My wife aka (Short Army) and I were playing around with this concept a while back of 'It's Not a Toy' when talking to friends about why exactly we have soooooo many toys on our shelves. She she doodled up some concepts and produced what is now some stickers and our new Glow-in-the-dark tshirt. We designed these pretty much for fun, and we probably won't do another run so you better act quick if you want one of these less than 50 available shirts.... [ read more ]

If there is one person with a blade that I don't want to mess with with it would have to be Westley ... but a close second would be Carson Catlin.

He's done up a great 7" Raffy custom titled 'NYB' for sale at the Designer Toy Awards ceremoney for $250. The figure has a painted silver exterior and the red interior can be viewed through the reticulation. If you want to pick this up you'll have to attend the ceremony October 13th at Providence NYC when the doors open at 8pm. I really hope everyone got my Princess Bride reference or I'll be sad....
