Batman The Dark Knight Rises 100% Be@rbrick

Earlier this month Medicom released Be@rbrick Series 24, its newest 100% Be@rbrick blind box series that The Blot knows pop culture fans are going to go crazy over. Along with Snoopy, Felix the Cat and Gossip Girl designs, this Be@rbrick series also includes the awesome The Dark Knight Rises Batman Be@rbrick seen here! Featuring Batman’s updated costume from Christopher Nolan’s third and final Batman film, this 3” figure actually looks pretty cool.

SDCC 12 Exclusive Chew: Secret Agent Poyo #1 Metallic Foil Variant Cover

Chew, by John Layman and Rob Guillory, has quickly become one of The Blot’s favorite comic books. I love pretty much everything about this book, and if you haven’t read it yet go pick up the first trade ASAP! If you are reading Chew, then you’ll be excited to know that in just a few weeks Image Comics will be releasing a Chew one shot featuring the book’s most popular supporting character, and comic’s most beloved homicidal cybernetic kung-fu rooster, Poyo!

What I especially love about this one shot is that Image will be releasing a San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Pink Metallic Foil Variant Cover for it. It’s the ‘90s all over again, and I love it! There was a time when every comic released had a die cut, hologram or metallic foil cover and The Blot ate it up. Thankfully that trend died a quick death, but every once in a while it’s nice to have it rear its ugly head again. It really is so bad it’s good! The fun SDCC Variant can be purchased exclusively at the Image Comics SDCC booth for $10 each.

SDCC 12 Exclusive “This Is Your Brain” Custom Mini Jumping Brain Vinyl Figures by Mikie Graham

For San Diego Comic-Con 2012, Mikie Graham has created a small run of custom Mini Jumping Brain vinyl figures entitled "This Is Your Brain." As you can see in the photo below, Mikie has crafted a miniature recreation of the 80's anti-drug scare ad "Your Brain On Drugs" using Emilio Garcia's mini jumping brain figures! How cool is that? Playing with the shape of the mini figure, Mikie used clear resin and a little hand painted detail to make the vinyl figures resemble a sunny-side up egg. Finishing off the scale illusion, Mikie found miniature cast iron frying pans that perfectly fit his mini fried eggs.

Mikie will have 10 of his San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive “This Is Your Brain” Custom Mini Jumping Brains for sale at Dragatomi's SDCC booth #4935, starting on Preview night, for only $45.

SDCC 12 Exclusive Blue Snaggletooth 12” Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars Action Figure by Gentle Giant

Just like they were when you were a kid, only BIGGER! As they have for the past two years, Gentle Giant will be releasing a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive figure from its popular line of 12 inch vintage Star Wars action figure reproductions. This year’s SDCC exclusive is a reproduction of the extremely rare “blue” Snaggletooth from 1978. Released as part of the Sears “Star Wars Cantina Adventure Set,” the Snaggletooth figure was intended to represent the character who would later be known as Zutton. However, the only reference used for the figure was a partial black and white photograph of the alien’s head. The body was unknown, so the sculptors and artists improvised, creating a tall alien with a tight blue spacesuit and silver boots. From 1979 onward, including later Sears releases of the cantina set, all versions of Snaggletooth were changed to a red color, with bare feet and hands and shorter legs (seen here).

Digitally scanned from mint Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 12" tall, this Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars Blue Snaggletooth action figure by Gentle Giant is an exact replica of the classic ‘70s toy. Injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure includes a faithfully reproduced blaster, is fully articulated and comes packaged on a 1977 style Star Wars inspired blister card with a plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display this awesome action figure.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Star Wars 12 inch Jumbo Vintage Kenner Blue Snaggletooth action figure by Gentle Giant has a limited edition run size of 2,000 pieces, and will retail for $80 exclusively at Gentle Giant’s SDCC booth.

The hype around the release of The Walking Dead #100 this summer is going to be huge and everything connected to it will flying off the shelves, especially this limited edition watch from Vannen. If this release is anything like Vannen’s first two collaborations with Skybound they won’t be available for long at SDCC.

B&W The Beatles Pop! Rocks “Color Reject” Set by Funko

Any time I’m in the market for the rarest of the rare Funko releases, my first stop is always Gemini Collectibles. Sometimes I don’t even know what I’m looking for. The perfect example of that is this Black and White “Color Reject” Set of Funko’s The Beatles Pop! Rocks Yellow Submarine figures. I didn’t even know these existed!

