Collector Beastie Boys Action Figures
Err, how quickly can you rustle up $750? Seriously, who wouldn’t want this crazy cool Beastie Boys Vinyl figure set adorning the bookcase of their inner-city apartment. MCA, Mike D and Ad Rock immortalized as action figures, and all for a good cause, with proceeds going to organizations that help kids with cancer. Read below and drool like us over the goodies that each box contains. Read more
Action Figure Therapy: toys speak their mind
Even heroes have problems they sometimes need to get off their chest. That thought, or something very similar to it, must have been the origin of this YouTube channel where action figures get to speak their mind in the professional setting of conventional talk therapy. Yes, it’s a hard life for Birdman, Jungle Recon soldier, White Ninja Assassin and their buddies. Read more

TipOff: turn your iPhone into an early-warning device
Homes are expensive in Singapore. So 16 or 40, Singaporean men live with their parents. Rule of the house is: No sex please, we’re Asians. So our men have to take their women to parks, staircases, empty parking lots. Not entirely romantic. With Okamoto, you can now say goodbye to bouncing cars and get it on at home. The condom keeps babies away (raising children is also very expensive in Singapore), and the app keeps a look-out for parents. Download to unload safely: Okamoto TipOff at the App Store.

Possibly the worst piece of television ever conceived, George Lucas does not want you to see this: ‘The Star Wars Holiday Special is a 1978 American television special set in the Star Wars galaxy. The special is notorious for its negative reception.’ Awesome.

The nice thing about black metal is that it’s so hard for it to be co-opted. Between its often extreme ideologies and its inherently abrasive sound, it’s hard to imagine anyone trying to sell you a pair of sneakers with it. Even as some bands like Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth have wormed their way into the mainstream, the vast majority of black metal fans and bands out there are happy to stay in the filthy pits of the underground.

Derrick R. Cruz has channeled his talent for creating densely detailed works into the creation of the brand Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons. Fuelled by the New York city art and fashion scene, Cruz’s pieces are timeless but relevant, and beautifully detailed in their imperfections. They combine gold, silver, resin and bronze to create dark but wearable art.
