One of The Blot’s New Year’s resolutions for 2012 was to start covering some new companies here on TheBlotSays.com.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Super Bowl Ad



Every time I see a new G.I. Joe 2 trailer all I can think is “why didn’t they do this with the first movie!?!” If you took the story, director and actors of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and added a few of the characters from the first film I truly believe you’d have the perfect live action G.I. Joe movie. I haven’t even seen it yet, but all you need is more Duke and some Scarlett to make every G.I. Joe fan’s dream come true. At least this time they got Cobra Commander and Zartan right (have you seen the Zartan action figure yet?).

My only complaint with this film is the weird billing for G.I. Joe 2. Have you noticed the website and all of the trailers have it starring Byung-Hun Lee with Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson? Really??? How does Byung-Hun Lee get top billing over Willis and The Rock? From the two trailers I’ve seen so far, this seems to be The Rock’s film with some awesome ninja scenes mixed in. But what do I know?

G.I. Joe: Retaliation storms theaters on June 29, 2012.

Wow, it’s truly amazing that the same company that announced those lame Kidrobot Mascot figures earlier this week can turn around and unveil this masterpiece yesterday! Inspired by myth and folklore, supernatural events and walks in the woods behind their studio, 64 Colors weaves together tales both real and imagined to create the Supermagical 8 inch Dunny. Supermagical is a strikingly beautiful but merciless sentinel of the forest…The Blot just hopes Kidrobot’s QC can live up to 64 Colors’ amazing designs.

Oven Fresh Dreams x Gabriel Gozzer Collaborate & Dream T-Shirt “Devil’s Dozen”

Oven Fresh Dreams x Gabriel Gozzer Collaborate & Dream T-Shirt “Devil’s Dozen”

The seventh installment in the "Collaborate & Dream" t-shirt series from Oven Fresh Dreams went up for pre-sale this week and it’s pretty dope to say the least! “Devil’s Dozen” was designed by Gabriel Gozzer, a talented tattoo artist out of Portugal, in collaboration with Carlos J. EasyBake of OFD. As Carlos explained on his website, “the term devil's dozen was the original name for what is now known as the baker's dozen (13). So when I linked up with Gabriel, we both knew that fusing dark symbolism with a tattoo flair was the way to go.”

The Oven Fresh Dreams x Gabriel Gozzer Collaborate & Dream t-shirt “Devil’s Dozen” is currently available for purchase via the OFD online store for $24.99. I definitely recommend snagging one while you can, because this limited edition t-shirt will definitely starting running out of sizes soon.
