something about this is very appealing. Do you think the rack is still triangular?

MICKEY MOUSE x TRANSFORMERS?!?
even as i type that, i find it unbelievable.
this image was taken from some hobby magazine in japan, so even if this wonderful creation does come out, it will probably be japan exclusive. sonofacrap i need this right the hell now.
on a side note, apparently Transformers just did some Marvel toys too similar to the Star Wars ones they released over the past couple of years, which are pretty fun:
Spiderman > Motorcycle … Iron Man > Jet … Hulk > Tank …Venom > Muscle car
see them here

Swatch 007 villains collection.
22 watches, one for each Bond film inspired by the films villains. I love concepts like this. even if i dont like all the watches. Kudos, Swatch.

Vote for Olivia.
i wish politics were that simple. but GAP has some new campaign (who doesnt right now?) to get people to vote. the difference, and pay attention anyone who wants my vote, is that they recruited Olivia Munn AND The Cool Kids AND Minka Kelley … and some other whoevers. Nov 4th, vote for Olivia, or the GAP, or just watch the videos. or dont, its the internet, i bet theres already something cooler.

Improv musician Atsuhiro Ito rocks this  flickering noise bender/instrument? called the “Optron” (or “Optrum”), a miked-up fluorescent light tube he plugs into an array of effects pedals and plays sort of like an electric guitar. Seen here in a Sony Walkman commercial.
