Dark Horse and Tim Burton Dolls
June 30, 2008
If you ever got to read Tim Burton’s The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: and Other Stories you’re in for a treat. Over at Things from Another World you can now grab yourself those nostalgic figures from your favorite bedtime stories. Of course me-mother didn’t take interest into what I would have considered the elite bedtime story but I can still curl up with a book in one hand and now thanks to Dark Horse a doll in the other. If your preference is more towards the Hideous Penguin Boy or Toxic Boy then the good word is they also have them for sale. My personal favorite is Stain Boy which they also have as a doll and also in sticker form. [Link]
As an added bonus I also have a Tim Burton speed painting from Nico Di Mattia at speed-painting.com.
Grossly Cute
June 28, 2008
Whenever I am confronted with something grossly cute I feel like I have stepped through the looking glass into some kind of bizarre spectrum of reality. So being the lonely chap I am and surfing through endless bento boxes and owning none I came across this startling product. What better way to serve out a load of disgusting cuteness then punching out seaweed and deploying cuteness all over everyone so they can eat it up? This little toy gets a 8/10 on the juicy scale and if I ever manage to get my hands on one you can bet your boots I will abuse the right of owning it. [Link]
