New Thor Hi-Res Official Movie Photos

Now that the filming of Thor is underway, Marvel is releasing more and more official movie stills of characters from the film. First up is a very Excalibur like photo featuring Chris Hemsworth as Donald Blake attempting to pull Thor's mighty hammer Mjolnir out of a rock.


Next up is the second photo featuring Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Anthony Hopkins as Thor’s father Odin. I don’t know about you guys think, but these photos are just plain beautiful! I just really love the shine everyone’s armor has…do we think that’s natural or computer enhanced!?!


And last but not least is a photo of Thor, Odin, Loki, Frigga and the Warriors Three all standing in Odin’s Hall of Asgard. This is definitely the coolest picture of the three, and from my moles at San Diego Comic-Con it sounds like the Marvel booth features an exact replica of Odin throne. I can only imagine the types of pictures being taken there this weekend!


Thor is premieres in theaters on May 6th, 2011.

SDCC 2010 Exclusive Thor & Captain America: The First Avenger Mini One Sheet Movie Posters

This weekend at San Diego Comic-Con 2010, Marvel Comics will be giving away two exclusive mini one sheet movie posters featuring concept artwork from their upcoming movies Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger! Both mini one sheet theatrical posters look beautiful, don’t they? The Blot just hopes the movies can look even half as good as these SDCC posters.


Thor is scheduled to premiere in theaters on May 6th, 2011, while Captain America: The First Avenger will debut two months later on July 22nd, 2011.

Scott Pilgrim Screen Print Series - A SDCC 2010 Exclusive

Oni Press, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Daniel Danger’s Tiny Media Empire have teamed up for a limited edition run of Scott Pilgrim faux concert posters. Each of the four silkscreened gig posters feature a band from the Scott Pilgrim comics by Bryan Lee O’Malley including: Sex Bob-omb, Clash at Demonhead, Crash & the Boys, and Kid Chameleon.


Tiny Media Empire and three powerhouse artists have each lent their style to one of the bands in the Scott Pilgrim series. Kevin Tong, best know for his gig poster work with Sonic Youth, Weezer, and Wilco, took on the Scott Pilgrim series’ quintessential band Sex Bob-omb. Daniel Danger, founder of Tiny Media Empire, put together a legendary video game reference masterpiece for his Clash At Demonhead gig poster. Underground comics favorite, Hellen Jo, used her trademark vibrant style for the quirky Crash & The Boys, and gig poster pros Aesthetic Apparatus have created an iconic gem for Scott Pilgrim’s high school band Kid Chameleon.


These four silkscreened four-color 18″x24″ posters are hand numbered and will be sold as a complete set at San Diego Comic-Con 2010. 200 sets will be sold at the Oni Press SDCC booth #1833 for $120. In addition to the full sets, 300 copies of a Mettalic Ink Varient of Kevin Tong’s Sex Bob-omb gig poster will available individually for $35.



Can’t make it to Comic-Con? No worries, each artist will have a limited quantity of their own poster available for sale on their website after the convention.

First Look: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Action Figures by Mezco Toyz

The Blot knows nothing about these new Scott Pilgrim action figures by Mezco Toyz other than they’re 6 inches tall…but don’t they look amazing!?!


Evidently these Scott Pilgrim 6” action figures tie-in with the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World motion picture, but appear to be based on Pilgrim’s look in the graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley. I’ll be sure to post more about these awesome toys as details emerge!

The Scott Pilgrim live action movie adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, premieres on August 13, 2010

First Look: Sketchbot Variants by Steve Talkowski

New York artist Steve Talkowski debuted his two Sketchbot variants last night at the DKE Toys SDCC booth #4732, and these two new Sketchbot colorways look great! The first new colorway is a Blue Sketchbot with a paintbrush, and the second colorway is a Purple Sketchbot who comes holding a Fountain Pen.


If you’re attending San Diego Comic-Con 2010, be sure to stop by the Dragatomi SDCC booth #3848 and say high to Steve during his official Sketchbot signings on Thursday, July 22nd, at 11am and Saturday, July 24th, at 11am.

SDCC 2010 Exclusive Sket One Condiment Combo Pack: 3” Mustard Dunny & Sketchup T-Shirt

On Wednesday at San Diego Comic-Con Preview Night, Kidrobot released a special SDCC Exclusive Sket One Condiment Combo Pack, which includes a 3 inch Mustard Dunny and a KR Sketchup t-shirt! The Blot’s been unable to confirm whether or not this 3” Mustard Dunny is a SDCC exclusive, but according to the KRonikle this is a pre-release. So I assume this means the Mustard Dunny is an unannounced Series 2010 variant figure?


The San Diego Comic-Con 2010 Exclusive Sket One Condiment Combo Pack from Kidrobot retails for $45. And if anyone was wondering if Sket would be releasing a Mustard follow up to his hand made custom 8” Sketchup Dunnys, you’re in luck! Sket announced yesterday that a set of 10 8” custom Mustard Dunnys are in the works and would be released soon.

Handstyle Pink GID 5 Inch Custom Mad’ls by MAD

For those of us unable to attend San Diego Comic-Con, MAD’s doing his best to alleviate our pain! Besides announcing on Twitter that a new run of 10" DIY blank Mad’ls will be released soon, yesterday the Kansas City artist unexpectedly dropped a set of 13 custom Handstyle Mad’ls on never before seen PGID (pink glow-in-the-dark) 5” Mad’ls!


For those of you wondering where these PGID Mad’ls came from, here’s the scoop: MAD was sent a handful of pink glow in the dark plastic samples from the factory, so he decided to doodle on them and make them available on his online store. These awesome doodled 5” figures were available for purchase on a first come, first serve basis. Each one is different, and all are hand drawn with a purple Sharpie.

Each Handstyle Pink GID 5” Custom Mad’l by MAD comes signed & numbered on the back, packaged in a black re-sealable bag, and retailed for $35 here before selling out.
