Metalocalypse

AS had a bump this past weekend with Dethklok art by SKINNER which should be on a t-shirt soonest as per the bump.

Found a blog by ToyBot Studios with a closeup of the art- rather neat piece with Dethklok turning into monsters- and a copy of the bump.

Find It Here

And this is a link to the full length video of Skinner drawing the art.

It's almost 2 minutes long!

So I got online and saw the shirts weren't available for order yet. So I put in my email address, as they requested, so they could contact me when the shirts were available to order.

And I never got an email.

And now the shirts are sold out.

I feel so..... betrayed. 

.

[holkimcardie1]

It's still saying "Email me when it's in stock".  As far as I can see, it was never "in stock".  I put in my email before it was released and I've not seen an email.

[MetalMidLifeCrisis]

So.... I'm confused, has AS not yet released the tee shirts for sale, or did the tee shirts all sell out in a matter of minutes and they have to order more?

.

[holkimcardie1]

Well, we won't get the shirt after all.  From an email I got today:

Recently you requested notification from us when the following product was back in stock and ready for purchase:

Metalocalypse Monster T Shirt

We apologize, but this product will no longer be carried at AdultSwimShop.com. We hope you'll visit us at www.AdultSwimShop.com to check out our other products.

[MetalMidLifeCrisis]

.

Yeah I got the same email.

So why the hell would they offer the shirt and then turn around and un-offer the shirt? Sheesh.

  

.

[holkimcardie1]

And if you go to the shop right now, the main page has a 25% off Metalocalypse stuff sale.  And the shirt is a part of that!

[MetalMidLifeCrisis]

.

Hmmm, not quite. The shirt is featured in the 'teaser' but is not actually offered among the Metalocalypse sale items. *Disappointed sigh*

Oh well. I see the $40K Blood Fountain is on sale now, so hey, I'm gonna pick that one up for sure. I'll just put it on the credit card so it doesn't cost anything.

 

.

[holkimcardie1]

That was what I meant. If it was not available, it shouldn't have been on the page at all.

[holkimcardie1]

Aaaand the shirt is back on!  It's up in the shop for ordering!  Here

Yay! I ordered mine! Thanks for the update, Holkie!

.

[MetalMidLifeCrisis]

.

Yay again! It came in the mail today! And it is AWESOME!!!!!

.

[holkimcardie1]

Oh, cool!  Wish I had the bucks to get one.

[holkimcardie1]

you were lucky you ordered when you did.  The Adult Swim shop is shut down.  Don't know where we're going to get that stuff now.

[MetalMidLifeCrisis]

.

Well, I'm sorry to learn that the shop is down... but, I thought you already had a Skinner shirt, Holkie. Didn't you rate the product on their site?  (Please imagine an appropriate emoticon here, as AS boards do not seem to have a confused face...)  Maybe a month or so ago, I thought it was something about them giving credit to a different artist and you pointing out it was Skinner.

Since I'm on the topic -- do you happen to know who Skinner is and whether or not s/he has any more art for us to admire, Dethklok-themed or not?

.

[holkimcardie1]

yeah, I rated it because it was the only way to point out they had the wrong artist listed.  But I don't have any money to get one.  Very broke here.  We barely get by. 

And yep, Skinner (he) has a Facebook and a website.  Sells tees and books etc.  Just Google Skinner or more likely SKINNER.

here's a link to his Facebook http://www.facebook.com/theartofskinner
