Robot Chicken Action Figure Series 1 by Jazwares

After the success of Jazwares’ San Diego Comic-Con 2010 Exclusive Convention Nerd action figure, the toy company is now releasing a full line of Robot Chicken toys based on the Cartoon Network’s stop-motion animated adult swim television show Robot Chicken! Robot Chicken Action Figure Series 1 includes the Humping Robot with washing machine, the Mad Scientist with Robot Chicken, and Candy Bear with bear trap.


Each action figures ranges in size from approximately 3 1/2 to 6 inches tall, and what’s really great about these Robot Chicken figures are their extra features! The Humping Robot actually humps his washing machine accessory (or really anything you want), and the Candy Bear’s bear trap actually screams when it closes. This could be a really great accessory for artists to customize, especially if you work with a figure whose feet will fit in the bear trap.

While Jazwares’ Robot Chicken Action Figure Series 1 will be sold individually, all three figures are currently available as a set for just $42.99 from Entertainment Earth.


Jazwares is also releasing a 10" Robot Chicken action figure, which comes packaged in a window box for play or easy display. The 10 inch Robot Chicken figure retails for $20.99 and can be purchased from Entertainment Earth here.

All of the Robot Chicken action figures seen above are scheduled to be released sometime in October 2010.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II Airs This Sunday

I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that on Sunday night, November 16, at 10:30/9:30c Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim will be airing Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II.


The sequel to last year’s smash hit Robot Chicken: Star Wars is sure to be hilarious as Seth Green, Matt Senreich and the rest of the Robot Chicken crew again focus their sick and twisted sense of humor squarely on the Star Wars universe.

There are three teaser clips for Sunday’s episode floating around on YouTube right now, but The Blot refuses to watch or post them here because I really want everything about Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II to be a surprise. I’m really stoked (is that still a word?) Robot Chicken decided to do this again and can’t wait to see what George Lucas lets them get away with this time!

Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II airs Sunday, November 16th at 10:30/9:30c on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.

Seth Green and Breckin Meyer Are Close To Joining The Cast Of Heroes

There is some really exciting Heroes casting news floating around the web today. EW.com’s Michael Ausiello is reporting that real life best friends “and frequent collaborators Seth Green and Breckin Meyer are nearing a deal to join the cast of Heroes for multi-episode arcs.” (link) How cool is that?

According to Ausiello’s sources Green and Meyer “will play Atlanta-based comic book nerds aficionados who cross paths with (and perhaps serve as advisors to) one of the Heroes.” (link) It sounds like some stellar stunt casting and I’m excited to see what these two can bring to NBC’s hit super hero drama. While I love Heroes, the show often lacks in the acting department. Hopefully Green and Meyer will be able to breathe some life into whichever established Heroes’ characters they are working with.


One reason I really like these two actors is that I’m obsessed with their most recent collaboration, Robot Chicken. The stop motion animated show created by Green and Matthew Senreich is amazing, and while the two friends starred in some classic 90’s movies this is by far their best work. Aly can’t stand the show, but I still stop to watch it any time it’s on the Cartoon Network. Green and Meyer voice many of the show’s characters and it is some of the best pop culture humor out there.

Robot Chicken Star Wars Special Coming To DVD This Summer

Finally there’s definite confirmation as to the release date for Robot Chicken’s Star Wars Special DVD. TV Shows on DVD.com is reporting that the Robot Chicken – Star Wars DVD will be released July 22nd. (link)


The Blot’s been waiting for this one for a while and its going to look great next to my copy of Family Guy’s Star Wars tribute Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest. I love all things [adult swim] and Robot Chicken, and thought the Robot Chicken tribute episode was even funnier than Family Guy's version. So, if you like Star Wars or Robot Chicken then you’ll love them together in this extended, 30 minute episode of The Blot’s favorite [adult swim] show.

Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest Bobble Heads

As a Star Wars fan, I’m always pumped when I hear about a popular show putting together a Star Wars tribute episode. Robot Chicken on Adult Swim/Cartoon Network did one and it was pretty funny. But then Family Guy did one and it was even better. The FOX show’s Star Wars tribute, Blue Harvest, recently came out on DVD and is a must see for any Family Guy or Star Wars fan.


What’s even better is Family Guy is now coming out with a line of Blue Harvest Wacky Wobbler bobble heads. (link) I’ve never been the biggest bobble head fan but I do love seeing how these types of toys turn out. A lot of times the toys aren’t an accurate representation of the 2D characters we love on TV, but these Wacky Wobblers turned out way better than expected. But don’t take my word for it, take a look at the pictures below.
