By now you are all familiar with the saga that is The Hobbit film. Much like J.R.R Tolkien’s novels, it is a story involving an epic struggle. Whether or not it will have a happy ending remains to be seen, but Blastr’s infographic will fill you in on the backstory so you aren’t like that dude that went to see The Return of the King without seeing the first two movies. I mean, what was up with that guy?

It may not be scheduled to release until this August, but I am still counting it as one of the toys of the summer. Fire him off into the sky, and when he reaches his peak he launches a jet to return him safely to earth. There aren’t too many iron clad men that can move well, never mind fly.

I’m a big fan of The Princess Bride film, but I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed with this Dread Pirate Roberts Plush. I really had my heart set on a full-fledged Cary Elwes action figure.

These Cheech and Chong action figures give you a fine example of why taking Quaaludes is not such a good idea. Unless you have a secret desire for pink tutus, nipple tassels or fishnet socks to be worn in public.
It also gives you a fine idea of the highbrow type of movie you will be watching if you you rent ‘Up in Smoke’. Each figure comes complete with a big fatty joint. Just to mellow out the Quaaludes, of course.

Get yourself some “Sweet!” bandages. Very useful for all those people who are as accident prone as Napoleon. Each package contains 15 bandages in three styles with some of Napoleon’s best sayings on it. I would think they would sell these things by the gross, 15 will barely cover a weeks damage.

If you are a fan of classic horror movies, this Bates Motel Light Up Sign will be a welcome addition to a den or the room of a weird kid that likes to mess with Halloween makeup and masks all year round.

Funny, I don’t remember Dorothy engaging in a bondage sex scene with a bunch of mutant trolls in the Wizard of Oz.
Features a removable skirt. Nice.

The fact that Dirty Dancing came out 20 years ago doesn’t seem to phase the manufacturers of the Dirty Dancing Talking Keychain. In fact, the device features six classic phrases including: “Nobody puts baby in a corner” and “The steps aren’t enough – feel the music.”
If there was ever a talking keychain that was perfect for your Mom, this would be it. Although, my mother loves Dirty Dancing and even she would think this thing was retarded.
