3rd Annual Weirdo Toy Giveaway

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

It’s that time again – Weirdo Toys’ Birthday! The site is 3 years old today. (What does that mean exactly? I dunno. I guess it means I still have enough money to keep the site alive. Ha!)

It’s usually this time of year that I like to look back and reflect on what’s happened with the site, but realistically, not much new has happened. Most of what’s been happening has been in my personal life.

Since last year I lost my job, got married, got my job back and in just over a month, I’m gonna have a new son. So, yeah… I’ve been distracted :D

I’d like to take this time to just thank you guys for reading and sticking with me. Surprisingly, I’ve noticed my readership is actually growing even with my sparse blog posts. I can attribute that to my increased Twitter presence and to you great toy-loving, blog-sharing weirdos.

Alright, since I haven’t tried to break new ground all year, I figured I’d do it today. I’ve actually created one of those annoying video blogs (vlog) documenting my process from getting a toy from my shelf to your screen. (Oddly enough, I’ve had several requests for this sort of thing over the years, so what the heck. Might as well do it, huh?)

(I’m gonna warn you. If you like my “blog voice,” maybe you shouldn’t watch this. It’s the real me :O )

Enjoy.

But wait! Let’s not forget why we came here. The free toy!

Seezall

As you saw featured in the video, the toy given away this year is Seezall. This guy is one of my favorites from my favorite group of super-heroes, the Gross Out Gang. One lucky winner will get this Seezall figure.

Apple Devil T-shirt

And if that’s not enough, I’m also gonna throw in a Weirdo Toys Apple Devil t-shirt. That way you can go to the playground in your new tee, play with your toy and get beat up by the local bullies. Fun times!

All you have to do is leave a comment answering two simple questions:

1. How did you find the Weirdo Toys blog?
2. Why did you stay?

Just know, I’m not choosing a winner based on content. I’m gonna draw a name at random from the comments who qualify and announce the winners a week from now.

Thanks everyone. Best of luck, and thanks for reading!

Apple Devil T-shirt

I’ve teased you long enough. Now’s your chance to get the very first Weirdo Toys t-shirt.

This is the first in what I hope to be a series of t-shirts featuring custom illustrations of various weirdo toys featured on this site.

First up? Apple Devil.

Apple Devil Graphic

Be the first (and only) person on your block to flaunt a brightly-colored, apple-headed devil on your chest. The shirts are all good quality, asphalt-colored American Apparel brand. The graphic is a 6-color print, so… it’s fancy-schmancy. (Also, note there is a small, black graphic which reads “WeirdoToys.com” on the left sleeve.)

I’ve also created a “Weirdo Apparel” page and a quick link to the shirt in the side nav bar. Hope it’s not to “sell-out-y.”

Thanks for all the your support guys.

(The shirt is “unisex,” so it’s not just for girls like the photos may imply ;) )

… and thanks to Bubba Shelby for inspiring the title of the t-shirt. Corny and Punny but still great!

Keep on Yuckin’
