NECA Launches DC Comics 7 inch Action Figure Bundles

Remember that 7 inch Keaton Batman Action Figure you were agonizing over not so long ago? How they sold out almost instantly online and then the hunt was on from store to store trying to score JUST ONE of these elusive figures? Welp, time to relive that fun! NECA just dropped a small pile of Warner Bros exclusive 7 inch action figure and DVD packs onto Ebay and once word gets out, we expect them to vanish like a ninja throwing down a smoke bomb.

Jakks Pacific Scales Up With Batman V Superman

JAKKS Pacifics line of "Big-Figs" took consumers by surprise some years back. While most companies were shrinking down to 3.75 inch size and cutting back on articulation and paints to drop their price point and maximize their peg space in retail stores, JAKKS went....TOTALLY in the other direction, but with similar thoughts in mind. Their line of large scale figures may be light on paint applications, but you can't deny the level if detail they bring in at that scale..or the fun of a MASSIVE figure of your favorite pop culture icon..or the super low price! Now JAKKS tackles the long awaited Batman V Superman feaure film from Warner Bros and upon first glance, I'd say they are going to be putting out some of the best stuff on the market.

Amadeus Cho is the... Totally.. Awesome.. Hulk?

He's been red, grey, red and green...a gangster, smart, mindless and raging. Now, Amadeus Cho (whose mom was likely just introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron) one of the smartest people on the planet is stepping into the Jade Giant's shoes in a comic with a title torn straight from the 80's and seemingly designed to scream "COME ON, GIVE ME YOUR HATE!!" at fanboys everywhere. It's... Totally Awesome Hulk... and while the powerhouse team of Pak and Cho are enough to make me full lemur, the poster art strewn about New York Comic Con had many a fan saying WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??!! Marvel is never gentle with the band aid. They just rip it right off. Mean bastards.

Want to See an Animated Dragon's Lair Movie?

To a kid drinking in entire worlds of 8bit graphics in arcades across Brooklyn, the amazing animation fueling the action of Dragon's Lair was mindblowing. The game had a fairly dark sense of humor (and some adult art in regards to the heroine), setting it apart from cartoons we'd see on TV and in movies, cementing fond memories of gameplay and leaving behind legions of loyal fans who would go on to make action figures, art and cosplay characters, always there to tell the creators we would never forget. Welp...I think it finally sank in!
