I think I'm going to start a trend with the I-Mockery Secret Santa Exclusive Figure. Every year, someone will get a random figure sealed on card with the custom label. Talk about a collectors item! I think it's appropriate that it started with Admiral Ackbar.
I was going to mention this too. It's pretty sweet

I shipped mine on Wednesday. According to the tracking info, it's been sitting in Aliso Viejo for the last two days. The estimated arrival date is the 11th.

Alrighty! So I received a package in the mail the other day and it turns out Batman Johnson is my 2012 Secret Santa! Let's take a look inside...
A plethora of presents AND a reference to what was probably the all-time worst Secret Santa package I ever received? I'm already liking where this is headed and I haven't even seen my first gift yet.
Kapow! Two fantastic comic books - issue #1 of "Monster in my Pocket" and "A Marvel Weirdness: Bizarre Adventures", the later of which has one of the best covers I've ever seen. That's a seriously frame-worthy image if I've ever seen one!
Oh yeah, I'm definitely sold on this comic. It even has Howard the Duck in it too. Score!
A stocking full o' surprises? Let's see what's in this bad boy...
Holy crap, that's a lot o' randomness! First off, we have a bunch of Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes. Sure, most of 'em got pretty mashed up, but I'm sure they'll look a whole lot worse inside my stomach where they'll be residing in the very near future. There are also some holiday themed Gobstoppers and Gingerbread Peeps to devour. Looking forward to trying those out along with the other candy cane Peeps I bought last week.
There's a bendy skeleton, and you can never have to many of those. There are two old gags - a Liquid Gelling prank and an Exploding Pen (somebody went shopping at Foy's!). There's a pack o' Mars Attacks trading cards, which is definitely cool, cuz I recently got the Mars Attacks book from Topps that features the artwork from all the old Mars Attacks sets.
There are four mystery eggs too, so let's see what's inside 'em:
Okay, a few novelty temporary tattoos for the holidays and some snowflake(?) rings. Works for me.
I was really hoping I'd get Luigi in that blind bag, and sure enough I did. He was always my favorite character to play in Super Mario Bros. 2, so color me happy.
Last but not least, I had one big gift wrapped in a separate package:
An "amazing" magic monkey! I've never had one of these creepy little guys, and they always make me think of Monkey Shines. He'll certainly make a welcome addition to my collection of knickknacks... but he also requested to appear in a video with me, so here ya go:
Euphorixlost and I sent out our packages yesterday, so they should be arriving soon. I sent one part of mine myself, and ordered one part to send to my victim directly, so they probably won't arrive together.
Also, Rog, did you have to stick your finger up the monkey's bum to get him to stop drumming?

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked the monkey, I was gambling on whether it was more awesome or more creepy. I think it's right in the middle. Foys had two rows of them and it immediately made me think of Monkey shines.
Just got my package today and my Secret Santa was Dimnos! Pictures will be posted as soon as I can get my hands on one of my roommates' cameras, but HOLY SHIT you went overboard, dude! Seriously WAY above and beyond the call of duty! Truly, truly awesome on every level! WOW.
THANK YOU, sir! THANK YOU, INDEED!

Awesome! That arrived super fast! With any luck the other portion will arrive later this week! And I'd love to see a video of the Mr. T in action. Well, I already played with it (YES, I TOUCHED ALL YOUR BUTTONS), but for the benefit of the others, a video would be cool!

Very nice 2 gifts: part 1, 10k! I would also like to see a video with each of the sayings as those things are crazy expensive for a sound bite keychain and I've been curious about the sound quality.

YAAAAYY!! I'm so glad you liked everything, Chris! Tell your wife I'm sorry about the lack of chocolate, haha. Thanks for the video - it was very entertaining (:
I got my package from marioRPG earlier last week, but I had it shipped to a spot where it was less likely to be snatched by drunk community college students.
Here's what I got:
Season 1 of Archer. Jon Benjamin has much better luck with cartoons than he does with live action.
Sharks in Venice! And giant sharks, no less. Billy Baldwin is also in the movie, but he was considered less of a draw than an unnamed gondolier being menaced by a giant shark.
How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You. It includes a lot of handy illustrations, but I knew my cats were plotting to kill me as soon as they starting attacking my feet whenever I walked past a chair they were hiding under.
But that's not all: a note that came with the stuff said there's another package on its way from "a somewhat unreliable site". What could he mean by "a somewhat unreliable site"?
Tune in next time to find out!
