Lost Love from Yellow Beak Press.
Filled with classic vintage tattoo flash from Coleman, Collins, St. Claire, Zies.... Thing is HUGE.

Is it as awesome as their other books Shawn? I've been holding off on getting it for no good reason.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

I'm a HUGE Born Weird fan, so it's hard to top that for me, but this one is great, yeah.
It's thick- like the Zeis book. Lots of amazing old flash; you can really see designs evolve when you see them from that many different artists over the years. For history geeks, it's a great pickup.

Except, apparently, in direct sunlight.

Wow, "Hand Painted" in "Non-Toxic Colors"! (Which colors are the toxic ones again?)

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

at least it's durable. Love the pigeon flying through the moon.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Here are the other two. so far I've only been able to find the one pictured above.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Whoa whoa, that octonauts suit just blew my mind. My 9 month old baby girl loves that show! I might need to get a few for Dad.errr..for us.

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

^ Sweet. I gotta get my shit together and order one. Did you get it direct from Stones Throw ? If memory serves....they have outrageous shipping/handling costs no ?

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Yep, and shipping wasn't bad...3.75 or something so $18.75 total.

I will tell you that I am not at all impressed with the physical production of this vinyl. Lots of sharp edges or little tag areas, and there's a significant spot on the non-guts side toward the center where the yellow printed color is messed up...maybe hand painted blemish cover up?

I haven't played it yet but I just saw a few scratches and what looks like writing indentations on playable areas?!? So I would proceed with caution! I got it mostly for display so I'm not too worried but overall it seems like a piece of shit though still a very cool looking piece of shit I will let you know about it's playability after I listen to it tonight.
