It's Unicron!: The Planet Eating... uhh, Planet!

Guess that makes him a cannibal. So if you guessed that I was really quite buzzed the other night and dropped a whopping $60.00 on the Amazon.Com Exclusive 25th Anniversary Edition Unicron, then you guessed correcitically.

A lot of people online were pissed off because Amazon only carried a few dozen of these releases at a given time upon release. The product sold out rapidly and then the 3'rd party sellers (read: scalpers) were re-selling them on Amazon for triple the price. So the sixty dollar exclusive was now "SOLD OUT" and being re-sold for anywhere from $180 thru $260 by some bitch-tits motherfucker who bought six of the things all at once.

I wasn't really hard up. Sure, I wanted the new version since I was never truly satisfied with the original Armada toy... but I wasn't going money mad to get it. It wasn't until it sold out about two or three times that I finally decided to grab it once it came back in stock. I just said, fuck it, and I've been wanting to sell the old one off anyways along with some other crappy figures that suck.

After all, this figure's got a much better (silver) paint job, a newly sculpted "Movie Accurate" head, and well... that's about it. But I guess the little differences like some new head that makes you think twice about this kinda shit. I was never particularly fond of the first to be released Unicron mold. I always thought that the Neo Prototype looked way more awesomer than this.

Most of the Armada molds sucked. You may disagree. But this one stood out, only on the sole fact that it's Huge as fuck and it's Unicron. It would have been great if Takara/Hasbro went back and re-designed the whole thing. I got a few mini-cons in a box somewhere and I'm in no hurry to bust 'em out, unless I'm selling them. Yeah. And perhaps it's the fact that I got Masterpiece Hot Rod and Grimlock (US Versions) for about 40-60$ each, that it really doesn't bother me to spend that much on Unicron... at least he looks a lot more badass than before. Still not the greatest mold, but an improvement nonetheless.

What's In The Box?

Let's guess what's in the box today. Ooh, I love this game!

Yeah, I'm not much for giving "hints" I guess... more of a spoiler guy myself.

Danzig: 4p T-Shirt

I remember about the time Danzig4p came out, I had already become completely obsessed with the group, the music and even the front-man himself, Glenn. I was totally ghey for the 'em... ya know, in that not so gay sort of way.

So I used to buy these cheesy-ass bootleg CD's from this place back home and as I was wandering through the place one day I notice multiple duplicate Danzig4p promotional posters on the wall in the corner. I ask the guy, "How much do you want for one of those?" He's like, "Those aren't for sale!" And I'm like, "What the fuck are you talking about!?"

Now, there was an obvious leak in the roof of this place and some other posters around these ones were already water damaged so I'm thinking if I'm going to own one I better get it now. The guy was having none of it. And mind you, at the time I was only fifteen years old! Sure, I was a smart ass for my time but scumbag adults that run shitty record stores shouldn't be conning moneys off of young kids anyways.

He tried to give me some shit and I told him to fuck off. A couple months later his roof caved in just above the posters and the entire corner of his store was ruined - walls, posters, merchandise underneath, all of it. We could have both gotten what we wanted that day: For him, money, and for me, a fuckin' free poster that I would have payed for! But the guy was a fucking douchebag son of a bitch and I hope he rots in hell. That fuck.

:)

It Came From... Tee-Fury!

Nerds love TeeFury (The 'Limited Edition T-Shirt, Gone in 24 Hours' Website that sells a new T-Shirt every day). That is very much fact. Also apparently fact, is that nerds run TeeFury. It seems every single morning it's nothing but a shitty new Serenity or Doctor Who shirt (most of which the designs suck majorly hard like a slut on balls). What the fuck is up with that? At first it wasn't that bad, say like a year ago, but recently it's gotten much much worse! Still, I click that link every log on...

...and despite the abundance of lameness they've been displaying as of recently, they figured doing something cool for once might pay off. And it did, with my purchase of the (pictured above) shirt that is pictured above! Rendered by a guy who calls himself zerobriant, I found the shirt design utterly delightful and purchased it on sight.

