“Get Animated” Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner Vinyl Figures by Pucky x ToyQube x Soap Studio

Warner Bros. animated characters have a long history of invading pop culture through television, from popularizing classical compositions to creating mainstream hits that stand the test of time. ToyQube has teamed up with Soap Studio to invite a handful of artists – including Eric So, Kenny Wong and Tik Ka – to reimagine WB’s iconic Looney Tunes characters through their own unique lenses in a new series of vinyl figures entitled “Get Animated.” Check out the next two vinyl figures in this exciting collection, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner by Pucky!

With a childhood divided between Hong Kong and Canada, Pucky grew up between two cultures, which prompted her to explore creatively the value of identity and the meaning of belonging. Pucky's work is a combination of cute and dark, showing an integrated harmony where opposites like good and evil or love and fear, co-exist. She is deeply inspired by the wonders and mysteries of the world and her drawings are strongly affected by the beauty of their history, science and the romance. Each “Get Animated” Looney Tunes Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner Vinyl Figure by Pucky stands 8” tall and can be purchased now at the ToyQube online store for $145.

“Get Animated” Bugs Bunny & Tweety Bird Vinyl Figures by Pat Lee x ToyQube x Soap Studio

Warner Bros. animated characters have a long history of invading pop culture through television, from popularizing classical compositions to creating mainstream hits that stand the test of time. ToyQube has teamed up with Soap Studio to invite a handful of artists – including Eric So, Kenny Wong and Tik Ka – to reimagine WB’s iconic Looney Tunes characters through their own unique lenses in a new series of vinyl figures entitled “Get Animated”.

The first two releases in this exciting new Get Animated Series are Bugs Bunny and Tweety Bird vinyl figures designed by artist Pat Lee! Bugs features a wild, dynamic design blending his traditional gray and white color scheme with vivid, fleshy pink. From his mismatched eyes to his bulging heart and curious leg shackles, the toy offers surprises and unexpected details.

Pat Lee’s Tweety design recasts the adorable yellow bird as a force to be reckoned with. A stylized Sylvester lurches out from his brain, perhaps in an attempt to flee the enraged canary with his angry violet eyes and almost mech-like power. The patches of gray, fibrous anatomical details gives Tweety a futuristic, mechanically menacing appearance.

These limited edition Looney Tunes figures are made of vinyl and PVC, and go on sale at noon EDT today, Thursday, September 20th, at the ToyQube online store. Bugs Bunny stands 13” tall and retails for $179.99, while Tweety Bird stands 9” tall and retails for $169.99. The Blot cannot wait to see what will be next in this awesome “Get Animated” series!

Superman Man of Steel Character Movie Posters

The Blot’s been waiting for some really cool character movie posters for this summer’s Man of Steel and they’re finally here! Surprisingly all of the film’s promotional posters seem to only focus on Henry Cavill’s Superman, Michael Shannon’s General Zod and Russell Crowe’s Jor-El. But where’s my poster featuring Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne’s Perry White or Kevin Costner as Jonathan “Pa” Kent!?! I really can’t believe how little the film’s marketing campaign is focusing on Adams’ Lois Lane. Here’s hoping this film does gangbusters this weekend in the theaters so we can get a sequel!

“Knighty Knight Bugs” Looney Tunes Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Mondo’s epic Looney Tunes Screen Print Series is back after a much too long hiatus! Check out this fun new print entitled “Knighty Knight Bugs” by Tom Whalen. Based on the 1958 Looney Tunes animated short of the same name, it features Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam in the realm of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. What’s really interesting about this cartoon is it’s the only Bugs Bunny cartoon to win an Academy Award!

“Knighty Knight Bugs” by Tom Whalen is an 18”x24” Looney Tunes hand numbered screen print with a limited edition run size of 275 pieces. This print can be purchased at the Mondo online store today, Wednesday, June 6th, at a random time for $40 each.

New Superman Man of Steel Movie Posters

It’s not quite summer yet, but the summer movie season is already in high gear with huge films like Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness in theaters. So far most of the summer’s big films are getting pretty mixed reviews, and The Blot’s super interested to hear what fans think about Zach Snyder’s upcoming Superman live action film Man of Steel. The trailers look cool, but they’re not really what I’m looking for from a Superman film. However, these one sheet movie posters look epic. I love how iconic the posters look, and that’s what I want in a classic DC Comics Superman story (that and Lex Luthor and/or Braniac as the villain). There’s no more iconic hero than Kal-El and his films need to exude that feeling.

Man of Steel First Full Trailer

As a kid The Blot was a huge Superman fan. But over the past ten years I’ve really fallen out of love with the character. There has been a huge mismanagement of the character by all parties involved, Warner Bros and DC Comics primarily. It makes me sad that we live in a world where Superman isn’t the biggest thing going (at least in the world of super heroes). He’s the living embodiment of truth, justice and the American way for goodness sake!

While I typically enjoy Zach Snyder films, I have no faith in Warner Bros that Man of Steel will be good, even with a pretty cool first trailer. I guess I just don’t understand why they took things in this direction with a Superman movie. I know the WB is trying to re-capture the look and feel of Nolan’s Batman trilogy, but shouldn’t a Superman film be all about bright colored costumes and action!?! Where’s a bright green Braniac or the Toyman? This movie better be good or we may never see another big budget DC Comics live action movie.

