Jen's Gems: Forces of Destiny, Pocket Princesses, & New Figment Goodies!

Time for more of my favorite internet finds!

For those of you who still use Twitter (anyone? Bueller? Bueller?) The Last Blockbuster is SO FUNNY. It's actually been going for over a year, but somehow I just found it this week. (If you're not on Twitter, just click over and read everything on their page.)

To give you an idea, it's like this:

It's similar in tone to Epcot Centre, which I also love. (Dizgeeks, if you haven't seen that one, GO.)

Speaking of vintage Epcot, there's some deliciously retro merch coming out for its 35th anniversary soon, and it is PURDY.

I love this orange and purple color scheme. (Surprise, surprise.) 

And look! Figment!

That little wristlet bag is Ca-YUTE.

Go see the rest (there's lots!) at Inside the Magic.

On the crafty front, these DIY plush notebooks by 2 Cats & 1 Doll are surprisingly fabulous:

There are so many clever little tips in here, from using a kitchen sponge and socks to how they made the unicorn eyes and minion "hair." My favorite is Pusheen, though, because that tail bookmark is everything that is right in this world.

Oh, hey! You know those AMAZING Star Wars: Forces of Destiny dolls hitting stores this month?

 The same set that also has Leia in her Endor outfits?

Woot woot!

Well GET THIS: the art on the retail boxes is by Kellee Riley, an amazing artist and friend I've featured here on Epbot!

(Apparently there's more art on the backs, but I can't find any pics of those online yet. Have any of you found them?)

 Kellee just announced this on her Facebook page, and it's the cherry on top of an already amazing line. SO HAPPY.

And since I'm on a Disney streak: you guys DO follow Pocket Princesses by Amy Mebberson, right?

This week's edition is the entire state of Florida right now:

Wait, one more:

 :D

 Go follow Mebberson on Facebook, Tumblr, and/or Instagram to see the rest. There are TONS, and they're all hilarious and adorable. (Amy also has 2 volumes of officially licensed Princess comics through Disney, so definitely check those out!)

And finally, I'll leave you with a moment of joyous-squealing-beyond-the-range-of-human-hearing:

Taken at The Sloth Institute, vid found here.

Baby sloth first applauds you, then gives you a prosh lil' head tilt, because things really aren't so bad now, are they? 

(SQUEEEEEEEE)

Oh! I keep forgetting to mention this, but did you know you can subscribe to Epbot via e-mail? There's a fancy new box in the sidebar to plug in your address, so you'll get notices every time I post!

It also helps to like the Epbot FB page, though you may need to give it a visit every now and then to remind the algorithm you really DO want to see me. (Or choose "See First" under the Following tab - I think that still works?)

Thanks, gang!
