Ho Ho Holiday Androids & Playge Collaboration!

First up is our new holiday Android mini! A little delayed, but luckily they should be here in time to be under.. or on the tree for our U.S. collectors! I’m afraid they’ll be a bit too late for our international friends this time around. The amazing designs of Series 04 are extra awesome, but unfortunately they took us a little longer than usual to get out to the world resulting in the Holiday Android production being pushed back a few weeks. Never too soon to get a start on decorating for next year, right?

Ornamental Android comes in both blue and red matte metallic finish with silver glitter, an ornament topper insert, and a small metal hook. They will be sold individually for $10 each with a limit of 2 pieces (one red + one blue or two of one color, your choice!) BUT a limited quantity will be available in a special 10-piece “Tree Pack” that contains 5 red and 5 blue ornaments for $90!

Quantities are limited! Sales start in the Dead Zebra Shop on Tuesday, December 10th at 11am EST and again at 11pm EST. Shipping starts towards the end of the week and through the week after. U.S. customers please select Priority Mail if you want to make sure you receive them by the 24th, you might have luck with First Class mail, but no guarantees! Sorry, we’re a bit too late for international orders to arrive in time!

For those of you who are less glitter and more gore.. I’m happy to announce that the 9″ custom Misfortune Cat that I created a few years back has been turned into a production piece! Meticulously and magically miniaturized and translated by Playge into in 4″ of vinyl and abs, produced in an edition of 500pcs, includes cat and skull accessory. Available now at many toy and specialty retailers for around $55, a small set of signed and numbered proofs will be available in the Dead Zebra shop early next year.

Frankie Frost flies high for the 2012 Holiday Special Edition Android mini!

Look up! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s ..suddenly really cold and snowing. Must be Frankie Frost flaunting his frozen flakes in your face! Seasoned Android artist Scott Tolleson brings us this cool new holiday special edition modeled after the classic stop motion characters of yesteryear.

Frankie starts flying next week from the Dead Zebra Shop starting at 11AM (EST) on Thursday, December 6th and again that evening at 11PM (EST) for $10. Limit is two per customer so you can keep one and gift another!

Shipping out starts December 10th, non-US customers who want to guarantee holiday arrival should select Priority Mail International shipping method, as First Class International can take 2-5+ weeks to arrive.

Toy Soldier – Android Special Edition

Tis the season for Androids! Gary Ham once again ushers in the winter weather with a special edition Android mini collectible Toy Soldier design! Each soldier includes a decorative removable key accessory that fits into a hole in his back.

The first batch will be available in the Dead Zebra Shop starting Wednesday, December 14th at 11AM Eastern Standard Time. The second batch will go online Wednesday, December 14th at 11PM Eastern Standard Time.

Unfortunately due to a combination of production and shipping delays we’re cutting it a bit close for x-mas, but most US orders via Priority Mail should arrive before the 25th. Luckily these guys are cool enough to display year round!

Since we know people will want to give some of these away, we’re raising the initial limit to TWO per person/address. In the spirit of the holidays, please don’t try to buy two for yourself and two more for your cat who lives suspiciously close to you. We reserve the right to cancel any orders for any reason. If there is remaining stock after the initial releases we will put them back online for further orders, but I don’t think these will be around for long!

As usual you might want to brush up on the Limited Edition release FAQ , and take a peek at the Holiday Shipping Deadlines while you’re at it!
