For more than 30 years Archie McPhee has been bringing strange and amazing things to the world. We design and manufacture the kinds of impractical items that make life better. Our owner Mark Pahlow started the business selling rubber lizards and other crazy things out of his house in L.A. Over the years the business grew. Hits like the Punching Nun and Librarian Action Figure (based on real-life librarian Nancy Pearl) helped us grow into what we are today: the premier source for weird stuff in the world. Come be weird with us!
