I was living in West Hollywood.  I had a friend, a really funny guy.  Loved music, loved tattoos, loved comic books, loved horror movies, a big Star Wars fan.  We met skateboarding in the quads at Santa Monica City College.  A funny group of folks hung on the quad – Mike Eizinger

I wake up, excited, feelings of surging adrenaline, anticipation; I can hardly control my speed – my brain a million miles a minute, my speech volume on 10, my feet fast as Scooby Doo’s.  The sun is piling in the open aired home.  A breeze settles.  The flowing fabric, rippled in waves, like the movement of a flag proudly cresting it&rsq

When I was 19 I got a job at a NaNa, a sort of punk rock atelier.  A fresh face from Orange County, new to LA, just enrolled in Santa Monica City College, came to LA to play in bands, make records and make it big (so I thought).  Anything music related I was drawn to.  I had begged a friend’s girlfriend who had managed a NaNa location on 3^rd Street in Los Ang

There are only three moments during the evolution of TLS that I had friends or a girlfriend take an actual photo of me signing a contract.  These three moments were life markers, measuring my belief and my believed stations of critical magnitude for TLS.  The first photo is when I signed the Hasbro contract.  “Proud” lacked definition compared the feeling I had.  It was pure joy, wonderment, disbelief – as if I was awarded a movie roll on the next Leonardo DiCaprio blockbuster.  “Who, me!?”   When

"La-dee-dee-la-dee-da!"  Spring is here!  The flowers are blooming, the leaves are sprouting, dogs and cats are tap dancing, jackets are being stowed away, a fresh new batch of short sleeve shirts are making it to the top of the wardrobe heap, socks are coming off revealing some pale loafs that once resembled feet, and folks like TLS™ are clearing space in their warehouse for a new batch of Action Vinyls™ goodness.  In order to do so, we need to create an awesome sale.  Just so happens said space is being occupied by rem

I was in 8th Grade in 1987.  Reagan was eating Jelly Beans and forgetting his words, Ollie North was up on Capitol Hill testifying/lying in front of Congress on all the backend arms deals and subsequent insurgence funding for coups d’états in Central America, “Welcome to the Jungle” was blasting out of everyone’s Walkmans, Tony Hawk took asymmetrical skater hair to zeitgeist levels, John Hughes couldn’t make a movie that sucked, T&C Surf Design dominated the backs of every teen and preteen rocking dayglo Zinka and a sweet p

Here's an update on the balance of the innaugural SDDC Goods - Skatedeck, Thundercats Lion-O + Snarf 2 pack, and Mega Man will start shipping from our facility Jan 5th.  The balance of Tees and Totes will be completed and shipped Late January.  Aliens (the last figure from the innaugural launch) will be delivered with the bulk shipment in March/April.  We've learned quite a bit this innaugural year for SDDC.  The goal is to make extremely limited products for our Members.  We are capped.  We will not add anymore memberships.

Starting Wednesday (Tomorrow) at Midnight EST, Ending Cyber Monday at Midnight PST.  Only at www.theloyalsubjects.com - Happy Thanksgiving!

Hitting the Highway singing My Little Pony tunes from long ago memories; Saturday Morning cartoons - swirls of pink, glitter, girls taking small toy hair brushes to the manes and tales of these adorable Ponies, setting up the Ponies for Tea or social activities - you know the one!  That infectious song!  "My Little Pony!  My Little Pony!

It's been an honor for TLS to have the opportunity to work on DBZ in our Action Vinyls format.  What a great legacy, what great characters, what great stories!  These exclusives are one and done so definitely hang on to them.  In each retailer packout, all things considering these were very low runs.  More so, we packed a lot of awesome in each figure; including killer articulation, interchangeable hands with different grips, all 7 Dragon Balls, a Shenron Build-A-Figure (FREE!), a Power Up base, accessories and collectors cards!

Hello all DBZ/Action Vinyls/TLS faithful!

When the DBZ General Release packs hit circulation, you may notice that the Super Saiyan Vegeta is labelled as a chase.  This is in fact not the case.  The ONLY chase figures in the General Release are the 1/24 Kid Buu and the 1/96 Super Saiyan Goku.  Super Saiyan Vegeta is common in the Walmart exclusive which eliminates it from being a chase in all other sets.  Although still limited edition, more of this particular character exist than a 1/48 edition.
 

Hello DBZ Fans and Collectors!  Another exclusive set is hitting retail.  Hot Topic's Exclusive packout from DBZ is available now!  Very limited in availability and includes THREE NEW CHASE Figures, including; Metallic Krillin (1/96),  Metallic Super Saiyan Vegeta (1/48) and Neon Vegeta Club 28!  A single Gold Super Saiyan Goku with official stamp, plus two prototypes are also hidden in the packout!  This will be collectors first shot at Gohan too!  Shenron Build-A-Figure is also hidden inside the 12 count Power Pak!

Joe fans and fans of the Action Vinyls Universe!  AND they are available at your local Hot Topic now!

Waiting on the door step (T-Minus 4 hours and counting) of another great TLS showing at SDCC!  Here are the updates and schedule (below):

The thought process was simple - How can we give our HxC Loyalists the best of TLS, make it insanley EXCLUSIVE, cap the membership for life and as long as our TLS Family retains this Membership we'll give them the ride of their life, and currency to trade inside the TLS Universe and Community.  The Answer was more simple - let's give them everything under the sun and then some.  Only 1000 Members for life and we'll call it the Super Double Diamond Club.
