Mastodon, one of the heaviest, bestest bands around, has a new album called Crack the Skye coming out on March 9. These guys truly know how to lay down the rock, and Crack the Skye one is definitely a must for our preorder lists. Thus it's a real honor to see the guys sporting Deathbot gear in these recent Total Guitar and Kerrang! magazine spreads.
Spotted on PerezHilton.com, here's Mr. Hilton posing with Kanye West in our Deathbot Circuitry hoodie.
Saturday's Holiday Sale in San Francisco, our 5th annual event, was a great success. We knew we'd be dealing with a bit of a crowd, so we brought in extra reinforcement staff to keep things running smoothly. Lots of happy folks left with great GAMA-GO bargains and rarities. Many thanks to everyone who made it down to the Rickshaw Stop!
Many thanks to Jeremy of ToyCyte who posted these photos captured at his polling place this morning. Says he:
It’s going to be a historic day today, and the Yeti departed his ice cave to find the local polling place to cast his ballot. It is a lesser-known fact, but owing to the cold climates and strain of bearing such heft as a bipedal creature, yetis can be prone to arthritis. As such, the Yeti is a staunch believer in universal healthcare without barring pre-existing conditions. The Yeti is a very misunderstood creature and feels that there should be equality for all, including other marginalized cryptids. He has not been happy with the way things have gone over the last eight years and has kept a low profile. The Yeti is hoping for change.
The fourth and final part of Greg's story about the creation of the Big Vinyl Yeti has now been posted on VinylPulse. And just in time to announce that the Big Yetis will soon be in stock and ready to ship.
To celebrate we're going to launch a special one-week-only presale of the figure this Thursday the 30th at 11am PST. By placing a pre-order during this seven day period you will be guaranteed a Yeti figure. You will also receive a made-for-presale-only Yeti Ice Cave tee printed on black, free of charge! Check out the Yeti here.
The third installment in Greg's story about the making of our upcoming big vinyl Yeti was posted today on Vinyl Pulse, including an exciting tale of derring-do from the sketchy streets of SOMA. Read it now on Vinyl Pulse.

On Monday evening City Beer Store was packed to the gills with friends, well-wishers, and Deathbot devotees as we celebrated the release of the new Deathbot Lederhosen. The Oktoberfest brew was flowing, the Deathbots were circulating, and a great time was had by all. Many thanks to City Beer and all those who made it to the party!
Jeremy from Toycyte stopped by and afterwards posted a few photos alongside this interesting comment about the Deathbot:
"...besides digging the toy itself, I want to mention that the Deathbot is a relationship-bridger. Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/mother-in-law who just barely tolerates your toys? Is it the modernism and the coldness of urban vinyl? If so, perhaps, like my girlfriend, your partner will embrace the warm wooden antiquity of the Deathbot." (emphasis added)So there you have it: there's nothing to rekindle the flames of romance like a heartless, drunken, killing machine.
We got a good chuckle from Jager of Millionaire Playboy's review of the Barack Obama action figure, in which he photographs the figure in debate opposite one of our wooden Deathbots. We appreciate Jager's snarky political commentary, and remind our American friends to vote Deathbot on November 4th in support of his "Kill!" platform.
In other Obama-related news, our third run of Yetibama shirts sold out yesterday in an astonishing six hours!
Join GAMA-GO and Ningyoushi in an Octoberfest celebration! The beer will flow as we toast the release of the Wooden Deathbot Lederhosen!
The party starts at 6pm at the City Beer Store. For two hours drink from a free keg of delicious German beer & chat over all things Deathbot with us at our favorite watering hole. (This means 21+ folks only, sorry.)
We'll have the limited edition Deathbot Lederhosen Wooden toy for sale, it'll be the first opportunity to grab this Barvarian beauty.
Prost!
