So here I am, missed my chance at an S7 13th Box set because I am inexplicably not feeling that bee or that tee. However, I call mighty post teen teenager - Spanboy (fresh from his Union Party victory), and his unabashed enthusiasm stokes a fire deep within me. Newly buoyed, I abscond early from the pennitentiary where I spend my days making license plates, and avoiding picking up the soap. I drive like the wind through stormy streets, pot holes and long lines of traffic.....all to make it before the 7PM witching hour.

I miraculously find a space on a nearby non-permit street. Yes, I am feeling lucky.

With car ensconsed, I begin my purposeful march down the FABULOUS SUNSET STRIP. I have a meltdown in mind:



Finally the 13th box is in front of me, and the bee and the tee are truly spectacular in the flesh, and the box......



the box is so wonderful I feel all those header cards welling up inside me, and i have to show the box my true feelings:



and then its over, and I feel satisfied and thank the great rock n roll god in the only way possible: the DOUBLE DEVIL HORNS (with the 1000% saw head thrown in for good measure...oh yes)



There u have it, a photo story put together in 5 minutes from request to execution.

Special thanks for photos and inspiration: G-man and Spanboy!

Hahaha, great pics! That's a fresh suit you got goin on there, muton!

Thanks. I loves me suits I do.

When I'm not writhing around in a Henshin style tee that is.

Safari Suit. First glance, I thought you had "rescued" a Safari suit. Then I looked closer.

Come to think of it...I might be the only one here who knows what the hell I'm joking about.
70's "suit".

and I really liked you until u mentioned the S word........

Yes. I realised a line might have been crossed after I hit submit. I scrambled to stop my comments from going up, but it was like slow motion and ultimately useless.

NO one should joke about Safari suits. No one.

Bravo good sir! Fresh suit indeed...and nice tie knot as well. I can't stand a poorly tied tie...yes, I'm an ass...

i love silly pics.

you are the #1 ass kicker of the week imo

Carl-You rule!!!-BTW did you poke a hole in the back of that box??The pictorial was awesome!!

Great story Muton!

Do it with sunglasses next time.

I guess that is the span of sunset store?

Ike

Yup Ike, that is Span. Check out the amazing display case behind me. It contains rare BxH toys amongst other things (a Fink Shit that I have never seen before is particularly noteworthy). There is also a Pushead rarity display too. Worth a visit just to check out the radness in the cab.

Even the cabinet has a backstory...ohhh yes

and also, if u r of the rich punka persuasion, then they have a ceryain line of Japanese clothing which may well tickle your fancy....

That was awesome, although I did not get myself a fear of 13th skullbee I am now somewhat satisfied by living vicariously through your purchasing experience.

Now go take pictures of the rare fink shit please.

Good stuff!!!

cool story Muton. It's somehow much more satisfying when you go to an actual store and get a toy then when it comes to you in the mail. That just may be the hunter and gatherer in me.

I like both I guess. Anyway, I love going in Span 'cos its always a laugh talking to Yev, and the store is so cool. If I was in SF I'd be at S7 all the time as well.

Hey Mutonis, are you going to do a sequel in which this new toy - whatever it is - gets it in the face?

Maybe we should collaborate Hypno, as u r, after all MASTER of the Japanese toy photo story! Actually, my ideas are kind of random and unplanned - as opposed to thought out and meticulously crafted like yours!

Is that John Ritter? He came back from the dead just to collect SB! What more could you ask for!

All you need is Janet and Chrissy-lol Thats too funny Brian!!

someone snap a pix of the pushead display for us left coasters.
