Inflatable Kicking Wicked Witch Legs

Posted on by


I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog too! Everyone knows that witches seem to have a propensity to being flattened by flying houses. Now you can add your house to the list with these inflatable Kicking Witch Legs. They really move up and down! A set of 7 LED lights inside keeps it lit up at night.

Now technically this is not the Wicked Witch of the East, but just one of the aforementioned many many witches that happen to wear striped leggings. It’s a standard witch look. It really could be any of them. The cool thing about this Halloween decoration is that it seems like it would even look great on the SIDE of your house or even in front of your garage. Ships everywhere, including Kansas.

Inflatable Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Posted on by


Who ya gonna call? Slimer and his gang of spooky ghosts might have been no problem for the Ghostbusters to handle but the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was a much bigger problem. Literally. And now you can get into the Halloween spirit with this HUGE Inflatable Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. This yard decoration stands 8 feet tall, which is quite a bit smaller than the “real” one but definitely big enough to put your neighbors on notice that you have the coolest yard around.

But why stop with just Halloween? Sure when you think Ghostbusters you think Halloween, right? Or at least someone in the marketing department thought that everyone would. There’s really no reason not to have a giant movie character inflatable on your lawn year round. Check your HOA or town guidelines, is there a specific passage outlawing 8 foot inflatable marshmallow men? No? I’m not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure that means you’re good to go. Besides, I’m pretty sure he only attacks New York City and nowhere else.

Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Watch

Posted on by

flux capacitor watch Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Watch
You don’t need to be Huey Lewis to be singing about going back in time. You don’t even need to be The News. You just need to be wearing this Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Watch. Modeled after Doc Brown’s flux capacitor, this watch takes it out of the DeLorean and puts it on your wrist. It’s made of stainless steel, just like a DeLorean. Unlike a DeLorean it won’t time travel if you hit 88mph. It does have a “time travel” mode though.
back to the future watch Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Watch
Press the button to activate “time travel” mode and the watch goes haywire, the Flux Capacitor starts fluxing, and the time circuit displays a random date. We’re pretty sure you’ll still be in the present time but check your surroundings just in case you’ve gone back to your parents’ prom or something. Otherwise the bottom just shows the current boring date.

If you actually did want to use this watch to tell time (and that’s kind of the point of watches, right?) you need to do some counting- press the button and the Flux lights up 3 times, with the number of lights for the hours, then minutes by 10 then single minutes. So for 9:38 it will light up 9 lights, 3 lights, then 8 lights, then repeat. Math was never Marty McFly’s strong suit anyway.

Great Scott! It’s a Flux Capacitor USB Car Charger

Great Scott! If my calculations are correct when this sucker reaches 88 mph, you’re going to see some serious sh!t! Take your car… back to the future with the Flux Capacitor USB Car Charger. It looks just like the device from Doc Brown’s famed DeLorean (you know, from the movie Back to the Future? just stating the obvious) but instead of taking you back or forward in time, it charges up your phone.

The charger has a pair of USB ports (1A and 1 x 2.1A) to charge anything with a USB cable- phones, tablets, GPS units, hover skateboards, etc.) Not only does it look like the flux capacitor, it also lights up and pulses just like the real deal as you drive on down the road. Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads. You can turn the flux effect on or off with the switch if you don’t feel like going back to your parent’s high school dance. You got that, McFly?

Ghostbusters Helicopters are Coming!

ghostbusters helicopters Ghostbusters Helicopters are Coming!
We were going to post this anyway today but on the news of the death of Harold Ramis, it seems appropriate. At the Toy Fair we got a sneak peak of this cool new Ghostbuster toy that is coming out next Fall from World Tech Toys.

It’s Ghostbuster mini r/c helicopters! What you see in the photo is still in the prototype stages- the final paint scheme is not even approved yet (you can see Slimer’s colors in the smaller model). There will be one chopper for each of the Ghostbusters (coincidentally the only figure they had on display was Ramis’ character Egon), as well as Slimer, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and even the Ecto-1 car! Each figure has a little helicopter blade atop their head and is remote controlled. RIP Harold Ramis.

It’s a nightmare…on your street. It must suck to live on an Elm Street this time of year. Especially if you come across someone wearing this frightful Nightmare on Elm Street Animated Sweater. Freddy Krueger Animated Sweater of Horror You don’t have to worry too much…unless you fall asleep. Did you just yawn? As the name would imply this sweater actually has a moving and writhing chest piece showing Freddy’s wretched torso of souls. It also screams, here’s an action video:

Yes- just like Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master when he rips open his iconic sweater to reveal the tortured souls of his victims trapped within. That’s a great item to wear for Halloween and also for normal everyday use. Perhaps for casual Friday in the office? Just don’t fall asleep during that conference call.

Rock ‘n Roll and Movie Maps

We are really digging these customized maps from Dorothy design. I’m sure this idea has been done before but this is just done really well. The film map consists entirely of roads and locations named after famous movies and movie locations. A lot of them- 900 films in all. Like that park is Jurassic Park and it’s right off of Miracle on 34th Street.
film map Rock n Roll and Movie Maps
The map is based loosely off Los Angeles (natch). The rock one is below and features all famous song names like Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd, and Highway 61 Revisited. I don’t see Penny Lane on there but I would guarantee 1000000% it’s somewhere. There’s even some landmarks like the Hotel California and Heartbreak Hotel.

There’s 360 songs on the song map and a key is included to help you find them all. Neat use of maps.
