The New MattyImposter Contest by Faker Matty

Are you a fan of toys and action figures? Do you hate when companies destroy their own social media? Then join the revolution by joining “Faker Matty” and the gang at MattyImpostor as they rail against the establishment (i.e. Mattel and MattyCollector.com). Faker Matty (like Masters of the Universe’s Faker a.k.a. Fake He-Man, get it?) skewers all the hilarity that is Mattel’s failing customer service at its new Facebook page www.facebook.com/RoyalImpostor.


As an added bonus, Faker Matty is holding a contest in honor of its new Facebook Fan Page. Everyone now has the opportunity to win an original "Faker Matty" or "BrattyDeleter" watercolor painting by artist Ryan Hipp. To enter, just become a fan of MattyImposter and when it hits 100 fans, Faker Matty will hold two (2) random drawings to win an original parody watercolor. These watercolors will make the perfect addition to any collector's toy room as a constant reminder of your favorite bumbling toy company.


The Blot’s hoping to host an upcoming installment of "Ask Faker Matty," so be on the look out! In the meantime, go check out the first ever installment of “Ask Faker Matty” here at Toyriffic.

Transformers Mighty Muggs Wave 3 In Stores Now

In case for some strange reason you aren’t following The Blot on Twitter, I have some very exciting news: Transformers Mighty Muggs Wave 3 featuring Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime, ROTF Bumblebee, Shockwave & Jazz can now be found at Toys R Us locations (and possibly other select retailers) nationwide! Are you as shocked as I am these can be found in actual brick and mortar stores? After first learning about the Shockewave and Jazz Mighty Muggs almost a year ago, I can honeslty say I never thought Hasbro would give these figures a large release.


I wasn’t sure if I was going to try and collect this wave or not, but once I saw the Shockwave Mighty Mugg in person I knew I had to have it. It’s all kinds of awesome. I love the figure’s paintjob, and his laser cannon turned out great. I haven't seen this reported anywhere yet, but after opening my Shockwave Mighty Mugg to the pictures seen below I noticed he has a "power cord" connecting his laser cannon to his back harkening to the character's look in the old Marvel comic books. How cool is that!?! It's little extra touches like that which make Mighty Muggs so great. Well done Hasbro!


Transformers Mighty Muggs Wave 3 retails for $11.99 at Toys R Us.

Kick-Ass Character Movie Posters Set 2 Part II

As promised, here is Part II of the second set of Kick-Ass character one sheet movie posters. The Blot loves the marketing campaign for this comic book adaptation, but who knows if it’ll be good or not. Anytime Nicolas Cage shows up in a film’s credits The Blot gets very nervous. Cage doesn’t exactly have a sterling track record of picking blockbusters these past few years.



You can see Kick-Ass Character Movie Posters Set I here and Set 2, Part I here.

Kick-Ass stars Nicolas Cage, Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and debuts in theaters on April 16, 2010.
