I already talked about some of the action figures I need to have, but I might have a few more to add to the list. I've been trying to wrap my mind around this Sue Richards statue from the Fantastic Four. I know Jessica Alba played Sue Storm in the movie, but damn! No figurine should be that curvy.
This Sue Richards was made by Japanese artist Rockin' Jellybean. Rockin' Jellybean has become known on the Los Angeles Lowbrow art scene for his luchador masks and outrageous proportions. It's kind of that fine line though, is he making a statement about American culture and even with Marvel's consent a statement about the big guns, bit tits culture of comic books, or is he just feeding the fan boy fire? I'm not sure, but I like it.
Of course, you also have to see Sue backing that thing up.
Let's not forget that Japan is the same country that brought us the wonders of Transformers Kiss Players. Giant mechanized robots that are powered by the kisses of cute teenage girls. I like manga and all, but sometimes I think Japanese men don't know the difference between the time to geek and the time to masturbate. I like to keep them separate, but to each their own.
Oh, and speaking of inappropriate Japanese masturbation, these little babies make it easier than ever. I'm not sure sleep was what people had in mind when they invented these pillows. MuneKyun Dakimakura, roughly translated to Chest-Tight Hugging Pillow, feature sexy anime girls on curvy pillows.
Yes, these pillows are three dimensional. Squeeze, poke, or hug, hug, hug your way to happiness. Strange, but surprisingly brilliant.
PS... this is exactly what the conference room in my office looks like.
