10 More of the Greatest Colorforms Playsets Ever Made

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 8:04 am
dandd Header Image 5.JPG
More than 60 years after they first hit the market, Colorforms are still being produced today. That my friends is called staying power. The brand is currently owned by University Games, who in recent years have released Colorforms based on Yo Gabba Gabba! and SpongeBob SquarePants. Even though it is extraordinarily difficult for such a low-tech plaything to compete these days, these toys that "stick like magic" continue to endure. This is due to issues ranging from familiarity and nostalgia to the fact that Colorforms still inspire imagination in an era when most of their competitors do not.

Back in 2008, Topless Robot looked at the 5 Greatest (and 5 Most Ridiculous) Colorforms Playsets. Today's Daily List drops the negative aspect of its predecessor to again focus on the cream of the Colorforms crop. From oddities that reveal the secret kinks of your favorite Hanna-Barbera characters to playtime's final frontier, here are 10 more of the greatest Colorforms playsets.More >>

Geek Apparel of the Week: District 14, Astaroids, Yellowjacket

Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 2:04 pm
District_14zvgStandard.jpg
• District 13 might be long gone in The Hunger Games, but even more forgotten is District 14, which used to provide the nation of Panem with all its tacos. When District 14 shuttered its doors, that when life really went to hell. It's $12 at Woot, today only.

• Shockingly, that's not a typo in the article title -- the shirt really is called Astaroids and not Asteroids, because of the ships originating from Star-titled franchises. Anyways, it's still pretty subtle and simple, and I always like that. It's $20 at 604 Republic.

• We Love Fine has three minimalist Avengers t-shirts out, including Vision and Hawkeye, but my favorite for some reason is Yellowjacket here. If I stopped and thought about it I could explain why, but I'd rather play Saints Row the Third some more, so too bad. It's $25 at We Love Fine -- and I should mention this is the last week to enter their design-an-Avengers-t-shirt contest. I expect great results from this contest, so I hope a few Topless Roboteers threw their hats into the ring.

Alien Vs. Sushi

These could very well have been a Super Terrific Japanese Thing, but they're so disturbing I figured you needed to see them ASAP -- they're Alien themed chopsticks, adding a touch of xenomorphic disgustingness to your Asian meals. They come in Chest Burster, Face Hugger, and Basic Alien types, so... I don't know. I'm so creeped out that the chopsticks have have spikes and ridges that I can't concentrate. All I know is that I don't ever want to put one in my mouth. That said, I'm sure at least one of you guys does, so you can pre-order them here from Jbox for $22 each.

George Lucas Invites You to Enjoy a Slurp Saber

Friday, January 27, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I SWEAR TO GOD I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. Go-Gurt is running a promo with Star Wars for The Phantom Menace 3-D; the Go-Gurt tubes glow-in-the-dark like lightsabers, which is all well and good. What's less well and good is THAT THEY'RE CALLING THEM SLURP SABERS.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Really? Really no one felt there was a double entendré there? For a product that is already a long tube of yogurt? KIDS, SUCK HARD ENOUGH ON THAT SLURP SABER AND YOU'LL MAKE THE GO-GURT COME OUT! Dont squeeze too hard or you'll make a mess! Don't forget to play with the balls a little! Okay, that las one doesn't quite work, but you get the idea. Honestly, I'm going to have a hard time finding an FFF as depraved as this.

Geek Apparel of the Week: Muggle Red Ale, Duel in Space, Eva Parkas

• Honestly, I think I'm posting this Hogwarts beer logo purely because it's modeled after the Smithwick's logo, and I find Smithwick's o be a very tasty beer. Still, I've run shirts for worse reasons. It's $12 at Qwertee for four more hours, and then that's that.

m_b79ed51a4201f9c2d8b99ba016b8001d.jpg
• Meanwhile, while it's not my personal style, I imagine there are more than a few of you who would be thrilled to wear a shirt with both Han Solo and Mal Reynolds on it. It's $12 at OtherTees for the next two days.

• Gainax has decided to dip its toe into the Evangelion merchandising pool, and these cat-eared Evangelion hoodies -- which are being called parkas for some reason -- are the result. They come in Unit-01, Unit-02 and yellow Unit-00 flavors, and are reversible with some kind of Angel-esque leopard print on the inside. They're 7250 yen or about $95, and you can try to pre-order them here if you can read Japanese and they ship internationally and you have the wind at your back. There are more pics of 'em at ANN.

