Hello and good morning! For today's product review we have a....giant syringe? Wait no, I'm being told it's technically a "rain gauge"? But who cares, it's whatever we want it to be!

First off, James had to run it through his....rigorous testing methods?

And then we decided to make a game of ring toss! Ashton took the weird little stopper out of it but it didn't really do much, so then we threw tape!

But then Sarah went all "engineering" on us and took them all back 😭

So of course, we had to turn it into something friend shaped.

It uh...got kinda weird after that...

And so our personification of tube-shaped friends trend continues! After a few tests, and having Rain Wilson with us all morning, we here at Dawn Guard give him the rating of TALLY!

We're here again and looking at our current silent auctions, and the ones in the near future. These first two are running RIGHT NOW and end at 10am PST today!

First is this adorable little crocheted Banana Cori! This 30cm long plush of Coriander Dickinson, as seen in several classic Crapshots, is made with 100% polyester jumbo yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill stuffing. Limbs, face, and hair are made from acrylic yarn. Facial features are felted on with acrylic.

Next is this incredible Kirby Super Star Ultra Sprite Stitch! Do you love Kirby? Do you want a LOT of Kirby? Well, now you can have over sixty-thousand stitches worth of Kirby and his friends, enemies, and meals!
Measuring at a width of 18.25 inches and a height of 11.50 inches, you'll have 52 different sprites of poyo-tastic delight to brighten up a room and bring a smile to your face.

And again, these end at 10am PST, so go get at these quick!

After those end, we've got two new ones that will start at 10am PST and end at 6pm PST!

First is a Custom Made Clone Wars-Style "Sister" Action Figure. Made from authentic Hasbro components and custom resin retoolings, this Clone Wars styled unofficial "Sister" action figure is detailed with various acrylics, including Citadel paints and Louise Sugden's Monument hobbies paint range. Introduced in Queen's Hope by E. K. Johnston, Sister has been quickly becoming a fan favourite.

And the last one we're showcasing is this amazing and playable The Harp Road! Lap Harps are considered to be an easy to learn instrument that are perfect for any skill level. This lap harp has been designed to resembled the iconic desert road. Made with blackened walnut, paduk, white oak, and beautiful curly maple this lap harp is both functional and beautiful.
