For every great cat's roar is a sheep's bleat... or something

Owen Dewitt, the man who is known as Grimsheep, is finally releasing his line of tiger-edition vinyl toys through Happy Panda, just like he’s been promising since 2011. That’s years ago now, so the limited run of 100 toys will surely be gone with a quickness. Each of the Happy Panda tiger-edition vinyl toys measure 6″ tall, comes with […]

Advanced application order; available only in limited countries

Since the new Godzilla film took over multiplexes everywhere this summer, it’s no wonder that the likeness of fire-breathing megalizard is all over the place, like here and here. It was only a matter of time until Medicom released a Bearbrick version upon your desktop, too. Advanced purchase orders are being accepted now for the […]


With their high concept “Pleasures” tshirt, Threadless is perhaps imagining an all-Klingon Joy Division cover band fronted by the one-and-only Worf. Submitted as a concept back in 2012, the shirt — and the album — have yet to be made available. Prove why you have Control, and vote this band of Klingons into the Federation here. Make it […]

Now you can set forth with your band of […]
