They also have a wonderful selection of “bleak wristbands.” And don’t neglect to check out their Weirdest Products, which include a Pig Acupuncture Model and Wind-up Hopping Lederhosen.
Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

Jane Austin, Action Hero
Is everyone familiar with Archie McPhee, purveyor of novelties? I’m sure their plastic geegaws have populated many a cubicle. I decided to check them out after spotting a link at Mona's blog. I found an exciting array of items. The Jane Austin and Obsessive Compulsive action figures were among my favorites, but I think the prize goes to the Avenging Unicorn Playset, with interchangeable horns. Check it out.

I am SUCH a McPhee-ophile. I love the Librarian Action Figure and all the pirate stuff.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd not heard of McPhee before this, but those wristbands are certainly funny! I suppose they would be a great gift for a manic depressive...
ReplyDeleteGod Bless.
Living in Seattle I tend to take Archie's for granted. But I must, I must, I MUST have the Jane Austen action figure. I put her on my Christmas list!
ReplyDeleteLorraine: You are sooo lucky!
ReplyDeleteI think I definitely need to check back regularly with McPhee. I remember an editor who kept a big jar of McPhee toys on her desk (a surprise bag, I think). Imagine the endless amusement.
My husband is rather appalled that I liket he impaling unicorn. It's the glint in her eye that I find so appealing.
Oooo, I have a friend who is working on a Jane Austin Tarot deck. Her name is Diane Wilkes and she is the tarot enabler over Tarotpassages.com. I don't think it's finished yet...
