Looking for a last minute gift for that special someone in  your life? Hot Topics has a series of limited edition vinyl/T-shirt packages available featuring No Doubt, Michael Jackson, Slipknot, etc. Most of them suck, but the real treat is Guns ‘N’ Roses “Appetite for Destruction” on orange wax with the original iconic logo shirt. While I’m not a huge proponent of Hot Topics, the package is on sale right now for about $17. The vinyl is not 180 gram, but the orange color is pretty bad ass.

This has some sentimental value for me, because I spent the winter of 1988 (could have been ’87) saving all my Christmas money to buy Appetite on tape. I didn’t have the guts to ask my parents to get if for me for the holidays, as it was one of the first records to sport a parental advisory logo, but I needed to have it. I some how convinced my mom to let me loose in the Livingston Mall to blow my Christmas cash. After failing miserably to convince employees at Alwick and Sam Goody to let a 10 year old buy such a vile record, I scored at The Wall and the rest is history. Best record ever, and a great gift for that naughty boy or girl in your life.

Ironically, I purchased the gift set at the Livingston Mall where there are currently no music stores.

My favorite custom Dunny in recent years gets a production piece. Kid Robot announced this week that an 8-inch version of Huck Gee’s classic Hello, I’m Insane custom will be available on Mischief Night (10/30) for the low price of $50. This one is limited to 500, and is one of the few new figures that Kid Robot has released the production run for, so expect it to disappear pretty quickly.

The guys behind the documentary “Toypunks” have released a teaser trailer for the upcoming movie. The film delves into the relationship between designer toys and punk rock and features interviews with the creators of Secret Base, Bounty Hunter, Frank Kozik, Balzac, and more.
