A lovely vinyl toy from Dark Horse, Cornelius is here to celebrate 100 years of Kellogg's.
fudgy wudgys
Fudgy Wudgys are sweet of the month for April. Delicious. And brilliantly simple. No strategic name development here. What's the product? Fudge. What's the name? Fudgy Wudgy. OK. Stick a couple of smiling kids on there and we're done.

Who could resist this fantastic Linus? Especially as he's clearly destined to grow up and become a planner.
He has everything a planner could need - security blanket, philosophy book and chatting wall.
sweets of the month - december 2005
These are brilliant sweets. Any company that still has 'works' is alright by me, especially if they're based in Dudley and have a random large dog as a registered trademark.
comics of the month - december 2005
Two splendid comics this month, the first is commercial success by graham annable, from grickle, in a very simple, smart and amiable way he points out the ubiquity of brands in people's lives.
Andy Smith's little book is just energetic, mad and gorgeous and talks about target people. Genius.
Toy Of The Month - December 2005
I'm very happy with this. Very pleasingly matte. It's a Kubrick Special Force SAS Assault Vehicle. The back door opens and the roof comes off so it's the perfect place for the youth marketing executive in your life to store paperclips. Get them one for Christmas. Made by medicom. This guy likes it too.
Comic of the Month - November 2005
I know it's not new but I do love Ministry Of Space. It's like an incredibly cynical, bitter version of Dan Dare. Warren Ellis sat down and imagined how the world would be if Britain had seized Wehrner Von Braun et al and had led the march into space. Marvelous stuff.
Board Of The Month - November 2005
I really like this Landscape deck. Very fond of the anachronism of having a typewriter on there. Don't know exactly why it seems anachronistic, but it does.
Toy Of The Month - November 2005
This is Opera Dude from Tokyo Plastic. You'll probably recognise him (her?) from one of their award winning flash animations. You can buy him here.

I love these Sport Beans. The best products are always collisions of the unexpected - here it's energy drinks and sweeties. And I also love how seriously they take this, the Sport Beans FAQ addresses the question: how should Sport Beans jelly beans be used?"
