11.02.07 by Widge @ 8:13 pm  FAO Schwarz has apparently taken Brian Froud's Goblins (from his book) and turned them into plush toys. There's the Kitchen Cerench Goblin, the Bimble Goblin, and the Mohawk Goblin (aka Scheer), who apparently is... Accompanied at all times by the smell of burning plastic, Scheer disgures and shaves the heads of children's most expensive dolls. If caught in the act, he will lie, assuring the worried child that all the hair will grow back. It never, ever does. I think I know some people who had a run-in with Scheer, although I could have sworn it was the Family Circus' "Not Me." Anyway, these are exclusively available from FAO (and for $25 - $45, aren't a bad deal). You can find them here. Categorized as: Toys

10.28.07 by Widge @ 9:32 am Okay, you might think that chimeras, in the genetic splicing sense, are terrifying and an affront to God and man. But here we truly have a situation where science has Gone Too Far: somebody has mashed up Elmo with a RoboSapien, spawning the beast from hell: ElmoSapien. Seriously, all he needs is a rocket launcher and he's a Doom big boss waiting to happen. WTF were these people thinking? Truly, this could be the birth of Skynet. Make peace with your gods.

Mats Gullikstad in Norway used those blueprints and built a full-on model of the vault. A slew of photos are available now on Flickr. Pretty cool. Found at Disney Blog by ScottC. Categorized as: Toys

09.30.07 by Widge @ 12:50 pm  So at DragonCon this year, the big costume thing was Marvel Zombies. And whoever you guys were running around as Marvel Zombies: guys, bravo. Every single one I ran across was pretty damn badass. (I hereby remind everybody that I want to see Harry Potter Zombies next year. I'm fucking serious. Get on it right now.) And apparently zombies are it (and of course) because now we've got custom made Marvel Zombies action figures. And they are pretty damn badass too. I mean these things look nasty. Check out Zombie Thor there. Just badass. Make sure you go look at all of them. Okay, here's another free idea. And you can take this to both big companies, because I think this should be the next big company crossover: Marvel Zombies vs. the DCU. Or, you know, some alternate version of the DCU--whatever, they confuse the shit out of me these days. But think of the glorious chaos. There's your Final Crisis right there, jokers. Get on that too, would you? Categorized as: Toys
