Well, now. That’s exactly what happens to action figures that my cousin would borrow, that their dog would then chew up, and his sister decide to “make pretty again” before returning to me.
They used to go into the trash. Who knew I could have sold them for more than I paid in the first place?
I’m clearly missing a trick here… If I unearth the ‘whore barbies’ I made when I was about 9 and sold them on etsy I could make a cool 16 dolla. Pimpin’.
“A fun one of a kind figurine made of recycled jewelry pieces and bits and pieces of odds and ends pulled from jars of broken jewelry purchased at the best Thrift Museum in town.” translates to “I just glued some random shit to an action figure”
seller claims to be “goth before goth was goth”…
why?
because you wore all black before it was all black?
or is it because you were different before finding some kids you could be the same with?
societal dynamics fascinate me.
After viewing the last few items, I think people are actually trying to be seen on “Regretsy.” Either that or there’s a whole bunch of crafters over medicated.
Coming soon to a theatre near you the next exciting spin off from the Star Wars Galaxy!
JarJar Warrior Princess!
Join him and his bedazzled comrades as they battle the Ke$ha army to defend their home planet Faaaaaaaaabulous and the glitter mines located there!
*explosion!*
#22 “Goth before goth was goth” would that make him a pre-Roman-era German or Frank?
(actually *I* was one of those. In the late 1970′s / early ’80′s they just called us “weird” and we only came out at SF [science fiction, not San Fransisco] conventions)
And to think I just threw out the Jabba the Hutt/Han Solo action tableau I got at a yard sale for a quarter. I could have blinged it all up and made a 6400% profit!
“…the evil who exist to cause us chaos and terror while wearing a headdress of purple tattered fabric, colored wire electrodes going directly into his brain and a speaker phone.”
That’s awfully specific evil. Is fighting that really a full time job?
Stormtrooper: Let me see your bedazzler.
Obi-Wan: [with a small wave of his hand] You don’t need to see his bedazzler.
Stormtrooper: We don’t need to see his bedazzler.
Obi-Wan: This isn’t the bedazzled action figure you’re looking for.
Stormtrooper: This isn’t the bedazzled action figure we’re looking for.
Obi-Wan: He can go back to bedazzling this Greedo figure.
Stormtrooper: You can go back to bedazzling this Greedo figure.
Obi-Wan: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along…
So I don’t get the whole typing-normally-then-suddenly-tYpInG-LikE-ThIs-thing. Is that a visual representation of the moment between when someone who would create a monstrosity like this has taken their meds and when they kick in?
Well, this makes me sort of happy I was out of the house for five and a half hours.
Till I saw this, I was disappointed in missing something. Now I see that I was much safer braving the college pedestrians and shitty traffic in Madison, WI.

Best “Thrift Museum” in town? You have more than one of something I’ve never heard of?
June 17, 2010 at 9:36 am
Maybe if I hold real still, it won’t see me
June 17, 2010 at 9:37 am
TMI – I did not need to know about the electrodes.
June 17, 2010 at 9:42 am
Although if I put that on the outside of my house, it would succeed at driving away everything. This may be a sound investment for a security system.
June 17, 2010 at 9:42 am
JarJar in drag would’ve made the prequels better.

It’s a cross between a pride parade costume and GWAR.

Also titled…JarJar, Warrior Princess.
June 17, 2010 at 9:48 am
good lord, jar jar’s been bedazzled
June 17, 2010 at 9:50 am
nothing says “man warrior” like “embellished with crystals, beads, gemstones and carrying a purple tinted shell sword”
June 17, 2010 at 9:51 am
“he is here to wage war…while wearing a headdress of purple tattered fabric…”
Like all the great warriors in history? (Though I hear Genghis Khan preferred chartreuse)
June 17, 2010 at 9:51 am
Looks like Jar Jar Bling.
June 17, 2010 at 9:55 am
I made a mistake.
I looked in their store.
I think I just lost some SAN from it.

Well done–George Lukas should hire you.

Me-sa bling-bling brings all the jedi to the yard,
and they’re like, hey you got a cool sword,
and I’m like, I’m cooler than picard…
…I just made myself sad.

THANK GOD…I’d hate to think someone made the same mistake twice!!!
June 17, 2010 at 10:17 am
best thrift museum, eh?
i didn’t know that the salvation army and goodwill shops were known as musuems.
learn something new every day!

It’s the “speaker phone” that makes it all futuristic and stuff.

Not only is Jar Jar the most hated character from Star Wars someone went and did this to him. It’s a really bad day to be him.
June 17, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Jar Jar GaGa! = CAA CAA
Rah – Rah ohh LAA REGRESTY ROMANCE!
June 17, 2010 at 12:50 pm
He’s only 3 1/2 inches high! Surely you won’t be getting a big enough ratio of jewels per dollar for that price.
June 17, 2010 at 12:57 pm
what’s with the random capitalizing in the title?
June 17, 2010 at 1:01 pm
He has googly eyes for kneecaps!

Princess Valhalla Hawkwind and Jar-Jar Binks get married in Vegas and do the nasty at Circus Circus and the result is… THAT…

#35 mnemonides :
“What’s up with the not Greek “Greek” names? Andraz? Beorhthere? WTF?”
Someone found an index of names in their Book of Mormon/Bible/Scientology and went nuts! Oh, bad phrasing on my part. They were already nuts…. Hmm….
August 7, 2010 at 3:25 pm
this is why jarjar should never go to a crafts and arts fair drunk
August 23, 2010 at 11:30 am
Mwahahahahahahahaha I always hated JarJar…. I see someone ELSE did too!

Linked here from the actual seller in a zOMGRegretsy thread on the cupcakeland forums.
I’ve never laughed so hard at one of April’s descriptions. 2 hours later and that snark still makes me giggle.
