Tenacious Toys Exclusive Fire & Ice Tint Gread Resin Figures by LYS0L

Tenacious Toys Exclusive Fire and Ice Gread Red & Blue Resin Figures by LYS0L.jpg

If you follow The Blot on Twitter then you already know about this exciting release from Tenacious Toys! TT has reteamed with Dead Hand Toys for not one, but two new exclusive colorways of Lysol’s popular character Gread. Dubbed Fire and Ice, these red and blue tinted resin figures really show off the amazing things an artist can do with resin as a medium. The only aspect of these figures that are actually painted are the eyes, the rest of the color comes from the tinted resin itself! Don’t the colors of these two just pop?

Each handcrafted, hand painted Tenacious Toys Exclusive Fire and Ice Tint Gread resin figure comes bagged with a header card and retails for just $15! Lysol’s newest bog monsters go on sale this Wednesday, August 24th, at 6pm EDT in the Tenacious Toys online store exclusives section. The question is, can you get just one?

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Trailer & Teaser Movie Poster

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Theatrical One Sheet Teaser Movie Poster

Sony has made the film absolutely no one was asking for, a Ghost Rider sequel! Who in their right mind green lit this film? A reboot/relaunch I can understand, but a sequel starring Nic Cage? Horrible! Then again, I can also understand their blind desire to get a second Marvel Comics franchise off the ground. But wouldn’t they have been much better off with a soft reboot than an official sequel?



It’s not all negative though. The first official trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is actually pretty good (well all except the last few seconds). I love Ghost Rider’s new look, and the action scenes look great. It’s just too bad they had bring back Cage as Johnny Blaze. And why in the hell is there a scene of Ghost Rider peeing fire? That’s just bizarre.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance blazes into theaters on February 17, 2012.

Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 2 by Funko

Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Bobble Heads Wave 2 - Jedi Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, C-3PO & Gamorrean Guard

It’s official, Funko will be continuing its line of collectible Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads! Wave 1 seemed pretty popular with fans, and I’ve got a feeling Wave 2 will be even more so with a diverse line-up that spans all three films of the original trilogy. Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 2 includes Jedi Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, Boba Fett, Darth Maul and a Gamorrean Guard.

While The Blot loves Funko’s Pop! toy line, I still wish some of the waves weren’t bobble heads. I’m sure it’s a licensing issue, but I’d prefer 1 point of articulation instead. Either that, or maybe make them with removable stands. Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 2 won’t hit store shelves until November 2011, but you can pre-order all six figures from Entertainment Earth here for $9.99 each.
