Mezco is offering another set of Mez-Itz’s at Comic Con.  This time, it’s for my favorite movie of the year so far, Kick-Ass.  The bundle comes with Kick-Ass and Hit Girl and mini version in keychains.  This one is cheaper than the $40 Batman & Joker bundle that Mezco is also offering.  The set can be purchased for $35.

I really dig the Kick-Ass figure.  It captures his nerdiness and blood all over his face makes it funny.  Hit Girl looks like a turtle so I’m digging it too much.  I hope they’ll release Big Daddy soon…..KRYPTOOOOOOOOONIIIITE!…

I’ve been to Anime Expo, the past couple of years but I still don’t know much about the anime community.  I mainly go for the impressive costumes and the cool people.  While I still wanted to hang out with the cosplayers and take pics this year, I wanted to learn more about the Anime Culture.

So on Saturday, July 3rd, I started asking attendees about their experiences.  I also talked to voice actor Kyle Hebert and several people from Artist Alley.  Although I’m still far from being an Anime expert, I was glad I talked to a wide range of attendees.  …

In one of the more unique panels at Anime Exp 2010, Hollywood discussed the failures of anime based movies such as the high budget Speed Racer and the CG animated Astro Boy.

Northrop Davis (producer, screenwriter) moderated the panel while  Nobuo Masuda (Bandai Producer), Jason Hoffs (VIZ Productions), Race Owen (Decipher Pictures Founder and President)  and Joshua Long (producing live action (Cowboy Bebop movie) were the guest panelists.

The panelists agreed that making a succesful transition from anime to a Hollywood movie is a tough task.  One major reason for the failure is the appeal of the movies.  What sells in …

For the Vash fans that weren’t able to watch the subtitled screening of Trigun: Badlands Rumble at Anime Expo, there’s good news!

Funimation announced at the AX panel that Badlands Rumble, will be released in 2011.  When asked if the movie will be released at theaters, the panel just responded with a simple “stay tuned for wonderful news.”

Trigun: Badlands Rumble opened to mostly positive reviews in Japan on April 24, 2010.  The major consensus from reviews said it captured the spirit of the tv series with humor, action and drama mixed in.

Never heard of Mez-Itz?  Well think of  Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs but created by Mezco.  Mez-Itz looks identical except there figures has a neck.  The Batman and Joker set will cost you $40.  I guess the prices for these are also higher compared to the Mighty Muggs because those retailed from $10 -$13.

Batman looks good and Mezco put a nice touch by including a batarang.   I wish Joker came with a tommy gun but DC probably didn’t allow it.

You can pre order these bad boys here.
