Star Wars Day is almost here and The Blot can’t wait! To celebrate this made up holiday, Paper + Plastick is teaming up with resin wunderkind DuBose Art to release these amazing “May the 4th” Edition Paper + Plastick Yoda Resin Skulls. I love how Dubose was able to turn Paper + Plastick’s killer skull logo into the Grand Master Jedi himself! Yoda never looked so good. While we still don’t know too many details about this release, there will be at least two colorways: the classic Yoda Green Edition and the translucent blue glow in the dark Jedi Spirit Edition. Both version (and two other surprise Star Wars themed releases) will go on sale this Monday, May the 4th, at P+P online store.

To get you excited for the Avengers 2 screenings tonight check out these awesome international theatrical one sheet movie posters.

Target Exclusive The Walking Dead Television Series “Season 4” Hershel Greene Action Figure by McFarlane Toys

Target Exclusive The Walking Dead Television Series “Season 4” Hershel Greene Action Figure by McFarlane Toys

Earlier this month McFarlane Toys teamed up with Target to release a new retailer exclusive The Walking Dead action figure! Based on the Season 4 episode “Too Far Gone”, this Target exclusive recreates Hershel Green’s final appearance in the hit AMC television show. When many of the survivors at the prison became ill from a deadly flu, Hershel, without hesitation, tied a bandana over his face and gladly risked his life to save the others.

Target Exclusive The Walking Dead Television Series “Season 4” Hershel Greene Action Figure by McFarlane Toys

During “Too Far Gone”, Hershel was unable to save The Governor from his blind vengeance and met an unjustified end because of it. It then fell on Michonne to put down Hershel’s severed, reanimated head with the very sword that killed him. Embodying these two iconic scenes, this figure comes with bandana covered mouth, a severed Hershel head, and bloody katana.

Target Exclusive The Walking Dead Television Series “Season 4” Hershel Greene Action Figure by McFarlane Toys

The Target Exclusive “Season 4” Hershel Greene The Walking Dead Television Series Action Figure by McFarlane Toys stands 4.5” tall, features 22 points of articulation (including a decapitated head), and comes packaged on a full color blister card.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Standard Edition Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

This Thursday Grey Matter Art will be releasing the next movie poster in their epic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Screen Print Series, which commemorates the horror film’s 40th anniversary. The series will feature designs by a venerable who’s who of screen print artists, like Florian Bertmer, Jason Edmiston and Francesco Francavilla. This week’s movie poster is by artist Grzegorz Domaradzki, which is his sixth project collaboration with GMA!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Variant Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

The Blot really loves Gabz’ use of typography in this design! As Grzegorz explained, “Since viewers of this classic horror flick are meant to believe it's based on a true story, custom-designed typo that looks like a front page of some crazy newspaper seemed like a right thing to do. Instead of focusing on just one scene or character, I included several plot points and all the essential characters destined (or not) to end up on Sawyer's dining table."

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Foil Variant Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre by Grzegorz Domaradzki is a 24”x36” screen print. The Regular Edition has a limited edition run size of 150 pieces and will retail for $50, while the Variant is limited to 100 pieces and will retail for $65. There’s also a cool Foil Variant that is limited to 75 pieces and will retail for $115. All three editions go on sale at a random time between 1-2pm EST on Thursday, April 30th, at the Grey Matter Art online store.

GMA is also offering a very limited subscription for its The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Screen Print Series. The Regular Edition Subscription includes 4 movie posters, one from each artist, a Grey Matter Art t-shirt and free shipping for $174.99. The Variant Edition Subscription includes 4 Regular Edition posters, one from each artist, 4 Variant posters, one from each artist, a Foil Variant of Grzegorz Domaradzki’s screen print, a GMA t-shirt and free shipping for $419.99.

Faith No More Los Angeles 2015 Concert Poster Standard Edition Screen Print by Huck Gee

While The Blot normally never blogs about rock concert posters (there’s just too many awesome prints dropping daily), I had to break my own rule when I found out Huck Gee had designed one for Faith No More’s show last Friday, April 24th, at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, California. I had no idea Huck designed concert posters, but after seeing this one I hope there are many more in his future! I was also really thrilled to learn this poster was a screen print, as all the other Huck Gee prints I’ve ever seen have all been lithographs. And doesn’t this diesel powered steel pillbox mech jumping out of an airplane look bad ass!?!

The Faith No More Los Angeles 2015 Concert Poster by Huck Gee is an 18”x24” signed and numbered screen print. The Standard Edition is limited to 115 pieces and retails for just $40, while the Rainbow Foil Variant is limited to just 20 pieces and retails for $100.

