Don’t have a playground nearby? No backyard? Not even a tree that you can attach a tire and rope to? Well, that’s downright sad, but dry those eyes. This door frame swing is here to help.

The indoor door frame swing can be set up on most door frames to give your kid hours of fun. I’m not sure how safe it is, but they say it holds “in excess of 100 lbs.” Your kid may end up on the floor a few times, but that’s a small price to pay for bringing the playground indoors, right?

It will cost you $55.99(USD) from Amazon. Just watch it as you walk around your home. You kid might slam into you and knock you down the stairs on his upswing.

Final Fantasy VII was the first game in the FF series to have 3D graphics. Those graphics probably look laughable now, but the squished low polygon rendering of the characters make for really adorable figurines. Look! It’s freakin’ Biggs and Wedge! Well, Gaia’s Biggs and Wedge.

The figurines were designed by Joaquin Baldwin and are printed using full color sandstone. All of the main heroes are included along with some of the villains and many of the secondary characters, including Sephiroth, Zack Fair, a Moogle, a Chocobo and the Turks.

Ride on Cid’s airship and head to Shapeways to order the figurines. They cost between $13 to $32 (USD) each. One funny thing about this set is that Joaquin seems to have priced each figure based on the amount of material needed to print it. This means Cait Sith and the Chocobo are the priciest ones, even though Cloud, Sephiroth and many others in the set are more popular than those two. The cheapest of course is Barrett’s kid Marlene.

This custom 7″ action figure of the Crimson Typhoon wasn’t made by triplets. It was modded by toymaker/jaeger meister/apocalypse canceller John Mallamas aka Jin Saotome.

Jin modified NECA’s official action figure of Pacific Rim‘s Chinese mecha to make it more poseable and attractive. He replaced its arm hinges and added ball joints on its ankles. He also replaced the hands using parts from Transformers action figures and made a plasma blast prop for its left hand. He also installed an LED on its eye and added a ton of sculpting detail. Finally, he repainted the entire toy, adding details like wear and tear.

Jin put the action figure up for auction on eBay, but it’ll most likely be gone by the time you read this. But he’s also going to sell custom action figures of Pacific Rim‘s main mech Gipsy Danger as well as of the Knifehead Kaiju, so watch out for those on his deviantART page. He should make his own take on a mecha-Kaiju.

It’s too bad that we all abandoned the simple joys of riding a Big Wheel when we were young. Well, we no longer have to live without the exhilaration of the low-rider trike, no matter what age we are. This is the High Roller. It is a $600(USD) Big Wheel-style trike made for specifically for adults.

Awesome. Take my money and point me toward the tallest hill. It comes with an adjustable seat for riders from 5’2″ to 6’6″ tall and up to 275-lbs. It also has a front brake, a bell, tassels, and plastic rear wheels for drifting. Everything you love about the Big Wheel is here – just now you can fit your big ass on it.

Now maybe we can get some adult Big Wheel racing action going. I wonder how long it takes for the wheels on this one to wear down to nothing.

Pac-Man and Yahtzee are two of my favorite childhood memories. Both games provided endless hours of fun (and frustration) so what could be better than a game that combines the two?

The Yahtzee Pac-Man Collector’s Edition plays just like regular Yahtzee, but the dice faces have been replaced with ghosts and fruit. And the shaker. Well, the shaker is the best part of the game. It’s Pac-Man himself.

So what are you waiting for? Roll yourself five blinkies and head on over to Amazon, where you can grab the Pac-Man Yahtzee set for $24.99(USD).
