All Hallow's Shub Zeroths from Metacrypt Release Today!!!!!!!

    All ye wicked souls, Shub Zeroth has returned to Earth to devour your flesh and make crafts with your bones.  He has a little stall down at the flea market, and does surprisingly well selling knick knacks made from the bits and pieces of evil humans.  But that is not the point, the point is that on this high holiday you can now own the very first Shub Zeroth ever to be offered on the internet.  You'll get either an unpainted black or an unpainted orange version.  You can't pick, the universe has already decided for you.  Each 9 inch figure will be $100 and will go on sale today, October 31st, at noon Pacific time at www.meta-crypt.com.

Terror Boys: Gohst Bat from Brandt Peters x Ferg

    Check out this bad little dude.  If you see someone that is the size of a grown man and dressed like this on Halloween you need to understand that he wants to kill you.  I've seen enough movies to know that anybody with a machete and a mask is bad news and he will take your bones to decorate his den of iniquity.  Don't become a home decor project by some psychotic Martha Stewart.  Mainly because I don't want to lose readers.  Do you know how tough it is to get people to check this site out when there are weirdo videos that ponder what noises a fox makes?  And it's a musical.  I can't compete with that.  This is a low budget affair my friend.  If I can't pull it out of my overly medicated head for free it's not happening.  So don't get murdered and lower my website hits or I'll be pissed.  

    Brandt Peters and Ferg have been killing it (pun intended) with their Terror Boy figures and this Gohst Bat dude continues that winning tradition.  He comes with two sets of arms, a machete, an ax, and a removable helmet.  You can get one this Halloween (yes, he actually goes on sale October 31st) at noon Pacific time by visiting http://store.projectsquadt.com./.    

Ame-Comi Holiday Harley Quinn and Posion Ivy Two Pack from DC Collectibles

    Sharon and I have a cat named Icarus that is fond of eating just about anything he can get his little black paws on.  He's eaten shoe laces, a shirt sleeve (which earned him a trip to the emergency vet), cat toys, people toys, blankets, paper, plastic bags, and countless other objects that were rendered unidentifiable by the time they passed through his digestive system and I dug them out of the litter box.  On the bright side, I am finally able to use my very expensive degree in forensics as I try and solve the mystery of "What Icarus Ate."  Luckily for us, we have  finished basement, which allows us to decorate for Christmas while keep it locked safely out of his reach.  Unlucky for us is the fact that I don't have to see that stuff everyday so March can easily come before I decide it's time to take down the tree.  

     That's why these toys from DC Collectibles are genius.  You can leave them up year round and people won't think you're lazy, they'll just think you're showing off your collection.  And Harley Quinn is my favorite chica from the Batman universe, and Poison Ivy's pretty cool too.  You can preorder this two pack right now and they will ship just in time for Christmas.  Just click on that Entertainment Earth link to the right with the South Park dudes and order away.  

Slumberbean x Creo Design Flavour Friends Series

    I worked a Gregg Allman show the other day and I thought the audience was filled with some chill bros.  Well, except for this one really old dude with a gray pony tail, who was dancing like he had a wicked case of poison ivy in his tighty whities.  Forget rhythm, as wild-flailing was his preferred method of expression.  I imagine he got home later that night, sobered up, and realised that hit of acid he took when he was twenty had just worn off.  Kind of like a dirty hippie version of Rip Van Winkle.

    These chill bros who can't wait to sit on your bookshelf are made by Slumberbean and Creo Design.  dubbed the Flavour Friends, each color is limited to only 20 pieces and come packed in their own bean can.  The first one goes up for sale this Friday, November 1st, for £30 plus shipping at http://www.slumberbean.com/.

Star Trek Pop! Vinyl from Funko

    It was brought to my attention recently that Scotty from Star Trek was such a bad dude that he could wear the dreaded red shirt and survive.  That is tantamount to being immortal in that franchise.  I guess it's a good thing he was in charge of fixing stuff, cause if it had been any other dude wearing a red shirt they would be calling AAA to come and tow the Enterprise all the time.  Those guys were as expendable as out of date lunch meat.

   This is further proof that everything you have ever been entertained by will one day become a Funko Pop! Vinyl.  Seriously, they have to be getting a little nervous that they're gonna run out of cool things to make figures of.  They're gonna have to start making a politician's series, or inventors.  Now that I think about it, I would totally buy a Tesla action figure.  They could do a two pack with Thomas Edison and make them look like they're gonna fight over who's ideas in electricity were supreme.  Make it happen Funko!  Oh, and hire me cause there are way more ideas where that came from.  

These will be available November 28th.  

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.

SubUrban Vinyl is located at:

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.
