The Legend of Minosu Ushi-Oni & The Golden Bull by Huck Gee

Wow, that’s really all The Blot has to say about these latest hand painted custom figures by Huck Gee. Huck returns to the Gold Life world once again this week and revisits everyone's favorite bull headed, golden armored, hammer wielding, skull crushing beastie: the legendary Minosu Ushi-Oni Munny.


According to the myth, Minosu patrols the massive labyrinth-like grounds of the Glorious Soaring Munk's secret mountain retreat perched atop his mega-mammoth-ian mount, The Golden Bull. Armor fitted, gear packed, flag mounted, and drum strapped... he's all set for the harsh job ahead.


These hand crafted figures will be released this Friday, April 10, 2009 at Noon PST. Each set of figures is numbered, signed, and comes with all of the accessories shown above. 10 sets of Minosu Ushi-Oni and his trusty steed The Golden Bull were created, and each set will be sold for $1500 at Huck Gee’s eBay store.

New X-Men Origins: Wolverine Movie Poster

The Blot is really quite surprised at how big of a role Cyclops has in the upcoming Marvel Comics film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now I haven’t actually seen the movie yet since I have chosen not to watch the illegally leaked copy that hit the net last week, so who knows how much of the movie he is actually in. But the character is showing up in all of the trailers and is now featured prominently in the film’s latest promo movie poster seen below.


Cyclops’ inclusion in X-Men Origins: Wolverine started out as a mere rumor, but it was quickly confirmed when the character briefly appeared in one of the film’s early teaser trailers. It’s nice to see the founding member of the X-Men return to the silver screen after the raw deal he got early on in X-Men: The Last Stand. This time around Cyclops will be portrayed by Tim Pocock and I’m interested in seeing how a young Scott Summers fits into the tale of Wolverine’s movie origin.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens in theaters on May 1, 2009.
