Great! And while you do that I’ll check in on the ring bear.

“I’m sorry.
You’re saying ring bear-er, right?” - Robin

Ring bear.

“Ok, look into my eyes and say
I promise that I’m not bringing a dangerous
wild animal to our wedding.” - Robin

“Ok look, if it’s true…if we are…you know. {related}
It’s really not that big a deal.” - Robin

“Ok, we know we won’t have kids.” - Robin

And even if we did
King Joffrey’s parents were brother and sister,
and he was a fair and wise leader.

First Look: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Cast Photo!

As you all know, The Blot is super excited for next summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy! This rag tag group of space misfits has long been one of my favorite comic books, and I still can’t believe they’re getting a live action, big budget film. So of course my jaw hit the ground when Marvel finally released the world’s first look at the Guardians of the Galaxy cast this week. August can’t get here fast enough!

The photo above features Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon voiced by Bradley Cooper, WWE superstar Dave Bautista as Drax, and Groot voiced by Vin Diesel. Next summer is definitely going to be all about the Guardians of the Galaxy, including San Diego Comic-Con 2014! Now if only I could find a company that wants to sponsor a pop culture blogger’s trip to San Diego next July.

Look for Guardians of the Galaxy to premiere worldwide on August 1, 2014.

New Year’s Eve 2014 “Keep Watch” GID Mishka Boy by Super7 & Mishka

Super7 continues its tradition of surprise New Year’s Eve releases at the stroke of midnight! What better way to ring in the New Year than with the year’s very first toy release!?! This year Super7 teamed up with Mishka to create a super secret collab, the New Year's Eve “Keep Watch” Mummy Boy! With some help from a couple fellow creepy creature creators, this new fiendish 6” monstrosity was sold exclusively at the Super7 online store for $50 each. Sadly, these glow in the dark sofubi figures sold out immediately upon release (or at least they were sold out when The Blot woke up yesterday morning).  Here's hoping Super7 and Mishka continue to release new colorways of the Keep Watch Mummy Boy because that bandaged eye ball looks fantastic!

“Resting Champ” Bear Champ Screen Print by JC Rivera

Earlier this week Pobber released its very first screen print exclusively at Rotofugi! “Resting Champ” by JC Rivera features JC's signature character Bear Champ taking a well deserved rest on a rooftop after a long day at work (i.e. boxing). The design is based on what JC does when the weather is nice. He sits on the rooftop of his building overlooking the Chicago skyline to get inspiration. Pretty nice all the way around.

“Resting Champ” by JC Rivera is a 19.5”x10” 4 color screen print. Each print comes signed and numbered by the artist, has a limited edition run size of 50 pieces, and can be purchased exclusively at the Rotofugi online store for $40 each.
