‘AT-AT Day Afternoon’ Video Turns A Mechanical ‘Star Wars’ Beast Into A Lovable Pooch

This was to cute/cool not to post. Very creative, I loved it. I wish I had the time or the creativeness to do fun stuff like this, but for now I thank all those people who can and who can bring a smile to my face. Great job!

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Official Trailer

I have only started being a Harry Potter fan the last few years. I’ve never read the books and have only seen the movies on dvd. The only one that I haven’t seen is the first HP movie, which I will one day. Now seeing this trailer still doesn’t make me want to go out to the theater opening night but I will watch it. So far it looks great. Kinda sad that this will be one of the last Potter movies, maybe I should see it in the theater.

Let me know what you think.

Wonder Woman Lynda Carter Bust

In honor of DC Comics’ 75th anniversary, Lynda Carter’s archetypal portrayal of Wonder Woman is presented in bust form. Taking her trademark bullets-and-bracelets pose, the Amazon princess is perched on a base with a star theme that reminds one of the popular 1970s TV show.

I remember watching Wonder Woman as a kid. Man, I loved it. I pretty much loved anything that had anything to do with super heroes back then. Aaah, that was the life.

Star Wars Ralph McQuarrie Darth Vader Concept Helmet

This Ralph McQuarrie Darth Vader Concept Helmet Signature Edition is a limited edition of only 250 pieces worldwide! This helmet is digitally sculpted from an original concept sketch, chosen by Ralph McQuarrie himself! The helmet is made of high-quality fiberglass, machined metal details, leather lined interior, comes with custom display stand, numbered signature plaque, and certificate of authenticity.

Ralph McQuarrie designed many versions of Darth Vader’s sinister breathing mask during pre-production on Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The art remains one of his favorite pieces and is now brought to you first in the Concept Series!

Whoa can this be a start of something new? I love the Star Wars McQuarrie Concept figures and only need a few more to complete that line, but this maybe a new love for me. This is really pricey and very limited. I wonder how much I can get for my liver?

Green Lantern Blackest Night Power Ring Spectrum Set

Embody the entire emotional spectrum of Blackest Night with this special light-up ring set from DC Direct! Featuring designs authentic to the comic, each of these wearable, adjustable plastic rings (one each in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, white and black) instantly lights up with a long-lasting LED bulb when slipped on a finger. The light can be turned off manually to preserve the battery, and batteries can be changed by using a special key included with the set. Packaged in a deluxe window box, the rings also make a beautiful display when they’re not being worn.

Oh man, this is friggin’ cool. The last few months I’ve been googling how to make an actual glowing power ring, now all I have to do is coming up with some cash and then I can continue to be the biggest geek in my subdivision.

Trailer: Predators

Pretty cool. I’ll definitely watch this movie, just probably on dvd. If I was younger I would probably watch this on the opening weekend but now that I’m pretty ancient and with kids I have to choose how I spend my time and money a little more wisely. I didn’t think the trailer was bad. The only thing is that I’ve seen this formula (in a movie) before, it works but the trailer doesn’t excite me to go out to the theater and watch it.

What do you think of the trailer?

He’s a hero, not a crook! This superb prop-replica set from Watchmen features the Comedian’s trademark side arms (with the commemorative handle grips presented by President Nixon), a plaque recognizing his service to his country, and his military-issue dog tags. The Comedian’s guns are cast from the actual props used in the movie! You’ll be the hero in your neighborhood with this in your collection!

This is pretty cool. I’m not the biggest fan of the movie or the graphic novel but I still think this prop is pretty cool.

Movie Trailer for The Green Hornet

This looks pretty entertaining. I grew up in Canada and they never showed the Green Hornet while I was younger. I knew of the show primarily because of Bruce Lee. Even until now I still have never seen a Green Hornet show. I have no idea if GH is suppose to be a comedy or if the main character is suppose to be a bumbling idiot. For now I’ll keep myself entertained by watching trailers and looking at pictures until this comes out on dvd.

Let me know your thoughts after watching the trailer.

Abigail Whistler 12″ figure

Whoa, this is an unexpected surprise. Sideshow and Hot Toys are producing Abigail Whistler from Blade: Trinity. Even if you’re not a fan of the movie how about being a fan of Jessica Biel? This is a great likeness, I can’t wait to see more pics of this figure.

Aragorn as Strider Polystone Statue

A lot of the comments left on the site talk about how the sculpt doesn’t really look like Viggo. I have to agree, Sideshow has a hard time nailing his likeness. It’s pretty close but not quite there. Although with each attempt it’s getting that much closer, I actually like the way this kinda looks.

I remember my first disappointment was the Aragorn 12″ figure, I remember being so excited about getting it and then when I finally had it, I was “crushed”, I was thinking “who’s this?”. Oh well, SS did a better job than Toybiz did with their likeness.

I can’t wait to see what the rest of this line looks like.

Sideshow please let me be able to afford this.
