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 […]

James Jarvis vinyl toy gets transformed into pillow form
James Jarvis’ classic soft vinyl toy now gets transformed… into pillow form. King Ken, the noble creation of Amos, likes rambling and wrestling, which is good for you cos this King Ken head is a 40cm x 35cm cushion. Only 400 will be made under license of Säck und Nolde. Go apesh*t for under $50.

A cup of cocoa's worst enemy
Honestly, if there’s not a campfire nearby I truly can’t see any other use for a marshmallow than projectile launching a slew of them into my enemies. I mean, on the ranking system of awesome delectables they kind of suck, with a flavor hovering just above lime-green hard candy and right beneath stale Pez. All […]

Incoqnito's Intimate Jewelry Collection
At first glance, I immediately wanted the Incoqnito necktie. I’ve always thought the androgynous look was sharp, sophisticated, and sexy. I guess I never realized how sexy it was, because the Incoqnito necktie is part of Incoqnito’s stylish new line of jewelry /sex toys. Good thing I didn’t put that on my Christmas wish list — moms wouldn’t have […]
The crew over at Coarse put out some amazing pieces of vinyl toys, including their Jaws Loser, False Friends and Blackout figures which we’ve covered before. Now they take their classic PAW! character and make him into a bust — which isn’t quite as imaginative as some of their earlier pieces. Hand made of high […]
