Go Gamorrean Green for St. Patrick’s Day!

It’s time to go green! Once again, St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, a day for celebration of Irish culture, most visibly by the wearing of the green! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Gentle Giant LTD is proud to introduce their newest 1/6 Scale Star Wars mini-bust, the green-skinned Gamorrean Guard!

When Boba Fett took over the criminal empire of Jabba the Hutt, deposing Bib Fortuna, he inherited the loyalty of two Gamorreans, who acted as bodyguards to the new daimyo of Mos Espa. Based on the guards’ appearance in Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, this all-new mini-bust stands approximately 6 inches tall and depicts one of the porcine warriors in a fighting stance, with his dagger at his waist.

Hello Kitty Takes on ATTACK ON TITAN!!

Oh Man. Reading this headline in my email immediately conjured images of Hello Kitty, Keropi and Batz Maru ziplining through the air as massive (yet non-threatening) giants smash houses and chase down the populace below...to...tickle them? Sure why not. BoxLunch is excited to partner with Sanrio and Crunchyroll to launch an exclusive Hello Kitty and Friends x Attack on Titan line. This ultimate crossover collection for fans of Japanese pop culture is available in stores and online March 15th 2023.

The Play Date: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem

We geeks are a grumpy, angry, easily annoyed lot. When we heard of this new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated movie project, we raised hell and pre-emptively called for the heads of all involved. Now we've got a trailer and IT LOOKS SO DAMN COOL that all is forgiven. A lot can happen in a month! Now, thanks to the Toy Insider's "Play Date" event, we get an up close look at a tight pile of Playmate's upcoming Mutant Mayhem TMNT toys.

WORLD PREMIERE: The Loyal Subjects Goes Bughunting with Starship Troopers

I'd convinced my father to go to the movies with the promise of two things. 1. A brand new theater with "stadium seating" and 2. possible aliens and things blowing up in 5 minute intervals. What we got was an oddball scifi war story with a romantic underbelly akin to Robotech and interwoven propaganda film reels spelling out clearly what our enemy was capable of on an extreme level. WHO was the enemy you ask? MASSIVE INSECTS from alien worlds fully willing to wipe us out of existence with an intelligence far beyond your average Xenomorph. It was silly...it was crazy...it was awesome. 

Indie Scifi Spotlight: The Paradise Planets: The Fallen from Paradise

In 2132 AD, fifteen-year-old Kassiana’s life was royalty. Born on Nemal, the richest of the Paradise Planets, she had no idea how the people of Earth–the Gaians–suffered. But her idyllic and harmonious life was shattered when she was forcefully kidnapped and taken to live among them on a flooded Earth. There, the Gaians were divided by their assigned star scores, surviving on meager food rations, and under the constant threat of sonic beatings from the U.N.O.E. mediation officers. Singing in nearly-fluent Evéik to power up their wetsuits, Gaians contended against each other in the Siren Games–the foremost sporting competition in all the worlds–just to win a passport and be allowed entry to a Paradise planet.

Now fallen from Paradise, worlds away from home, and with an increasing realization that no rescue is coming, Kassi must learn to survive as the lowliest of the Gaians and find some way to win the Siren Games–her only hope of ever seeing home again.

Diamond Select Building Their Fantastic Four

With his introduction as one of the Illuminati and an admittedly lackluster power display in a fight against The Scarlet Witch, Reed Richards AKA Mr. Fantastic made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and so comic fans patiently await the introduction of the Fantastic Four in the proper Marvel Movie Universe. Never one to miss out on breaking geek trends, Diamond Select has been building their own Marvel Select Fantastic Four action figure team. Many moons ago, The Thing had his day among their release lineup. Most recently, The Human Torch premiered in blazing translucent plastic and parts that allowed you to make him either The Fantastic Four's Johnny Storm or Jim Hammond, the original Torch. It's a must-have figure! Now, it's time for the rest of the team to take the spotlight...
