Looks like Lego is taking a cue from designer toys (which took their cue from Japanese gashapon figures) and will be releasing a series of blindboxed minifigs next summer. The series has some fresh looking characters like a sexy cheerleader (#2), dastardly gentleman (#8), and luchadore (#15), but HOLY FUCKING SHIT THERE’S A LEGO NINJA AND A LEGO ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!!
Kinda’ bummed at the absence of any sort of pirate in this series, but it’s still fucking awesome.

This set of stickers replaces letters on your keyboard with amusingly charming designs by Christopher Monro DeLorenzo. Instead of the letter “C” you’ll see a Yeti. Instead of the letter “S” you’ll see a skull.
Or instead of the letter “B” you’ll see the head of Mr. David Bowie…

From the artist:
We used to learn our alphabets by reading those classroom banners that associated each letter with an animal or object. These days as kids become increasingly computer dependent at an early age I thought it was about time to adapt an old method to a new medium.
From cultural icons to Greek mythology, this keyboard sticker set will advance the alphabetical knowledge of any child, or adult.

This Left 4 Dead mobile is for sale right now on Etsy for $36. Since I don’t have a crib and the product description says “Not recommended for children,” I’m wondering who this thing’s intended for.
Weirdo gamers who sleep in adult-sized cribs. That’s who.
*Googles prices for adult-sized cribs*
Other awesome mobiles fromt he seller include a Team Fortress Mobile and a Pirates vs Ninjas Mobile.
