A-Type Vinyl Figure Rai Red Colorway by Andrew Bell & mphlabs

Mphlabs and artist Andrew Bell have teamed up to bring the myplasticheart heart-shaped logo to life in the form of a platform toy called A-Type. It was designed with customizing in mind, and is incredibly versatile as far as display and presentation goes. The figure features two large surface areas, and has the ability to stand upside down, right side up, sitting down, or even hanging! The A-Type vinyl figure is built for variety and later on this week you’ll be able to buy the very first A-Type colorway entitled “Rai Red” designed by Andrew Bell.

The A-Type figure is made of vinyl and ABS, is 8” wide and stands 6” tall. The Rai Red A-Type vinyl figure will retail for $50 each. A blank white DIY version will also be going on sale later this week and can be purchased for just $35.

Thor Official Trailer #1

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, the Thor live action movie looks freaking awesome! If you don’t believe me, check out the trailer below, because it’ll blow your mind. They even found a way to make the Rainbow Bridge look cool. The only thing I dislike about Thor's first official trailer is the ending where they announce it’ll be shown in 3D. Hasn’t this fad run its course yet?



Official Synopsis: Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the epic adventure Thor spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Thor will premiere in theaters nationwide on May 6, 2011.
