Yes, it’s online holiday shopping season and we have plenty of ideas (including a few items of our own!) for you, or the MSTie on your shopping list.

First of all, don’t forget that MST3K Vol. XXII, featuring TIME OF THE APES, MIGHTY JACK, THE VIOLENT YEARS and THE BRUTE MAN, will hit stores Dec. 6. And of course you can get many other MST3K DVDs at the Shout! Factory Store. If you are pre-ordering from Amazon, please use this link. Thank you.

Cinematic Titanic will release their next DVD, “War of the Insects,” on Dec. 2. All their products are available here.

Of course, the RiffTrax crew has plenty of gift ideas.

For the MSTie art lover on your list, you definitely want to check out Jean Jackson’s terrific “MST3K Prints” store on Ebay.

And last but (we hope) not least, here’s what’s new at our Cafe Press store: Amid all the usual stuff in our “Satellite News” logo shop, our annual “Shorts” calendar is ready to go.

You also may recall that about a month ago, I asked you for suggestions for catchphrases from the show to add to our “Catchphrases” shop. I selected 75 phrases from your suggestions (thanks again!), 73 of which got by Cafe Press’ terms-of-service rules (“Frankly, to me, every bra is a Wonder Bra,” and “Gamera is my boyfriend” were flagged as containing copyrighted words). Today we opened a brand new sub-section of the Catchphrases shop, with 72 of those phrases, emblazoned on both standard black T-shorts and fitted lady-shaped T-shirts. The other phrase “Dasher…boom! Dancer…boom!” was added to our Christmas phrases shop.

The phrases are:

And don’t forget the previous catchphrases, available in regular shirts and lady-shaped shirts. There’s also a hoodies section with selected phrases from the first batch. If there is a specific phrase from the new batch that you want on a hoodie, please email me (msampo at a-o-l dot com) and I will put it up there for you. (By the way, we have removed the white shirts with black lettering. Even though they were priced lower, they were not big sellers.)

Enjoy!
