Chic, IL You can't make this stuff up

Since this is the time of year to buy crap and give it to other people, I thought I would share some of the things I have found that would make good gifts. And possibly make small children cry.

Sentinel figure - Waking up in the middle of the night and having a Darth Vader cut-out looming over me is bad enough. I can't imagine seeing this thing sitting on the nightstand as well.

Octodog - Just don't tell them what it's really made of.

Sexxy-Legs Turkey Decoy - No, this was not a Google search gone wrong. It is, however, still disturbing.

And of course, I always highly recommend anything you can find at Archie McPhee, my favorites being the Punching Nun and the Pig Catapult.

UPDATE: - OK, I can't get the turkey decoy link to work, you'll have to Copy/Paste.

 

i hear that sentinel figure is one of the best action figures ever made actually.

 

Never fear, Ben Franklin is here!!

For some reason, he's under action figures??

 

Goat - Inredibly well-made. Gorgeous, even, if the pictures are any indication. Just not the first thing you want to wake up to at 2:17 AM and have back-lit by lightning.

Actually, I was more interested in that Mifune APU (nice nod to Toshiro). Now my proposed Matrix/Terminator cross-over story has a MechWarrior element!

 

They have APU action figures? Sweet. Any pics?


BTW, that Sentinel is one slick looking toy.

 

look on spawn.com and you'll see the A.P.U.

search for simpsons action figures and you'll find Apu.

the A.P.U. is killer i hear.

 

EDIT: nevermind

 

If you follow the link I posted for the Sentinel figure, the top is a list of pictures of the Sentinel, but below that you'll see links for Agent Smith, Morpheus, Neo, Neo-Realworld, Niobe, Trinity, and Mifune APU. The .MOV links are a cool 360-degree, rotatable view.

Now that I look at them, the Trinity figure is pretty cool, too.

The sentinel figure is 27 inches long!? With bendable, articulated tentacles? It may sound cliché, but "whoa!".

 

All I want for Christmas is "Octodog"....
