Imagine R2D2 and his droid buddies getting together for a jam session. That seems to be the idea behind these neat android toys. Unless you are nerd enough to buy the kit which gives you all sort of superpower control over what sounds this thing makes you will have to settle for the ready-mades with their limited but no less amusing for that analog retro-robot sounds. Wow, was that a long sentence of what?

Time flies? Time wounds? Time HURTS! Man, do not leave this laying around where someone (or you) are going to sit on it. That would not be good. Nor pretty. Unless of course you are into that sort of thing. Hey, I am nobody to judge.

Steel Toe Studios - Hand-forged buckles and belts

Description

Not only are these belt buckles cool (and hot) but they're reasonably priced - two things that do not often go hand in hand or even buckle in belt. I need these for my next movie.

LumiSource Vivid 65-Inch Floor Lamp

Description

This is one of those retro future lamps that just grab my eyeballs and won't let go. For those of you not sure what retro future means - it's like in the 50s when everybody was driving monster cars with tailfins that made them look like rockets. We were suppose to all be driving flying cars by 1980! What happened? What went wrong? I want my flying rocket car!

The Shishimai Robot dances along to traditional music while tapping its feet and opening its mouth. It is a symbol of good luck. Reminds me of Don Ameche.

I recently watched a creepy BBC documentary about guys who live with these anatomically correct life-size dolls. Enough said about that. This is better.
