If you grew up in the 1980’s you probably wished Steven Spielberg were a family friend. Sure the man helmed such Hollywood classics as Jaws, Indiana Jones, Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, etc, but it was his work crafting unbearably lovable characters in E.T. and Gremlins that made kids go bonkers. Aaah, Gremlins — who […]

I don’t know what it is, but I have a soft spot for toys and dolls doing very bad things. Very very bad things. Whether its Barbie committing bloody kitchen decapitations, action figures attacking naked girls and acting like stalking paparazzi, or just straight-up Barbie Porn, something always strikes a satiric chord when the innocent […]

We’re not gonna lie to you: we love it when people mix children’s toys with evil, lascivious behavior. That Barbie Porn photo project was one of our favorites, and of course we couldn’t turn away when those action figures attacked a very naked Annika Stenvall in Playboy.

Kira Shaimanova‘s art is a unique conflation of sculpture and illustration…or rather, it’s a super stylized sculpture work that when photographed — and thus rendered in 2D — appears as if it were an illustration.

Turns out, it’s both: “The new documentary film, Of Dolls and Murder, explores our collective fascination with forensics […]

The human rights organization Humanade have collaborated with the late-great Malcolm Mclaren’s family to bring us the “CASH FROM CHAOS” Mclaren tribute shirt. The t-shirt is meant to commemorate his performance of “You Need Hands” in The Great Rock ‘N Roll Swindle. Though the formerly contraversial Englishman was best known as the former manager/publicist of the Sex […]

No man need feel inadequate cuddling up with one of these tough guys. Brian “Candykiller” Taylor teamed up with Bigshot Toyworks to create these limited edition Coney Plush figures. The 14″ dolls are screen printed on canvas and without a doubt the most badass stuffed toys to have ever been dreamed up. The Coney Cloud […]

The end is near, and it is coming in the form of a Gangstified Infant Doll. Not only are they aesthetically the most hideous creations I’ve ever seen, but I can’t even imagine the warped social programming they’ll be responsible for. It’s as if DUB magazine puked foam plastic all over an Anne Geddes photoshoot. […]
