These are truly urban collectibles. Featured above is the “Petrol Bombed Jeep.”
What says urban better than a burned out car. The graffiti backgrounds really add a touch of realism. You can almost smell the molten metal. It sort of reminds me of when I lived in Detroit. I haven’t lived there for over 15 years but I can only imagine that it hasn’t gotten any better.
See the rest here at Chinnychinchin There are five cars total in the set.
I received this limited edition “Gingerman Dunny” from my wife for Christmas. It’s my favorite Dunny from Kid Robot.

This is arguably the best political product of the year!
I can see this sitting handsomely at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Sure, Grandpa, I would love another helping of cranberry sauce. Oh, and can you pass Hillary too. I have a couple of nuts over here that need cracking.
It’s easy to use:
Step 1: Put nut between legs
Step 2: Squeeze
You too can own this wonderful nutcracker. Just head over to Overstock.com. In the link, Head over to bradsdeals.com for extra savings.
Happy nut cracking!
I have a running obsession with vinyl toys. Kidrobot is the best site hands down when it comes to vinyl. (According to me of course) In my office, I have a ton of these silly, goofy, creepy, toys. Why? Good question. I ask myself that quite often.
The other day the CFO, from my company, came into my office and asked “What’s the significance of all those toys”. I didn’t have an answer at first. Then it dawned on me. I asked Phil, the CFO, why he collected baseball cards. I guess the answer is the same – because we like them. He asked me if I had the original boxes. The funny thing is I do. He commented that they would be worth more if I kept the boxes.
What do you call a person that collects items?
A collector
What do the items collect?
Dust
So yeah, the toys collect a ton of dust. It’s really a pain to dust around them. But I like ‘em. The good news is I don’t have much room for them so I haven’t purchased any in awhile.
Except for now. I gotta have the the drunk frog in a bear suit – It’s a classic!
As some of you may or may not know, I’m a big fan of interesting and unusual toys. So when I found these beauties over at Urban Outfitters, I couldn’t resist (Not to mention they were on sale plus an additional 25% off).
However, I don’t think St. Anne (patron saint of lost objects), St. Martha (patron saint of waiters and waitresses, Huh?), or St. Homobonus (patron saint of business) ever imagined they would one day end up immortalized in plastic.
