Caddyshack Doody Action Bar by Forces of Dorkness

by
"That thing in the pool from that golf movie released in 1980"

If you're a golfer, you've seen it.  If you like quality comedy, you've seen it.  If you are an actual human, you've seen it... if you haven't seen it, move along.

So there's this movie, and in this movie there is this scene when everyone gets a break and they spend a nice relaxing afternoon at the pool.  During this scene, teenagers being teenagers, one opens a candy bar, and another asks for a bite, and when the first says no, into the pool doth the second one toss said candy bar.  Well, this particular brand of candy bar has a strong resemblance to something we all create, and unfortunately some tend to leave in pools, creating the comedic chaos that leads to an emptying of the pool, and revelation that it is not a doody and actually a candy bar that has a name close to a famous baseball player.

This is a tribute to the classic movie "Caddyshack", one of those films that can be watched over and over, lines can be quoted, laughs can be had, and now you can own the "unofficial" star of the film.
 
 
2 versions of this release are available, one as the name of the candy bar, and one as "doody" so your choice is the before, or the after.  Each version is limited to 18 pieces (golf has 18 holes...get it?) for this release.

Each package come with an inedible resin cast of said candy bar and custom card art and packaging from The Forces of Dorkness.  

This is the perfect gift for that special someone who appreciates an amazing film.

Each package is 9" h x 5.25" wide x 1.5" deep and ships with a couple of stickers as well to show how much you love The Forces of Dorkness

Shipping in the US is $3.99 via USPS.

Note:  This is not a fucking toy.  It is also not edible, and more so it is only for ages 18 and up.

The figure is available in the FoD store: http://forcesofdorkness.storenvy.com

Creature Features haven't been the same since the 1980s. PORTAL POPPERZ is going to change that. 
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1290260995/portal-popperz-an-80s-style-creature-feature

PORTAL POPPERZ is a 1980s-style creature feature in the spirit of films like Gremlins, that expertly balanced their laughs with screams.

An augmented reality game called Portal Popperz has become a cultural phenomenon, and it seems like everyone has their eyes glued to their smartphones trying to catch the digital creatures. But when a motley crew of misfits discover the Popperz are spawning in the real world, it's up to our unlikely heroes to halt their path of destruction.

Directed by special effects artist and toy designer, Jerry Macaluso, Portal Popperz will focus on traditional practical effects, puppets and good old-fashioned rubber monster suits.

We here at Tenacious are very happy to support Jerry in this awesome project. Jerry is always someone we enjoy talking to at the conventions, and he has been a consistent supporter of all of our Kickstarter efforts. A solid dude. This flick looks rad and we cant wait to see the finished product!

Lots of rewards, including film credits, digital downloads of the film, posters, DVDs, and resin toys! For $2500 you can even GET KILLED IN THE FILM which is pretty fucking epic.

Aerobicide, The Extreme Ninja Workout!

Aerobicide, The Extreme Ninja Workout on Kickstarter.


Introducing Aerobicide, a retro-action comic book set in the 1980s. Featuring: Aerobics, Heavy Metal, Yuppies, Weightlifters, and Ninjas.
Original Stretch Goals were met in 2 weeks!

Intro from the artist and creator, Terry Parr.

Hi, my name is Terry Parr from Shonuff Studio. Aerobicide is my personal passion project. I have been wanting to do a creator owned comic, starring an Asian-American hero for a while. 
Characters of Aerobicide.

I also love the 1980's and really wanted to channel that energy into a comic book. I decided to take Heavy Metal, Punk rock, BMX, Breakdancing, Aerobics, Yuppies, VHS, and Ninjas... put them into a blender and Aerobicide: The Extreme Ninja Workout was the result! Aerobicspoitation as it's finest.

A totally RAD 80's caricature tier!

We (Shonuff! Studio) never expected an "outsider" indie comic to be fully funded in the 1st 24hrs!
