Kid Robots new Eboy Peecol figures are set to be released on this Thursday. To celebrate their release we are having a Nuke Peecol giveaway. Nuke is the only Peecol figure which is not available for purchase, he can only be acquired through this special offer! How the giveaway will work:

In order to get a free Nuke you must visit our store and do your best Peecol impression. One Nuke per person. While supplies last. Easy enough, right? Learn more about PEECOL right here and, while your at is, visit NUKES Myspace page!

Zombie Zombies!! In the 90’s it was all about the pretty vampires and now it’s non stop zombies. It’s cool. We like zombies just fine. That is why MARVEL ZOMBIES 2 is the book of the week. Bonus that Robert Kirkman is penning the sequel. Believe it or not, Marvel also has MIGHTY AVENGERS #5 this week. Read it slow since it might be a few months before #6 comes out. Other lovelies include The BOYS #11, and even a Gothic Lolita to boot!

Victory - The Art of Phil Noto is behind us now. We hope all of you who made it out enjoyed the art, food, people, music and love that was showered upon you via Uberbot. Thank you, of course, to Phil Noto who has produced his second amazing show in our shop. It was certainly the quickest sell-out of an art show ever with every piece selling inside of 10 minutes.  We hope to do it again!! Also, thanks to Shane for the tunes - Pete for the promo assistance - Jim and San for the photos - and everyone who helped spread to word of this event and all of our other shows to your family and friends. We are thankful for your help in building a stronger sense of art culture in Central Florida! See you at the next event!! Photos after the cut!!

We hope you all have your calendar marked for Saturday for it is Phil Noto night at Überbot!!  Seriously, we are very much looking forward to seeing you all this weekend.  Phil’s paintings are sure to impress.  He has a fantastic selection of paintings both big and small.  If you are looking to get a piece, there is something for those who want a major investment and for people on a budget.  Tonight, we are happy to announce a very limited edition print from one of our recent favorites.  Phil Noto’s Falcon piece will be available with an edition of only 10 pieces!!  The print size is roughly 14 x 24.  We’ll have more information about this edition soon but we wanted to give you an official heads up.
