First Look: Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye G.I. Joe: Retaliation Action Figure

Since her Wonder Woman pilot never took off, I guess the next best thing for Adrianne Palicki to do is play Lady Jay, everyone’s second favorite female G.I. Joe member, in this summer’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation. While I’m sure Palicki will make a great Lady Jay, her 3.75” action figure from Hasbro is pretty lackluster especially compared to all of the other figures in this toy line. Shouldn’t Palicki have had to cut her hair to accurately portray Flint’s main squeeze? What are your thoughts on G.I. Joe 2’s sole female character?

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is scheduled to premier in theaters on June 29, 2012.

Robot 13 Trade Paperback Kickstarter feat Robot 13 & King! Resin Figures by Motorbot

Blacklist Studios just launched an exciting new Kickstarter project to help fund the production of their first Robot 13 trade paperback! You probably remember The Blot reviewed Robot 13 a few months ago and absolutely loved it. And now here’s your chance to get in on the action for as little as just $13. “Robot 13: Colossus!” is a 100 page trade paperback graphic novel, which includes the complete first story arc of Robot 13, a heroic robot on a journey to discover who he is and where he came from.

But that’s not all! To entice you to help fund its Kickstarter project, Blacklist Studios has put together some incredible incentives. Not only are there options for buttons, glow-in-the-dark t-shirts, and original comic art, but Blacklist Studios has also teamed up with Motorbot and Deadbear Studios to produce official Robot 13 and KING! resin mini figures. How cool is that?

Designed and produced by Motorbot, each Blacklist Studio figure will stand 2" tall making them a great addition to your M.U.S.C.L.E. collection! As part of different Kickstarter pledge incentives, there will be two Kickstarter exclusive colorways created, a Pewter Edition and an extremely limited Black Edition. The Blot really loves both these characters, and I can’t wait to see these turn out. In the mean time, check out these awesome teasers image from Motorbot.

Rumor has it Motorbot is also working on a limited edition Robot 13 bust as well…more details to come! And be on the lookout for the release of the first issue of Robot 13 Book 2 sometime soon.

Twilight Skies Steven the Bat Vinyl Figure by Bwana Spoons

Here it is, the final Steven the Bat Monster Family scale vinyl figure from Bwana Spoons and Super7! This is the second Monster Family figure to be retired in the past year and The Blot’s not happy about it. Steven (along with the Rose Vampire) was one of the 3 original Monster Family figures and now only Holis remains. I’m honestly going to miss Bwana’s Steven the Bat…but fear not! Sources tell me another Monster Family scale figure from Bwana is already in the works! Details to come…

Before flying off into retirement, the Twilight Skies Steven the Bat is here to make one final appearance. Catch him before it's too late as he doesn't plan to stay long. Bwana Spoons's Steven the Bat is cast in clear silver vinyl with green, blue and white sprays. Pick up a Twilight Skies Steven the Bat for $35 at the Super7 online store this Thursday, February 23rd at noon PST.
