RLComics - New, Used, and Collectible Comic books!

I'm going to eschew all the flowery sales text here and just come out and say it - I am ECSTATIC to be able to offer the very first Real Life Figurine - The Shirt Ninja. I've been working with the fantastically talented Gensen Figures to bring the Shirt Ninja to life. (By the way, I recommend browsing their gallery to get a sense of the quality these guys put out... I'm still in awe of their talent.)

Now, I should note - the figurine you see to the left is a painted prototype. Though the final figurine will look very, VERY similar to this one, there may be slight changes here and there before it goes into production. If you preordered one of these before you saw it in color, and don't like it for whatever reason, I will offer you a full refund during the preorder period. Once these are ordered however, all sales are final.

Now I suppose it's time to talk about the nuts and bolts of this bad boy:

* The figurine stands 4" tall and 5" long.
* It will be permanently attached to a circular base - it's kind of off-balance otherwise, so it's impossible to make it free-standing.
* Each figurine will come packaged in form-fitting plastic in a custom-designed box - for those collectors who like to keep things in their original packaging. And... you know. To keep it safe during shipping.

Remember, pre-ordering is the only way to be SURE you're going to get one of these, because once I make the order, the quantity available will be fixed. No more will be ordered after that point, so pre-order yours today to be guaranteed one of these fantastic collectibles!


A quick favor...

Today is one of my coworkers' birthday back at Dave's Gourmet, and I just got a call from one of my OTHER cohorts back there asking if I could ask YOU to bombard her with e-mail birthday wishes. So if you have a few minutes, try to send a nice "happy birthday" e-mail to Aline today. I only wish I could see the look on her face when a mountain of e-mail lands in her inbox. :)
Guest Comic 1st Prize winner - Fan Art section Live!

Well folks, today's comic by the mysteriously named "Beth K." was voted the winner of the guest comic half of the contest! Beth, congratulations - you've got a $25 Real Life Store gift certificate on the way. :)

Now that we've got the guest stuff done with, I can announce that, believe it or not, the Fan Art section is once more LIVE! (You can also find it in the menu above - it's in the "stuff" section.) You can head there to see not only the winning entries to both halves of the contest, but EVERY entry. But hell - why let it stop there? Now that the section is open, any and all fan art can go up there, so fire up your e-mail and send it off to me! I'll try to keep it as up-to-date as I possibly can. After all, I really dig fanart. It's possibly one of my favorite bits about doing this whole thing.

Anyhow, it's off to bed with me. (Have you ever noticed how many times I end my posts that way? Jeez... it's like I'm always trying to squeeze that one last post before bed in. Crazyness.)
