Then Pete of Brawndo and Sex Panther fame made us an offer we couldn't refuse. We're sending the winners real, gold-plated bobbleheads thanks to CV Vacuum Platers, Inc. (note: their website looks the same way it probably did last century, but that's because they've been so busy kicking ass and gold-plating things). Bring on the gold standard. Ron Paul is dancing a jig somewhere.
If you're one of those lucky redditors, you'll be pleased to know the aliens survived their first two stages (with pics!). You've seen the originals before, but consider this the "before-bling" picture. Our mascots had to be decapitated and removed from their bases for proper plating.
The base coat is very important because it prepares the aliens for their awesome journey.
Then they go into the vacuum chamber, where our resident scientist, Dr. Chris Slowe, assures us the magic happens.
Then they get their metal undercoat. It gives them a T-1000-like appearance. Real gold comes next. Unless we come up with a way to bring this little metal army to life between now and the gold-plating.
Oh, we're excited. Thanks again to CV Vacuum Platers, Inc. for rocking our world.
