New Where the Wild Things Are Teaser Promo Movie Poster

Do you know what The Blot sees every time I look at this new Where the Wild Things Are teaser promo movie poster? Sweetums from the Muppets! I know I must sound like a broken record, but why did Jim Henson not make this movie 20 years ago!?! Henson wouldn’t have needed the “high tech” special effects Spike Jonze is utilizing to make Where the Wild Things Are. Back in the day all Henson needed was fabric, foam and lots and lots of fake hair/fur. Heck, Sweetums could have even starred in Where the Wild Things Are as either Tzippy, Moishe or Aaron. Did anyone else know that Sweetums first debuted over 30 years ago in 1971’s The Frog Prince?


Where the Wild Things Are premieres in theaters on Friday, October 16, 2009.

UPDATE: New Green Lantern Uni-Formz Colorway

Yesterday DC Direct released the official solicitations for the upcoming Green Lantern Uni-Formz vinyl figure. You may remember that The Blot was initially concerned that the Modern and Guardian Green Lantern colorways looked almost identical. Thankfully someone at DC realized this too and has changed the colorways from Modern, Guardian and Power Glow to Modern, Classic and Power Glow.


The Modern version is dressed in the uniform Green Lantern is currently sporting for the upcoming "Blackest Night" story arc, which features a metallic-like hue. The Classic version features Hal Jordan dressed in his Silver Age tank-top uniform, while the Power Glow version gives GL a translucent green look from his power ring’s solid light energy.


Like with the two previous Uni-Formz releases, the Classic and Power Glow colorways will be produced in far lower quantities than the Modern Green Lanter Uni-Formz vinyl figure colorway. Now that the Green Lantern vinyl figures have been officially solicited, The Blot can’t wait to find out which DC Comics super-hero or villain is the next to be give the designer vinyl treatment.


These limited-edition vinyl Uni-Formz Green Lantern vinyl figures, which go on sale December 16, 2009, each feature 12 points of articulation, stand approximately 8" tall and are packaged in a deluxe 4-color window box.
