Let me introduce you to Kidrobot, "planet Earth's premier creator & retailer of limited edition toys, clothing, mini-figures, artwork & books." Here you will find many interesting designer toys, including the incredible "Pac Gentleman", created by Doktor A from Erik Scarecrow's customizable Soopa Coin Op Bros vinyl. Designer toys are a new and exciting art form that has been gaining momentum all over the world.
This time the toys are bad in a dangerous way. Radar Online has an article that looks back fondly on the 10 most dangerous toys of our modern times. Although I do remember having Jarts, I'm afraid I never had anything as cool as an Atomic Energy Lab! That's the sort of thing one could get into all kinds of trouble with!
Monster Blog has nice scans of Jack Kirby monster comics that have never been reprinted. Kirby's superhero stuff has pretty much been reprinted and available throughout the years, but so many of Kirby's delightful monster stories have not been available since they first saw print. Check it out for a first class comic book geek out!
For those of you that enjoyed the movie last night, here's the official page of Mike Jittlov, the Wizard of Speed and Time. If you have not seen this movie yet, hunt it down on eBay or BitTorrent and enjoy it because it's not available on DVD. If you entertain even the slightest fancies of working in Hollywood, I recommend it highly. It's a fantastic low budget film that speaks volumes about the dreamer and the Magic Factory, including the ugly side of the business. But it never loses it's wacky charm and glimmer of hope. Sappy for sure, but inspiring and very clever. The stories behind the making of this film are as interesting as the film itself, which is a film about making a film. It's a mind blowing morsel of truth wrapped in a sugar coated explosion of movie magic and sparkles.
