Bio Shock Infinite Booker DeWitt 7" Figure First Look


Kickstart Mighty No. 9 and you may get a nifty plush

0
0

If you have been keeping up with the games campaigning to raise money on Kickstarter (and even if you haven't), odds are you have heard of Mighty No. 9, the brainchild of Keiji Inafune and a spiritual successor to the Megaman series. The Kickstarter is a roaring success, with US$2,514,300 pledged at press time and still 5 days left on the campaign. One of the rewards for pledging your money is an exclusive plush and, today on the game's Kickstarter blog, they revealed the toy's character and design. The plush will be of a Xel, one of the cell-like beings that makes up the Beck's world. 

To get the plush, which is described as "bigger than a grapefruit, but smaller than a volleyball," you need to pledge US$175 or more to the campaign. This is certainly not pocket change but you will get additional rewards for your pledge, including two different t-shirts, a printed art book/strategy guide, beta access, and more. Check out the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter campaign to learn more.

Fox and Warner Bros. Announce New Police Drama, Gotham

It seems like Warner Bros. wants to have something to coincide with Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television show on ABC. Fox and Warner Bros. Television are apparently working on a television show titled ‘Gotham,’ focusing on the police force in Gotham City and a young James Gordon before he became a commissioner. We’ll follow Gordon as he does detective work revolving around some of Gotham’s most famous villains.

I like this idea a lot, as it’s been done in a couple of alternative DC comics already. Most notably, Gotham Central, by Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka and MIchael Lark. It really opened the idea of how interesting it really could be following around the Gotham police force in a post-Batman world.

The show will be developed by Bruno Heller, who also worked on HBO’s Rome and CBS’ Mentalist. No word on when anything else will come out of this any time soon, but regardless, I’m excited.

ESC has a bunch of small-run pieces up for sale

Erick Scarecrow and ESC-Toy have been a bit quiet as of late, probably preparing for NYCC, but he's just put a whole bunch of one-offs and limited-run pieces in his shop:

  • Skratch Fury (US$300) and the Wet Suit Maria Sherbert (US$300) are both one of a kind custom pieces, while the last Monochrome Black Little Axe has already sold
  • If you want something a bit more metallic, there's the Copper Chelly Chainsaw (US$400), and only two have been made
  • The last Neo Tokyo 03 Drake in its interesting color palette is also available for US$500
  • A 9-piece run of the neon-colored Muraida Slush — my personal favorite design of the bunch — has arrived to smother you in a gooey wave of paint. It's 10 inches tall and comes with a special 8-inch-by-10-inch Giclee print by Yaji and Erick Scarecrow for US$125.
  • Finally, there's an 11-by-17 Giclee print available called Not My Colors, which is actually kind of adorable. Maybe it's the kid graffiti artist and the pig cop pointing at the graffiti like a parent scolding a child, but I like it. They're US$45 and only 25 have been made, each signed and numbered.

Any of these catch your eye?

Bad things come to an end with this Heisenberg head bust

0

Breaking Bad will come to its end this Sunday. While it feels like Tomino or Martin are writing the series, it's been one of the best series I've ever watched. While a few companies have taken their crack at merchandise from the series, they do not have the details that Christopher Genovese has put into his 1/3 scale busts of Walter White.

Available at his Etsy shop are 3 versions of the school teacher turned meth emperor. You have your choice of a painted bust, traditional white, or bronze-styled. The prices range for each piece, with the unpainted white Heisenberg coming in at $100, the bronze-styled for $150 and the full-colored at $250.00. Each piece is made to order, weighing in at just over 3.5 pounds and over 7 inches tall. 

You can also check out the rest of his Etsy store which features a much more admirable character than Walter White, a 1/3 scale bust of Louis C.K.

