We've seen Sherlock Holmes <a href="http://ihrc.umn.edu/assets/img/Holmes001_000.jpg" target="_blank">figurines</a>. We've seen Sherlock Holmes <a href="http://amzn.to/1DvmrV0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">action figures</a>. Heck, we've even got a Sherlock Holmes <a href="http://amzn.to/1IN7mdc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bobblehead</a>. But the latest iteration should prove to be a bigger craze.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you haven't heard of Funko Pop! Vinyl figures, they're stylized miniatures that stand just under 4 inches (10 cm) tall with extremely large heads, designed after pop culture icons. For example, there is a Pop! Marvel set, a <a href="http://amzn.to/1MahqCm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pop! <i>Walking Dead</i> set</a>, a <a href="http://amzn.to/1eXC7o0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pop! <i>Game of Thrones</i> set</a> - even a <a href="http://amzn.to/1MS904f" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pop! <i>Monty Python and the Holy Grail</i> set</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But the one you're here for is the <a href="http://amzn.to/1MahzWs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pop! <i>Sherlock</i> set</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see above, the set comes with six different figures - two Sherlocks, John, Mycroft, Jim Moriarty and Irene Adler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can get <a href="http://amzn.to/1IN8mhh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the standard Sherlock</a>, poised and ready for action in his gloves, great coat and scarf:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or there's always a more homey <a href="http://amzn.to/1eXDnHD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sherlock, with his violin</a> handy:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Working things from behind the scenes in the government, <a href="http://amzn.to/1gPCXoJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mycroft has his trusty umbrella by his side</a>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The woman makes an appearance as well - <a href="http://amzn.to/1PaZsje" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">adventuress Irene Adler</a> (played by Lara Pulver, who was on <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose41" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 41</a>), with her handy mobile phone (locked, we assume) is resplendent in her white dress: </div>

Sherlockian Oval Stickers

"Apply 221B" [NAVA]</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Back in stock after a few years, it's the oval sticker that the Sherlockian world can claim as its own.<br />
<br />
You've likely seen the oval stickers made famous on automobiles all over Europe: GB (Great Britain), IRL (Ireland), D (Germany), NL (Netherlands), etc. Or perhaps you've seen their American cousins: MV (Martha's Vineyard), OBX (Outer Banks), as well as any of the two-letter state abbreviations. We've even seen some fun ones like WINE (Napa Valley) and USMC (US Marine Corps).<br />
<br />
Years ago, we were bothered that Sherlockians didn't have one of their own. And then we found ourselves behind a vehicle sporting an oval sticker reading "26.2" — the length of a marathon. And we quickly realized that more than letters could sit within the logo.<br />
<br />
We immediately set out to create our own version and we came up with the 221B oval sticker, which sold out fairly quickly. We've added an 1895 version as well, so you can tell everyone that you may drive a horseless carriage, but "it's always 1895."<br />
<br />
Select the design or designs that work for you — including any you might like to give as a gift or include in holiday cards this year. Make your vehicle an homage to Sherlock Holmes. Don't drive? No problem — use it on your laptop, refrigerator, pinboard or even your cat. Well, maybe not your refrigerator, let's not be silly.<br />