Regarding TRUEBLOOD, yeah, I dig it. Mostly because I'm desperately in teh lust with Anna Paquin! I can show you the restraining orders that have been issued. And not that it's the gap between her two front teeth there, but god damn does that drive me into a stalking frenzy of unknown jerk-off despair. Hell, she's the only reason I even care about watching those horrible X-Men movies. Let alone that guilty pleasure known as Fly Away Home.

I don't recall an episode from either Series 1 or 2, where Bill was fucking Sookie, and they were really going at it ya know... well, I was watching it for the first time, and I was screaming at my set, "Bite Her! Bite Her you Fuck!" Guess I was sick of the teenage wasteland of tension that Twilight inflicted upon me, and then what do you know, he fucking bites her while fucking her! And I screamed like a little bitch. That was hot as hell. Damn straight.

Danzig: Group on White Silkscreen T-Shirt

Here's the front and back to what I believe to be an fairly obvious Bootleg t-shirt... [but you never know, I could be wrong for once (so let me know)]. I think I got this back in 96' at the Pipeline, and of course bought it on sight. It's Very heavy white silkscreen ink on an X-Large black t-shirt. Looks as if someone had drawn outlines or sketches from Danzig photographs and artwork, arranged it with a few original(?) mirrored skull and skeleton drawings and then had the shirt pressed.

Front: Danzig on the Throne.

Back: Beyond the Doors.

Personally, I think whoever did this did an admirable job for such a simplistic and one-hued design. I wore this shirt regularly back in the day as a matter of fact and even after about fifty (more or less) washings, to this day there's only that strange large crease mark in John Christ's face (see above) and also some slight fading on the right portion of the back side. Oh, and the black cloth didn't really fade at all either like many of my older shirts. The fade marks are easily fixable, but I'm not planning on wearing my classic shit anytime soon so why bother?

I just wish I had more information on this one. Seeing as it has been about fifteen years and I've never once seen this design or shirt anywhere online, it doesn't seem probable that I'll find any. Go ahead and bug me if you know where this came from.

Danzig: Bleeding Light T-Shirt

Here's a pic of my Officially Licensed Danzig t-shirt - known as "Jesus Bleeding Light" or "God Don't Like It". It was officially released in 1988 (or 1990?) and then in 1989 with the words "Summer 89'" underneath the back lettering.

"Hey let me help you off of that strange wooden contraption."

 Like much of his previous Misfits and SamHain record and promotional art, Glenn Danzig thought of the concept and designed this. One thing about Glenn as a designer is that he's always been talented with the artwork he creates, arranged or uses; often times utilizing bright and colorful motifs. This particular eye-catching, and some would say "controversial" collage, he was quite understandably proud of (as can be seen here in THIS INTERVIEW from the VHS of Danzig: The Videos, around the 1:05 mark.). 

Clowns scare God too.

Grinning with mischievous glee as he describes it, you can see Glenn obviously hamming it up in this dark and mysterious interview. Many people misunderstand Danzig's intentions when it comes to his words due to the black, cold image he developed early on and his often serious, dedicated tone. His playful and joking side is glaringly obvious to me, but he does what he can to make it as confusing as possible to anyone undeserving to be in on the fun of it all. And what's more fun than pissing people off? He's been intentionally trolling and even unintentionally pissing people off for years, but you know what? That's part of his fucked up charm.

I of course didn't buy this shirt in 88', 89', or even 90' as at the time that would make me roughly nine years old. Let's just say that I "found" it in my neighbor's mom's roommate's room when I was fifteen, and on that day God didn't like Me not liking the eighth commandment too much. And to think, my neighbor who I had known since I was four years old gave me shit about taking it. Even though he himself fuckin' tortured small animals, and he knew that I was a Danzig fiend... and on top of those two things, he didn't even really like the guy living there. The gall of that little bastard. I'm not the one that ripped my pet bunny's ear off, buried it quickly and then blamed it on the dog. But anyways.
