07.28.06 by Widge @ 12:58 am    If you need some delightfully sick plush items to amuse and befuddle friends and relatives, then Toy Vault can hook you up. They recently sent us a box of goodness, so check these out. First up, they have a long line of Monty Python toys. These are the people who brought you the stuffed Killer Rabbit, after all. This time around it's the Black Knight. Just like the comeuppance he received in the Holy Grail, the joy with this toy is that you can just dismember him at will. He also comes with his sword so he can attempt to stop you, but of course it will (more than likely) come to naught. As with all toys associated with Python, the box the toy comes in is almost as much fun to read as the toy itself is to play with. The only trouble with that is people look at you weird when you have empty containers about your place. Categorized as: Toys

07.19.06 by Widge @ 1:31 pm  Neatorama (click the link for the full pic) posted this Japanese toy from the 80s, which apparently worked a lot like an Eight Ball for answering questions, except...um, I don't know the God of Robots answered or...the robot smacked you with his cross...or...okay, we have no idea what this is all about. What few people know, though, is that this was a tie-in to God-Jesus and the Cyberama Seven, in which the second coming was a robot, and the cybertronic savior did battle with various flying killer tortoises and huge insects and resurrected dinosaurs, all of whom were trying to plant fossils in the ground to muck with the heads of scientists and make them think the Earth was older than six thousand years. An animated show, it ran only three episodes and aired only once. But goddamn, it was amazing. No pun intended. Categorized as: Toys

05.08.06 by Widge @ 3:44 pm  Apparently, it pays to be Vader's Fist. TheForce.net made mention of the fact a bit ago that our buddies in the 501st Stormtrooper Legion are getting a San-Diego Comic-Con exclusive action figure. This will be available at the Hasbro booth for $15 at the Con only. And, presumably, on eBay for jacked up prices afterwards.  Categorized as: Headsup and Toys
