More like off-brand Halloween lol

I’m metal hero friend!

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

Should have named Miguel the Contractor.

[–] Zeshade@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

It's what I used to think of Dota character names (compared to their lol counterparts).

[–] silverchase@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Terrorblade? More like terrible with a blade!

[–] Zeshade@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

(Or Warcraft) Basically by profession rather than with their first names.

Sounds like the rule 34 version.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

This is the one that got me. I have zero faith in it loading.

The artist's shop has prints of this comic but not stickers, but he has other stickers of his work. Maybe he'd entertain a request to do some stickers of these.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Those would be cool! I wish I could find a site where you could do an affordable run of just like 20 stickers. Either you pay out the ass or you buy over 100 of one sticker at a time.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I want this as a sticker now.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 2 hours ago

And how will you ah... ahem, be choosing to pay for said sticker? :-P

[–] SpaghettiYeti@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Gotprint.com Lightning labels

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Thanks. The only problem with those is that they don't cut out the sticker around the shape of the image, which just isn't as cool for a sticker. But I'll bear it in mind.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 10 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Redbubble isn't too bad if you get like 5 they cut the price for all stickers. My wife uploads stuff there and then orders it haha

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, they're not terrible, but still more than I would pay for what's essentially a laminated printout that costs them pennies. Plus, like you said, you have to order five different stickers to get a discount.

I am doing a fun and silly thing with my daughter where whenever she gets an A on a test, she gets to put a sticker of one of our dogs on a world map. We have two dogs. I basically had to plan to order over 100 stickers of each dog if I didn't want to pay out the ass. I ended up just ordering over 100 of just one dog for $25. A good per-sticker price, but it would have been nice to just order 20 of each dog and not pay a ridiculous amount.

I worked in a similar industry for a couple of years doing graphic design (custom box printing) and I know how little this sort of thing costs. Especially when your customers are submitting their own designs and you don't need to do anything because it's all automated.

That whole meme was made because "cheese pervert."

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

I'm not complaining.

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

They just called her 'Thursday' where I bought it

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

What the hell is wrong with her body?! I can't even figure out what's wrong proportionally!

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 7 points 7 hours ago

Her waist appears to be halfway up her ribcage (this may or may not be normal, but it doesn't look right), and her legs seem to be short. One or both of these might be caused by foreshortening effects caused by both cameras or the way she's stood.

The wig is also enormous compared to her face, which suggests it's about half as large again as that hairstyle would be if natural, which also throws off proportions.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

They know their costume is poorly made, but it's cheaper to get a model with a very particular body type to model it, than it is to fix the product.

[–] AHorseWithNoNeigh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm a Space Dog, half space, half dog! I'm my own best friend.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Lol. I can still hear John Candy's delivery. He had genius delivery. RIP John Candy.

Edit, also I'm glad I'm not the only one who went straight from Space Dog to Barf.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

What a loss to the world his early death was. Can you imagine if he was still around today making movies? Think of the comedy potential of a movie starring John Candy, John Belushi and Chris Farley!

[–] HairyHarry@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Ricky's no longer allowed within a mile of any school or within 1500 yards of pluto.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

R - I - C - K - E - Y

R - A - double T!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

He's a maniac, maaaniaaac, hell yeah brother

And he's flexing like he's never flexed before

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Balding muscle maniac with fumanchu.

Every other one does not include part of their original names.

[–] Ethalis@jlai.lu 7 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Reminds me of the french politician who talked about "Larry Skywalker and that weird bear"

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I would totally watch the adventures of Larry Skywalker and the Weird Bear.

Especially if the Weird Bear also gets a light saber.

That's a mawg, thank you very much! Half man, half dog, he's his own best friend

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

I thought the costumes were meant to be creepy

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

I wouldn't want to encounter the Cheese Pervert in a dark alley.

[–] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 5 points 8 hours ago

You don’t find the Cheese Pervert creepy?

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 5 points 8 hours ago

Would you like to share a room with Cheese pervert?

No-Name Halloween Michael ..Utterly disappointed.. ._.

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

It's like one of those Disney rip-off cartoons that somehow has a thousand sequels.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I'm just putting on a muscle shirt (and no I'm not muscular) and call myself a Hulking Maniac
