And then yesterday… 20 giant boxes arrived.

In each box is a penguin!!!!!!!!

And you know me, i couldn’t help but line them all up and take lots of pics…

… rearrange them all, and take more pics… (really, i think i’m finally understanding the need for a photo assistant, it takes a lot of time and energy to move 20 penguins around! I can’t even imagine trying to make a stop action video with them all… yet.)

So remember that giant 3L Veuve Clicquot Yellowboam? Well the size and color of the orange penguins was so close i couldn’t resist posing them together… also stuck one of the broken feet with the bottle… (then photoshopped a second one for symmetry!)

Ok here’s the sad more scientific part… these are the two broken penguins! And the crazy plasticy-ness smelled like marzipan. I kid you not. Yes, it could be toxic to ingest, no i didn’t taste it!

So for those with a morbid or product design curiosity ~ here’s what’s inside!

And don’t worry the green one is being saved! Super glue to the rescue!