BREAKING: Catwoman's Butt Revealed

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 11:22 am
TDKRstatue1.jpg
Thanks to some DC Direct marketing ads from the U.K. Toy Fair, we have a look at an upcoming Catwoman statue from The Dark Knight Rises, and thus, the best look at Catwoman we've had so far (specifically, her lower torso, but I went with the more sensational if less accurate "butt" in the headline, as I'm trying to get a job at my local Fox affiliate). Selina here is wearing what might be a reasonable cat burglar outfit, with the possible exception of the the thigh-high boots and the definite exception of her spike heels, which I can imagine working when climbing buildings, but would make basic running/walking almost impossible (maybe they retract or something). All in all, the suit is somewhat reminiscent of Julie Newmar's Catwoman from the '60s Batman, which is a-okay by me -- Newmar's performance may have been campy, but her outfit was not. If you're interested in more rather lackluster Dark Knight Rises merchandise from DC Direct, the Idle Hands blog has plenty more pics. (Via The Mary Sue)

Avengers: Earth's Smelliest Heroes

Monday, January 23, 2012 at 3:08 pm
stank avengers.jpg
Since this seems to be the "why the fuck not?" era of movie merchandising, I guess I shouldn't be surprised to learn that the live-action Avengers movie has its own cologne line coming out, but I kind of am. I mean, if you had told the 12-year-old me that not only would the Avengers have a real movie coming out in 2012, but there would also be Avengers perfumes for sale, his head would have exploded. Here are the six available scents:
• Infinity Formula Cologne
Colonel Nicholas "Nick" Fury. Paratrooper, Ranger, Weapons and Demolitions Expert, Aircraft Specialistand Pilot, Green Beret. Veteran of every US War and Military Conflict since WWII. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. "The single most powerful, most important organization on the planet Earth." And the only human strong enough to bring together a group of remarkable people who would fight the battles no one else could.

• Patriot Cologne
A cologne that pays homage to the confident, stand-up-to-bullies, hard working average Joe in every man. PATRIOT Cologne is both reserved and sexy; like a symbol on a shield or a moniker ona motorcycle helmet. Fresh notes of green lime and white pepper are the first to hit with dry oak wood, sandalwood and tequila accords finishing the adventure. Perfect for any time or place, PATRIOT Cologne puts the Novus Mundus in your strong, sensuous hands for you to embrace and discover.

• Mark VII Cologne
A resolutely sophisticated cologne forged from the sea, the sun, the earth, and a touch of devil-may-care whimsy. Transparent, aromatic, and modern in nature, Mark VII combines mandarin, neroli, nasturtium and jasmine layered with light patchouli to create a contemporary expression of "I don't play well with others" confidence; leaving you always ready for whatever a genius, billionaire, playboy-philanthropist might encounter along the way.

• SMASH!
Very unusual and rare materials have been brought together to create a woody aquatic cologne evoking both a serene sense of timeless freedom and a single-minded, unbridled passion for life. Yuzu, bergamot and tarragon create clean, clear top notes along with unexpected accords of water lily and nutmeg. SMASH! then carries an intense woody drydown enriched with Indian sandalwood, vetiver, musk and sharp cedar. Complimentary to a full range of emotions, it wears well no matter where-at work, the lab or an evening out on the town.

• Worthy Cologne
This woody citrus cologne is a unique, meaningful combination of bergamot, frozen ginger and wheatgrass blended with a hint of fresh natural grapefruit and layered deeply with aromatic cypress. Basenotes are possessed with sensual, seductive tones of dark amber and cedarwood, protecting and enhancing a deep, dry masculine (dare we say almost God-like?) musk.

• Mischief
Possessed of Superhuman strength, Genius-level intelligence, Mystical powers, Telepathy, Flight, Clairvoyance, Therianthropy, and Teleportation... who could blame you for becoming the greatest trickster of them all? So wear your crown of baleful maleficence with pride; let mirth and mayhem stand ready at your side, anticipating your every command. Test their mettle knowing you have nothing to fear; you are Mischief and you were made to rule.
Admittedly, even at age 34, my head is still kind of exploding here. The colognes will be $60, but don't appear to be for sale quite yet. Meanwhile, I can't help but wonder what scents the other Avengers might have. For instance, I imagine Hawkeye smelling of Old Spice, bowstring oil, and being stuck in the second tier. A Black Widow perfume that smells like Scarlett Johansson's jumpsuit would probably sell well, at least among perverts. Doctor Druid's cologne would be patchouli, old D&D sourcebooks and failure. And Spider-Woman, of course, would smell like Brian Michael Bendis' ejaculate. You guys got any others? (Via Nerd Bastards)

You can now purchase a foam and PVC version of the Doomhammer from World of Warcraft. It's $150 at ThinkGeek. I've never even played a second of WoW and I want one, desperately. And then I want to take it to my local Fox affiliate and get myself arrested for assault (Via Nerd Approved)
