When my kids were smaller I watched SpongeBob SquarePants with them all of the time. I’m not sure if that makes me a bad parent, a good one, or just a weird one. I remember the Christmas episode of the show where Patrick runs all around slurping on a candy cane. Now you can commemorate that moment with a very special Funko POP! collectable toy.
POP! vinyl figure collectors will definitely want to add these SpongeBob and Patrick Christmas characters for their collection. While Patrick is enjoying his candy cane way too much, SpongeBob has a look of wonder in his eyes as he holds a wrapped gift.
Each one can be pre-ordered at Entertainment Earth for $10.99 (Patrick here and SpongeBob here) with delivery in October, so you’ll have them in plenty of time to add them to your Christmas displays.

I always thought that the characters on Spongebob Squarepants were weird to begin with, but 3D character artist Miguel Vasquez has used his skills to create real life versions of SpongeBob and Patrick Star, and now they are truly nightmare fuel. I wouldn’t want to run into these guys in a dark alley. Or anywhere.
Patrick is working on some serious moobs here. You can see more images of these guys on Miguel’s ArtStation page. He is in the process of making a real-life version of Squidward too and I can’t wait to see it, just so my nightmares can be complete.
It’s gonna be a while until I can unsee this.

Oooooooooooo which car has a windshield out of which you can’t see? SpongeBob Sienna! In a silly bit of cross-promotion, Toyota reverse-pimped its 2015 Sienna with a SpongeBob Squarepants theme. The Nickelodeon mascot’s face covers the front of the vehicle, while a huge bubble blower sits on top. The rest of the car is painted blue and yellow and there are blue LEDs beneath the car’s chassis.
The minivan’s interior received a makeover as well. Each seat’s cover was designed after SpongeBob and his friends. The car’s interior and ceiling received an oceanic paint job while its floor has a sand gray carpet. But the best part of this mod is the steering wheel, which was replaced with a hilariously large ship’s wheel. There also appears to be an aquarium at the back of the car, which can be viewed through the rear windows.
Mrs. Puff wouldn’t approve of this minivan at all. It will go on tour in the US to promote The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, which will be in theaters in 2015.
