Fur Face Boy Series 4 T-Shirt Collection

Fur Face Boy is in the process of retiring his fourth series of t-shirts, and The Blot thought I should highlight this awesome collection of designs before the shirts were all sold out. You see, once a FFB shirt is retired and gone, it’s gone forever. So if you see a design here you really like, you’d better head over to the Fur Face Boy online store and pick one up.

The Blot first found out about Fur Face Boy a few months ago and I instantly fell in love with his pop culture inspired designs, especially some of his early comic book logo tees (check out Series 2 and 3 for those). What’s even cooler is FFB is a fellow Texan who’s located in Dallas. There’s definitely a little something for everyone in Series 4, which includes a Mickey Mouse inspired FFB design, a Nirvana tribute tee and a t-shirt featuring Mega Man Fur Face Boy style!

The Blot was bummed I didn’t get to meet Ha, the mastermind behind the Fur Face Boy brand, when I hit up the FFB booth at the H-Town Sneaker Summit a few months ago. He was off eating lunch at the time, but at least I got to snag some FFB tees. The Mega Man shirt in all its 8-bit glory is a personal favorite of mine.

As I mentioned above, FFB Series 4 is being retired to make way for Series 5, and to celebrate that fact all tees are currently on sale at the Fur Face Boy online store for just $19.99 (and sweatshirt are $29.99). To further entice you to pick up some of these awesome tees, Ha has even made all domestic shipping a flat $6 per order no matter how many t-shirts you purchase. It’s a killer deal from a great indie brand, but be sure to act fast as Series 4 will definitely sell out soon!

Thor Character Movie Poster Set 1

Building upon the Thor Portrait Movie Poster Set released earlier this month, the marketing team behind Marvel’s upcoming film Thor has released a somewhat new set of character movie posters. The new Thor Character Movie Poster Set includes six different one sheets, each featuring a primary cast member of the film (Thor, Odin, Loki, Jane Foster, Heimdall and Sif), and does so with an interesting muted color scheme.

The Blot likes how they’ve highlighted each character’s primary color and they did a great job creating a unique tag line for each poster, especially with Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster. The Blot had no idea what they would use for a poster of her, but you knew Natalie would have to play a major part of the film’s marketing campaign. It’s just hard when she’s the lone human surrounded by a bunch of really cool Norse gods. I don’t know about you, but at this point Thor is still at the top of my list of must see comic book movies coming out during the summer of 2011.

Thor, starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, and Jaimie Alexander as Sif.

Barneyism of the Week - Tools

Yeah, here’s the thing about me and tools.

The only one I know how to use is attached to me,
and I am not going to try putting it in the TV…again.

How I Met Your Mother

Man, was last week's episode of HIMYM great or what? It was definitely one of The Blot’s favorite episodes of the season if not Seasons 5 and 6! Yes it was a tad melodramatic, but the entire season, if not the entire series, has been building to Barney finally meeting his dad and I think the end scene definitely paid off. I’m interested in seeing how soon we’ll see Barney’s dad again and how their relationship progresses. Thankfully with CBS’ announcement that they have renewed How I Met Your Mother for two more seasons there will be plenty of time for Craig Thomas and Carter Bays to bring back John Lithgow’s Jerome Whittaker.

According to Wikipedia (take that for what it’s worth), Lithgow will definitely be appearing in future episodes and play a part in Barney’s relationship (or lack thereof) with Nora. While that’s all fine and dandy, The Blot wants to see more of Barney interacting with his half-brother JJ. I can just picture it now: Barney turning sweet little JJ into a mini-Barney, suit and all. It would be legend…wait for it…dairy!
