TFexpo 2019 - Live script reading w Dan Gilvezan and John Bailey

Script written by Saeru, read by Dan Gilvezan, John Bailey, and the talented attendees of TFexpo 2019.

So You’re New To Earth?

It is the year 2000 and Bumblebee is preparing to set off with Spike for Moon Base Two. Starscream engineers a plan to infiltrate the Autobots and convinces Soundwave to join him. And yes, you guessed it, the plan inevitably fails! The Decepticons also learn a disturbing but amusing secret about Megatron.

From the ‘upcoming swimsuits’ hard-drive, I present the FPS Armor suit design in both traditional swim and extended leg. This is the next on the to-do list, and was inspired by the Mjolnir Mark VI armor from Halo 2/3/Reach/everything basically with a Spartan in it. There was such a big database of FPS (first person swimmer in this case) models to chose from, but I went with this one because it defines the genre for me the most.

I intend for the FPS armor to be available in a wide variety of colors like the robot swimsuit is. Including Red. And Blue. And other shades related to Red and Blue. Which are not being capitalized for ANY PARTICULAR REASON.

A design for a new swimsuit coming to Saeru’s shop before summer! Stay tuned for more…

On the long list of things to do to update our shop, we’ve finally started taking in-person shots of the pillowcases. You know, ones that aren’t just on a red sheet laid out in our backyard.

Here we have the second pillow produced by Dirge, and my personal favorite for ‘most likely to be seen on body pillow:’ Knockout. The red pops so well and the printing is so crisp…he’s been a welcome staple in our store.

Stay tuned, more photos of old products and NEW products are on the way!

COMING SOON! Any Splatoon fans out there? Dirge has been working hard on this Inkling-inspired fleece hat design lately! She’s still refining the design but we hope to have this available on our Etsy in the near future!

Nella is busy today stocking up on crane bottle necklaces for the Toy Man Toy Show next weekend. Getting the tiny origami cranes into the bottles is always the hardest part!

Anonymous asked: I'm a lady from Florissant Mo., who is also fascinated by space. Your story is intriguing and inspiring. I loved the answers you gave on some of your local tv interviews. No one going to inhabit another planet could be anything other than bold, intrepid and fearless. That kind of crazy is necessary for humanity to explore every aspect of our existence. You could die. Yes. All explorers know and accept that possibility because the risk is worth it. May I contact you again? Hope so! -Carol

Hello!

First of all, I’d like to thank you very much for taking the time to write to me.  <3  My main hope with the Mars One mission is for it to be an inspiration to others (and especially all of us strong women of the midwest) so that humanity can finally move up and onward.  I think you’re right that it does take a kind of crazy to get out there…but I really hope its the infectious kind of crazy that prompts the world to do something bold and new.  It’s going to be very hard to take this first step…because until we’ve actually done it no one will believe it can be done.  However, it’s long past time this step was made. I really appreciate that you’ve followed the first steps of my journey, and I definitely hope to hear from you again!

All Transformers character charms are currently in stock!

After a bit of a delay and some quality control issues from our charm supplier (more on that to come later, stay tuned), we’re happy to announce that all of our character charms are back in stock! This means you can once again order Knock Out and G1 Starscream, Megatron, and Optimus charms as keychains or phone straps, necklaces, or as zipper pulls on your Soundwave bags or pencil cases.

We’re also hoping to add a few more characters to the line-up soon, and balance things out a little between the ‘Bots and the 'Cons. (Stay tuned for that, too!)

This is the first scarf Saeru designed that got us all hooked on the idea. Since Sae now offers it in an alternate version of a more-opaque silky faille in addition to the original sheer cotton voile version (as well now also in a red and gold color scheme option) I got to take these sweet new photos of it recently.

Designed for the Thor fan who wants to wear their fandom with a subtle pride, or for the Norse aficionado who wants to show their sense of fashion. Many Mjolnir motifs were researched and combined into this completely original design, borrowing from old symbols and modern decoration alike and tied off with a tiny ‘true’ hammer in the center.

Another great product from Saeru, spotlighted courtesy of Ryn on the blog for our sister shop, orgXIIIorg! Look ma, we do more than Transformers gear!

Not just for pillows anymore. More photos I took of Saeru’s G1 gear:

- The Soundwave sling bag (which, incidentally, holds an iPad perfectly) can be found here.

- The Cassetticon pouches (for stashing change, phones or…uh, actual Cassetticons) can be found over here.

- …And the heavy-duty acrylic mini-charms of everybody can be found here.

Wow, these have gotten a ton of great feedback so far! Thank you so much to everyone who’s checked them out, shared, reblogged, and purchased stuff from us in the past few days!
