Yoda Wind-Up for My Cubicle
May 27, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Even though I have a pretrend “memory lost” of the Star Wars prequels, I did geek out when in Attack of the Clones (2002), Yoda had his CGI light saber battle. So from the Disney Store, I ordered my very own Yoda Wind-Up Flipping Toy just for my little workstation. Just wind it up and watch the 3″ Yoda figure flip around.

May 9, 2015 by Leave a Comment
This sexy French Canadian and professional Cosplayer became an online hit with her Mortal Kombat costume character – Frost.
Marie-Claude Bourbonnais has a background in fashion design with 16 years of experience.

She also tells me how latex became a costume fabric hit in the costume making world of cosplay… But what was it really used before that? The latex-fabric utilizing company that gave her the costume-making edge was Polymorphe.
