August 2007

Greetings Gwin fans! Summer is almost over and what a Summer it's been! San Diego Comic-Con was fantastic, Toy Break has so many viewers that we had to upgrade web hosts, and we introduced Gwin Series 3, MiniGwins, and the first of our new Z.O.M.B.I.E.s! Whew! Most importantly, we couldn't have done it without you - so thank you! On to the news... - Z.O.M.B.I.E.s Online! - Gwins Series 3, MegaGwins, and MiniGwins! - Toy Break Episodes - The MegaGwin Show - Back to School Special

Z.O.M.B.I.E.s Online! Zillions Of Mutated Bodies Infecting Everyone! The limited edition "Attendee" zombie is the first of the zillions of mutated bodies infecting everyone! These hand made resin micro statues are 2" high and limited to 50 numbered pieces. Don't miss the first of the Z.O.M.B.I.E. horde! Available while they last for only $13 and there are only a handful left, so grab them fast!

Gwins Series 3, MegaGwins, and MiniGwins! Gwin Series 3 is available now and features five great designs by Squidboy, Jim Koch, Lou Pimentel, HideousBoi, and Bill Rawley. Series 3 is only $10 each and limited to 200 of each design. We also have MegaGwins back in stock ($65) and for the first time ever, blank white 1" MiniGwins for only $2!

Toy Break Episodes... August brought two new Toy Break episodes including: Toy Break Meets San Diego Comic-Con 2007 where we unleashed Matt with a microphone amongst the toys, geeks, and costumed masses! Toy Break Episode 11 : Popsicle - Join us as we examine new plush including Mousey Micci and Zoobie and we finally go through our crazy Comic-Con purchases including MindStyle's Landstrider and Brom's Stickmen, Sharky, Neth Creatures, and so much more! We will also be at the Podcast and New Media Expo in Ontario, CA September 28-30, 2007. We'll probably be hanging around the expo hall on Friday, so if you're going to be around and want to meet up, let us know!

The MegaGwin Show... Our custom 13" MegaGwin Show is right around the corner on October 13th at Alphacult in Long Beach, California! We've got a great line up of artists so far and are looking forward to a fantastic show. You can check out the flyer (designed by Jim Koch) and a list of some of the participating artists at www.gwinarmy.com/megagwinshow.php

Back to School Special... It's that time of year...back to school! Time to spruce up that desk with a new Gwin or two! Use coupon code "bts2007" for free domestic shipping on orders $25 or more until September 31, 2007!

Other interesting stuff… - We've re-organized the October Toys store menu to make a little more sense. - We had to move the Toy Break video files to a new web host due to bandwidth issues (which means more of you are watching and that rocks!). We found a great one called Dreamhost.com that starts at $7.95/month with 145 GB storage and 1.5 TB of bandwidth (which means a lot of people can look at your stuff!). If you're looking for web hosting, check this one out and you can even help support Toy Break by using our promo code "toybreak1" to save $50 on monthly plans or $60 on yearly plans!

Thank you and we hope you've been having a fantastic Summer!