According to Gemini Collectibles, these black and white figures were supposed to be a Gemini store exclusive. Originally, Funko was given the green light to produce these figures by the licenser and 10 sample sets were created. But before they were submitted to the licenser for approval, the licenser changed their mind and the project was scratched. 9 of these 10 sets are now available for purchase. Each box comes hand signed and numbered by Funko's Brian Mariotti on its bottom with the words "color reject" (which had to be written on the box).

This extremely rare Black and White “Color Reject” Beatles Pop! Rocks Yellow Submarine Set includes five figures: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and the Blue Meanie and can be purchased exclusively at the Gemini Collectibles online store for $1,375 (per set).

SDCC 12 Exclusive Bones Vinyl Figure by Mike Egan

Luke always makes amazing figures, and this one looks great. I can’t wait to see it in person. This San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Bones vinyl figure can be purchased exclusively at DKE Toys’ SDCC booth #4728 for $45 each. What an amazing price for this scale of a figure.

SDCC 12 Exclusive Target Vinyl Figure by Luke Chueh

This summer Luke Chueh will be teaming up once again with Munky King to release a killer San Diego Comic-Con exclusive! This year’s release is Target, a brand new vinyl figure based on Luke’s classic painting of the same name. This two piece set includes a 6.5” vinyl bear with a 10.5” resin bullet-ridden backdrop. What’s really beautiful about this piece is how the highly detailed resin base contrasts with the minimalist aesthetic of Luke's iconic bear. Each Target vinyl figure includes a removable brush and bucket, and comes packaged in a box featuring Luke's revisit of his original illustration. What The Blot really loves about this piece is that the backdrops were designed to interlock with one another, so if you decide to purchase future Target colorways you can create your own deadly Luke Chueh diorama.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Target vinyl figure by Luke Chueh and Munky King has a limited edition run size of 250 pieces and will retail for $140. Pick one up at Munky King’s SDCC booth #4539. Luke will also be on hand at Munky King’s booth throughout SDCC signing is new figure and even customizing each Target wall with a hand-drawn graphic!

Adventure Time x Mimobot USB Flashdrive Collection & SDCC 12 Exclusive Fionna

Mimoco announced its newest collaboration this week and it’s HUGE! Not only are they teaming up with the Cartoon Network to release the Adventure Time x Mimobot Designer USB Flashdrive Collection, but they are also releasing an extremely rare Fionna Adventure Time Mimobot at San Diego Comic-Con 2012. So now, instead of transporting your super-important data on a boring old flash drive, you can bring your data with you on an amazing adventure with a Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, or Fionna Mimobot! Each comes preloaded with awesome Adventure Time content (like full episodes of the show) and all available in a range of 4GB to 64 GB memory capacities starting at just $14.99.

Finn, Adventure Time’s main man, is beyond just a kid and the Finn Mimobot is beyond just another flash drive. Armed with his awesome hat, backpack and sword, there is no evil too scary for him to face, no adventure too big to be adventured, and for the Finn Mimobot, no file too important. Oh yeah, and when you whip Finn Mimobot out, everyone will know that you are King Awesome.

Jake loves Finn. But Adventure Time’s Jake is not your average dog…he’s stretchy too! The Jake Mimobot can be just as loyal and loving a friend, and is just as flexible. Jake Mimobot is there in a pinch and will proclaim to your friends and coworkers that yes, you love Adventure Time, and no, you will not let them down.

Princess Bubblegum is the ruler of the Candy Kingdom and, sometimes, the ruler of Finn’s heart. But just because she’s fickle in love doesn’t mean she doesn’t care. Princess Bubblegum will always be there to help Finn, just as the Princess Bubblegum Mimobot will be at your side, in your pocket, or sitting next to your computer, ready to store and transport your documents, pics, music, and more within her cute, pink, and candytastic Mimo-shell.

Fionna Mimobot is just as big an adventurer as the Finn Mimobot, without all that stupid boy stuff! Her awesome hat has bunny ears, her sword is pink, her hair is long, and her adventures are huge! So she’s not available yet, but Fionna Mimobot will join her Adventure Time x Mimbot Collection friends this July at SDCC!

The San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Fionna Mimobot has a limited edition run size of just 500 pieces and can be purchased at Mimoco's SDCC booth #4936-4938 and at the Star Wars Pavillion Booth #2913m starting at $14.99. If you can’t make it to SDCC, Mimoco is compiling a waiting list for any unsold inventory. The remaining Mimobots will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis to those who register for the waiting list by emailing SDCC@mimoco.com and reference the design you’d like to reserve in the subject of your email.

