Clear Rose with Glitter & White Bones Vinyl Figure by Mike Egan

Mike Egan surprised his fans last weekend with a new, super limited release of his popular Bones vinyl figure! The Clear Rose and White Bones stands 8” tall, is cast in a translucent rose colored soft Japanese vinyl with glitter and is hand painted white. The Blot’s a sucker for clear vinyl with glitter, and this rose vinyl really sounds out with the white accents. For such a simple figure and paint application these Bones releases continue to impress!

The Clear Rose with Glitter and White Bones vinyl figure by Mike Egan has a limited edition run size of just 13 pieces, retails for $60, and is currently available for purchase through Mike’s online store.

4-LOM 12” Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars Action Figure by Gentle Giant

Gentle Giant’s newest vintage Star Wars action figure reproduction is the android assassin 4-LOM! And with this release there’s only one more bounty hunter from The Empire Strikes back to receive the jumbo treatment, and that’s Zuckuss. My guess is that’ll be Gentle Giant’s next release for sure.

Digitally scanned from mint Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 12" tall, this Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars 4-LOM action figure by Gentle Giant is an exact replica of the classic ‘80s toy! Injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure includes a faithfully reproduced blaster, is fully articulated and comes packaged on a 1980s Empire Strikes Back style blister card (featuring the original front and “45 back” artwork) with a plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display this awesome action figure.

The Star Wars 12 inch Jumbo Vintage Kenner 4-LOM action figure by Gentle Giant is not expected to be released until December 2013, but it can be pre-ordered through Entertainment Earth for $79.99 here.

“Pillaging Pop Culture” Custom The Muppets Blind Box Series Wave 6 by Task One

Tomorrow, Sunday, May 19th, Tenacious Toys will be releasing the sixth and final wave of Task One’s epic Pillaging Pop Culture Series featuring The Muppets! This resin blind box series is a tribute to today's lowbrow artists who are pillaging icons from our childhood to sell art. This has been an epic series and Task will definitely be ending things with a bang with this last release. The Blot just can’t wait to see what the theme of Pillaging Pop Culture Series 2 will be!

Each wave of Task One’s Pillaging Pop Culture Series will consist of 3 Muppets characters, and Wave 6 includes The Electric Mayhem’s Animal, Sgt. Floyd Pepper, and Janice (see the first 5 waves here)!

Star Trek Into Darkness Final Movie Poster

After an extremely long hiatus J.J. Abrams and the cast of the Starship Enterprise are finally back! Kirk, Spock and Company’s continuing journey hits the big screen once again this weekend in Star Trek Into Darkness. The Blot’s done my best to avoid all spoilers, but since I probably won’t be able to see the film in theaters now that my new twin boys are here I’ve come to terms with the fact that it’ll probably get spoiled before I get a chance to see the film. I’m not sure I can wait that much longer to find out who Benedict Cumberbatch really is portraying in the film. 

I kinda expected a better final one sheet for Star Trek 2 than this one, but what’s more dramatic than the crashing of the USS Enterprise? Can’t wait to see what kind of box office the film brings in this weekend! Star Trek Into Darkness is set to boldly go into theaters on May 17, 2013.

SDCC 13 Exclusive “Batman ‘66” Batusi Batman Action Figure by Mattel & DC Comics

The dance craze that swept the nation is making its triumphant return at San Diego Comic-Con 2013! For the first time ever, this Batusi Batman action figure recreates the iconic dance from DC Comics’ classic 1960s live action Batman television series. Sculpted with the authentic likeness of Adam West and featuring a fabric cape, this figure has unique articulation and an internal mechanism that allows it to actually perform the Batusi.

The diorama packaging features vintage looking art from American artist Shag, and a sound feature plays music with a ‘60s vibe to perfectly capture the scene where Batman shows off his unique Batusi dance moves. The packaging is designed so the Batusi dance moves can be activated without having to remove the figure.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive “Batman ‘66” Batusi Batman Action Figure can be purchased at the Mattel SDCC booth, with any remaining stock made available for purchase after the convention at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

In addition, each figure comes with its own wooden display base that will include a mini print telling each character’s personal story.

First Look: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Extended Promo

While this show should be right up The Blot’s alley (I love me some Agent Coulson played by Clark Gregg), up until this week I really wasn’t all that excited for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. First off, who cares about the human S.H.I.E.L.D. agents other than Nick Fury and Coulson!?! It’s the super heroes we all know and love! Plus the new ABC television series’ name is horrible. Does it really need to be that long with so much punctuation? But then something crazy happened…even with its lackluster cast Marvel did what it always does, release a kick ass promo! It probably doesn't help that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is produced by Joss Whedon.

Check out the newest Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. extended promo above and then tune in Tuesdays at 8pm EST this fall on ABC for the adventures of Agent Phil Coulson and the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

SDCC 13 Exclusive Masters of the Universe Mini He-Man & Skeletor 2 Pack

Typically there’s always one San Diego Comic-Con exclusive by Mattel or Hasbro that really comes out of left field. This year that completely random release is this Masters of the Universe Classics Mini He-Man and Skeletor Set. Oddly enough these mini action figures appear to be an offshoot of Mattel’s now defunct DC Comics Action League. That line never really got off the ground, so I’m surprised Mattel would make a similar line of MOTU mini figures.

These mini versions of He-Man and Skeletor feature six points of articulation (arms, legs, waist and neck), include snap-on accessories such as a power sword, shield and havoc staff, and come packaged in a foldout mini Castle Grayskull diorama! He-Man also includes his trademark shield, which features the traditional j-hook allowing it to be held out in front instead of clipped onto his arm.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive Masters of the Universe Mini He-Man and Skeletor 2 Pack can be purchased at the Mattel SDCC booth, with any remaining stock made available for purchase after the convention at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.
