Who the heck is "Robert" anyways????

I just got this glorious thing in the mail the other day. Figured you might like to have a looksie at it.





Yes, it says "Knight Rider Becames Robert."
Yes, it is a horribly colored bootleg GoBots Zee-Mon figure.
Yes, it is awesome.

Who the heck is "Robert" anyways???? God, I love bootleg toys!

Porkilypine!!!

I'm catching up on a lot of videos and junk I don't normally get to see at home... and I think everyone and his brother needs to see this. It's George Gaspar's amazing beard in action. George and his wife Ayleen, for those who may not know, runs a toy company called October Toys, makers of the fantabulous Gwins and the Z.O.M.B.I.E. line of figures. For well over a year (maybe it's two now... I'm not sure... I'm sure George can clear it up) George grew a beard that rivals the mane of the great northern yeti. He posted a video on Youtube showing the insertion of 2,222 toothpicks into his epic facial hair. Check it out!



You should check out all of George and Ayleen's great videos... they are such fun, funny, and all around nice people. While You're at it, hop on over to the October Toys Forum and join us all for all kinds of toy-loving shenanigans!

I'm sorry...

... but it just doesn't get any better than this:



Bask in the glory of this... thing...

PUDDING PUDDING PUDDING PUDDING!!!!

Yet another reason why Japan is the greatest place on the face of the earth:



I have never wanted pudding so much in my life.

Not really.

Stuff and something unexpected

Someone asked me why I haven't put any updates up with artwork... well... a few things I'm working on are top-secret kinda things, so it wouldn't be fair to show them until the people who commissioned them wanted them revealed. Just be patient, and there will be a payoff.

In the meantime, here's something I found yesterday, and it has made my day. Someone leaked a chunk of the new Transformers movie with the character that I was full-well set to hate from the pics of his character design alone-- Wheelie. Sigh... Wheelie. Ugh. Then I saw a leaked bit with german dubbing (I'll have to admit... this character works MUCH better with a saucy German accent, but this is ok too). The attitude of the character REALLY sold him for me. Wheelie was always a survivalist, and making this tiny, scrappy, bombastic, overcompensating jackass REALLY works here for me. WARNING: He says some spicy things here, so parental guidance is suggested:



If the voice sounds familiar, it should. It's Tom Kenny. Yes... THAT Tom Kenny. The voice of Spongebob Squarepants. This has, to say the least, made my day.

Now I want a toy of him.
