Rsin's "Whispers of the Dead" Art Show at SubUrban Vinyl

    It's time for another installment of "Life Lessons Intended on Keeping You Alive" with your host, me.  Life lesson:  If you hear the dead whispering to you it is time to pack your things and move.  Nothing good comes of it.  I've seen Paranormal Activity 1-4 and let me tell you, I am not up for any occult shenanigans.  Granted, the fourth movie was terrible and they really need to come to the understanding that they've run out of story to tell, but it still stands as a testament to not mess around with ghosts.  Or video tape yourself doing everything, cause you're not that important.  Unless you're Kanye West, but I know he doesn't read this cause there's too many words and stuff.

    I will make one exception to my rule, and it involves Rsin's solo show at SubUrban Vinyl tomorrow.  The man has been forgoing sleep to pack as much original art into this show as possible and it will not disappoint.  The opening reception is tomorrow night from 6-9pm and the first 40 people there will get a goodie bag that will contain a raffle ticket to win an original custom toy.  You gotta be in it to win it, so go and see what it's all about and buy yourself some cool art.

Glow in the Dark Octopups from Nathan Hamill x 3DRetro Release Today!

    I like when things glow in the dark because I lose everything.  If all of my important things glowed I could just turn off the lights and wait for them to magically appear.  Unless they didn't get a chance to charge up their magic glow juice before I lost them, in which case none of this would work and I've just wasted your time trying to tell you how awesome it would be.  Moving on.

    Nathan Hamill and 3DRetro are releasing these glow in the dark Octopups today at noon Pacific time for the low low price of $10 each.  And they're doing an Instagram contest for everyone that buys one.  Here are the details:


 1. Buy a Glow Octopup
2. Take a creepy, kooky, mysterious or spooky Halloween-related photo with your Octopup.
3. Post it on Instagram and Hashtag #Octopup and #GlowOctopup .  That's it! 

A winner will be picked for best photo and the winner will receive the next special release of Strife and Sire (more news on this one very soon).  Contest ends on November 5th. 

    See, you not only get a toy, you get an activity that will keep your little hands out of trouble.  

    Get yours by visiting http://nathanhamill.com/ or http://www.3dretro.com/.

Halloween Young Gohst from Ferg x Grody Shogun Drops Today!!!

    You know what the best thing about Halloween is?   Besides turning off all of your lights and going out to dinner so kids don't come by looking for handouts?  Seriously kid, you're gonna egg my house if I don't give you candy, cause I'll shoot you in the face (I wouldn't really, cause I don't live in Texas).  It's all the Halloween themed toy releases!!!!!!!  

    This is the best toy release to celebrate the only holiday where it is acceptable for a grown man to dress like Rainbow Bright.  It's Young Gohst from Ferg x Grody Shogun!  This dude comes with a special mystery color brain that is completely unique so that no two figures will be the same.  He goes on sale TODAY at noon central time at http://www.jamungo.com/cad_store/ for $45.  Which is about what I would have to spend in candy to feed all these neighborhood kids.  Don't they know these are tough economic times and all my money gets spent on toys?

Mishka Edition Bullet Belt from Skinner x Unbox Industries

    Oh snap son!!!!!  Did you miss out on your first crack at sweet wrasslin action when Skinner and Unbox Industries released Bullet Belt?  Well, unlike my Uncle Ted and his plight with the criminal justice system, you're gonna get a second chance.   On a side note, just cause they find a semi automatic weapon in the trunk of your car doesn't mean you can't act surprised about it and plead ignorance till your lawyer gets there.  Uncle Ted has no poker face.

    This is a most special Mishka edition of Bullet Belt known as Doom Belt!!!!!!!!!   Lamour Supreme created the paint scheme and you can pre order one of these beauties now.  I know what you're thinking: "but Chris, the weather is getting cold and I gotta save up for my heating bill."  Bull crap you do, cause Bullet Belt will keep you warm at night.  Just tuck him under the covers with you and let his awesomeness roast you like a Thanksgiving turkey.  And you don't have to grocery shop either, cause Bullet Belt will hunt all of your food for you with his bare fists.  I hope you like the taste of wild critters.  And you get a little Mini Bullet Belt to take with you to work, so he can get you that raise you deserve and stop other people from using your "World's Best Cat Dad" coffee mug.  It wouldn't be so bad if they would just wash it afterwards, cause you don't know where there filthy lips have been.  Mini Bullet Belt isn't gonna let you take that crap anymore and will leap from your pocket to throttle the offending party.

    I know what you're thinking now: "Chris, you've convinced me to open my heart and accept Bullet Belt as my personal protector/lover, so how do I get one."  Well, I'm gonna tell you.  You gotta pay a visit to http://store.unboxindustries.info/ and preorder one, cause these bad boys are being painted to order.  So if you don't order one now, you'll never be able to get one later when you've finally come to your senses.  And you only have until October 31st to pull the trigger on this bad boy so get to it.

Bullet Belt is part of the Triclops B.A.S.T.A.R.D. universe, punk.

Paris Comics Expo Exclusive Darth Vader Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    GLOW IN THE DARK HOLOGRAPHIC DARTH VADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Not that I'm all excited about it or anything, but holy crap I need to get one of these.  This Pop! Vinyl figure from Funko is an exclusive to the Paris Comics Expo.  From what I hear though, us folks in the United States will have a chance to preorder one from Toymatrix in the next few days for $15 plus shipping. Yeah, I'm gonna have to get in on that.   

The Horseman's Head from Plaseebo

    I'm sick.  Not in the mental way, mind you, but like head filled with snot and sore throat sick.  It sucks. Plaseebo has perfectly captured how I feel with this "Horseman's Head" piece.  Of course, he was inspired by the Sleepy Hallow story and not the tale of my sinus infection, but I can still relate.  He only made 5 of these resin melons and they come loaded with an led light that changes color that makes the eyes, mouth, nose, and brain glow.  Each one is hand made and will cost $220 plus shipping.  Can you imagine if for some reason they deliver this to the wrong house and someone opens it not knowing what to expect?  It would be like the ending of that movie Seven when Brad Pitt gets all freaked out after his special delivery.  

    In order to buy one of these you have to enter a lottery by doing this:

    Send an email with your Name, Address and Email address to: bob@plaseebo.net

DEADLINE for entry is Tuesday, October 29.

    Then on November 1st you'll know if you have the chance to purchase one.
