Deadpool Theatrical One Sheet Teaser Movie Poster

The Blot can’t believe we’re just a few weeks away from the world premiere of a Ryan Reynolds starring live action Deadpool movie. This movie looks so kick ass!!!

Thank god for whoever released that that Deadpool test footage a few years giving the project a second life.

And with that, Yuna was born!

Yuna is the very first 10" articulated doll in an all new line called “Dream BIG Friends”. She's also the first Asian American girl to be the center of a doll line!
