Astronaut Ape and other toys

A few toys that recently caught my eye:



Bertie Mk2.





As far as I can tell, it's the X-11 Witch Neuroi figure from Dimension Diver based on a show called Strike Witches.

Camel Active; Zombie-Killing Native American Girl

Nik Daum posted another terrific gallery of photos taken in China. Above is a sign for Camel Active, purpose unknown (but a surprisingly popular name?). Below is one of many excellent photos from the Beijing theme park "Happy Valley Amusement Park."



A wild west attraction featuring undead Native Americans? Definitely an underrepresented genre. This video shows off the park's attractions, but I didn't spot any Native-Americans zombies:



Coincidentally, earlier this week I saw this zombie-slaying Native American girl illustration:
