November 2006

Greetings Gwin fans! November is proving to be...interesting. Among many other things, we've been working on a little side project which you can read more about below. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! On to the news... - The new October SAGA is Ed Zepln! - Special announcement...Toy Break! - Visit us in Pasadena at the Vinyl Toys Network show on December 10

The SAGA continues… November's Super Awesome Gwin Artist is Ed Zepln, an emerging artist and toy customizer based in Las Vegas. He has come up with four tasty Gwin treats for everyone, so check out the one of a kind, custom vinyl Gwins he has created at www.gwinarmy.com His two Gwins for auction (Gen. P. Gwin and Lady Healer) are currently up for auction and are ending today, Friday November 17th. Visit www.GwinArmy.com for more info and to bid on these unique custom Gwins. All of the proceeds from of Ed Zepln's auctioned Gwins will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Special announcement... We were going to wait until everything was officially up and running, but what the heck. We are entering the wonderful world of netcasting! Our first episode of our show, Toy Break, should be posted tonight or possibly tomorrow on Saturday. Basically it's us sitting around talking about toys, reviewing toys, dispursing toy information, and trying to get other people to talk about toys! What we would love is some viewer feedback and maybe even some awesome questions we could answer! So if you have a few minutes, check it out (once it is up) and let us know what you think. Please bear with us, though, as we are still working out some of the kinks (like the audio on the interview with Eric Treadaway - stupid air conditioner humming!). Visit toybreak.com either tonight or tomorrow for the first funtastic episode of Toy Break!
