Gabriel Luna + Felipe Smith talk Ghost Rider

Felipe Smith is one of our favorite creators, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is my favorite superhero tv show, so I enjoyed this brief featurette featuring Felipe and Gabriel Luna, who brought Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider to life (Felipe in the All-New Ghost Rider, and Luna in AoS), talking about their histories with the character and the new Sideshow Collectibles Ghost Rider figure.

Peep the new MADVILLAIN track and figure, AVALANCHE!

You swear you stay fresh, but you ain't even know about that new MADVILLAIN figure did you? The one that comes with the 7" vinyl release of MF DOOM and MADLIB'S single AVALANCHE? Oh, you did? I guess I was the only one who didn't know...

New Usagi Yojimbo Plushie coming in May!

According to those fine folks at Dark Horse, Stan Sakai is celebrating the 25th anniversary of everyone's favorite Rabbit Ronin with an all-new plush toy, with art direction by the creator himself!
for those who don't already know,  Usagi Yojimbo is a long-running comic set in seventeenth-century Japan, with anthropomorphic animals replacing humans, featuring the lovable rabbit ronin, Miyamoto Usagi, who wanders the land as a shugyosha (student warrior on a pilgrimage), occasionally selling his services as a yojimbo (bodyguard). Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most celebrated ongoing comics, adored by critics and fans of all ages for the last twenty-five years.

The new Yojimbo plush will stand fourteen inches tall from his carefully detailed sandals to the tips of his movable ears. Stan Sakai, who provided extensive reference art for the project, oversaw every detail in the design process.

“I have always thought that a doll of this type would be an excellent presentation of Usagi,” Sakai remarked, “and have been happy to assist as the prototype evolved with commentary and revisions. I think he came out very well indeed.”

There are already well-received Usagi Yojimbo AME statues, so fans can look forward to adding to their collection of Usagi t'ings! The upcoming Usagi Yojimbo plush toy hits Diamond’s Previews this month, with an on-sale date of May 2010, so you can pre-order from your comic shop, or on Amazon.com.
holla!

Second verse, same as the first

here's concept designs for Ravage and Megatron from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. i have what can only be described as a Love-Hate relationship with the first film, so i expect the same for the sequel. according to Micheal Bay, Paramount has purchased an advertising spot during the Super Bowl (Feb 1st) to premiere the first trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
and, because i am a total nerd, here's some video of kids with Transformers costumes that ACTUALLY transform!

uno!

nostalgia...

remember the Starriors?
man, i remember playing with these... i was one of those kids that mixed my toys a lot. GI Joe vs Transformers vs Starriors vs Star Wars, etc. Starriors were actually pretty crappy toys- not very well articulated compared to other stuff... but i had a REALLY good imagination. and they were CHEAP, so i had a bunch of them! there was a pretty good comic based on them from Marvel. i guess every decent toy got a comic back then... it was the thing to do!
good times...
anyways, happy new years! i gotta get back to work...
uno.

Deviant of the Day

i was wasting time on Deviant Art and ran across this DOPE plushie of Nightcrawler (my favorite X-Men character) which was hand-made by *pheleon. Note how she hooked up the very Catholic X-man with the fresh rosery beads, for his Hail Mary's!
NICE!