Minecraft Block Cake Ironically Makes Your Body Round

We’ve never seen anything quite as blocky as the Minecraft Block Cake, which is strange.  Seeing that I am indeed one of the biggest blockheads of all time, you think that I would have covered this already. That was a bad joke, and I should feel bad, but I don’t really.  There have been far worse jokes made on the internet, and my joke is (comparatively) eloquent.     All of the mini blocks that constitute the one, larger block are actually ...

The highly anticipated, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,...

The highly anticipated, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., premiered on Tuesday night to many mixed feelings from critics and fans alike. The show was screened to an amazing 11.9 million television viewers, which isn’t surprising considering the massive amount of hype the show has garnered since The Avengers blew up box offices. Its director, Joss Whedon, has done nothing but gather attention toward this show, showing it off as a cool new television series to correspond the aftermath of the first Avengers movie, and introduce a new cast of heroes who handle the smaller stuff the big guys, like Hulk and Captain America, don’t.

Joss Whedon, his brother Jed Whedon, and Jed’s wife Maurissa Tancharoen, all worked together to craft a television show of minor spy action and X-Files type dilemmas. The show takes place in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, brings back Agent Colson, and is sure to gather even more momentum by its second episode. But overall, the pilot was just…okay.

AWESOME [+]

  • Clark Gregg is back as Agent Phil Coulson. It’s great to see an already known character of the Marvel universe bringing some familiarity to the new show.
  • The fighting, when it happened, was fun to watch. The gadgets included in the show were interesting. It’s a wondrous setup for a world of secret agent possibilities Whedon is prepping us up for.
  • As much as the show seemed like it would drag, it kept things amusing. Corny jokes included, I didn’t once think of turning off Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
  • I mean, more live-action Marvel on a weekly basis. How cool is that!

NOT AWESOME [-]

  • This show feels totally 90’s. I feel like everyone is dismissing this with a “that’s just Joss Whedon, haven’t you seen Buffy?,” attitude, but I can’t accept that. Whedon in the 90’s is different from post-Avengers-with-a-billion-dollar-budget-Whedon.
  • Not as smart as it could have been. Corny jokes aside, the pilot was extremely simplistic and used words like “gamma,” “New York incident ” and “The Hulk,” to grab the attention of those wanting something bigger than what was presented. This is an extremely small-scale squad of government agents dealing with a world of superheroes. They won’t be dealing with Captain America and Thor every episode, and I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon.
  • Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was absolutely always shown with Coulson’s character being pretty much resurrected after have dying in The Avengers film. There is no plausible reason why Coulson is back in the show and no in-depth answer was really given. It was kind of shunned. Hopefully it’s answered soon?

VERDICT

Truth is, this is more like the Bourne trilogy mixed with feelings of X-Files than it is anything related to Marvel’s Avengers film. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s also not what a huge chunk of the audience was expecting. There’s not much we can expect right now with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and as much as I’d love to watch S.H.I.E.L.D. agents try to recapture Spider-Man’s alien symbiote suit (wouldn’t happen due to license issues), or the agency attempting to stop a b-lister villain from killing innocent civilians (I’m pretty sure license issues are a key part to this show being not a total nerdgasm at the moment), I think the show is leaning toward original story arcs and characters if anything at all.

While the pilot wasn’t exactly the strongest, it’s also just a setup for each character involved and how things will run from here on out. Hopefully it pulls itself together by episode three so we can get a true feel for the show.

It's been a Mighty Morphin week here at Tomopop with all of our Mighty Morphin Power Ranger reviews. So it's just perfect that Bluefin Tamashii Nations has now officially listed the MMPR Black Ranger as their next addition to their S.H. Figuarts line. We first saw the Black Ranger on display at SDCC, so his addition isn't such a surprise.

Unlike the other MMPR figures released, the Black Ranger will come with the starting pieces to build their Power Blaster. The upcoming Yellow and Blue Ranger figures will come with the other parts needed to complete the Blaster. The Black Ranger will also come with his Power Axe, Thunder Slinger, Blade Blaster and interchangeable hand parts.

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Black Ranger will be released in March.
