Johnny Cupcakes Midnight Delights SITCM Volume 7

A wee trip to London this weekend brought a very welcome surprise!

I've been a fan of Johnny Cupcakes for a few years but never managed to get a hold of any of the t-shirts. Friday evening at 6pm the Carnaby Street store in London were opening to sell the Something in the Cupcake Mix Volume 7 box set of three exclusive Halloween tees. I didn't expect this to be a thing, but when I walked past at 17.20, there was a queue running down the street. It was only about 15 people long at that point, so I joined and waited. And I'm glad I did! Stock was limited and plenty more people joined the queue after me (shout out to the friendly guy that chatted with me about Adventure Time! My wife went to look at Christmas decorations in Liberty...).

They come in this excellent box, which is detailed brilliantly and lots of fun. It opens like a book and gives you the name of the three shirts that are inside.

I love the tees that were made for this year, all in the style of old school pulp horror novel covers, or old horror comics. There are 2 black shirts and one grey (the grey being my personal favourite).

First up is The Baker's Bones. The screaming woman in the blade of the knife being held by the zombified baker's hand is a nice image. The tee also has a small wrap around tag at the seam in classic orange and black colour scheme and the Johnny Cupcakes cupcake and cross-bones logo can be found on the back, just below the neck, in a nice red colour.

Next is my personal favourite, Terror Rises, which is a cupcake blob monster attacking a woman in the lake. I just really love the image on this one, and the grey sets it off nicely.

Again, this tee comes with the tag at the bottom seam, and the JC logo on then back.

And finally, we have The Cupcake Corpse, with the image of a melting skeletal woman trying to give her beloved a tasty treat!

This tee is my wife's favourite of the bunch, and it's definitely a close second behind Terror Rises for me. This shirt, of course, comes with the tag, and logo, just like the other two tees in the collection.

I'm really glad I got to pick these up and they're a good price for three Johnny Cupcakes shirts. If you're interested you can visit Johnny Cupcakes here and check out the full range of shirts.

My Geek Box September

I got my very first My Geek Box this month, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed.

It comes in a big blue box with some graphics on it and is filled with geeky fun! This month was apocalypse themed - let's take a look...

Taking a look in, this is what I saw...

Firstly I got a little My Geek Box magazine that is due to be a regular fixture featuring interviews with cosplayers and the like, and a flyer for a zombie survival experience

I got a copy of the Max Brooks authored World War Z

A glow stick for when the power eventually dies

And a Twinkie for much needed sustenance (that I gave to my wife as she's a Twinkie fan!)

I also got a toy! Aw yeah! A Funko Mystery Mini The Walking Dead mini-figure! I stopped watching the show about half way through the third season, it really wasn't holding my attention. The comics are excellent though, and as a mystery mini fan, this was always going to be a win.

I was hoping for a zombie, but I was pretty happy with the character I got. As with all of these mystery minis, the figure is blind bagged as well as being blind boxed

So you want to know who I got...

I got Merle Dixon and - this is the cool part - it's the blood spattered variant!

I really like that it's the knife hand Merle too, he's a very nice minifig with neat paint and a great sculpt. But at this point, it's too be expected from Funko.

And finally we come to the monthly tee - every month My Geek Box send a t-shirt. This months tee is a very yellow offering themed on the hit videogame Fallout

It's just a regular round neck tee, bright yellow, with pipboy proclaiming the coming apocalypse

I'm not a fan of the Fallout games, but this is quite a fun shirt which I'm sure I'll rock at some point!

For £16.99 a month, I think it's a pretty good deal and I'm certainly willing to give this another few months to see what is offered. I'm looking forward to next months as it's Nightmare themed for Halloween, which is incidentally my favourite time of year. I'll be sure to do an unboxing for it so stick around!

Dark Bunny Tees Guardians of the Galaxy Baseball Tee

I don't think this will be a regular thing - unless of course people like it - but I thought I'd do a little review of my new Dark Bunny Tees Guardians of the Galaxy shirt.

I can't really put it better than Dark Bunny Tees itself: Dark Bunny Tees sells "Limited Edition Movie and Television Inspired Apparel". As a self proclaimed geek, this is my kind of t-shirt site! Also, DBT is a one man operation, so to support someone that's putting it all out there is well worth it. This isn't my first DBT purchase, but it might be favourite, and I own the superb Die Hard Christmas sweater!!

So you can expect DBT to deliver your shirt in a sleek black bag with the cool Dark Bunny Tees gas mask logo.

And inside - another bag! Keeping your nice new shirt fresh and lovely.

The shirt is a really nice quality and a great fit. I don't own any other baseball shaped tees, but the design of this adds itself brilliantly to the specific shape of this shirt.

Speaking of which, the graphic on this shirt is so cool! Making the Guardians into a baseball team was a master stroke, giving them a cool logo and a great mascot in Starlord with his mask and headphones on.

Giving the Galaxy Guardians the nickname of The A-Hole Allstars is just great too, a really neat touch.

Finally, I don't know what my favourite feature about this shirt is. I can't tell if it's the small Rocket Racoon silhouette...

Or the name and number on the back...

Either way, this is an excellent shirt and I highly recommend you check out DBT here, on Twitter, or on Facebook!
