My God, Those Arms: Scary Realistic Popeye Figurine.

 

This is a limited edition (of 500) "realistic" looking 12-inch Popeye figure designed by Head Toys and available for pre-order for $300 (that's a lot of spinach). Those arms, my God. Popeye must also have an equally impressive penis, because otherwise there's no way he wouldn't have already ripped it off and thrown it into outerspace by accident. And yes, that's my professional medical opinion (one of my New Year's resolutions is to pretend I'm a doctor more often).

First Look At An Official Jurassic World LEGO Set

This is the first peek at one of the official Jurassic World LEGO sets coming out. I like the little mosquito in amber piece, that was a nice touch. As you can probably imagine, I will own this set. I will own it so hard. Plus jam a handful of those velociraptors up my keister.

 

Hello I'm Back!!!

Alexis Sanchez grabbed a third just before half-time after latching onto Mesut Ozil's through-ball, and Welbeck completed his treble with another deft finish early in the second half.

Fully Customized Movie-Accurate TMNT Action Figures

These are the TMNT movie-based action figures (links to eBay auction) that were fully customized and painted by John Harmon of Mint Condition Customs (of these other painted Ninja Turtle action figures fame) to look way less shitty than they originally come. Unsurprisingly, John did a great job as usual and polished these turds so fine you could probably see your reflection in them (before and after shots below).

So, how many of you went to see the new TMNT movie this weekend? How was it? I thought about going then decided against it. Just kidding, I had to spend the whole weekend in jail and didn't have a choice choice. I did make some new friends though. "You mean lovers?" Yes :( 

Keep going for a bunch of closeups and the before and after shots.
