Grogu's Favorite Things

     For my Instagram account this year, I put together this little Countdown to Christmas with Grogu reaching for things. There's not really anything "Christmasey" about it at all, but it was a lot of fun to do. I suppose you can say it's Grogu opening an advent calendar filled with the most random stuff imaginable.

Yeah... Let's go with that.

Merry Christmas!

A candy cane | Fried okra | A VHS copy of Fievel Goes West

An old Nokia cell phone | A rubber chicken | An extended car warranty

An autographed headshot of Tom Bergeron | Camelot (only a model) | Chattermax

A dirty old boot | That grain of sand from The NeverEnding Story | B.B. King's Lucille

A pair of Air Force Ones | Harry Potter's birthday cake | A roll of duct tape

Green eggs & ham | A jazz cup | Sheet music for "The Final Countdown"

Patrick Begorra | Aldebaran whiskey | That carrot toy from Disney's Bolt

The Maltese Falcon | A black & white cookie | That Miss Piggy doll that McDonald's sold in the '80s

Far, Far Away...

 Some random characters from that galaxy we all love so much.

Rebooting Ruxpin Action Figures

     It's now been more than ten years since I suggested a reboot of Teddy Ruxpin and started on this little on-again/off-again fan art indulgence of mine. In my first post, I mentioned how I never owned the famous Teddy Ruxpin doll on which the whole franchise was based, but I did own the action figures... and played with them a lot! I, therefore, thought it'd be fun to conceptualize what the new action figures would look like if my reboot were actually a thing. 

     While I loved playing with the figures, they were severely lacking in terms of accessories, and since this whole thing is about creating the Teddy Ruxpin that I, personally, would want to see, I figured the toys should follow suit. 

In other words... a Grundo-load of accessories!

     This is just the first wave... which would be sold separately, of course, from Teddy and his friends' airship, The Patchwork.
