Funko & Loungefly Celebrate Stranger Things Day

First, there was cold spaghetti day. Then, slap your uncle with a hot dog weekend. And who could forget "Chase a random child around a swing with a picture of Carrot Top while singing Firework by Katy Perry" Day??!! Funko and Lounge Fly were looking for the perfect holiday to celebrate new products and after a failed Handful of Mustard event, they settled on the perfect thing. Or rather...a STRANGER THING!!

Geeks Go Shopping! The Geekiest Hallmark Selections

Back into your geekiest of holiday shopping suggestions, this time with Hallmark! One of the most fun things to do every year is to hit a Hallmark store when the yearly ornament display is up and press all the buttons. Button pressing is a very acceptable date option, just FYI. The best ornament I ever clicked was Beaker from The Muppets who sang in his Beaker voice and moved his tiny bottom lip. Amazing. This year's offerings covered a wide spectrum of our movies, TV, cartoons and comic books. Among the hefty catalog of products, Hallmark picked three they thought you'd love...

McFarlane Offers a Stranger Things Dart Creature for Every Home

Stranger Things season 2 provided us with many memorable moments, but one section in particular played on our love of monsters and fondness for a certain film about creatures that don't like bright light and multiply when they get wet. Who doesn't love a story about a boy and his (potentially) man eating monster? When McFarlane looked for opportunities to create collectibles from this extremely nostalgic universe, they didn't have to look much further than DART!

SDCC 2018: Netflix Teases Stranger Things Season 3 with a Trip to the Mall

The MALL!! ..a phenomenon and an enigma to kids in Brooklyn when the first glorious cathedrals to consumerism first popped up. We didn't get "it" at first, but we sought out the only mall-like location in our city and after a time, it all made sense. Of course, after moving to New Jersey where there was absolutely nothing else to do, it made even more sense! No matter where you were raised, we probably all have odd mall stories, some including Frank Gorshin (Classic TV Batman's Riddler) chain smoking at a signing in the comic shop, or your friends hustling non-locals at the arcade on Street Fighter, pronouncing at the start of the second match "I'm now going to beat you by just throwing you over and over." The mall is forever burned my memory and, apparently, it made an impression on the Stranger Things crew as well..

Toy Fair 2018: Stranger Things Still Afoot for McFarlane

When Stranger Things took off on Netflix, the geek world sat in awe and then cried out...WHERE'S THE TOYS??!! Funko shouted back "hold my beer" and shifted into overdrive, cranking out pops, reaction figures and other assorted adorable items to feed that need. Next up came McFarlane Toys with 7 inch action figures, bringing Eleven and Chief Hopper to pegs with a signature eye for artistry that would impress most any toy enthusiast. As those meager 2 figures are selling like mad and the public eagerly awaits the follow ups in Dustin, Lucas and a monstrous 10 inch Demogorgon (all already revealed), we're  left to wonder where McFarlane will take this line next. Let's take a look...
