Defrosting the Yeti... Pt. 3

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.

Oktoberfest/Deathbot Lederhosen Release Party

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.

Dbot Dbate

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!

You're Invited! GAMA-GO Octoberfest

Yeti Concept Kicks

This awesome pair of Gama-Go / Nike concept shoes was made for us by Green Demon Laser in Portland, Oregon. Rad!

Ledbetter Hoodie Drops! And Keytars!

For those of you out of the loop: the exclusive Joe Ledbetter/Deathbot hoodie was released today. This thing came out great with gorgeous embroidery and the same high-quality construction you can expect from all GAMA-GO hoodies.

Oh, and the ever-popular Keytars are back in stock for the first time today after selling out a few months back. Get'em while they're rockin!

Finished Armored Deathbot

The Armored Deathbots are complete and looking oh-so-sweet.

No foyer is safe with the Dbot army on the march!


In the studio with the team of craftsmen who finished this beaut.

Armored Deathbot Storms San Francisco

What's 30 inches tall, metal-plated, and more dangerous than the CERN atom smasher? (Launched today, only a small minority of scientists think the Large Hadron Collider might create a black hole capable of destroying earth.)

Why it's the Giant Armored Deathbot, of course! This statue, exclusive to "Well of Wisdom" members from our Store Club, is shown here in the workshop where they're being plated. There's still some detailing and glazing to be done, but this thing is already quite a beaut.

Bow to Deathbot!

Defrosting the Yeti... Pt. 2

An excerpt from the second installment of Greg's story about the creative process behind our upcoming vinyl Yeti:

It's like a Moebius strip, there's no back or front to his lower body. There's a plain that runs up one leg, swoops across the crotch and down and around the back leg - there's no definition. I suppose it all springs from the sticky issue of imaginary penises. No one wants to mess with Yeti junk.
