"Pink Cadillacs are so 90s," said one unnamed source. "It's getting so you can't throw an eyeliner without hitting a pink something or other with four wheels. But when you're driving one of these, baby--people know you're to be taken seriously." Categorized as: Toys

What's nuts is that there's characters that I don't even recognize--and I used to study my copies of Who's Who and Marvel Universe. Isn't that sad? (Note: rhetorical.) Categorized as: Toys

01.28.08 by Widge @ 10:57 pm Mark Evanier posted this a while back, and I have to wonder as well: is this real? Did this ever happen? I mean...a game where the whole game consists of playing whipped cream roulette with a safety plastic visor on? Really? Was this originally designed for kids who were allergic to whipped cream and yet wanted to be smacked in the face with a pie...? Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: Toys

01.26.08 by Widge @ 6:46 pm  This is unbelievably cool. And like most things truly geekgasmic, it's beyond the expense account of most of us. So I highly recommend going to the B9 Creations website and drooling to your heart's content: but the gist is this. For the low, low price of $24.5K, you too can own your own Lost in Space robot. Look at the army of them. Now, blah blah blah, I know, whoopee, it looks like the robot. But no. The list of features is impressive. It's got a sound system. It's got vocal samples recorded by Richard Tufeld, who voiced the original. It's animated. It's motorized. And if that wasn't enough, you can make you friends crap their pants with this: A 5 button key chain remote control allow you to discretely activate the Robot. Functions include turning the Robot's torso left/right, directing the Robot's voice to respond "Affirmative/Negative", activating the Robot's soil sampling sequence. "I'll just hang my coat on this robot in your foyer and--GAHHHH!!!! WTF??!???" You know you'd buy it just to do that to one of your friends. And, more to the point, you've already picked out the most likely target among your crew. I know how you maniacs work. Because I'm one of you. Categorized as: Toys

01.24.08 by ScottC @ 5:12 pm  So you or someone you know has spawned. Now you have this blank slate absorbing every bit of information it can take in. You could help to make sure that the baby grows up to be a nice normal citizen. But that's so fucking boring! You can teach the rug rat bad words or get him that important first porn movie but those are givens. You want more from this child. Now my friends Ed and Sharon have taught their toddler Joseph a pretty good evil genius laugh. Unlike a regular politician, you can't be a criminal mastermind on style alone. Young Joseph will need a good foundation in Science! How else is he going to build those death-ray cannons and weather control machines? And what better way for a young mind to graph the basics of nuclear physics than with plush subatomic particles? The Particle Zoo has a whole range of happy little quanta from the light bringing Photon to the so-called 'God particle', the Higg's Boson. Not only does each particle come with a description tag, they have different fillings according to the particle's theoretical weight. So Joseph will know the difference between a Muon and a Tau particle for when he constructs his Atomic Robot Army of Doom! Categorized as: Toys
