  • DC Infinite Heroes Action Figures

    In case you were wondering what I was talking about in my last post, I am speaking of the new line of DC toys from Mattel the DC Infinite Heroes. This a new scale for The DC guys standing a mere 3.75 inches tall (same scale as Star Wars and Indian Jones). According to my…

  • Toy Shopping Fun

    I like going into a toy store and finding new action figures in their aisles. In the last few months action figures seem to have taken a turn toward playability again. Hasbro has release 3.75″ Indy figures. The same scale as the Star Wars figures. Now Mattel has released DC characters in the same scale.…

  • My Head Is Going To Explode

    My head is killing me. I have had a headache for the last three weeks. But today actually feels more like a migraine than a normal old headache. I bought a new pillow today to see if that is some of the problem. The pain starts at the base of my skull and wraps around…

  • Picking Up Halloween Stuff

    I stopped by Michael’s today to pick up some stuff for my yet unannounced project and I saw they have most of their Halloween stuff out already. Loads of new haunted houses from Lemax. These are similar to The Dept. 56 houses just not as good or as expensive. We have been collecting these for…

  • Star Wars Toys Hit Shelves Today

    The new Star Wars figures hit stores today the wave includes figures from past movies as well as the upcoming Clone Wars CGI animated feature. About half of the Clone Wars figures had a first day of release sticker on the front, which will have collectors running around trying to find them. There are also…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Laser Keyboard

    Now here is a bit of technology any sci-fi geek would think stepped off the screen of the latest Terminator movie, (you do know Christian (Batman) Bale has signed to do 3 Terminator movies don’t you?) This cool device shines a red laser keyboard on any flat surface. As they say over at ThinkGeek.com, the…

  • Halloween For Only A Buck

    The Dollar Tree has their Halloween stuff starting to hit the shelves; I just got a couple of gargoyles and tabletop tombstones. Not bad for only a buck apiece. They are made of some type of ceramic or plaster so you have to watch out for chips. The gargoyles will be out all the time.…

  • DIY Skeletons Chairs

    I’m currently on the look out for one or two free straight back chairs for yet another project I want to try, I saw this DIY Halloween project posted over at Halloweenhotlist.blogspot.com and I want some. So first step is to find the chairs, which could take a while. So until the chairs are in…

  • Way Cool Creepy Papier Mache Halloween Props

    There’s this guy that is doing amazing Halloween displays. His main medium is papier mache. I stumbled across his site the other day, Stolloween.com, This guy’s work is amazing. I wish I had half his talent. If I did, I would be armpit deep in papier mache right now. Once I get a few things…

  • I Want It Wednesday: OLED Keyboard

    I think this could be considered the world’s most expensive keyboard probably only surpassed by keyboards on the space shuttle (or others purchased by the US government as they tend to over pay). Each key has its own OLED screen so you can customize it to your hearts content and at 1500 bucks it should…

  • Autumn Is Already Here

    It is only July and we are already getting back-to-school and Halloween being shoved down our little retail throats. Halloween I don’t mind, school I could live without (and I don’t even take classes any more – it is just that to me back-to-school means the beginning of the end). The only thing good about…

  • Blobfest Starts Today

    It is the 50th anniversary of the film THE BLOB. Filmed in Chester County way back in 1958 and starring Steve McQueen. Each year the Colonial Theater (this would be the theater in the famous scene where everyone is running out escaping the BLOB) has a BLOBfest to celebrate their fifteen minutes of fame and…
