Just want to give you an update on our Steve Jobs Anniversary Collectible Figure. When the new small iPad is named iPad mini, we decided to call ours “Steve mini”. Just take a look at the attached photos, and you will understand not only how REAL our “Steve mini” is but also how mini the size compare to the 1:1 scale Steve!
Zombie Tarot Cards
Sehr schicke Zombie Tarot-Karten von Quirk Books (das waren die mit Pride and Prejudice and Zombies und dem ganzen Quatsch). Gestaltet wurden die Dinger von The Die Line (wie passend) und dort gibt’s auch ein schönes Preview der Karten.
Quirk Books asked us to develop a zombie-themed tarot card deck. Rather than take a more typical overly-bloody horror approach, we conceptualized the project as a crazy, campy, late 50′s/early 60′s retro interpretation of a classic tarot deck. As B-Movie fanatics, we wanted to capture the off-beat zaniness those old movies have. We tried to bring a touch of wit and subtlety to the project, as well as a morbid sense of humor.
Included in the package is a 78 card deck and a 96 page instruction book. Every card is illustrated, and the book explains the meaning behind each card, as well as providing various card layouts and how to interpret them. We developed the card image concepts, designed the package and booklet, and painstakingly illustrated all 78 cards by collaging together thousands of small pieces of vintage materials to create the imagery.

Hacked Farm-Toy plays Simon Says:
Old MacDonald Hacked A Farm: „My kids have a plastic farm toy. It moos, it oinks, it neighs, it baas, and frankly, it grates. But since I tricked it out with a microcontroller brain, at least it can play Simon.“

Oh yeah, why not. Let’s start the week like this. (Ist ein Furby-Themesong einer japanischen Girlgroup namens Momoiro Clover Z, nur nennt man Girlgroups heute in Japan „Japanese female idol group“ und… egal. Da! Bunt und durchgeknallt und Hüpf!)
Portal 2 Miniature Replica Gun
SHUT UP and take my money!
You hopped through the wrong portal, friend. Suddenly, you’re the size of a Companion Cube! The good news? You’re shorter than the turrets! No more worries about being riddled with (whole) bullets. The bad news? You’ll have to get even more creative with your Handheld Portal Device because you can’t jump quite as far with your tiny legs. At least your Handheld Portal Device sized itself down with you!
AT-AT Bookends and Gonk, the giant Power Droid
Vor ein paar Jahren gabs mal die Müllpresse aus Star Wars als Buchstützen, was ziemlich tollen Sinn ergab. Danach gabs ein paar halbherzige Versuche mit u.a. Jabbas Palast und nächstes Jahr latschen dann AT-ATs durchs Bücherregal. Ob ich 200$ dafür ausgeben werde ist mehr als fraglich, aber toll sind die trotzdem. Auch neu: Meine erste Star Wars-Actionfigur, Gonk Droid, in einer „riesigen“ 20 Zentimeter-Version, gescannt von den Original Kennerfiguren aus den 70ern. Da werde ich wohl zuschlagen müssen.
Just like they were when you were a kid, only BIGGER! Gentle Giant continues on with their new line of vintage Star Wars Action figure reproductions with the release of this classic Power Droid!!
Digitally scanned from mint 3 3/4” Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 7 1/2” tall. Nothing has been overlooked. Roto and injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure is fully articulated with “clicking” leg movement faithfully reproduced to be just like the original.

Walking Dead Army Men
Plastikzombies von Gentle Giant! Kann man natürlich auch mit den klassischen Plastiksoldaten verwenden, aber die Kombination mit diesen Plastikbreakdancern fände ich irgendwie besser.
It’s a trip down memory lane… but with zombies! No longer constrained to the traditional green vs. tan, now kids and kids-at-heart alike can have their armies take on The Walking Dead! Use your green troops strategically to defend the last outposts of humanity, or take control of a horde of Walkers and decimate everything in your path in your never-ending lust to devour the living! With 10 figures per bag, featuring an assortment of different dynamic sculpts in two nightmarish colors, The Walking Dead Zombie Army Men are ready to rip, tear and chew their way into your toy collection.
Beard of Bees zum Aufblasen
Unheimlich praktisch, kann man immer mal gebrauchen: Ein aufblasbarer Bienenbart für Siebenfuffzich von Archie McPhee.
When a beekeeper wants to impress the ladies, he puts a queen bee in a small cage under his chin and waits for the other bees to swarm and form a “beard” on his face and body. That sounds like a lot of bother when you could get the same effect with just a couple of puffs of air. This inflatable, vinyl Beard of Bees is 10″ long with elastic hoops that go around your ears. Best of all, there is no chance of getting stung! If you want to say “bee mine” to your honey, just wear this Inflatable Beard of Bees and you’ll be all the buzz. The perfect gift for the apiarist.

Emokiwear: Braincontrolled Cat-Ears for humans, again.
Da Neurowear und ihre hirngesteuerten Katzenohren und -schwänze auf dem amerikanischen und europäischen Markt wohl nicht zu Potte kommen, lassen sich Emokiwear jetzt auf Kickstarter finanzieren und bringen so ziemlich genau das gleiche Produkt raus. Außerdem kommen die Dinger in auswechselbaren Formen und Farben. Ist zwar ein ziemlicher Ripoff, geht aber trotzdem klar für so albernen, tollen Quatsch.
Emoki ears are designed to get attention, to draw people to come and speak with you, to initiate conversations and ignite new friendships. They’re unbelievably fun, and you’ll laugh with your friends as your ears react to your mood.
Whether you want to look sexy & bad-ass with the party-flavored ears, or cute, cuddly, & fun with the cartoonish-realistic ears, wearing Emoki can enhance your time at all sorts of social gatherings. If you go to music festivals, anime conventions, cosplay events, or Burning Man; if you want to represent your home team with custom mascot ears, you’ll be equipped for an epic adventure.

Und wo wir grade bei Lego sind: Heute wurden Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-Sets angekündigt. Ich war noch nie großer Turtles-Fan, aber die haben das auf der New York ComicCon mit dem wahrscheinlich ersten offiziellen Lego-Pizza-Set promotet und wenn ich von irgendwas Fan bin, dann ist es Pizza. LEGO-PIZZA FTW! Eat this:

Giant Robot Fists zum Aufblasen
Auf ThinkGeek für 35 Dollar: Riesenroboterfäuste zum Aufblasen und Rumkloppen. WANT!
A bustling metropolis in the heart of Japan is a place vulnerable to Mother Nature’s cruel sense of humor. Having recently birthed humanity, she continues to play pranks on the creatures that scurry around her surface in their attempts to survive. Humanity has their own problems, what with Dr. Eve Ell, Ph.D. consistently terrorizing the city with her mutant monsters and flying robot pandas. It’s all a bit sickening.
This city needs me, Giant-Mecha-Mega-Monster-Super-Funtime Dude, and I’m here to save them in any way I can. I’d be just another career man if it wasn’t for my father’s secret lab, which he gifted to me on his deathbed. Inside, I found the tool to save this city: the Giant-Mecha-Mega-Monster-Super-Funtime Robot Gloves.
Breaking Bad Custom Actionfigures
Tolle Custom Heisenberg-Actionfigures von Trevor Grove, die er im März an die Macher der Show verschenkte: „Last year I sculpted up a few portraits of Bryan Cranston as Walter White from my favorite show “Breaking Bad”. I was finally able to put the finishing touches on 3 custom figures of Walt, all of which were given to the creators of the show this past week.“
