The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Thread

I think I'm going to bake these into some brownies to share at work and not tell anyone...

 

^^^Whoa! What is that?!? Do those pieces pop like the old fashioned candy that fizzled?
....what happens if you put a small handful in your mouth all at once? Is the popping so strong that you have to spit it out? Interesting stuff!

 

Don't mix that shit with Pepsi Dean, it will be catastrophic!

 

Hahahaha! Yeah, they're exactly like Pop Rocks except that they only taste like sugar. I figured they'd be fun for a little subversive stealth baking.

 

Hmmmmm! What a sneaky guy you are! Thanks for sharing that, I'll have to order some and "test" it out!

 

Yep, this is awesome. I have an old Sega Nomad lying around somewhere.

Excuse the iphone pic but here's today's delivery from my framing guy. All original artworks

L-R: Toshikazu Nozaka, Buff Monster, Roid MSK, Usugrow and Luke Chueh

 

That is a lot of art work!! LOVE the Roid piece!!!!

 

you own the breakfast at tiffany's book cover!!!

i hate you

 

I was bored so whipped one of these out. Sorry about the enormous pic and the dark blurriness of it but it's dark here and my camera is shitenuts. I milled this at 3" and the last one was about 5" (it was better). Milled stuff is shit...how cool would it be to have the license to these?

 

Why, yes. I do The Usugrow, Nozaka and Buff pieces were all from the same show in London.

 

Just scored a couple of T-shirts from Goodwill.

 

Ordered a repro Eames lounge chair, it was on sale for 689.00 usually 1,200 or something. A real version costs twice that. Free shipping, it arrived with a couple small dings, nothing I can't fix in a few minutes. From Lexington Modern.

Ever since I was a little kid I've loved the whole early/mid sixties modern style. Airport lounges, hospital lounges...even our church seemed so exotic with mod furniture and African art from the missionaries.

So my house is slowly becoming how I've always imagined it, with these icons of style from that era. I'm happy about it. Not bad on my working class budget.

 

one of these is on my "wants list" one day when I grow up I will own it. one day.

 

In 1979 my Mom let me pick out any toy I wanted for my birthday. I picked Mattel's KRUSHER.
It traveled with my from Florida to Philadelphia, but in one of my moves must have gotten forgotten.
the Bay isn't always the devil- Box + 2 Krushers for $50!

 

NICE KRUSHERS!! 2 and the box!! Nice find!!

 

Another toy I never knew existed.

 

With my luck I'll need something in my closet and end up finding my original just laying there.
but yeah- totally geeked to have these two fellers living with me now.
