Stanley Kubrick Production tees & more!

I received a newsletter from Dolls Kill today with a selection of 'pop culture costumes'. Amongst them, they had one they called the 'Strange Pleasure Costume Set', which is quite obviously A Clockwork Orange inspired.

If I celebrated Halloween & was willing to wear something so revealing, I'd be all over that... but alas, it's a bit extreme for me.

However, as I stared at this costume, I noticed her bag! The 'Got Milk Crossbody Bag' is also available from Dollskill & honestly, I'm so eager to buy one! I'd probably never actually use it, but it's a visual I need in my home!

It's such a fun item & really an obvious creation when you think about it. How are there not more milk-carton A Clockwork Orange things in this world?!?!

DollsKill also stock products from O-Mighty, including this epic 'Stanley Kubrick Production tank'.

If you're looking for a variation on this design, there are multiple different choices on O-Mightys website, but Dolls Kill seem to be out of stock of them all except the cropped tank.

For anyone seeking a basic unisex t-shirt, Mondotees stock a 'Stanley Kubrick Production' t-shirt as well, amongst may other Kubrick inspired products!

And while I'm here, Dumbgood also have a huge range of Stanley Kubrick inspired t-shirts at the moment! The A Clockwork Orange t-shirt is obviously my favourite. Nice & simple with Alex on the front & the title on the back.

Dumbgood have multiple designs based on A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining & 2001: A Space Odyssey available. It's a pretty impressive range & definitely worth having a look!

There's always something 'Kubrick' inspired out there to wear, but these are just my latest findings. I truly love the concept of 'Stanley Kubrick Production' shirts, super fun idea! Hopefully I'll acquire one one day. For now, that milk bag is my mission in life!

End of 2016

I completely procrastinated getting this blog post written, but I just wanted to share my last few ACO acquisitions of 2016 before the new year gets too far along.

I recently shared two Mini Kubrey figures that I added to my collection. Literally a couple of days after making that blog post, another one arrived! This was a completely unexpected gift from a friend of mine & a VERY welcome addition to my collection! I had been eager to own this blank version, but it was a New York Comic Con exclusive & honestly never expected to hold it in my hands. Thankfully, my friends often prove me wrong!

I've also added the 'masked' Alex DeLarge Pop! Vinyl to my collection. I had a friend inform me a few stores on ebay were letting them go cheap, so I grab one. As per tradition when it comes to Funko toys, the quality is a little lacking. There's a small paint fault on it's nose that bothers the hell out of me.... I'm considering buying another. For now, I hope to stumble across the OG version the wild somewhere.

The last addition to my ACO horde last year, was a X-Mas gift from my Dad & his wife. I had yet to own a audio copy of ACO, so this was a unexpected & greatly appreciated gift! I haven't listened to it yet(working through other books I got for X-Mas currently), but I'm eager to delve into it!

It was a good year for new additions to my collection. Let's hope the new year brings more of the same!

miniKUBREY - Monolith - Codeczombie

To my great surprise, Codeczombie started working on mini versions of his Kubrey sculpt a few months ago. I was so excited, but had to wait patiently for an online release(with one or two conventions releases to tease me in the meantime). The day finally arrived & Codeczombie released 3 different versions! Monolith(black), Redrum(red) & Typewriter(yellow).

Being poor, I had to settle on buying only one. I went with the Monolith version because currently I'm indulging a 2001: A Space Odyssey obsession, also who doesn't like black? I'm seriously considering saving up for the other two while they're still available.

Perhaps due to my continued patronage, Codeczombie send me an extra mini Kubrey! It was a fantastic surprise when I opened my package! I've been told it was intended to be orange, but as it was a colour trial, it turned out fleshy. Either way, it's a one-off & it's a wonderful new addition to my Kubrey collection!

I'm a huge fan of Codeczombies work. His skill with design & the excution of his ideas amazes me! I'm so proud to be the owner of some of his work & remain very excited to see what he creates in the future!

The new minis have found a home in my cabinet with my full-sized blank Kubrey. A lovely contrast of colours, that I can only hope to add more to in the future!

The mini Kubreys are still available, you can buy them here: miniKUBREY

I honestly couldn't recommend these little chunks of resin more! For only €25.00 they're a total bargain.

You can follow Codeczombie on facebook, instagram, Tumblr & Twitter.

Kubrey by C O D E C Z O M B I E & Fancy Edition Ice Scream Man by Brutherford Industries

I have two new toys to share with you today. I know I've been a bit slack with my blogging recently(have another post I'm still working on, that technically, I should have posted about a month ago... but I'll get there), but I'm determined to put more effort in(few changes in my life lately, really need to find something to pass the time).
So anyway, back to the point. During some recent browsing, I ended up on ViciousFun(they constantly have things I want) & I noticed they had acquired a Fancy Pants Ice Scream Man.

Though I had no funds at the time, I instantly contacted them about international shipping & a couple of weeks later, it's mine! Really a stunning piece, all hand made by Brutherford Industries. It took me two years to hunt one down(in fact, it's one of the toys that inspired me to start this blog: here), but it was worth all that effort!!! Not technically 'A Clockwork Orange', but I read rumours that that's where the inspiration came from. Regardless, it shall live amongst my ACO pieces.

A few weeks ago I became aware of C O D E C Z O M B I E, just in time for them to release a Stanley Kubrick inspired toy called a 'Kubrey'. Three versions were created, Regular, DIY Blank & 5 FLUO figures(each a different colour).

Regular version


FLUO Versions


Blank DIY version

I was greatly concerned I'd never acquire one, they're a little pricey for my usual cash flow. Thankfully I have some awesome friends & my best friend offered to purchase the blank version for me for my birthday. Last weekend he popped around with it & now it has a place in my cabinet(as you can see, my collection has migrated to the top shelf of my cabinet).

It's a stunning piece of resin. 4.3inches tall & surprisingly well balanced considering the size of the head(& the tiny size of the feet!). Truly one of the most amazing pieces I own! Eager to see what C O D E C Z O M B I E creates in the future.

Definitely toys worthy of my collection. I'm insanely happy about these acquisitions. Hopefully I'll have more new stuff to share soon. It's been one of those years where money has been a struggle, but that hasn't stopped me!

The Blonds - FW15

A little something different today. I just learned that a A Clockwork Orange inspired collection made it onto the catwalks of Fashion Week 2015. The Blonds put together an amazing collection. It's wonderful to see Kubricks influence within fashion & I thought I'd share it.

The show was opened with Wendy Carlos's take on, "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary." A wonderful statement to the inspiration for the collection.
I'm really in awe, I rather hope I can find somewhere in Brisbane where I can view these pieces in person.
I recommend checking out The Blonds facebook page for more photos of the collection!

The Simpsons Kubrick-fied or 'Kubrick in Yellow'

Well, as it's been mostly blogs about recent acquisitions(& old ones) recently, I thought I'd change it up a little today. I'm a big fan of pop culture, absolutely LOVE seeing parodies of things I love, in other things I love. So today, I bring you 'Kubrick in The Simpsons'.
Now, there was MANY MANY reference to his films & this blog could get a little long, but I'm going to try & limit myself as best as I can.
So enjoy, Kubrick in yellow.
