It’s the greatest collection of heroes ever assembled—Alexander the Great, Oscar Wilde, Beethoven, Anne Bonny, Charles Dickens, Anne Oakley, Blackbeard, Bach, Wagner and their leader—Moses.

Thanks to Archie McPhee, you can harness their power with the Box of Extraordinary Gentlemen…and Ladies!

We are giving away $90 worth of real-life action figures in one magnificent set! All you need to do to enter is “Like” us on Facebook and comment in the contest thread or follow us on Twitter and tweet this post with the hashtag #giveaway. You can also email us at contests@nerdapproved.com with “Archie McPhee Action Figure Contest” in the subject line. A winner will be chosen at random.

However, last day to enter is Sunday, April 17th, so don’t wait! And if you want to try your luck even more, Archie McPhee is also giving away a box of mysterious candy on our sister site That’s Nerdalicious!

As promised with last week’s preview of the Cthulhu water bottle, Archie McPhee has also delivered on a 1936 vintage of Jackalope Tumbleweed wine. As any connoisseur will tell you, this vintage is truly exceptional—dry, with notes of sand and a long leather boot-flavored finish. Of course, you could fill it with just about anything from water to moonshine.

The guys at Archie McPhee are adding to their popular line of water bottle designs with the mythical Cthulhu and Jackalope. Prices have not been revealed, but you should be able to hydrate with pure evil starting tomorrow.

Dog Buddha StatueCould it be that chasing cars, sniffing ass and eating your own puke is the gateway to spiritual Nirvana, or is that look just gas?  Probably better to take the high road on this one. A cat version is pictured after the break.
