I found some freakin’ great toys recently, and I have no idea what they are. They look like B-List wrestling stars. I’m not much into wrestling toys (or wrestling in general), but these guys make me wanna give them a chance. The characters are so absurd, I’d love to see them in the WWE ring. […]
Hello again. Sorry I haven’t had a new toy up in a while. I was away on vacation, and now I’ve finally gotten around to bringing you more weirdo toy goodness. Speaking of weird, here’s a little something i recently ordered from Japan. It actually arrived a couple of weeks back, but I’m just now […]
Web and Industrial Designer, Matt Kirkland, has a website featuring various personal and professional projects. The projects include his web work, sketches and stuff like that.

(Click to enlarge) The guy looks to be a monster greaser or something, but he’s not quite the Hell’s Angels motorcycle-riding stereotype. Take a good look at his pompadour hairstyle, orange leather jumpsuit, blue gloves, blue elf boots and […]
Ever wonder what the offspring of a Troll and the Wolfman would look like? (Sure, we all have.) Well, ever wonder what that offspring would look like dressed as Little Red Riding Hood? (Really?
