Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Tonight I committed myself to finding something inspired by the Dragonball manga even more ridiculous than the Dragonball Evolution movie.
Obviously, I failed. Even though I managed to turn up a My Little Pony fashioned into a custom-made “Baby Goku Pony.”
That’s right. There’s less rhyme and reason in the Dragonball Evolution movie than there is in [...]
LEGO Optimus Prime Transformer - Yet Another Custom Toy Creation to Make Me Feel Lazy and Untalented
Thursday, April 9th, 2009Remember that sweet-ass LEGO Megatron Transformer?
Well, another prolific Brickshelf user, “Orion Pax,” has created Megatron’s counterpart, this custom-made, fully-transformable LEGO Optimus Prime. There’s even a trailer for “vehicle mode.”
Wow. For someone like me who has the creative LEGO-building prowess of a stillborn spider-monkey, a project like this could only create more marvel if it cured [...]

Made in Mexico, with “free shipping from Texas,” these scream “toy smuggling ring.” But who am I to complain about a little bit of [...]

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009The hits just keep on coming. If you understand “hits” to mean more well-intentioned costumes with questionable execution from WonderCon 2009.
And, yes, a few examples of excellence here and there. But what fun are those?
Hey, Phoenix. Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it. Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it.
No, Predator, I do not [...]
WonderCon 2009 Costumes - Part 1
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009The underlying theme of costumes at this year’s WonderCon 2009 seemed to be, “In spite of the recession, cosplay geeks are still eating well.” You’ll see what I mean.
Also, in spite of the protests of my heart, mind, soul, and remaining kidney, I couldn’t entirely avoid taking a couple of pictures of anime cosplayers. Of [...]
