Threadless Inspector Gadget “Vitruvianspector” T-Shirt

If you grew up in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s then you definitely watched (and loved) Inspector Gadget. The animated television series focused on the misadventures of the clumsy, robotically enhanced Inspector Gadget, his niece Penny and her dog Brain as they battled the evil forces of Dr. Claw. As with most of my favorite ‘80s properties, the show was ruined forever after the release of a live action film starring Matthew Broderick. Thankfully, we can now all relive the good old days by sporting this awesome new Inspector Gadget themed t-shirt from Threadless.com.

Vitruvianspector by Steven Lefcourt

The Inspector Gadget inspired t-shirt “Vitruvianspector” comes printed on a crème t-shirt and is currently available on sale at Threadless.com for just $10 (these shirts normally retail for $18). The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

Peanuts x Lacoste Polo Collection

In honor of the Peanuts’ 60th Anniversary, Lacoste will be teaming up with the long running comic strip on a line of limited edition polos. The entire Peanuts gang is getting in on the act as Lacoste reworks its iconic crocodile logo to incorporate Charlie Brown, Snoop, Linus and Woodstock.



When The Blot first heard about this collection I got really excited. I love Charles Schulz’ Peanuts and I’ve got enough Lacoste polos in my closet to form a proper rainbow. But when I saw the actual designs they left me feeling a bit “meh.” I just can’t figure out who these polos were designed for, as the Peanuts x Lacoste logs are a bit too in your face for my taste. While the execution left me feeling a little underwhelmed, I still like the idea behind the collection and hope to see further Peanuts x Lacoste polos in the future.



The Peanuts x Lacoste Polo Collection will go on sale October 2010 exclusively at Dover Street Market.

Custom Toxic Billy GID Green 10 Inch Mad’l

Last weekend MAD released a previously unannounced set of custom doodled Glow in the Dark Green 10” Mad’ls entitled Toxic Billy. For this set of five custom figures, MAD took his Billymon design from Mad’l Phase 1 and re-imagined the character as if he had been dipped in some toxic slime Incredible Hulk style. What we got was a 10” behemoth that now glows toxic green! What a great idea and even better execution!


Each hand painted custom Toxic Billy 10” GID Green Mad’l comes signed and numbered by MAD and packaged in the standard 10” DIY box. These retailed for $80 each in the MAD Toy Store, but sold out within an hour.
