Hey it’s good to be back at the blog, and to kick off my return here’s a rad Pink Thing of the Day: the Pink Flocked Skull for Girls! You have to admit, this universal symbol of human mortality is a lot more palatable in pink. Each 6″ tall, hollow plastic skull is completely covered with a pretty shade of velvety pink flocking. Hinged jaw allows you to pose it with an open or closed mouth. Isn’t it adorable? List Price: $16.95 from Archie McPhee.
Thanks to Lisa at Skulls & Bacon for the tip!

I’m a huge fan of Flight of The Conchords (even if season two really wasn’t very funny), and I know that if these prototype sketches for Flight of the Conchords plush dolls were to actually exist, I would probably have to buy them. If you feel similarly passionate about such things, please write to Alana at Rotten Dollies over in New Zealand and ask her to please make a few.
Thanks To Plastic and Plush for the tip!

My friend, and former editor at the late, great Pandemonium Online, Dave Liljengren turned me on to this Pink Lionel Train found on the (no longer active) Monkey Goggles Blog. Click Here to read an interesting story about how this train has earned the dubious honor of being “The Least Successful Toy In The World.” Thanks, Dave!

Mr. Bacon’s Big Adventure is by far the most mouth-watering, meat-centric board game ever created! As you move your bacon character along the path through Meatland you’ll have to navigate your way through areas like the Mustard Marsh, the Wiener Wasteland and the Sausage Sea. The first one to make it to the frying pan at the end of the trail wins! Includes gameboard with spinner, four game pieces with plastic stands, twenty-four game cards and alternate rules that turn the game into a gluttonous meat feast! Available from Archie McPhee for just $19.95!
