Background Recently, Kidrobot released a blindbox series of 3-inch tall vinyl toys based on their namesake – the Kidrobot. Named 'Bots, the series consists of eleven different figure designs in various attire. Some of the figures might look familiar, some might look completely new.

I’m a sucker for an infographic.  Something that can relay a lot of data, but, in a very pretty and effective format.  Some people think they are getting overdone, but, to that … I say they are viewing the wrong ones.

The season finale of Transformers Prime ended in quite an epic way: after surrendering the power of the Matrix to defeat Unicron, Optimus Prime lost his memory, reverting to his Orion Pax days on Cybertron. So, with the second season about to begin on February 18, 2012 at 8:30 PM on The Hub, MTV is debuting the trailer of the first episode of season two titled quot;Orion Pax Part 1.quot; The video catches the viewer up from last season, and shows a lot of the epic action carried over from the season final

Kuso Vinyl has been steadily posting photos of figures from their upcoming Spiki Chisaai Thundercraps Series by Rotobox and Mai Hiro. So far we’ve got Evil Lion-Oh, Siberian Tigrowl, and now the female fatal feline, Cheatarah. Are Panthro and Wilykit and Wilykat in the works? Let’s wait and find out!

A Little Bit on the Shmup Side: What’s this? A Cave shooter is getting a physical release in North America? Yep. Rising Star, who published a PAL version of DoDonPachi: Daifukkatsu are expanding to North America and their first gift to us is horizontal shooter, Akai Katana Shin. This is Cave’s weakest shmup in a while, so I’ll be more than happy to buy this release rather than the real deal Japanese version.

There were a bunch of wacky videos that came out this week. So enough talk. Hit the jump for the ALBOTAS Weekend Film Fest!

Michel Gondry’s work can get pretty surreal, and so it’s only fitting that he’s done a Japanese commercial.

Hope you know English because that’s the only thing that will keep you from getting kicked off Megan Fox island.

Freddie Wong embarks on a quest for the Super Mario Bros. fire flower in his latest special effects-laden video.

Coinciding with the PS3-exclusive character reveals earlier this week, Street Fighter X Tekken producer Yoshinori Ono visited the 1UP office. The crew did the only thing you could possibly do with that opportunity.

Finally, Patrick Boivin made this stop motion video of classic Optimus Prime vs. Michael Bay Optimus Prime. It’s interactive, so you get to choose the outcome!

Catch you next week! And if you have any video suggestions send them to pixeldripgallery@gmail.com.

It is no secret that Poppy Parker is probably the best selling series of Integrity Toys dolls. And of course they would have some new dolls to show at IDEX. The big news here is Poppy's boyfriend, Chip, who is making his first appearance, after a small sneak preview back in October and Integrity's convention.

Chips is presented as a gift set with his beloved Poppy. The set is called Baby It's You and Chip's full name is Chip Farnsworth III (so he's probably rich) and they're both in evening attire as they are attending a college dance. Chip looks very cute and will make a smashing couple with Poppy. Love his pompadour hair and his tuxedo. He is wearing suspenders!

Poppy Parker looks gorgeous too - even in such a puffy prom dress. Her shoes are to die for and so is her make up. If I see another stud earring I will scream. I like the price - US$150 for a two doll gift set is fine.

 

Moonlight and Kisses Darla Daley makes her appearance in an elegant long baby blue gown with matching shoes and clutch bag, a bracelet, studs (aaaargh!) and her very own microphone!The blue eye shadow is not to my taste but she looks beautiful. And the new Darla sculpt is not cartoon-y as the old one was. 

"What, only three dolls?" you may ask. Well, not exactly. Check out the following post for the surprise new endeavour that Poppy Parker finds herself into.

Since DYZplastic's Android Series 2 figures sold so well ... why not make Series 3? That's exactly what's going to be happening this year, featuring another round of 3-inch Android vinyl figures. Along with returning artists Gary Ham, Scott Tolleson and Andrew Bell, the Series 3 line-up adds kaNO, Huck Gee, Sket One, MAD, Kronk and Kelly Denato.

Expect to see Series 3 drop in the second quarter of 2012. Anyone considering picking these up based on the names announced alone?

For long-time X-Men fans, one artist comes up in conversations more than any other (unless you are talking to someone who grew up in the 90's that is), and his time on the title has done more to define the mutant heroes than any other creator, save writer Chris Claremont. One of Byrne's coolest additions to the X-universe was his team of Canadian super heroes, Alpha Flight. Follow this link to check out an original art for a page from the issue they first appeared, X-Men #120, April 1979.
