Jan 26 2009 Interchangeable Ties: An Obama Action Figure
This presidential action figure is certainly a step above Chia Obama. Available in Japan, Action Obama comes complete with interchangeable ties, hands, and weaponry. He can hold an American flag, microphone, gun, katana, and even a lightsaber. He cannot, however, hold a bachelor party for shit. WHERE WERE THE STRIPPERS, BARACK? I swear.

Thanks to Jacen, Ray, MechanicalApe, John and Brit, who are all too old to play with action figures but still do because they're that cool.
Feb 19 2008 Nerf Vulcan Is Fully Auto, Fully Awesome
Ah, Nerf guns. Many a fond memory of playing with those things. I had the old school one that shot the yellow foam balls. I forget the name of it. Something popper? I can't remember. What I do remember is the dog eating all the damn ammo. Then instead of playing with Nerf guns we shot Ping Pong balls out of our mouths at each other. Which was fun until my babysitter hit me square in the eye and I fell and broke my thumb. Good times.
To keep the foam-based childhood memories alive Nerf is releasing the Vulcan EBF-25 later this year. It's an "electrically powered, belt fed, tripod mounted, foam dart annihilation machine." It comes with a 25 dart ammo chain and runs on 6 D batteries (like my girlfriend's favorite toy). MSRP is a paltry $40 so you will definitely be able to afford one. For your viewing pleasure I've included a couple pictures of "Titan" from the new American Gladiators showing off the gun (and his) after the jump. Warning: the combination of wicked toy gun and hunky Gladiator may make you gay.
Hit it for the pictures.

Aug 24 2007 American Gladiators is Back!
Just when I thought today couldn't get any better, I find out that NBC is bringing back American Gladiators! Oh lucky day. Sure ESPN Classic plays reruns (which are awesome), but after you've seen them all dozens of times you're left wanting more. I am so excited! You know, I was actually interviewed to be a gladiator back in the day (I was going to be Kaboom). But during the negotiations process I flew into a roid rage and was caught humping a Coke machine. I haven't heard from them since.
Oh, and if you don't get a boner watching the video after the jump, you're probably dead.
