Untitled Goose Game Lets You Be Your Worst Self ... As a Goose
From the world that brought you "Getting Over It", a game about a man who looks remarkably like Putin, naked in a large cauldron, pulling himself up rocks and bits of what I can only describe as New Jersey, which has fallen from the sky in an oddly precisely stacked manor, using only a pick axe. From the same world that brought you "Goat Simulator"...which I will let the name speak for itself... comes a game where a large, belligerent bird terrorizes a small community...AND YOU GET TO BE THE BIRD!!

Amazing Heroes Reborn Action Figure Kickstarter Launches with Savage Dragon, Madman & More
Remember the 90's? I WAS THERE!! Toward the mid to late 90's, it seemed like anyone with a self published comic and a dream could get action figures made of their ultra cool exxxtreeeeme characters. Was plastic cheaper then? Was China having a sale on the production of busty, scantily clad female hero action figures? I DO NOT KNOW. Comics like Hellina, Ghost, Ash, Double Impact, Brigid and Ultra Force all got their characters immortalized in plastic from companies large and small...and then it all stopped. These days, it takes a great deal of word of mouth and estimated potential income to get any company to agree to making action figures from any property, even if it's a very well known movie from our past. Luckily, we've got folks like Fresh Monkey Fiction who step up to utilize the power of crowdfunding to give our underappreciated comic book heroes their day in the sun.

Walmart Stepping Up to Fill the Toys R Us Void
When news of Toys R Us closing all stores in the US started circulating, among industry vets, the immediate discussion was who might fill those big, giraffe shaped shoes? The most obvious choices were Target and Walmart, who already boast massive retail space from coast to coast. It wouldn't be too difficult to expand toy sections in any number of locations. Still, my thoughts settled on Walmart who, in my neighborhood at least, seem the most willing to restructure and/or cut into space that seems to be all too often empty (of customers) alongside those well traveled toy aisles. Target took the first steps toward broadening their selection, welcoming collectors to come shop for NECA's mega popular action figures on their shelves. Now Walmart announces their plans for toy domination...

FOX Decides The Predator Movie is Fun
There are two titles in the realm of Scifi that get fans excited for future projects, but continually roll out tedious exercises in MORE of the same with zero charisma. Sadly, those titles are Aliens and Predator. News of a movie simply titled The Predator helmed by Shane Black, who is known for fantastically entertaining movies like Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and The Nice Guys, went a long way to rid memories of Aliens vs Predator and the like from people's brains, but there are still many skeptics. The initial synopsis and trailers were...unconvincing. Now, with 2 weeks til showtime, FOX has changed direction a full 180 degrees and presents us with a trailer that makes the new film look extremely fun!!

World War Z Video Game Looking to Take a Bite Out of the Competition
In a world where our geekiest desires are translated into plastics, fashion and digital alternate realities, it's easy to miss a thing or two. Such is the case with the WORLD WAR Z video game!! I blame society. World War Z has been one of my go-to zombie movies for more than a minute, with plenty of tension, a fast moving story and the dynamics of those zombie hordes to keep me locked in every time. Translate that into a video game and I'm ALL IN!! Let's take a look at what we know so far about the game and how, exactly, they expect us to kill 300 approaching zombies armed only with a semi-automatic and dreams of movie sequels...

Mezco's The Nun Doll Wants Your Soul
Mezco introduces a spine-tingling doll from the Warner Brothers film ‘The Nun’.
Standing at approximately 18 inches tall, The Nun doll might just be as scary as the film. Her bright, piercing eyes stare directly into your soul and she features a film-accurate habit complete with a tunic, cowl, and veil.
First introduced in The Conjuring 2, horror fans got a quick glimpse of The Nun in a haunting scene where demonologist, Lorraine Warren, is attacked by the spirit. This summer, The Nun stars in her own self-titled film exploring the unholy origin and dark secrets of her past further expanding the Conjuring’s Horrorverse.

Hasbro's Marvel Gamerverse Action Figures Claim an Extra Life
It's been some time since Hasbro premiered their Marvel Gamerverse 3.75 inch action figure line with Iron Man vs Mega Man X, which came as an awesome surprise for toy fans in general and a mind blowing product drop for longtime Capcom Vs fans. With the popularity of Twitch on the rise and celebrity gamers in the press daily, it should come as no surprise that toy companies would be paying more attention to video game properties, especially when they already own a license for half the characters!
