This is a custom Munny doll made by artist Squapper who loves to tussle with Tusken Raiders in the desert.

For the body, I simply sewed clothes by hand, soaked them in water, painted with watercolor to add dirt, messed up the edges and then put them on the Munny and let the dry in place to fit to the shape.

For the bandages, I cut cloth into strips, soaked them and painted them, messed up the edges while wet and then let dry. Fitting them to the head was then simply a matter of using spray glue to make it adhere like tape and wrapping them on…

I’m not into the whole Munny thing, but this one is a beautiful rendition of those Star Wars savages.

Yeah, this is pretty messed up. This is Barbie’s real husband. A balding drunk who craps himself. Ken is just the guy she bangs on the side, cuz she’s a selfish bitch.

I’m surprised his shoes are still white.

Yeah, it’s an outrageously overpriced Star Wars toy, but it’s no toy. It’s a recreation of the X-Wing models Lucas and crew used in Star Wars. It’s just under 2-feet long. Here are some specs:

• Digitally scanned from an original miniature body
• Quality resin construction
• Die-cast and injection-molded structure and details
• Machined aluminum “S” foils that can be displayed closed or in the open attack position.
• Fully detailed and lighted interior cockpit and engines
• Accurately detailed and lighted R2-D2
• Luke Skywalker pilot figure sculpted by Gentle Giant
• Display Stand
• Numbered plaque

It’s going on sale tomorrow if you are wealthy enough to get one.

When you aren’t looking, your toys are having some fun of their own. Doing stuff like re-creating the cover for Abbey Road for instance. Hit the link for a lot more.

Here’s a geek toy from the last Indy movie that won’t win your kid any friends as he controls a giant ant with a Crystal Skull remote. It’s just creepy. He’ll become known as the “Ant kid”. It aint good.

The Cylons were created by man. They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. And they have a plan! These Battlestar Galactica Minimates were also created by man, quite nicely. They paid great attention to detail, even on characters like Doc Cottle, and the variants like the pinstripe suit and test tube tray Gaius Baltar. Nice!

Just because you control it doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. If it looks like a zombie, it needs to be shot. Period. I mean this thing could bite your other RC toys and then we have a bunch of zombie gadgets on our hands.

Just use the brain shaped controller and watch it do it’s slow Zombie thing. Only $19.99.

One of the few perks to being a good looking blog writer, is that sometimes people will send you stuff. Panties, requests for sex, notes from irate husbands, etc. Hasbro sent me this Super Soaker Bottle Shot so I could try it out and let you know what I thought.

The only downside with all water guns is that eventually you have to refill it. The Super Soaker Bottle Shot allows you to screw on a standard plastic bottle instead. In fact it can even accommodate a 2 liter soda bottle allowing you to reuse them as back up liquid ammunition for when you’re in the heat of battle.

I wanted to test this properly so I gathered an accomplice and hit the road. My plan was simple. To see how many wet T-shirts I could outfit women in, in a very short time. My goal was an entire town of women with wet shirts! It was bold but necessary. First, we hit the stores and stocked up on about 200 2-liter bottles of coke. We got some smaller bottles too, just in case.

Then it was go time. We loaded our truckload of 2-liter ammo in a van and we were off. From the drivers seat I cruised around for women, while my back-up gunner had ammo at the ready.

Geeks love the Batman. And when you combine Batman merchandise with the fact that Heath Ledger just died, a morbid kind of collectible is born and dumbasses think that it will go up in value despite the fact that a chinese factory cranked out 85 billion of them.

The Heath Ledger Joker dolls from the Dark Knight movie have completely sold out, according to Toys R Us and are selling on eBay for $17.00+

I find it amusing that people are going to overpay for them now and in less then a year they won’t be worth crap. You know, unless you hold onto it for like 50 years.

When your kid says, “Tell me of this Batman you speak of.”

Alright, I’m a geek. I want one. But I’ll get it next year for cheap.

Ah, to be young again. The simple joys of play. Rocking on my rocking horse for minutes on end…Only to be forced to get off by a kid sized bladder and the need to drain the dragon.

Some brave inventor has said, “Screw that jazz. I piss where I play. Never again will play be cut short.” And so it is that we have…this. The Rocking Horse Toilet.

Designer Perry Dixon claims that the Rocking Horse Toilet provides health benefits because of its unique construction. The “rider” can expel waste more effectively because his knees are elevated thanks to the foot pegs.

I don’t care how he spins it. He wanted an excuse to piss on a toy horse due to his Western/Cowboy/Piss fetish.
