SDCC 12 Exclusive The Dark Knight Rises Batman 20” Mega Mez-Itz by Mezco Toyz

Mezco Toyz’ Mega Mez-Itz is back! After the success of their SDCC 2011 Exclusive Batman Mega Mez-Itz, Mezco is now releasing a 300% Batman Mez-Itz based on Batman’s look from the upcoming summer blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises. This San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive The Dark Knight Rises Batman Mega Mez-Itz stands 20" from the tip of his ears to the soles of his bat-boots, and features a real cloth black cape. Just like standard Mez-Itz viny figure, this giant toy features 5 points of articulation and comes securely packaged in a sturdy full color window box (the size of a dorm fridge!).

The San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive The Dark Knight Rises Batman Mega Mez-Itz vinyl figure by Mezco Toyz is a non-numbered limited edition toy and will retail for $200 each at Mezco’s SDCC booth. For those of us unable to attend SDCC, you can pre-order this awesome figure at Mezco Toyz’ online store (while supplies last).

Batman The Dark Knight Rises 100% Be@rbrick

Earlier this month Medicom released Be@rbrick Series 24, its newest 100% Be@rbrick blind box series that The Blot knows pop culture fans are going to go crazy over. Along with Snoopy, Felix the Cat and Gossip Girl designs, this Be@rbrick series also includes the awesome The Dark Knight Rises Batman Be@rbrick seen here! Featuring Batman’s updated costume from Christopher Nolan’s third and final Batman film, this 3” figure actually looks pretty cool. I’ve really loved Medicom’s line of DC Comics Be@rbricks over the past few years and this figure, along with the new SDCC 2012 Exclusive Blue and Gray Batman 100% Be@rbrick releasing next month, will make great additions to everyone’s collections.

Be@rbrick Series 24 is out now in Japan, and should be making its way stateside in the next few months.

SDCC 12 Exclusive Chew: Secret Agent Poyo #1 Metallic Foil Variant Cover

Chew, by John Layman and Rob Guillory, has quickly become one of The Blot’s favorite comic books. I love pretty much everything about this book, and if you haven’t read it yet go pick up the first trade ASAP! If you are reading Chew, then you’ll be excited to know that in just a few weeks Image Comics will be releasing a Chew one shot featuring the book’s most popular supporting character, and comic’s most beloved homicidal cybernetic kung-fu rooster, Poyo!

What I especially love about this one shot is that Image will be releasing a San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Pink Metallic Foil Variant Cover for it. It’s the ‘90s all over again, and I love it! There was a time when every comic released had a die cut, hologram or metallic foil cover and The Blot ate it up. Thankfully that trend died a quick death, but every once in a while it’s nice to have it rear its ugly head again. It really is so bad it’s good! The fun SDCC Variant can be purchased exclusively at the Image Comics SDCC booth for $10 each.

SDCC 12 Exclusive “This Is Your Brain” Custom Mini Jumping Brain Vinyl Figures by Mikie Graham

For San Diego Comic-Con 2012, Mikie Graham has created a small run of custom Mini Jumping Brain vinyl figures entitled "This Is Your Brain." As you can see in the photo below, Mikie has crafted a miniature recreation of the 80's anti-drug scare ad "Your Brain On Drugs" using Emilio Garcia's mini jumping brain figures! How cool is that? Playing with the shape of the mini figure, Mikie used clear resin and a little hand painted detail to make the vinyl figures resemble a sunny-side up egg. Finishing off the scale illusion, Mikie found miniature cast iron frying pans that perfectly fit his mini fried eggs.

Mikie will have 10 of his San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive “This Is Your Brain” Custom Mini Jumping Brains for sale at Dragatomi's SDCC booth #4935, starting on Preview night, for only $45. Each figure comes hand signed and numbered by the artist and will be packaged in a black cardboard box with removable photo print mounted to its lid.
