Häxan House Will Let You Swap Your Soul For New Toys

It's an amazing time to be an adult toy collector, with new indie companies popping up daily to present us with creatures we used to draw with crayons and boundless imagination. It takes a lot of hard work and determination to get from concept to completion, even for the huge toy makers, so for the little guys, we must support all we can, and empty our wallets. 

I ran across Haxan in my timeline on a social media platform that hasn't paid me to mention them, showing off a demon action figure that looks like it was torn from the pages of a dusty old folklore tome with yellowed pages and 100 other allergens. I dropped an email expressing my appreciation for their work and they very quickly sent over the info and images I'll share with you now. SO..if you like what you see, remember Haxan House and support any way you can, whether with a signal boost or your hard-earned cash when the time comes. Hopefully both!
