The connection between blind lawyer-by-day “Matt Murdock” and Hell’s Kitchen-hero-by-night Dare Devil, and vigilante “Frank Castle” aka The Punisher has been the stuff of comicbook legends thru the years (well, to the folks who care about them anyways) from fisticuff-clashes to sharing jail-time on Rykers (back in ’06 ~ my comicbook-experience has stopped since then), they are arguably one of the

by Eleanor de Bruin These bulky, well-built robots from Ernest the Bear are decorated with appropriately robotic designs, using lithography. The bright colours and detail give each of the three available designs a unique and slightly sinister look. Just a few quick twists of the robots’ wind-up mechanism and the little tin guys are ready to scoot off across the floor

by David Smith Tri 3D is the three-dimensional strategy game from PaNic Games , which aims to appeal to serious strategy game-players and family boardgamers alike. Split over three levels (which will strike a chord with Star Trek fans who remember Spock’s 3D chess), the game can be played by two or three players, who attempt to surround or corner their opponents’ pieces. Pieces can be moved one space at a time and can jump between the triangular levels for surprise attacks

I recently joined a webgroup that is posting a picture a day of ONE of their dolls! I honestly don’t think I have 365 dolls (my husband & kids probably think differently) but it’s been lots of fun – and I wanted to share with you! First of all is pictured my Raving Beauty doll* – I got her when I was in 4th grade. She had to attend a Dolly Spa because this is what she looked like several years ago: Sad isn’t it? But she refreshed nicely and stands proudly in Millie’s Studio! (We won’t mention that’s she’s waiting for the creation of the blue taffeta dress she arrived in!) Others wondered if she was a composition doll but actually after World War II, the doll industry began using hard plastic for dolls including Toni and Ginny dolls.

The one and only Lulu of Lulu’s Stabby Critters would like to unveil what she has been working on for well over a week and a half……………. Drum roll please That’s right a circus themed table set up……The idea got stuck in my head when I saw a couple of display items on ebay that I thought were super cute but made no sense with my current set up. So of course I had to go with it and figure out how to convey a circus tent on a flat table, what do you think? I’m very happy with how it turned out…….I love the idea of the critters being part of a travelling side show and I am the ringmaster of course so they better behave or I’ll crack the whip.
