Design of the Week: ASIAN MONSTER / DINOSAUR!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another.
This week, we ask the question: What kid doesn't love dinosaurs?
The idea of being a huge, unstoppable creature rampaging, devouring, and stepping on everything and everybody in your path has an undeniable appeal to little ones, who usually feel helpless in a world too big for them! (Why do you think the new Jurassic World flick had such a great opening day or that Godzilla is still going strong after 50 years?)
This week we say...

Dinosaurs!
Once they ruled the planet!
Now they'll dominate your wardrobe!

Available on t-shirts, mugs, and all sorts of kool kollectibles!

Snap them up...before they snap you up!

Design of the Week Redux: DINOSAUR!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another, unless it sells really well, as this one is doing.
Once more, we ask the question: What kid doesn't love dinosaurs?

First up was Quatermass 2 aka Enemy from Space, from Britain's legendary Hammer Studios!

Next was the never-reprinted 1940s adaptation of Universal Studios' Son of Frankenstein!

Then, a week-long mini-blogathon of the never-reprinted graphic novel based on the movie inspired by 1950s horror comics...Laurel Entertainment/Warner Brothers' CreepShow!

Then...the first, never reprinted, American comic book appearance of Toho Studios' Godzilla!

(Note: it's NOT the Marvel Comics series from the late 1970s!)

Finally, the rarely-seen, one-time team-up of terror-titans Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and Lon Chaney from 50 years ago on Route 66!

It's not too late to join in the fun!

YouTube Wednesday: Mothra Madness!

I recently caught the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy on Action...

...and, boy, did it BLOW!

I ran, screaming, back to my Classic Media DVD set for some REAL Mothra action with real Mothra fairies...
First, the original teaser trailer with ONLY preproduction art plus the first trailer with the Peanuts (btw, the trailer narrator was also the narrator and the Robot on Lost in Space, Dick Tufeld)...

 (also the original kool Japanese trailer...)

From Ghidorah: the Three-Headed Monster...the Peanuts return...

From Godzilla vs Mothra (1992)...the Cosmos...

...and noted horror host Svengoolie does a "Where Are They Now?" segment...

Now THAT'S MOTHRA!

Over-Sized Pop-Art Shirts!

We're expanding our line of kool kollectibles to include a line of shirts with even BIGGER image areas on the front (and where applicable) the back.
This new line of shirts has an image area of 11" wide by 17" high, plus they're made by ethically-conscious American Apparel and Anvil KnitWear!

Among the designs at this new location are Flesh (NOT Flash) Gordon, Giant Generic Asian Monster, Only REAL Americans in Arizona! (It's NOT what you think!), two Robin Hood comic book designs, and two Kooba Kola designs, with MORE to come!
Order them a size larger than normal and use them as beachwear over your swimsuits (or as tops if you don't use swimsuits at all!)
Bookmark the page, cause we'll be adding MORE stuff regularly over the next few months...

Design of the Week--"Godzilla" Redux

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week, the return (by popular demand) of a kool Godzilla-like (except he's blue and doesn't have atomic breath) reptilian monster, suitable for both kids and adults!
Will he protect the tiny town...or destroy it?
You decide!

Design of the Week--Big Reptilian Monster!

Star Trek is here--Beam me up!

If you're willing to accept Crisis on Infinite Earths and it's aftermath (plus Batman Begins onward and the various other DC-related film / tv series), Ultimate Marvel Universe, "One More Day", and the various Marvel-based films and tv series (Hell, Punisher was rebooted twice!), the Godzilla Heisei and Millenium films, Battlestar Galactica [2003-09],or the Eon James Bond 007 films from Casino Royale [2006] on, then you'll go with this for what it is...a reboot / alternate universe with some interesting twists.

And unlike most of the other film /tv series, this one acknowledges the fact that it's an alternate universe!
(Comics on the other hand, enjoy pointing out when they reboot! Go figure!) ;-)
