Crash, Bang Wallop What A Film!!!

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Martin

We’ve just crashed back to reality here in the beast office after witnessing a visual treat in the form of the new movie : Avengers Assemble. I’m sure many of you have seen said treat and will agree that its awesome!!! The first big blockbuster of the year certainly lived up to expectation.

Unless you’ve been living inside a Russian doll for the last 20 years or more I’m guessing you know the story, t brings together the characters from the Marvel Studio releases Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America, as well as a whole host of great integral Marvel characters.

We love films with a passion here at BadgeBeast and find inspiration from geeking out on films to create our film button badges.

The first installment was the first Iron Man movie back in 2008 starring Robert Downey Jr and since then an Avengers movie has been highly anticipated. For the massive Marvel fan boys out there the wait for this film goes even further back. But whether your a full time Marvel geek or just interested in the other films of the series you will not be disappointed, i myself sat there for 2 an half hours gob smacked and could have easily watched it again once it had finished.

That said i am no doubt gonna spend the next few weeks watching all the previous movies and anything to do with superheros. Except maybe Ben Afflecks Daredevil and that awful Cat Woman movie. Also throw Elektra in there!!

While i am not geeking out i will be coming up with designs for a new Comic Book Button Badges category here at Badge Beast that will include comic book / superhero inspired images. So you can feel super when cracking open a beer with our badge bottle openers or look mega man cool sporting the said images on our badge range. We will be sure to keep you up to date as an when these come together. So i best get on it, BADGE BEAST ASSEMBLE!!!!!

Happy Easter from us here at Badge Beast

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Liam

We hope your all enjoying your bank holiday weekend, shame the sun hasnt fancied sticking around for a few extra days but i guess we could still be up to knees in snow!! The weather does have a slight Day After Tomorrow feel about it at the minute, Eek! You never know tomorrow could bring Spanish like sun, fingers crossed.

The Beast office will still be in business serving your button badge needs as well as debuting a few new designs. You will see this weekend our Keep Calm range will expand with some ace new takes on this best seller including my favourite Keep Calm and Kill Zombies. We’ve enjoyed a 30minute laugh fest at Keep Calm an Whack it, hehehe!! A massive dose of South Park while working helps us create these gems :) We will also be busy getting out orders and cracking on with new designs but we will find time to sit back with a big brew a giant bag of mini eggs an watch Back to the Future (of course all 3).

So eat chocolate til you vom an watch every feel good film you can, enjoy yourselves badge fans and HAPPY EASTER!!!

They wont warm your feet but they will give your eyes a treat!!

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Martin

These crazy little creatures are the creation of Sadie an Cat at Stitches an Scribe. These lovely ladies went into business at the start of 2012 and are getting lots of interest already for these fuzzy lil fellas. The ‘sockies’ as they are know are made up from a pair of socks (awesome). They come in all different shapes, sizes an species each one unique with its own personality.

The sockie comes with a little book telling the story of said sockie an how to care for it, they also come with a 25mm button badge (supplied by us here at badge beast) reading ‘ I Heart Socks’ fantastic!! My personal favorites are the dinosaur sockies especially bobaraptor and snoutasauras, if like me you love socks an dinosaurs then you need one of these in your life! We are currently in talks with the ladies about getting some of the crazy characters on 25mm badges and possible other badge beast items for them to sell on with the sockies. I could totally picture one of em on a fridge magnet or keyring.

All that talk of dinosaurs has given me the itch to watch Jurassic Park unfortunately i don’t have it!! My birthday’s coming up next month though :) Hint Hint Hint!!! Will have to settle with Jaws for now!!

Anyway before i get sidelined by the awesomeness of Spielberg i would like to wish the ladies at stitches n scribe well with there adventures from Sockland and hope to hear good things from them in the future.

Snow Snow Snow – Also availiable on a button badge

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Liam

Ok so i woke up this morning to loads of snow, but now to worry as the BeastBeast office is literally a ten second walk from the post box. This comes in handy for us as we are often racing out to the post box just minutes before the postman arrives to collect the mail but also means we have that extra bit of time to make sure orders go out on time.

25mm I love Snow Button Badge

25mm I love Snow Button Badge

Our I heart Snow 25mm Button Badges normally take a downward turn in terms of popularity at this time of year but if the wintery wonderland that greeted me this morning is anything to go by then i would imagine a few people with be getting their snow button badges ordered a little later than normal.

Also available on a range of other products including key rings, bottle openers and compact mirrors the i love snow design hopefully wont be topical for too much longer as all of us here at BadgeBeast would like the sun back asap. In the meantime though might as well enjoy one last snowball fight and then condemn it to the wintery memories for another 6 or 7 months.

Finally ill leave you with this link to a government article on clearing snow and ice, just in case anybody doesn’t know how to do it the good old direct gov website has some lovely patronising tips.

More bottle openers added today.

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Liam

Adding products to our site and making sure that they are presented in the best possible way can be a very time consuming job. This is why were all working flat out in the BadgeBeast office to make our new range of badge bottle openers live on our site ASAP. today we have added the second installment to our i heart bottle openers range.

As the bottle openers are listed in alphabetical order we are currently up to the letter F and more specifically, i love farting in the bath. Because this is a completely new product to us the bottle openers currently being added are the same designs as our existing button badges and key rings.

No need to worry though as well as listing all of the existing designs we also have plans to launch some new fresh and fun designs over the coming weeks.

As always if there’s anything a bit out of the ordinary you would like then let us know, we sell all our products as custom items as well as our own original designs.

As promised a few days ago on the blog, our new Button Badge Bottle Openers Have been launched and are looking great.

We are getting all the designs on as quickly as possible but if you don’t see the design you would like in the mean time then please let us know and we will get it sorted for you.

For the time being the first bottle openers to launch are our ‘i heart badge bottle openers‘, we don’t quite have them all on but this should only be a short amount of time until they are all available.

Button Badge Bottle Openers – Sneak Preview

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Liam

This blog post is born mostly out of impatience but i couldn’t wait to show off our new product line, the products in question are our fantastic new 55mm button badge bottle openers.

As you will see in the picture they look awesome and are suitable for opening all manner of booze from your favorite real ale right through to a cold crisp bottle of lager.

Our Brand New Button Badge Bottle Openers coming soon.

The bottle openers come with a detachable keyring part so can be used out on the move or can be removed from the keyring  and kept handy at home. As with all other products we make the bottle openers by hand in our UK workshop with everyone checked for quality.

The bottle openers will be stocked across our whole design library so any design you like on any of other products will soon be availiable as a badge bottle opener. And of course as always you can even order one and have your own design, slogan, name, band logo or grandmas face printed on the front to show the whole world. If you are interested in a custom bottle opener all you need to do is order one from our custom bottle opener page.

Measuring 55m in diameter the button badge bottle openers fit into the palm of your hand comfortably and open bottles with ease, you can be pop’in bottle tops off like a pro in no time.

I guess that leaves one more thing for me to do then and finish off this box of Heineken  bought in anticipation of our new product. Its a hard job but i guess somebody has to do it. :)