Comicpalooza Texas' International Comic-Con Logo

For the third straight year The Blot will be heading to Houston’s Comicpalooza to cover the ever-expanding pop culture extravaganza! While Texas’ preeminent comic-con has definitely expanded beyond just comic books, its biggest guests this year are all associated with Marvel Comics in some way. If you live anywhere in or around Texas this is one comic convention you will not want to miss! Comicpalooza 2015 is once again headlined by the patriarch of the Marvel super hero universe, Stan “The Man” Lee, and he’s bringing with him three huge stars from the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Comicpalooza 2015 Marvel Cinematic Universe Guest List – Stan Lee, Jeremy Renner, Cobie Smulders & Hayley Atwell

The most exciting name on this year’s Comicpalooza guest list is Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner! I’ve been told this is the very first comic con appearance (outside of SDCC) for the Avengers: Age of Ultron star, so this will be fans’ first opportunity to take pictures with and get autographs from the MCU’s Hawkeye. The Blot’s personal favorite guest this year is Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother!!!) who has appeared in The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers: Age of Ultron as SHIELD agent Maria Hill. But that’s not all! Comicpalooza is also bringing in Agent Carter herself, Hayley Atwell!

That’s three huge stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at one convention with Stan Lee. How can you miss out on a convention with this kind of guest list!?! Weekend passes, single day tickets and VIP passes to Comicpalooza 2015 are all still available through the Comicpalooza online store.

Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series T-Shirts by Tyler Stout, Kevin Tong & Ken Taylor

Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series T-Shirts by Tyler Stout, Kevin Tong & Ken Taylor


The Blot recently stumbled upon FifthSun.com, which is the official online retail for Fifth Sun, a leading supplier of graphic apparel for the retail clothing industry. While I was looking through their online store, I noticed there were a number of officially licensed Star Wars t-shirts based on artwork from Mondo’s 2010 Star Wars Screen Print Series. There were t-shirts featuring the artwork of Tyler Stout, Kevin Tong and Ken Taylor without any reference to Mondo or the artists. While I’m sure everyone had to sign ownership of the original artwork over to Star Wars back in ‘10, The Blot hates that the artists themselves aren’t given any credit for their work. Ugh… It almost makes me not want to blog about the release of these Star Wars t-shirts.

The unofficial Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series T-Shirts by Tyler Stout, Kevin Tong and Ken Taylor is currently available at the Fifth Sun online store in sizes S-2XL for $22 each (the crewnecks and raglans are a little more).

For its first colorway, Funko will be releasing the striking “Inferno” Edition Iron Man Hikari that looks red hot! Is it just me or is there something super odd about this sculpt?

“Hollywood” Hulk Hogan nWo WWE Sofubi Vinyl Figure by Medicom

If you were a fan of professional wrestling in the ‘90s, and let’s face it everybody was, then you have fond memories of the Monday Night Wars between the WWE and WCW. There was no bigger character during that era than “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan, the villainous leader of WCW’s nWo faction. To this day The Blot is shocked Hulk ever wanted to become a heel, but the man knows his audience and it worked! While WCW may have faded away, “Hollywood” Hogan and the nWo lives on in infamy. And now the leader of the Black and White nWo has been immortalized by Medicom as a 9.8” vinyl figure in its popular Sofubi Fighting Series!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser Trailer #2



Last week at Star Wars Celebration 2015 J.J. Abrams released upon the world the second teaser trailer for this winter’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it is truly glorious!!! The Blot seriously can’t watch it enough. This one teaser trailer puts all other movie to shame! Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit here, but man does this trailer look fantastic. I could probably go on for days about how great this Star Wars trailer is, but I’m not sure I’d say anything the internet’s collective conscious hasn’t said already. So do me a favor, just watch it again for the 5th, 10th, maybe 100th time. It’s worth it!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will storm US theaters everywhere on December 18, 2015.

The Wizard of OZ Screen Print by DKNG

The Wizard of OZ Screen Print by DKNG

Mondo continues its colorful The Wizard of OZ Screen Print Series today with a beautiful new movie poster by DKNG! What’s really cool about this release is Mondo has produced three different versions of it with each colorway featuring a different colored horse. Diehard OZ fans know that Dorothy was brought into the Emerald City on a carriage drawn by The Horse of a Different Color, making these three variants movie accurate!

As DKNG explained, “When approaching a film as iconic as The Wizard of Oz, we wanted to find a unique focal point beyond the main iconography of the film. The Horse of a Different Color occupies just a brief scene, but proved to be a great subject for a print series that includes the three different colors - red, purple, and yellow - that the horse takes on in the film. Each print shares three ink colors with the fourth screen customized to provide the color change for each variant.”

“The Wizard of OZ” by DKNG is an 18”x24” hand numbered screen print. Each Horse of a Different Color Variant (Purple, Red and Yellow) is limited to just 175 pieces and will retail for $40. All three prints can be purchased at the Mondo online store today, Tuesday, April 21st, at a random time.
