Screaming Octopus sounds like the name of a boss in Metal Gear Solid, but it’s not. It’s a squishy, vibrating toy for ladies to put on their you-know-whats. It also reminds of our logo.

Fellow blogger and long-time friend of ALBOTAS, Francesco from HobbyMedia, had the chance to hit up this year’s Tokyo Toy Show and was nice enough to share some pics. Probably one of the coolest things was this ginormous Ultraman statue that towers over 13-feet tall. Notice how the tiny Asian men make Ultraman look way [...]

This Lego Death Star is simply incredible. It recreates 14 classic star wars scenes and even comes with 21 Lego Star Wars figures.
