Transformers 3D Ride Preview

Transformers 3D Ride Preview

Dave sent us a link to a video of the new Transformers 3D Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood.  It’s supposed to be “fans” breaking into attraction and getting some footage of it.  I think Universal wants this to go viral.  The Universal copyright at the end of the video proves it was made by them.  Regardless it looks really cool and the design is top notch.

The ride opens May 12, 2012.

Threadless Election 2012: Ninjas Rule & Others Fall

Threadless Election 2012: Ninjas Rule & Others Fall

hires2 Threadless Election 2012: Ninjas Rule & Others Fall

The world’s best shirt company, Threadless, is having an election and absurd candidates have joined the race.  But only one will prevail, the ninjas!

Dictionary.com defines a ninja asa member of a feudal Japanese society of mercenary agents, highly trained in martial arts and stealth (ninjutsu), who were hired for covert purposes ranging from espionage to sabotage and assassination. “

That’s all true, except for the “feudal Japanese society” jargon.  We all know ninjas exist amongst us today and loved by everyone. Having said that, this election will be an easy kill (pun intended) for our ninjas against …

ShadW 1 1024x479 Thirty Years of MOTU: Feb  Shadow Weaver, Fisto and The Sorceress!

Starting with Shadow Weaver the 2012 Club Eternia Exclusive figure.  This is the very first Shadow Weaver ever created in figure form that is officially from Mattel.  Shadow Weaver is the Hordes evil witch who serves Hordak but assists Skeletor in an episode of the She-Ra cartoon.  Having a lesser amount of articulation to keep the form of Shadow Weaver’s outfit, this figure is still detailed to satisfaction for fans.  The arms and head have the usual articulation with the base of the figure being open and showing …

Spawn 20th Anniversary Statue

Spawn 20th Anniversary Statue

spawn 20th product  04271 zoom thumb a Spawn 20th Anniversary Statue
It’s one of those I feel old moments again.  I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Spawn came out and became the #1 comic.  Through the years, Todd Mcfarlane (Spawn creator) also made great toys and made about 35 series or so of Spawn toys alone.  Most were well designed and well made but the last two years before the toy line were cancelled, the products had crappy paint job, broken pieces and smaller in scale compared to the other lines.

McFarlane stop making Spawn toys but now he’s just making statues.  This new one called “Spawn 20th Anniversary” looks …

Clamp No Kiseki Chess Set!

Clamp No Kiseki Chess Set!

I’ve played chess for fun since I was a kid and I enjoy it if I win or lose. The fun for me is in the game itself. I’ve been looking for a very special chess set for years and there are a lot out there–many have caught my eye, but none like the Clamp No Kiseki chess set.

Clamp C Boxed 1024x768 Clamp No Kiseki Chess Set!

Demo-Man and Alcala Skeletor!

Demo-Man and Alcala Skeletor!

It took over a month but finally I received Demo-Man, the last figure from the 2011 Masters of the Universe, Mattycollector.com, Club Eternia subscription.

D Man 0 Demo Man and Alcala Skeletor!

The white mailer box is great, like The Wind Raider and The Star Sisters it has a misprint of “Snake Mountain” printed at the bottom where “Cringer” was at the bottom of the Star Sisters box and “Battle Ram Chariot” was at the bottom of the Wind Raider box–it’s got to be a puzzle game…? OR, Maybe not–whatever.

D Man 1 Demo Man and Alcala Skeletor!

Demo-Man is an interesting figure, he is the original concept of Skeletor as Vikor is the concept of He-Man. …

ms threadless Threadless Designs Available In Xbox Marketplace

Threadless just announced that several cool designs from their shirts are now available in Xbox’s Avatar Marketplace.  The funny part is that the hoodies cost more than the regular shirts that your avatar will be wearing.  I guess pricing structure in the digital world is the same as ours.  The shirt will cost 80 MS points, while the hoodies will cost 160.

Here is the full list of the designs.…

Thirty Years Of MOTU: Jan- The Star Sisters!

Thirty Years Of MOTU: Jan- The Star Sisters!

The Mattycollector.com Masters of the Universe Classics subscription has begun again for this, the 30th anniversary of Masters of the Universe. New for this year is a 30th anniversary logo and a really messed up subscription schedule starting in the first month. The original Jan figure was The Sorceress–so much for that–which will be coming in Feb–hopefully.

The Star Sisters were created in the middle to late 80’s as the last of the She-Ra action doll line. The characters were in one episode of She-Ra: Princess of Power, where Bow was showing off for them with Shadow Weavers wand and they …

Hot Toys has teased us again with more cool movie 1/6th memorabilias.  This time it’s for the Nolan Batman franchise.

The first figure they have revealed for the upcoming Dark Knight Rises will be Bane.  Since it’s a teaser pic, it doesn’t show the whole figure.  The figure’s costume looks exactly the same as Bane’s in the clips we’ve seen.

Hot Toys will also be re-releasing the Tumbler that officially came out with the “The Dark Knight” line several years ago.  The patterns for Hot Toys re-releases is obvious now:  If it’s going for an arm and a leg on …
