Coming to Target stores this fall: Gwen Stefani the doll. Gwen's dubbed the line -- wait for it -- "Love. Angel.

Music. Baby. Fashion Dolls.

"
Via AP: "Each 10-inch doll looks like the platinum-blond rocker or one of her Harajuku Girl dancers and comes with Stefani-inspired collectibles such as posters, pocket mirrors or trading cards."
From left to right, here are Tick-Tock Gwen, Bananas Gwen, and Cool Gwen.
Gavin doll sold separately never, so you can totally make Bananas Gwen give your plastic Gerard Way a handjob.


Finally, a Stereogum-relevant revelation from the weekend's Comic-Con. that toymaker SOTA unveiled a line of vinyl Fall Out Boy figurines! This puts the band among a motley crew of music action figures: KISS, The Beatles, Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Biggie Smalls, Johnny Cash, Jerry Garcia, Jim Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, Insane Clown Posse, , and (tiny eyeliner sold separately).


$12 each at Hot Topic this fall.
Please someone make a Brandon Flowers be@rbrick! Then we can act out the most awesome emo/pop doll deathmatch and put it on YouTube.


When Stereogum got our Buddha Machine a few months ago, we didn't quite know what to make of it. The iPod-looking device, brainchild of electronica artists FM3, has got a volume control, headphone jack, and a switch that allows you to choose between nine ambient loops (available as MP3s on ). The packaging, and even the batteries, are in Chinese, so we were compelled to just turn it on and play with it.

Which is the point. Is it art? A toy?

A bizarre novelty for sure. But we never predicted how this drone box would take off.
was so enamored it rated Buddha Machine an 8.

2! And now comes word that Amoeba is consistently selling out of the curiosity, along with rumors that Urban Outfitters has their eyes on distributing it. Brian Eno bought eight.

There are .
Stereogum's teamed up with the exclusive Buddha Machine retailer to give away five of these babies. They come in multiple colors, so we can't tell you which you'll get if you win, but if this zen gizmo does what it's supposed to after you turn it on, your eyes will be closed anyway.
