Adopt A Goblin

If you are feeling out of place or need someone to hang with at a convention or con, just Adopt A Goblin. You can set this up by contacting us on FB or IG or by simply stopping by our booth and proclaiming, “Are there any Trashgoblins available to help me make a robot out of potato skins and spare tires?!” Like a wizard from tales of old, one of us will appear with a cookie cutter and hot glue gun ready to assist. *Note to reader: summoning Yuckmouth will unleash a plague of kazoo-wielding muskrats in pompadours. We are saving this for the apocalypse*
