  I applaud them for taking such a risk with their iconic Dunny platform, and I applaud them even further for making this one more affordable at $59.99.  They've been more willing to push the boundaries with sculpted details before, but this is the first time that the original figure is almost unrecognizable.  It makes me excited to see what they will do next.  

Totims from Tim Clarke x Toy Art Gallery

    Sharon and I recently started rewatching that show Millennium that was on in the '90's with Lance Henriksen and last night we took it too far.  It was like that episode of Portlandia, when they marathoned Battlestar Galactica and then everyone lost their jobs cause they couldn't stop watching it.  Before we knew it the clock struck 1 am and I felt like death.  Normally, I'm pretty coherent until about 11:30, then my body decides it has had enough and starts to shut down.  I forget how to speak english, I start that weird half awake/half asleep dreaming, and the stairs to the second floor become an insurmountable obstacle not unlike Mt. Everest.  But the show is soooooooooooo good.  The moral of the story is that this looks like something that Frank Black (who is played by the aforementioned Mr. Henriksen) would find at a crime scene and lead him to the ultimate psychological battle with a serial murderer.  

    This is a Totim and it was created by Tim Clarke.  If you grew up when I did you know Tim's work, cause this dude made some killer toys, like Boglins, and even worked for Jim Henson making all kinds of critters you would instantly recognize.  He and Toy Art Gallery put their heads together to produce this interchangeable toy that lets you reorganize the parts to suit your mood.  Each piece is double sided so you have a bunch of possibilities when it comes to how it looks.  This pink edition goes on sale Tomorrow, December 4th, at noon Pacific time at http://shop.toyartgallery.com/.

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.
