Our friends at Gotham City Art are selling another big batch of comics and toy-related items on eBay, including 41 of the original dossier scripts for G.I. Joe action figures. These are the original type-written scripts by Larry Hama that showed up on the back of the action figure packages. Considering most of them are […]

A Slave to my Passions since 1989, I, “Mad” Randy Flann, have enjoyed developing nearly two hundred “concepts of convenience” which I call RoFo Headgear. Many of these have been featured across the globe in the hippest magazines…
Stay class Mad Randy Flann. Oh and invest some money into a web designer. Your […]

Because the “Sticky/Stickly Bomb” had a tendency to occasionally stick to its thrower instead a target, Capt. R.S. Gammon, a British paratrooper, invented an updated model towards the end of World War II that bore his name:
The basic design was to use a fuze, already available in the 69 Grenade, which was then inserted into […]

Unless you’re an actual DJ, there’s probably no way you can pull off this Stamps Disco watch. Turntables are only cool if you use them.
But if you’re not a poseur hipster or a talentless hip-hop hack, by all means, get thee to an Urban Outfitters—they probably didn’t rip this design off from anyone—and get to […]

For months we’ve been trying to figure out how to add cheesecake to Dethroner without taking the low and easy road (not that there’s a god damn thing wrong with giving some eye-service to some women solely on the merit of their curves. [Could we call that “Bezier Mucho?”]) The strongest idea we’ve had so […]

No Startch Press is getting ready to release another LEGO book, this time full of models and contraptions that might be a little on the fun dangerous side. Called “Forbidden LEGO,” it’s most intriguing because of its authors: Ulrik Pilegaard and Mike Dooley, both of whom worked at LEGO on the Mindstorms project. (Original, not […]

Apparently pilot Alan Szabo is something of a name in the R/C helicopter world. All I know is that he makes this overpowered chopper do things that no full-sized chopper could ever think about doing, with manic flips and near-ground reversals.
I couldn’t help but watch this video and wonder when military drones will be […]
