If you're a craftsperson of any kind, you'll know very well that you have to start dealing with Christmas-related items quite early. I've been doing just that lately, and even my lemmings are getting into the festive spirit*!
The outfit is the coat and hat from a Santa outfit for 16" teddy...

I'm not a fan of 3D platform games. I invariably find them to be dull chores, though sometimes I will gel with the characters, settings, and music. Such is the case with Ratchet & Clank, and several others - I love them and their adventures, but the games simply aren't for me.
An early...
Still needs a bit of tidying - but she works!
Here is how it looks, which was pretty much what I was trying to achieve actually.
OK - well now the miggy can see the drive, and whilst there are some bits to sort out, putting in the OS 3.9 CD does exactly what it should.
After a bit of dremel related action on the white case, its now fitted, and I will slide it under the Amiga once I sort out the cabling issues.
Here is a...
After a short sojourn into the world of the C64, I was again gripped by the Amiga Fever this summer.
I had known for a while that my CF card performance on the IDE side was poor, and had not been able to remedy this. I therefore decided to look out for an IDE-Fix Express. These are however...
Now, given that my SCSI dream was unfulfilled, and although I had a slightly quicker CF setup (well about 4x faster than before – but still not quite the heights I was looking for), the fever remained unquenched.
So, what to do. My miggy is raised on legs due to the angled simm slot on my 1260...
Well, all of this added activity inside my case means that after quite a a while, I am getting some minor screen corruption - this is exactly what I had before the fan went on the Indy and the heat sink on Alice. I reckon there is not enough airflow.
So what I have done is added an extraction...
Hi All,
Given my current adventures in the world of the Amiga, I thought that rather than starting a thread, I would try out this fancy new blog system. Never having done a blog before, you might have to cut me some slack!
I will add to this as events progress, but thought I would start with a...
I've written about items based on arcade machines, before. This entry covers another such item, except it's not *quite* shaped enough like one to have been included in the previous write-up.
This is a business card holder, designed to look like a Pac-Man cocktail cabinet as viewed from above...
Time to update my NinjaRabbit's Lemmings Collection series again. This is only a small update, as the series' current treatment means that it sees no official merchandise these days. In fact, all but one of the items in this update were made by myself!

There were a couple of well-known pop singles based on video games back in the early 1990s. Tunes based on Super Mario Land and Tetris were famously released, and spent some time high up in the UK charts.
There was also a second Mario single, "Go, Mario, Go!", which seemed to get no publicity...
Earlier this year, the UK arm of McDonalds announced, quite out of the blue, that they would be featuring the Super Mario franchise in their Happy Meals. There were eight toys, with four being static figures, and four having some sort of interactive feature (I only got a couple of them, as I'm...
When it comes to some neglected, under-appreciated, or otherwise defunct computer and video game series and brands, there tends to be little or no merchandise available. This is frustrating, but where there's a will, there's a way, and the internet has enabled a boom in the exchange of custom...
In a rare instance of currently-available merchandise being covered here, here is a luggage tag modelled after the original "house brick" Game Boy, in its classic colour-scheme.
As the hot weather hits, many are now preparing for their summer holidays - what better way to label your luggage...
To mark the grand occasion of Pac-Man being added to the roster of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, here's a post about a Pac-Man plush!
This is a "DX" type Japanese arcade prize plush, released in 2005 to mark Pac-Man's 25th anniversary. This classic look for Pac-Man is the one...
In a surprise announcement today, Nintendo revealed a line of NFC (Near Field Communication) toys, which will be compatible with numerous current and future video games. They will work directly with the NFC transceiver on the Wii U GamePad, and an IR-based peripheral for the 3DS family of...
Partly inspired by the Game Boy game, Pokemon (which was released in Japan in February of 1996, but would not see localisation into other languages until 1998 and 1999), BanDai's keychain virtual pet toy, the Tamagotchi (which was soon followed by Digimon, which was even more inspired by...
From one cute spacefaring creature to another, today we have the adventurous Lombax, Ratchet, and his little robot buddy, Clank, to show.
In a rarity for video game plushes, these two are stated to have been made at 1:6 scale, which gives us a little bit of game trivia: According to these...
Landing on Earth, fresh from the Lylat System, here's Fox McCloud!
When Star Fox (or "Starwing", in PAL regions) was released on the SNES in 1993, a series of plush toys of the four main pilot characters - Fox McCloud, Peppy Hare, Slippy Toad, and Falco Lombardi - was made, and they were...