Breaking Bad Screen Print #8 - The Mexican Shootout by Rich Kelly

“The Mexican Shootout” by Rich Kelly is the eight screen print in the Breaking Bad Alternate Reality Game Series released in honor of the hit AMC television show Breaking Bad’s fifth and final season. This print depicts one of the coolest scenes in the history of Breaking Bad, and that’s saying a lot! While I love this image of Jesse, Gus and Mike, I’m not so sure how well it works as a print. Yes the coloring is amazing, but is this really an image you’d want on your wall?

Rich Kelly’s limited edition Breaking Bad screen print “The Mexican Shootout” measures 18”x24”, has a run size of 300 pieces (only 200 available for purchase) and comes hand signed and numbered by the artist. The print will retail for $50 each and can be purchased here.

To celebrate and honor the fifth and final season of Breaking Bad, 16 of the top artists and graphic designers have been commissioned to create screenprints depicting some of the series' most memorable scenes, characters and shocking moments for Gallery1988 and its Breaking Bad ARG, Breaking Gifs. These screenprints are hand-pulled, each its own individual work of art, in an edition of just 300, with only 200 available to the public through this project. Once the edition is sold out, they will never be printed again.

Savage Dragon Skateboard by Freak Show & Erik Larsen

As you may or may not know, The Blot is a gigantic Savage Dragon fan! I’ve been reading Erik Larsen’s long running comic book since the very first issue was released back in 1992, which means I’ve now been reading the Image comic for well over half of my life. So when Illinois skateboard company Freak Show (Facebook) announced earlier this week that it was launching its new line of comic book themed Longbox skateboards with a Savage Dragon skate deck I got really excited! While I’ve never been much of a skateboarder, I am seriously tempted to pick up one of these beautiful decks to add to my Dragon collection. Wouldn’t it look sick with a Savage Dragon doodle on it by Larsen!?!

While I haven’t been able to find out too much information on the company itself, I did learn the Savage Dragon skateboard is now available for pre-order through Freak Show's online store in three different options: there’s the basic Savage Dragon deck for $54.99, a signed Savage Dragon deck signed by the character’s creator Erik Larsen for $74.99, and a complete working Savage Dragon deck for $149.99. All decks are scheduled to ship the first week of July, and can be purchased at the Freak Show online store or by emailing them at freakshowskateboards@gmail.com.

This super-sized Helicarrier will also include two special edition Marvel Universe action figures: a brand new version of Captain America and a SHIELD Agent Maria Hill!

Thanks to some flippers who have already gotten their hands on some cases of Kidrobot’s upcoming Dunny Series 2012, we now have a pretty good picture of the red chase colorway of Andrew Bell’s awesome looking Mahākāla 3” Dunny. This figure turned out amazing and with a matching 8” Dunny coming at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 you know this red chase is going to be highly sought after.

First Look: Tube Monster Vinyl Figure by VISEone

VISEone is about to launch an all new toy line based on his popular dripping tube customs. Since VISEone started with his tube custom concept, he was hoping to be able to release his own character dripping out of a tube one day. Thankfully for VISEone’s fans, that day is finally here! The German artist is teaming up with Flying LuLu to produce the 8” Tube Monster prototypes you see above.

There are still some corrections that need to be made before it's ready for the wax model, but it looks like things are full steam ahead! The first Tube Monster colorway is the Zombie Juice Edition, which will tentatively be released at New York Comic-Con 2012. After that, who knows what awesome colorways might be in the works! Until we can see the final product, check out the 3D model and preliminary sculpts above, as well as the figure’s official packaging artwork.

Wil Wheaton Plush Figure by Joel Watson of HijiNKS ENSUE

Joel Watson, creator of the hit webcomic HijiNKS ENSUE, has teamed up with Wil Wheaton to produce the very first (and probably only) Whil Wheaton plush doll. Whether you’re a huge Star Trek: The Next Generation fan or just an internet geek who follows Wil’s every move on TV, Twitter and via his blog you’re going to love this Lil’ Wil Wheaton Plushie.

According to the legend of the Lil’ Wil Wheaton Plushie, Wil dared Joel via Twitter to draw him as a plushie. Almost a year later the little guy now exists in the real world. For just $19.95 you can own your own Wil Wheaton plush to cuddle with at night while wearing your Star Trek pajamas! Just make sure it’s not a set of red shirt Star Trek pajamas. You can pick up this snarky Wheaton doll at the HijiNKS ENSUE online store.
