Not A Bad Deal: Bad Robot Action Figure

It's about freaking time — Bad Robot's iconic logo is finally getting an action figure treatment. That's right folks, J. J. Abrams' production outfit has partnered with Mattel Creations to make a really cool toy. Standing 7.25-inches-tall, the die-cast and plastic figure has twenty-four points of articulation and even includes a removable panel on the back of its head to reveal the robot's true inner workings.

The Bad Robot Premium Action Figure is now available for pre-order ($100), but won't ship out until February 2022. Some more info while I start manufacturing bootlegs to sell to desperate nerds:

The head, torso, legs and feet are made of heavy die-cast metal.
The packaging design is inspired by retro comic mail-in ads.
Comes with a plastic display base and a certificate of authenticity.
Packaging Dimensions: 6.75" wide x 4" deep x 10" tall.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
