CAPTAIN AMERICA IN POST-IT NOTE FORM
This was made by a Redditor who says that he does Marvel movies big at his office. I love how Thor’s looking all jealous of Cap’s legs.

Wir sind die jager, and you can be one too with Sentinel's Eren
If you're itching for more Attack on Titan scale figures, Sentinel will be putting theirs up for pre-order soon. This Brave Act Eren Yeager was shown unpainted at WonFes, but now you can get a look at the painted version on Sentinel's blog.
Eren doesn't have the most exciting pose ever, but you do get a couple of poses to choose from. There will also be a cleaning variant as there was with Levi! Eren will be going up for pre-order on April 9 for ¥8,200. You'll also be able to pre-order Levi again on the same day, as he'll be getting another production run.

The Jelly Empire's Cosmic Jellybots are out of this world
Selina Briggs of The Jelly Empire has passed along some pictures and information about her releases for this weekend's MoCCA Festival in New York City. Check the gallery below for some images of her absolutely beautiful Cosmic Jellybots, which have an edition size of just 10 pieces. Whatever doesn't sell at the event will go up at her online shop later.
Since I missed posting about these earlier, I've also added pictures in the gallery of the Steampunk Gentlebots (Oh. Em. Gee. HOW DID I MISS THESE?) and Playbot Bunnies. The Gentlebots are an edition size of five, and the Playbots are only four in number, but will come with chocolate eggs since Easter is coming up.
Additionally, Selina will be selling some plushies of Jellybot, some of which even sport a fab mustache. If you attend MoCCA Fest, make sure you at least pass by booth C24 and say hello!

Nendoroid Gilgamesh emerges from the Gate of Babylon
After breaking cover at WonFes, it was surely only a matter of time before the King of Heroes from Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night wound up in a Kahotan preview. And indeed, today's that day as Nendoroid Gilgamesh goes under the camera.
Gil has always had an incredibly impressive character design when decked out in his golden armour, and Good Smile Company have done an admirable job recreating that design in super-deformed size. The sharp lines, the cloth drapes, it's all there and in excellent detail. They've managed to nail his ultra-smug expression as well, although it's a little disappointing you only get one additional face (a shouting one).
You'll find ample compensation in the accessories though. Aside from an immaculately painted recreation of his sword Ea, the major pack-in here is a large plastic effect part that clips onto the stand behind him. By mounting the included weapons through the appropriate slots in the effect, you're able to recreate his 'Gate of Babylon' ultimate attack. It's quite a sight for sure. Kahotan's also sure to point out each individual weapon can be held as a normal accessory.
Overall, it's looking like one of the sharpest Nendoroids yet. We don't have a price yet (I'd guess above average) but we do know that pre-orders will open on April 9th, next Wednesday. Who's in?

Teaser emerges for Kotobukiya's gender-bending Bishoujo Freddy Krueger
Kotobukiya has posted a teaser for its upcoming Bishoujo Freddy Krueger, which is very loosely based on the iconic villain from the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise... basically amounting to an attractive female cosplaying as the dream demon-empowered nightmare.
While the idea continues to be a glorious train wreck, the experience may be somewhat soured by Kotobukiya's decision to use translucent hair (a widely disliked trend in collectibles today). However, judging just from the the teaser, the Bishuojo Freddy is still on track to be a completely WTF! figure perfectly suited to sitting on your coffee table where it will baffle visitors.

round about: New York City
You may have noticed this week was a little light on blog posts, and a little heavy on Instagram and Twitter updates! I just returned from a whirlwind trip to New York City, and I’m still processing all the awesome that happened in such a short amount of time. The trip was sponsored by American […]

WonderCon has Furry Feline Creatives 'Walking like Dead'
This coming WonderCon, Alvin and Cheri Ong of Furry Feline Creatives will place four of their cuddly critters into gritty scenarios for our amusement. All told, staying up all night playing video games or oversleeping with a mudpack on isn't exactly on par with a zombie infestation but that is the premise for their con-exclusive "Walking like Dead" line. In the teaser video, we can spot familiar faces like the cats, Purridge and Ringo along with their buddies, Piga the pig and Chef Tako the octopus but they don't quite look their happy, sunny selves. Something's off. One has eye bags. Another is drooling. And well, poor Piga seems to be stuck with that mudpack. Maybe a hug will make them feel better?
WonderCon attendees will be able to rescue these plushes at Furry Feline Creatives' booth #1161. Prices and edition sizes haven't been revealed yet. But expect these to be very limited edition. Each one is handmade by Cheri Ong.
