Jim Steranko, Warrior

Growing up in Brooklyn in the 80's, you certainly come out with some stories. Fortunately for me, I was 6 foot with long hair and a motorcycle jacket with two pairs of handcuffs hanging off the shoulder, so gangs didn't mess with me much. For legendary comic book artist Jim Steranko, youth was a time of gang clashes the likes of which you might see in the movie the Warriors! Last night, Jim took to Twitter to spin a tale of blood and victory...

Street gangs were prominent when I was a kid. Mine was called the Spartans, but it wasn't all about fighting.

 

Hot Toys Avengers Movie Loki Revealed

This one is for the ladies. Helllooooo Ladies! Hot Toys would like to take a moment to show you a dozen reasons you'll want to sign your next paycheck over to them...and we'll back it up with 3 dozen more reasons you may forsake all other toy collections.










Hot Toys 12 inch action figures are, as yet, untouched by all comers in quality, likenesses, accessories and general "more bang for your buck"..as well they better be for the starting price! Fuck, if NECA charged over $100 for each figure, I bet you the damn things would walk you home. Not to take away anything from Hot Toys...but you get my meaning. For the newbs, when you buy a Hot Toys 12 inch figure, you can be sure to get alternate hands, a wide array of accessories, a stand, some if the best fitting cloth clothing you've ever seen on a toy and amazing sculpting and paints. Many a fan has been spotted petting a Hot Toys box in the middle of Comic-Con.

Now Hot Toys have been building their Avengers movie team, no doubt just as excited for the film as you have been and it shows in the work, wouldn't you agree?! So far we've seen Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Black Widow (from Iron Man 2, so there is still a possibility for an update), half a dozen Iron Men (with a Mark VII on the way), a teaser for the enormous Hulk and now...LOKI!








































Hot Toys is proud to present the collectible figure of the 6th superhero from the hottest movie of the town - the 1/6th scale Loki Limited Edition Collectible Figurine (click here to pre-order!) of The Avengers from Marvel Studios. The movie-accurate collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Tom Hiddleston as Loki in the movie, highlighting the newly developed head sculpt, highly detailed costume, weapons and accessories.

Here's a heap of Hot Toys Avengers eye candy! Since these suckers originate across the water, Sideshow Collectibles has your stateside hookup. Click any of the links above to get your figure orders in!

Times Square Toys R Us Avengers Battle Display

While running through New York City, I decided to make a pit stop at the Times Square Toys R Us to say hi to the T Rex, see what's new and take a peek at a Hasbro Avengers display I heard they had set up. Low and behold, in a circular case was a re-enactment of the final battle between super powered humans and blood thirsty aliens led by little plastic Loki...with some alterations of course. The Helicarrier may not have been featured in that last skirmish, but hot damn it looks cool alongside the explosions! ...and yes, it looks a little wimpy with Fury and Widow battling on that tiny deck...but we'll take what we can get. At any rate, dig the Chitauri alien action figures in battle!