Man of Steel is scheduled to swoop into theaters on June 14, 2013.

“Hair-Raising Hare” Looney Tunes Screen Print by Michael De Pippo

Later today Mondo will be releasing two more entries in its Looney Tunes Screen Print Series, including this fun “Hair-Raising Hare” print by Michael De Pippo. Based on the 1946 Merrie Melodies animated short of the same name, it features Bugs Bunny and the red monster Gossamer! The Blot’s been obsessed with De Pippo’s prints lately and this is another killer release.

“Hair-Raising Hare” by Michael De Pippo is an 18”x24” Looney Tunes hand numbered screen print with a limited edition run size of 260 pieces. This print can be purchased at the Mondo online store today, Thursday, December 6th, at a random time for $40 each.

“Hyde and Go Tweet” Looney Tunes Screen Print by Phantom City Creative

Later today Mondo will be releasing two more entries in its Looney Tunes Screen Print Series. First up is "Hyde and Go Tweet" by Phantom City Creative, which is based on the 1960 Merrie Melodies animated short of the same name featuring Tweety and Sylvester. This is a very cool print and I really love the color shading. Would love to see more Looney Tunes prints with this depth.

“Hyde and Go Tweet” by Phantom City Creative is an 18”x24” Looney Tunes hand numbered screen print with a limited edition run size of 260 pieces. This print can be purchased at the Mondo online store today, Thursday, December 6th, at a random time for $40 each.

New Man of Steel Teaser Movie Poster

When The Blot first heard Warner Bros. released a new Man of Steel teaser poster yesterday I got really excited…but then I saw it. Superman in handcuffs being led away by the police just doesn’t get me excited for the film like a teaser one sheet movie poster should. Obviously Superman’s letting them “capture” him because we all know he could easily break those cuffs and fly away. I guess they’re trying to get us to want to know more, but it’s not working.  I'm pretty sure the marketing department of DC Comics could come up with something better than this! The weird suit is growing on me though.

“What’s Opera Doc?” Looney Tunes Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Mondo’s popular Looney Tunes Screen Print Series by Tom Whalen continues today with “What’s Opera Doc?” based on the classic Chuck Jones directed Merrie Melodie animated short. The Blot still cracks up whenever I see this classic 1957 cartoon. The image of Bugs Bunny disguised as Valkyrie Brunnhilde is so iconic, even if you haven’t seen the cartoon you recognize this image. Plus, it’s got Elmer Fudd, which makes this beautiful poster by Whalen an instant buy!

The Looney Tunes print “What’s Opera Doc?” by Tom Whalen is an 18”x24” hand numbered 6 color screen print. The Standard Edition print has a limited edition run size of 270 pieces and will retail for $40, while the Variant Edition has a limited edition run size of 90 pieces and will retail for $65 each. Both prints go on sale at the Mondo online store today, Thursday, September 6th, at a random time.

Man of Steel Teaser Movie Poster & Trailers

Everyone seems to be going gaga over this Man of Steel teaser poster from San Diego Comic-Con 2012, and the film’s teaser trailers which debuted before The Dark Knight Rises. But honestly, neither really blow me away. The Blot likes that they tried to do something different with the teaser trailer and the poster does a good job showcasing Superman’s new suit, but I’d still be willing to bed money this film stinks. Nothing Warner Bros or DC Comics has done has shown me they know how to produce a kick ass super hero film not directed by Christopher Nolan.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Zack Snyder and they did the smart thing by keeping Nolan involved. But it’s not like Snyder’s last two live action films, Watchmen and Sucker Punch, were critical or commercial successes. Maybe I’m just bitter at how horribly mistreated the Superman franchise has been for the past 20 years, but this film better be freaking amazing! And I better not hear one peep about a Justice League movie if Man of Steel is not HUGE next summer.

Gotham Rogues Hines Ward The Dark Knight Rises Figure by McFarlane Toys

Did you know McFarlane Toys has never produced a Batman toy before? Well, I guess technically it still hasn’t! But McFarlane Toys is teaming up with Warner Bros. and DC Comics to release what might be the coolest The Dark Knight Rises toy of the summer. McFarlane Toys is releasing a “Gotham Rogues” Hines Ward figure, which recreates the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and future NFL Hall of Famer’s role in the film. The Gotham Rogues are Gotham City’s professional football franchise, and you probably recognize this pose from The Dark Knight Rises’ first trailer where as Ward runs down the field scoring a touchdown, Bane sets off a bomb collapsing the rest of the field around him.

The Gotham Rogues Hines Ward figure is clad in the Rogues’ black and yellow uniform created specifically by Under Armour for The Dark Knight Rises, and even features the actual tattoo Ward has on his right arm. Each 6” figure includes an enhanced base that features The Dark Knight Rises logo and comes packaged in a movie themed full color window box. This may also be the last action figure of the now retired 2 time Super Bowl champion and Dancing with the Stars champion, making this The Dark Knight Rises toy even more collectible!

While not expected to hit store shelves until October 2012, you can pre-order The Dark Knight Rises Gotham Rogues Hines Ward action figure by McFarlane Toys from Entertainment Earth for $12.99 here.
