I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW WE HAD THAT: THE BIG LEBOWSKI ACTION FIGURES!

With The Record Exchange’s huge selection of CDs, vinyl and DVD/Blu-ray, it’s sometimes easy to forget that we have several other quality products as well. I Bet You Didn’t Know We Had That is our attempt to spread the word on one of these products each week.

This week’s item: Big Lebowski action figures!

Putting the “big” in Big Lebowski, these giant vinyl figures of The Dude and Walter come complete with real cloth clothing, bowling balls and other movie-accurate accessories!

We have a whole bunch of other action figures, too, from movie characters to historical figures to Jesus — the O.G. Jesus, not Jesus Quintana. You said it, man.

Boise’s Biggest and Best Gift Shop is all dressed up for Valentine’s Day. Where you at? Make your dinner reservations yet? Find that perfect gift? Did you even think about getting a card?

The Record Exchange Gift Shop can help you with all of it (well, not the dinner reservations), and with serious style to boot.

Fourteen hot south-of-the-border artists conjure up 18 new designs in this bold new series. Blind-boxed in Jesse Hernandez’s inspired indigenous packaging, each distinctive Dunny celebrates La Raza.

On the tails of 2007’s hotter-than-habanero Series I, the second celebration of Dunny Azteca includes designs by anais e3, Oscar Mar, Jose Leandro Cordova Lucas, Izzie Ramirez, OCHOstore, Michelle Prats, Tepetonga, Luis Mata, Dani Bravo, The Beast Brothers, Jesse Hernandez, MARKA27, MIGUEL DE LA BARRACUDA and Saner.

IN THE RECORD EXCHANGE GIFT SHOP: 2010 BEST TOY WINNER UGLYDOLL!

Congratulations to Uglydoll, winner of the 2010 Best Toy award from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, the independent guide to children’s media!

Here in The Record Exchange Gift Shop, we’ve been big fans of Uglydoll for a while, and we’ll give this one a quick “what they said” and let the Oppenheim folks tell you why:

“It will be hard to choose just one of the terrific new Uglydolls this season. Consider Ninja Batty Shogu, a black fleece fellow with big blue eyes, red nose and three yellow teeth. Or consider Wippy, a pink rabbit-like creature with tall ears and gray eyes and two yellow teeth. There is also coral-colored Mynus, who has a singular bump on her head and a goofy smile. Her tag says she’s the one you should turn to when you are in trouble.

Also a good choice, Pointy Max, a green fellow with a very pointy head and one all-seeing eye smack dab in the middle of his face. Oh, there are others, such as Pink Flatwoodsey with a tall pointy head; Ket, a bluish looking dog-like doll; MIJ, who seems to be asking a question; and Picksey who claims to be able to inhabit several spaces at the same time.

Honestly, you’ll have to make up your own mind. Dolls in series often run out of steam, but this year’s Uglydolls are really even better than in the past.”

The Uglydoll family comes in three different sizes and a multitude of colors, plus Uglydoll beanies! Pay a visit to the RX Gift Shop and check ’em out today!

IT’S NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S CHRISTMAS IN THE RX GIFT SHOP

Here at Downtown Boise’s Biggest and Best Gift Shop, we may champion the unconventional, but that doesn’t mean we’re a Scrooge about the holidays.

No, we like to celebrate the season, and celebrate it the only way we know how — funktastically. And that means unique, kooky, sometimes blush-inducing ornaments, decorations and greeting cards. And the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Now, as for gift-giving, there’s a reason it’s call a gift shop, and ours is chock full of ideas, including rock ‘n’ roll calendars, music tees and collectibles, jewelry, home wares, books, stocking surprises, goofy office gifts, action figures (now including Big Lebowski!), toys (including organic and BPA-free items!), board games, posters, stickers and much much more.

We have traditional stuff, too — so don’t let Jack Skellington or that Christmas card with the f-bomb scare you or Grandma away.
