It's Friday, it's kind of cold, yet sunny outside, and you sure as hell don't want to be stuck in work.

The words 'vinyl' and 'toy' should never have been put side by side. At least not when it comes to describing those plastic miniature sculptures that are most often used as cubicle decor.

How much do you want to prance across this NES controller, which just so happens to be the world's largest gamepad?
