Star Trek Flash Drives from Mimobot




    I could make the obvious joke about how you can now store your data in Data and wait while the Earth collapses under the weight of hearty nerd laughter, but I won't.  Instead I will skip said hilarious observation to tell you about theses Star Trek flash drives made by Mimobot.  There's Captain's Kirk and Picard, Spock, and the aforementioned Data.  If you put text files on the Spock Mimobot and there are misspellings do you think he corrects them for you?  He seems like the type to do that.

     Of course Mimobots always come preloaded with awesome content, like avatars and wallpapers and plans to build your own full-size Enterprise (that may or may not be true).  Go and get 'em.

One Black Friday Post to Rule Them All



    There's a lot of releases for black Friday that don't involve standing in line at Best Buy for hours just to have some housewife punch you in the face for the last plasma tv.  You can stay at home, where it's warm and hopefully less violent, and shop from the comfort of your computer.  Here's the rundown.  Take notes.

    Frank Kozik will be unleashing his Smoke version of Kim Jong Il in resin.  These little jerks will run you $35 each and only 30 of them exist.  Be quick with your computer, cause these will go fast as he routinely breaks the Guinness World Record for fastest internet toy sales.  At least he would if they kept track of that sort of thing and stopped messing around with the length of people's fingernails.




    MAD is well versed in the resin game himself and will be releasing 13 of his handmade Modern Hero figures in all black.  They even come lovingly packaged in a wooden display case that has been etched with lasers!  I don't have any lasers at home because my wife doesn't trust me with such things and figures I will try to build a Death Star.  These will cost $300.




    I'm gonna go ahead and warm you.  If you buy this necklace you will grow a beard, learn black magic, and probably just get yourself into some general all-around shenanigans.  That being said, YOU REALLY NEED TO BUY THIS.  This Lurker necklace from Skinner is the perfect accessory to any mugshot/photo with the mall Santa.  They'll be on super sale for only $35 each.



    I'll admit it, I'm a video game nerd.  I have spent countless hours of my life living vicariously through pixelated characters doing things I never could in real life.  Well, some of it I could I suppose, but I don't think I'd have a great time dealing with the consequences.  That's where people like Nathan Drake come in.  He has been captured here in all his plastic glory by Erick Scarecrow.  Only 4 of these exist in this great big world and if you buy one you're entered to win a special all white version that was never made for sale.   

      He'll also have 15 pieces of the Marina figure you see below.  





    Offering yet more proof that vegetables are bad for you, I present you this Black Root Beat from Scott Tolleson.  Does this thing not look like it would wreck your digestive system for years to come?  Only 10 of these angry looking suckers were created and they will be $120.  Get one in his webstore.

Junko Mizuno x Kidrobot Black



    If one were to build an altar to all things plastic, this figure would not suck as the center piece.  Kidrobot Black and Junko Mizuno have gotten together to make this insane toy.  It's called Kuro Megami which loosely translates to "big hunk of expensive plastic."  Standing (or sitting I suppose) at 11 inches tall, only 200 of theses were produced and will run you $400 a pop.  Let me know if you get one so I can rob you.  Just kidding, I meant so I can offer to do lawn work.

Argonaut Resins Monster Magnets Series 2




    You know what makes me mad?  How much your fridge sucks.  Got ahead, go and look at it and be sad.  You're putting your kid's good report card up there with magnets from the Chinese food place down the street.  It's a sad way to show off their academic achievements.  Get some cool magnets from Argonaut Resins and put their weird stick figure portraits of you up there in style!

    This is series 2 of their popular Monster Magnets and they're ready to add some flare to your fridge.  For $40 you get a set of 6 that you can paint or leave just as they are.  If you have a bit of extra cash and no artistic ability, you can get this artist series painted by Adam Pratt for $99.

Frank Kozik x Mike Egan New Bones Figures Release Today



    Well, I was planning to go and get my haircut today, but then Frank Kozik decides he wants to drop all these amazing releases and now I'm scared to leave the house for fear I might miss them and tumble down a spiral of depression.  But my hair is getting to "homeless" stage so I may just have to forget about heading to my friend in Philadelphia and find a more local option who can ensure that I won't spend all day reading back issues of People magazine and chit chatting about nonsense.  You know life isn't all that bad when this is all you really get stressed out about.

    Kozik is unleashing more of his disturbing, hand painted versions of Mike Egan's Bones figures.  You could pick up the snazzy red Hanta Virus edition, or cool things down with the blue Hypothermia version.  Or buy one of each cause you don't have to choose, this is America after all.  We invented hoarding and snack cakes in 17 different flavors so we don't have to "make decisions" we can just "get them all and eat our way into diabetes and not throw away the wrappers so our houses are filled with 4 foot walls of garbage that may collapse and crush us one day."  So basically, if you don't get one of each you're a sissy communist.  

    These will be released at noon Pacific time today at www.frankkozik.net
