Amanda Louise Spayd's Secret Society Sale



     My house is filled with dust bunnies.  Not like, filled to the point where I'm wading knee deep in them to try and reach other rooms, but enough that if a light breeze were to come by a few fairly large specimens would most likely skitter across the floor.  Our five cats seem to shed like there were Olympic medals and the glory of their country at stake.  And there will be times that you miss vacuuming under something and all the dust bunnies will congregate under there until they form something that resembles a witch's Halloween wig.  On those days of discovery a few episodes of Hoarders always makes me feel better about my house keeping abilities.  

    Not all dust bunnies are a source of shame though.  Amanda Louise Spayd has been making them for years and people go nuts to own them.  I really like the little resin versions, called Pipsqueaks, the best and a bunch of them will be going on sale tomorrow along with more of her original work.   Visit her site at www.amandalouise.com for more information including pictures, prices, and on sale times.  

Terror Boys Ooze No. 13 from Brandt Peters and Ferg



    Well, if your kids are looking at this they will most likely never be able to sleep again, so say hello to the rest of your life taking them back and forth to therapy.  He's not too terrifying really, until he puts that sack over his head and his eyes become vacant holes.  That is the stuff of nightmares.  

    That being said, this is by far my favorite version in the Terror Boys Ooze line from Brandt Peters and Ferg.  You can't go wrong with a Freddy sweater, a burlap sack, and a few sharp objects meant for dicing up misbehaving teenagers.  I don't have any idea how much one of these will cost, but I do know that they go on sale this Monday, May 12, at noon Central time through http://store.projectsquadt.com/.  

Fun With Google Searches



   

     You know I sometimes like to look at the strange searches that lead people to this website.  Today I have a few gems.  The first search phrase was "crickets chirping cartoon."  I have no idea what that has to do with me, but I hope you enjoyed your visit.  My favorite one though, is "Alex is weird".  I couldn't begin to imagine what that person hoped to accomplish by searching that.  Maybe they just wanted to be sure that their feelings about Alex's weirdness were valid.  Maybe they were on some sort of mind altering substance.  We may never know.

Limited Amount of 3A Mighty Squares to Be Offered at Bambaland Store



    This is one of those times that searching Google for a time zone converter comes in really handy.  A limited amount of Mighty Squares from 3A are going on sale May 8th at 9am Hong Kong time.  That translates to 9pm on May 7th (or tonight if you prefer) Eastern time.  Oh, look at that, I already did all the hard work for you.  Unless you don't live in either time zone, in which case you have to do the hard work.  Sorry about that.  Kiss your credit cards for good luck and pray to the toy goods to smile upon you.  


Cashmere Blue Porcelain Skull from NooN x K. Olin Tribu




    I don't know if they still make these or not, but remember those popsicles that told half of a joke on the handle and you didn't get the punch line that was hiding underneath until you finished eating it?  I wish that's how our skulls worked.  That after you were dead it would reveal some amazing design on your cranium.  It would certainly make the medical examiner's job more fun:

    "Upon exposing the skull, the deceased had a picture of the Tasmanian Devil holding a Confederate flag with the words Git Er Done written below it."

    I have simple dreams that will never come true, cause you can't get a Kickstarter going to make that happen.  What you can do is pick up one of these porcelain skulls from NooN x K. Olin Tribu.  It's much less messy than going out and harvesting your own skulls, plus the result is much nicer looking.  This Cashmere Blue edition goes up for preorder today at 6pm French time, which equals to 2pm in New York and 9am in Los Angeles.  They are limited to only 50 pieces and can be found at http://www.artandtoys.com/.

Clear Predator Pop! Vinyl from Funko x Gemini Collectibles




    I hope we never discover the trick to becoming invisible.  There are already enough creepy folks out there filming our every moves and the last thing we need is to make it easier for them.  Think about it, if you could be invisible what good would it do you other than to be able to creep around and be a weirdo.  Now if they could invent a way for me to shoot fireballs from the palm of my hands without the need of some mechanical device that would be cool.

   You know why Predators need to be invisible?  Cause they want to kill you.  And look at you in the shower.  They're the perviest of all alien species.  Funko and Gemini Collectibles are offering up this clear Predator Pop! Vinyl for preorder right now, so you should totally buy one and forget all that other stuff I just said.
