Action figures they haven’t made yet but should

It seems like every character has an action figure these days, but there’s a few that I would snatch up in a second if only someone would make them. Preferably I would like these to be well sculpted 6″ figures from a company like Diamond Select, NECA or Mezco (and not some crappy 3 1/2″ version from Hasbro), but since no one has done them yet, I’ll just have to dream till ..read more

Ok, first thinkgeek has young mad scientist blocks to train our youth in maniacal laughter, then my sister sends me this from Warby Parker prescription eyewear – why that’s right, prescription monocles!

Anyone else have any signs of these sinister times?  And if they don’t make me laugh maniacally they don’t count! ..read more

A Geeky April Fools’ Day to You!

As someone who was perpetually lied to as a child by my Dad (yeah, that pirate in Swiss Family Robinson not really my uncle like I was told when I was six), I love April Fools’ Day.  There was that time I put Kool-Aid on my college roommate’s dark blue towels and she spent the whole day with splotchy red skin.  Or when my sisters and I made “Chocolate Delights” by catching giant ants from the tree in the backyard, dipping them chocolate and serving them to our Mom.  Wait, that wasn’t April Fools’ Day, that was just a Sunday afternoon when I was 11.  My point is that I ..read more

Angus MacLane’s Cube Dudes

I honestly can’t remember if I already wrote a post about this or not when I discovered it a few months back. I’m too lazy to look it up. For those that don’t know who Angus MacLane is, he’s been working at Pixar as an animator and storyboard artist on just about every Pixar movie since “A Bug’s Life.” He also got to direct the hilarious short “Burn-E” that appears on the “Wall-E” DVD. Also, he’s a Lego maniac. For the past several months, he’s been creating what he calls “Cube Dudes” in his spare time. They’re popular culture characters and people minimized using small lego bricks without being super ..read more

New iWeapons Guns Pro App

Keeping with the App theme, my brother’s latest iPhone app was just released on iTunes.  It’s called iWeapons Guns Pro  and is pretty kickin’.  It’s got four different weapons to choose from, including a flame thrower, which makes me happy.

On an unrelated note I totally had a dream last week where a Terminator was after me but luckily I had a shotgun app on my phone; not an animated app but an actual shotgun.  Of course I kept on forgetting to check the safety (the vibrate/ring switch of course).

I’ve got three coupon codes if anyone wants to check it out.  Just leave a comment telling me which weapon would destroy terminators most efficiently ..read more

Superhero Kit for Nephews and Nieces

My fabulous sisters have out done themselves again when it comes to Christmas time/Nerdy Present time.  What to give the offspring that has everything?  Why, business cards of course – superhero business cards, and badges, and the bane of every superhero – paperwork.

The best part of the evening was when my youngest nephew – who’s name starts with an “S” protested that his name was spelled wrong on his manila envelope, an envelope that read “Top Secret.”  Ah, to laugh at youth.

My sister Apryl has templates of all the paperwork for the Superhero Kit on her blog.  It’s a good read (my favorite line item -  “communications with sea ..read more

I’m pretty sure I’d buy this in an adult size.  Frak, I’m even willing to hop on the kiddy version and race any of you geeks that are up to the challenge.  Now, how to convince one of my sisters to buy this for their ..read more

Action figures of my youth

Somewhere in my parents attic lies a couple of boxes filled with all of my toys when I was a kid. Well, the ones they didn’t sell in the garage sells across the many years since I was a kid.

Well that is what they say anyways.

I am pretty sure that really means like my old rocking horse, stick pony and teddy bear of my youth. And it was all save to go to my son.

So I actually have no clue on whether or not they may have my trove of Transformers or GI Joes (the ones I didn’t melt). If they do, bonus for me and my son. If not ..read more
