Check out this super adorable video made by Alexander Thoms and Alisha Farjami, starring Colin, Booh, and their friend Logan,! I especially love the park footage and though this video is described as 'a homemade film' it looks pretty professional to me! Incredible work guys! Thank you so much for including our guys in such an awesome movie.

Our design team has been hard at work coming up with ideas on how to translate our monsters into halloween costumes and on Friday the first finished prototype was revealed. The result was a super fabulous and totally wearable Kevin suit, that was as true to the original monster as you can get!

At the beginning of September we joined forces with the Zimmertwins for a 'Back To School Drawing Contest'. We asked you to submit a drawing depicting the '8 Bit' gang and the Zimmer Twins heading back to school all together.

I heard from the people over at Zimmer Twins that the entries were all so excellent that they had a tough time choosing the three finalists! A big thank you goes out to everyone who participated!

Our monsters had the best time hanging out with all the stars that passed through the lounge in the midst the festival fever.
