Honda’s Holiday Toy Ads Continue To Make Us Nostalgic For the ’80s

Honda had us all weepy-eyed with nostalgia during its first run of holiday ads this year that used our favorite ’80s toys to lure us into buying a car. The strategy probably didn’t convince every child of the ’80s to run out and buy a new ride, but that’s ok because it means Honda just…

Honda’s Nostalgic Toy adverts go from bad to worse – For a Good Cause

I’m so glad the latest videos in Honda’s bizarre, toy-themed adverts are for good causes, because otherwise… well, these would be just as nightmarishly terrible, but there would be nothing hopeful to feel about after watching them!

Meet Female Skeletor, the presumed arch-nemesis of She-Man

At MegaCon 2012, the photographers at Short Fuse Pin-Ups shot cosplayer Freddie Nova showing off her absolutely boss sex-swapped Skeletor costume.

The 10 Strangest Short-Lived Supervillain Makeovers

Woah, This Samurai Warrior USB Gamepad is All Kinds of Freaky
