Nerd Block Classic October

Was disappointed that Nerd Block decided to ruin the surprise for most of the items in the block this month.  I had a hunch about the 2-pack vinyl and then NB announced it was indeed a companion to the Alien vinyls from last month's Horror Block.  The Jem and the Holograms item that was hyped up all month was announced as a comic and the Gizmo tee design was revealed.  For me, this took away from the 'mystery' aspect.

What's in the box???



This month there the lewt is divided into TRICKS and TREATS

TRICKS
Exclusive Aliens Ripley and Big Chap Xenomorph Vinyl 2-Pack

I have become quite fond of Titan Vinyls.  The details and painting are phenomenal.  These are the companions to last month's Horror Block vinyls.  Will look great on display or make a great gift for any Aliens fan.



TRICKS
Zombie Hunter Dog Tags

Pretty cool novelty dog tags for any zombie fan.  These are plated stamped tags-no decals or paint.  Katie is a zombie hunter in her free time so these are hers.



TRICKS
Shirtpunch PELTZER'S Pets Tee

Gizmo from Gremlins design tee that glows-in-the-dark as a Gremlin.  I haven't verified the GID aspect of the tee but it does have the GID residue feel.




Onto the TREATS


TREATS
Bob's Burgers Mad Libs

As a fan of both Mad Libs and Bob's Burgers, this is right up my lane.




TREATS
Exclusive Jem and the Holograms Outrageous Annual #1

Some blocks had the chance of having this signed by the original Jem.



TREATS
Exclusive Moe Coaster





I am usually a coaster snob but there are always exceptions.  This is a metal-cast coaster slathered with my favourite animated bartender, Moe.  It has a cork bottom so drinks don't slide all over the place.  Definite keeper.
