Gummi Keiko: Sweet of the Dead from Fools Paradise

    One of the funniest things I've seen on the internet recently are the sugar free Gummi Bear reviews on Amazon.  Evidently whatever they use to sweeten those little squishy critters will make the fires of hell erupt from your backside.  For hours.  The stories are horrifying and hilarious at the same time.  If you're ready to laugh until you yourself feel ill, then click this link and revel in tales of the digestive misery of others.   

    So this guy is pretty frightening.  Try to ever eat a Gummi Bear again without thinking of a tiny skinned corpse sitting inside of it.  Not that it would make them any less delicious mind you, but if you feel a crunch when you bite into it you'll know what it was from. 

   This figure from Fools Paradise is pretty amazing though.  We've seen the anatomical versions of this candy before, but never like this.  I love how detailed the inner figure is, especially the painting of the muscles.  They're up for preorder right now at http://doublefools.blogspot.com/ through July 11th.  

Hazardous Taste Dunny from Sket-One x Huck Gee

    Anyone that knows me knows that I love orange Vitamin Water.  Or, I suppose I "loved" it until they recently changed the sweetener in it and made it taste disgusting.  Why do companies do that?  I couldn't have been the only person buying them by the case.  Sprite and 7up did it too in an effort to appease the health nuts and now both of those taste like drinking carbonated air freshener.  Their should be legislation that prevents stuff like this from happening.  We can call it the Lucas Law, in honor of the man who decided Star Wars was too brilliant and that he should add some cgi nonsense to it years later because being a billionaire is boring work unless you can ruin everything that people love.  Vitamin Water, you are the computer animated Jabba the Hut of the beverage world.  

    Ok, so this Dunny is called Hazardous Taste, but his contents look delicious, like that Ecto Cooler Hi-C put out years ago.  Couldn't be that bad for you, right?  Huck Gee and Sket-One have teamed up again for yet another impressive Dunny release.  And the clock has already started ticking on your ability to get one, because the window of opportunity to order closes when the clock strikes midnight tonight.  Only the amount ordered will be produced so you need to be a man (or woman) of action and get yourself in on the deal.

The Big Push to Bring Little Maddie to Life

    We're have officially one week left to go to make Little Maddie from Bigshot Toyworks a reality and there is still a lot of room to help and a lot of really cool rewards for doing so.  They've added the option to get a completely clear version of the figure that you can see here:

    You can also pick up different customized versions of this Cthulhu-possessed horsey from the likes of Mark Nagata, Martin Hsu, Monster Kolor, Small Angry Monster, Nemo, and Mechavirus.  These will all be one of a kind so you'll have ultimate bragging rights if you snag one.  This is the first time I've ever personally backed a Kickstarter project and I really really want to see this thing succeed.  Not even just for me though, but for the people that have worked hard to create it.  Go to this link and help out any way you can.  Even if it's only a $1 you're still helping it get closer to goal.    

Antichrist 666 Lucky Bags from Frank Mysterio

    What is it about monsters that is so appealing?  Is it because the bad guy always seems like he's having a bit more fun?  I it because we each have a little bit of the sinister within us all that these guys appeal to?  Is it because they are creative representations of how harsh the world we live in has become?  I think it's because we're all bored.  We're bombarded with so many things that just aren't interesting that we lose are minds when we see something with so many nuances, so much detail.  That's how I feel about Frank Mysterio's Antichrist 666 figure.  While it has a name that many people would feel uncomfortable with, this is one intense monstrosity.  He's a complex character that is anything but run of the mill.  Right now you can snag one of these dudes for only $60 as part of a lucky bag sale Frank has going on right now.  Head over to http://frankmysterio.bigcartel.com/ and pick yourself up a crazy looking toy on the cheap.  

God of War Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    Kratos is the baddest dude in the history of video games.  He slaughtered every monster that looked at him sideways, became a god, destroyed not only the titans but the entire Greek pantheon and then plunged the entire world into unimaginable chaos.  And he did it all while being forced to wear the ashes of his dead wife and daughter.  Doesn't make that dolphin tattoo you got on your ankle during spring break much of a good story anymore does it?

   Funko has gone and tried to make the former God of War as cute as they could in Pop! Vinyl form.  He's available now to inspire you to greater heights of manliness.  

Legends of Cthulhu Kickstarter Campaign from Warpo

    I'm digging this new trend of making retro style action figures that should have existed.  There's been a few cool ones, there's been lots of crappy ones, and now let me present to you the very best ones.  From the tales of H P Lovecraft come the Legends of Cthulhu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I know you want them all right now, but in order to make that happen you gotta donate to their Kickstarter campaign.  Click this link and pledge all your monies to the elder gods in order to earn their favor when they return to enslave mankind.  Or to just get some cool toys, but not pissing them off couldn't hurt either, right?  

Brought to you by the fine folks at Warpo.

  

Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Ghostbusters With This Octopup from Nathan Hamill x 3DRetro

    Sharon and I just watched Ghostbusters 2 on Netflix the other night and as a result would like to petition Rick Moranis to make more movies.  That dude is seriously funny, and he didn't have to rely on toilet humor like most comedians do these days.  That makes me sound kinda old, but I don't care, because I don't think it takes any talent to be crude.  Now get off my lawn before I call the cops!

    In case you didn't know, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters film.  Do you remember the scene in the library where they irritate the lady ghost while she's reading and she gets all mad and transforms into a hideous creature?  That scared the crap out of me when I was little, so much so that each time I watched the movie I would turn away at that part.  I was also scared of Jaws, my own shadow, dirt, free range monkeys, the Dewey decimal system, and nursing homes to name a few, but that ghost ranked up there.  Lucky for me I outgrew most of those and have become a pillar of manliness that can look that scary lady in the eyes and know that she won't keep me up at night most times.  

    The best way to celebrate any milestone in life is to buy toys, so lucky for you Nathan Hamill and 3DRetro have created an Octopup to mark this occasion.  He looks like he was molded from the same wad of goo that the ever popular Slimer was, and he will be available to haunt your halls beginning this Sunday, June 8th, at noon Pacific time from http://www.3dretro.com/.

   And I'm still serious about Rick Moranis making more films.  Lets get a Kickstarter going to make Spaceballs 2 happen.
