Hey, Ho! Ramones Become Garden Gnomes
In case you already own absolutely every type of Ramones-branded merchandise out there, get your online ordering fingers 
ready, because the Ranomes have arrived.
Created by UK company, Alternative Merchandise, the 9-10” gnome incarnations of Joey (Lo-Joe Ranome), Johnny (Li’l Johnny Ranome), Tommy (Teeny Tommy Ranome), and Dee Dee (Wee-Dee-Dee Ranome) are handcrafted in high-grade textured resin. Each set of this limited edition offering comes with ‘waah-tuuh-thaay-fuuh’ figures and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
“Welcome to the sound of the New York Underground, and we don’t mean the Subway… It’s those pip-squeak punk rockers – The Ranomes!” Reads part of the product description.
Fans can pre-order the Ranomes for £79.95.
Alternative Merchandise is also selling an Oasis-themed garden gnome set called Definitely Gnomey. These bad boys go for £89.95 and are available now.
There must be something interesting in the UK water, because last week we were introduced to a crafter over there who creates odd, yet pretty bang-on knitted Morrissey dolls.
I guess they just want to have something to do, tonight…tonight…tonight…
