These are some pretty cool custom figures of Wolverine done by J. Arturo Ramirez Romero. You can’t buy them just yet, you need to email him and if there are enough interest, he might put it into production. I would love to see him do the whole X-Men group or the entire Avengers team since they’re really hot items right now. Or maybe even Bruce Lee! Because, you know, he was DA MAN.

Anybody remember the anime Fooly Cooly (FLCL)? I still remember the first time watching it and how I was mesmerized by it – I just couldn’t get enough of it. Japan’s AmiAmi will soon be selling a really cool Canti figure. It’s very pose-able with various points of articulation.
Summer Fun Kid Project: MAKE Marshmallow Shooter

It’s summer and what kid doesn’t enjoy a good water fight? I love using Super Soakers at the lake and blasting everything in sight. But it does get a little messy and with kids, you need to bring lots of extra dry clothes. Here’s a new alternative, why not make your own DIY marshmallow shooter with your kids?
Time to shoot marshmallows and make Smores!

If you thought you saw all the Dark Knight trailers, check out this version of the trailers, but done in Lego. We should expect the Lego Dark Knight video game to follow soon. I have to admit though, Lego video games are one of the most kid-friendly game series around.
LEGO “Heavy Weapons”
May 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Do you have any summer reading plans? Might I suggest “LEGO Heavy Weapons” book from No Starch Press. It’s 368 pages of instructions on how to build 4 life-size guns with shooting action, like loading clips and firing brick ammo – and all from LEGOs. The book will show you how to piece together the Desert Eagle pistol, AKS-74U assault rifle, Jungle Carbine rifle, and SPAS shotgun. This kid Jack Streat from the UK started when he was just 13 years-old building LEGO firearms.

This 4 year old boy sure is happy!! Thumbs up Mom!!
From Japan comes a super cute story and a labor of love project – a mom decided on building her son a cool cardboard Formula 1 replica. As you can possibly tell, mom is a big fan of F1 racing and a fan of Sebastian Vettels’ Red Bull F1 RB8. She studied pictures and videos and added little details like wings and even the correct stickers and logos. Amazing. The cardboard replica even folds up!
Frankie’s Garage: What’s Wrong with This Picture?
February 15, 2012 by 4 Comments
Who is the scumbag that did this? It’s messed up.
The team at Retrenders was happily strolling down the Target toy aisle and spotted this odd looking item. This is clearly not a Pontiac Firebird! The person who returned this item must have bought it and took the original Hot Wheels out and replaced it with a cheap look alike die-cast car. Look at what you buy.

Do you want to know why LEGOs are so cool?
Brian Alano is not even a football fan, but his wife is a die-hard Peyton Manning fan and got him to do a special project. Brian spent 3 years using 30,000 LEGO bricks to build the Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium. It even has a retractable roof.

Thought this might interest all the Hot Wheels enthusiasts out there – this is 2000 feet of Hot Wheels track running through rooms, on the sidewalk, over a hot tub, and up some stairs.
