Black Friday Exclusive Transformers: The Movie 30th Anniversary 2xLP Soundtrack Vinyl Album

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original motion picture soundtrack to Transformers: The Movie (the original 1986 animated film, not the 2007 Michael Bay crap), Record Store Day is releasing this beautiful collector's edition, double vinyl package including two etched, colored LPs in a Transforming gate fold jacket as part of their Black Friday celebration. LP1 will be red vinyl etched with the Autobot logo, while LP2 will be purple vinyl etched with the Decepticon logo.

What’s really amazing about this release is that the soundtrack’s gatefold jacket completely “transforms” all four sides from an Autobot themed jacket to a Decepticon themed jacket! This original 1986 cult classic, remastered and re-imagined, has never sounded or looked better. The Black Friday Exclusive Transformers Soundtrack 30th Anniversary 2xLP Soundtrack Album is limited to just 5,000 copies and can be purchased at participating Record Store Day indie music stores in the US

It’s been awhile, but Medicom has finally released a fifth wave of their awesome Marvel Retro Sofubi Collection!

For its next wave of figures, Medicom is spotlighting Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool!

Marvel’s Jessica Jones Alias Inspired Character TV Posters by David Mack

Ok, I don’t actually know that these amazing Marvel’s Jessica Jones one sheet television posters were designed by acclaimed artist David Mack, but whoever did it clearly was drawing inspiration (if not outright copied) Mack’s amazing run of covers for the Alias comic book series upon which this TV show is based. They’re fantastic right!?! Each poster focuses upon one of the show’s two central characters, hero Jessica Jones (aka Jewel) portrayed by Krysten Ritter and the evil Kilgrave the Purple Man portrayed by Doctor Who’s David Tennant. The Blot could seriously stare at these for days.

It has now been a full weekend since Jessica Jones started streaming Netflix and The Blot is dying to know what everyone thinks! I haven’t had an opportunity to watch it yet, but from all reports it’s a huge hit. It sounds like critics and fans alike are enjoying Jessica Jones even more than Netflix’s first Marvel show Daredevil. I just hope this isn’t the last we see of Tennant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve now see two different former Doctors play villains in the MCU, any guesses as to which former Doctor Who actor will show up next!?!
