Funko’s newest San Diego Comic-Con 2014 exclusive are these 3 wacky colored The Flintstones Pop! Animation Box Set featuring crazy colorways of Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble. Normally The Blot really likes Funko’s many variants and chase colorways. They usually tie into the character’s fictional back story, and allow fans to get the specific version of their favorite pop culture characters they’ve always wanted. But I have no idea what’s going on with these wacky colored The Flintstones variants! I’m sure diehard Hanna-Barbera will want to pick them up, but they’re just so random. This seems like the kind of SDCC exclusive that never sells out at the con.

Predator Screen Print by Ken Taylor

Predator Standard Edition Screen Print by Ken Taylor

Tomorrow, Mondo will be releasing this bad ass Predator movie poster by Ken Taylor! The Predator franchise has been in the news a lot recently due to the announcement that a new Predator film is in the works. The Blot will be interested to see what they do with the franchise, but nothing can compare to the original film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The shock and awe of the mysterious Predator in that film just can’t be recreated. But I have to say, Ken Taylor has done a remarkable job evoking the primal ferocity of this unmasked Predator in his design.

Toy Review: SDCC 13 Exclusive Star Trek: TNG Wesley Crusher Build-a-Bridge Bobble Head by Bif Bang Pow! & Entertainment Earth

Toy Review: San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive Star Trek: The Next Generation Wesley Crusher Build-a-Bridge Bobble Head by Bif Bang Pow! & Entertainment Earth

San Diego Comic-Con 2014 is just around the corner, so it’s the perfect time to revisit one of our favorite SDCC exclusives from the past! Thanks to our good friends at Entertainment Earth, The Blot’s gotten his hands on a San Diego Comic-Con 2013 exclusive Star Trek: The Next Generation Wesley Crusher Build-a-Bridge bobble head!!! As you know, I’ve been covering the release of Bif Bang Pow!’s Star Trek: The Next Generation Build-a-Bridge Bobble Head Series for the past year, and the final three figures have just been released.

This 7” Wesley Crusher bobble head connects to the other 7 Build-a-Bridge figures to recreate the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It’s a pretty ingenious theme that looks fantastic when they’re all displayed together. I really how Bif Bang Pow! was able to accurately recreate the Enterprise’s helm. Now I just need to find some sticker decals for the ship’s control panel. The craftsmanship on this figure is top notch, and the paint application is pretty darn near perfect. You really can’t ask for much more from an officially licensed $19.99 figure, especially when you compare it to similarly priced licensed 7” bobble heads on the market these days.

Toy Review: San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive Star Trek: The Next Generation Wesley Crusher Build-a-Bridge Bobble Head by Bif Bang Pow! & Entertainment Earth

If there was one complaint I have with this toy it’s the likeness to Wil Wheaton is a little off. It’s not that it doesn’t look like him, it’s just not as spot on as the other bobble heads in this series. Just check out the Riker, LaForge, Worf and Data bobble heads look identical to the actors they are based on. It’s really a minor complaint though when you look at how awesome the whole series is as a whole. And you can’t buy just one without getting them all! It’s the Enterprise’s bridge diorama that makes these figures so much fun.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive Star Trek: TNG Wesley Crusher Build-a-Bridge Bobble Head by Bif Bang Pow! has a limited edition run size of 2,500 pieces and retails for just $19.99 exclusively at the Entertainment Earth online store. Luckily there are still a few still available so go pick one up today before they’re gone forever. Engage!
