SDCC 2010 Exclusive DC Universe Classics Plastic Man Action Figure

It looks like the long rumored DCUC Plastic Man action figure is finally seeing the light of day at San Diego Comic-Con 2010! Sadly, it seems like Mattel is continuing its trend of releasing a figure as a “SDCC Exclusive,” when really only one of the figure’s accessories is exclusive to the Con (see the Wonder Twins release with SDCC exclusive Gleek).


While the Plastic Man action figure will be available via MattyCollector.com after San Diego Comic-Con, the Plastic Man Suitcase will only be available at SDCC in extremely limited supply. The DCUC Plastic Man, which will retail for $20 each, has interchangeable standard arms, stretchy arms, giant form hands (a fly swatter and a bouncy ball with racket), and interchangeable stretchy neck and leg springs.


The Plastic Man Suitcase is packaged in a poly bag and comes free when you purchase DC Universe Classics Plastic Man at SDCC 2010. You can attach Plas’ arms, head and neck to the suitcase as if he had disguised himself as a suitcase. Open up the suitcase and find chip art comic book covers from the 75 years of DC Comics. Frustratingly, The Blot predicts the Plastic Man Suitcase to sell out in 1-2 days at San Diego Comic-Con, similar to the ridiculously fast disappearance of Gleek at last year’s convention.

The Losers Final One Sheet Movie Poster

After weeks of hype, The Losers finally premiers in theaters today! To mark this special occasion, The Blot is proud to share with all of you the film’s final one sheet movie poster. With both The Losers and Kick-Ass in theaters this weekend, my Saturday is set…I’ll be hitting up a live action comic book adaptation double header!


While Kick-Ass and The Losers are very different films, it’s probably a bad thing they were released in back-to-back weeks. I hope both films to do well, but I’ve got a feeling they’ll end up cannibalizing each other’s audiences over the weekend, which will end up crushing one of these films’ box office take. The reviews of The Losers have been pretty positive so far, but its rating on Rotten Tomatoes is only 43%. (link) Here’s hoping my violent Saturday lives up to the hype!

The Losers premieres in theaters today, April 23, 2010.

Fast on the heels of the Pink Haze Big Sal is the return of Super7 's loveable mascot, Mummy Boy! Mummy Boy is cast in smoke grey maximum glitter vinyl with black spray and a huge pink grin. Considering The Blot’s love for Super7, I’m more than a little ashamed to admit I’ve never purchased a Mummy Boy before. That’s all about to change on May 1, 2010 as I’ll definitely be picking up this awesome looking figure. The more clear vinyl Super7 can produce the better!
