“Comics Rule” Me and Mr Death Series 2 Resin Figures by Roberto Gionta

Italian designer and web cartoonist Roberto "RX" Gionta has completed his “Comics Rule” RX and Mr. Death Series 2 resin figures and they turned out awesome! Series 2 features comic versions of RX and Mr Death based on their appearances in Roberto’s webcomic RX: Real Life Stories. It’s a great webcomic that you can enjoy whether you speak English or Italian. This two figure set includes a scythe, beer mug and a beer can, and has a limited edition run size of just 7 sets. Each figure stands approximately 6.5” tall, comes hand painted by the artist and packaged in a really nice foam lined box.

If you’re not familiar with Gionta’s characters, RX is a pretentious loser still searching for himself after graduating from school. He’s a chronic pessimist and quite a good burper. Mr. Death is the Grim Reaper who has been trying, unsuccessfully, to get at RX for years. Oh yeah, and he loves beer!

G.I. Joe: Retaliation First Look: Elodie Yung as Jinx

The newest still image to be released in conjunction with the marketing of this summer’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation is of Elodie Yung as Jinx! The Blot’s always been a huge Jinx fan, starting with her debut in the 1987 animated film G.I. Joe: The Movie. A month later she would make her debut in the Marvel comic book and the rest is history. Jinx has never been a hugely popular G.I. Joe character, but she always seems to pop back up eventually in every iteration of the franchise. After making a brief appearance in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Jinx is ready to take center stage in G.I. Joe: Retaliation as the film explores the history of the Arashikage ninja clan.

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