Eric's Corner
Welcome to Eric's Corner
Hey — I'm Eric, the person behind Retro Grips. I design and build everything here by hand: the grips, the boxes, and the talking statues.
This corner of the site is where the more personal stuff lives. If you want to see the builds, the mods, and the retro gaming content, my YouTube channel is where that happens.
Talking Statues & Busts
Alongside the grips, I design and print a line of talking statues — historical figures, literary characters, and a few that are just meant to make you laugh. Each one has a built-in sound module loaded with recorded quotes. Press the button.
The collection includes Sherlock Holmes, Charles Spurgeon, Martin Luther, Jonathan Edwards, John Calvin, the Calvin vs. Arminius boxing sculpture, and a few others.

The Story So Far
Retro Grips started as a practical fix for long Game Boy sessions. The designs grew from there — more models, more colors, boxes to go with them, and eventually an entirely different product line in the statues.
Everything is made to order and ships from Lima, NY.
