Remember that kid who lived down the street from you who owned like every Star Wars action figure in existence? He even had one of those cool Grandmothers who knew everything about Star Wars and bought him that giant AT-AT for his birthday. When you went over to his house he would force you to play with Greedo and forbid you from touching any of his other toys. Meanwhile you had to search for leftover change in vending machines just to scrape up enough action figure money to buy the slave girl version of Leia and Boba Fett. If you’re anything like us the whole experience left you mentally scarred for years… causing you to lust after every Star Wars goodie available and have recurring fantasies of your girlfriend in a bikini chained to a huge green slug. Sad.
Now that you have money and a real job you can show up that damn Star Wars action figure hoarding brat. This R/C R2-D2 Action Figure is like a Star Wars fanboy’s wet dream come true. The size of a regular action figure, this tiny droid is fully controllable from the included lightsaber remote. Authentic R2-D2 sounds, turning head and red LED eye complete the package. No more playing with your old skool Star Wars figures by shaking them and talking in a funny voice, this is the real deal… and we don’t kid when it comes to Star Wars. We would have killed for this little R2 gem as a kid and it’s still pretty damn cool as an adult.

Being cold isn’t fun. Vampires know this. That’s one of the reasons they drink blood – to keep warm. Well, to celebrate the joys of being a vampire and to help keep your hands warm this winter, we bring you the perfectly named Heart Hand Warmer. But unlike most hand warmers, this one you can use over and over again. And, you don’t have to pop it in the microwave to heat up.
The magic with the heart hand warmer is in the metal disc you see inside it. All you do is click the disc back and forth a few times and you’ll see the clearish gel inside become opaque. As the opaqueness spreads, so does the heat! It’s a crazy chemical reaction which we like to call AWESOME! Seriously, the pretty red gel is a supersaturated solution. Bending the disc starts an exothermic crystallization of the gel (i.e. it goes opaque and gets hot). And when it loses its warmth, all you have to do is wrap it in a towel and throw it into boiling water for about 15-20 minutes and the Heart Hand Warmer resets itself. Once it cools off from its boiling bath, it is ready to be used again. A great, fun way to keep your fingers warm this winter. Got a chilly butt? Then slip it in your back pocket. Just be careful when you sit down.
Dimensions: approx 3.75″ wide
Added Bonus: You can pop the heart hand warmer in the fridge for a few hours and use it as a cooling pack too!

History lesson, boys and girls; everyone take their seats. In 1539, people were bored and poor. One day, Filius Giles of North Southwesteasternshire thought of a great way to pass the time. He took a chunk of lead (called a “pohtaytoh” by blacksmiths of the time) and heated it up. Gathering some friends, he dipped the pohtaytoh in lard with his tongs and threw it to his closest friend. The lard began melting away as each person threw it to another, hoping not to get burned by the “hot pohtaytoh.” Apparently, everyone had a blast, and the game has survived today.
And now Hot Pohtaytoh has evolved into the Shock Ball. The Shock Ball plays just like the classic game – with one major alteration. This ball doesn’t want you to win. It wants you to drop it and lose. And to get you to drop it, the Shock Ball (as you probably have guessed) shoots out random electrical shocks (and lights up to make the experience more enjoyable). If you can hold onto the Shock Ball, you will quickly become the Shock Ball Champ. And everyone will know you have nerves of steel and a very unique hairstyle (you know, from all the shocks). Shocking fun for everyone.
The Shock Ball is approx. 2.5″ in diameter,has an auto off function (for a modicum of safety), and uses 2 AAA batteries (not included).
Warning: The Product Emits An Electric Shock. Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for those under the age of 14. This is a novelty item, not a toy. May interfere with electrical devices such as pacemakers.
